Chapter 93: The Wedding, Part I
"Now, everything is ready, Your Highness."
Bella announced with a sense of accomplishment, her hands delicately adjusting the flowing veil that cascaded from AIdeen’s beautiful silver tiara. With precision, she made final tweaks to the sleeves of the wedding dress before stepping back, her gaze filled with admiration.
"I wish you could see it, My Lady! It’s so breathtakingly beautiful that I can hardly contain my emotions," Bella confessed, her sincerity evident in her voice.
The princess’s lips curled into a smile at the maid’s genuine display of emotion.
"I must agree. I’ve seen... well, I suppose I can say it now. I’ve seen this dress before, and it truly is astonishingly beautiful."
However, Bella couldn’t help but politely disagree with such a modest remark.
"No, Your Highness, it’s not just the dress that is beautiful, but the person who wears it," Bella insisted earnestly, her voice filled with conviction. "Let me say it again. The dress is astonishing indeed, but it’s you who makes it so unforgettably stunning."
Aideen couldn’t help but smile once more, her cheeks flushing with a fresh shade of pinkish blush.
She turned to her right, facing the mirror, her gaze intent on capturing the moment. Despite her ability to cloak herself with mana, she longed to see her own reflection. What good was magic if it couldn’t grant her that simple pleasure? The inability to see herself was a constant ache, yet she found solace in admiring the beauty of those around her.
