Chapter 86: Welcoming The New Bride
The rest of the evening went by like the wind, the celebration of the peace treaty, and then like a snap it was OVER. I rode back to the castle with Mother. According to her she said the princess will be arriving at our household tomorrow, I didn’t say anything, I didn’t make a sound ever since my encounter with Cedric. I felt silence was best for me right now.
The moment the carriage stopped I was out before Mother could say anymore, I rushed the stairs raising my gown, I felt a burning stare at my back I knew it was no other than Cedric, I needed to be out of here fast, I didn’t want to look at him.
"My lady," Olivia said with a smile and a bow. "Let’s go," I said as I continued striding straight to my chambers, "My lady, is anything the matter?"

The birds chirped at the base of my window like they usually do, I didn’t have an ounce of sleep, for I was awake all through, the will to sleep didn’t come to me, for I just laid there staring at my windows or whatever pleases me. Seeing the shimmering sun shining into my chambers, I knew it was morning, the bird’s chirps getting louder. I moved out of my bed getting to my window, my orbs fell on the green rose I planted, a gift from Lawrence, it had already spun many branches and more roses, about five of them now, they were even more beautiful and it reminded me of his eyes, feeling pain to my chest I quickly looked away.
The doors barging open, I knew it was Olivia.

I took small bites of my food, making sure I forced myself to eat. I didn’t want to starve myself, for it would hinder my health. I should remember Mother’s words and stay strong no matter what.
"Are you sure you should be here Sylvia?" Mother asked, keeping her printed paper to the side, and turning her attention to me.
