Chapter 2 part 2

"My father's last requests were one, having me coronated and two, the two of us getting married."

"This soon?"

"Yes. I suppose he thought that two back to back celebrations would cheer up our subjects."

"Maybe."

"Now why don't we begin preparations?" Lizzy grins and calls for her head maid. "Naoki! Did father ever say anything about a wedding?"

"Yes My Lady." Naoki looks like a regular human except for her ears and tail of a cat. "He said soon after your coronation you would be getting married. Although he did not say to whom. All he said was that you would know the one that you'll be married to. He also said to begin preparations immediately. That was about a month ago."

"Good. I should have known that he would be think ahead like that. What all has been prepared?"

"Your dress, the guests, the theme, and pretty much all of it."

"What hasn't been prepared is probably a better question."

"The cake as well as the other foods and the groom's suit."

"Well then as soon as the suit is made we'll be able to have the wedding."

"So who's the lucky fellow?"

"Him." She gestures to Colby who she saw was blushing.

"I did notice you two spending lots of time together. That makes sense. It's also a whole lot better than a random suitor."

"Right? I heard stories that most other princesses are forced to marry people their parents decide for them. Sounds terrible." Naoki grabbed Colby by the arm and dragged him away proclaiming that he needed measured. "I see Naoki's still the same." Lizzy giggles.

"My Lady!" One of the other maids excaims.

"Yes Naomi?" Naomi and the head maid are twins.

"You need to pick your dress!"

"Huh?"

"The seamstresses made several different dresses. So you need to pick one!"

"Alright." Lizzy smiles. She looks over the many dresses and ends up unable to decide between four of them. One was white and had trailing sleeves with flowers embroidered on it. Another was white in the center and had crimson sides. Yet another was red and black with trailing sleeves. The last was a regal blue one.

"If it helps My Lady, the groom chose a blue suit."

"Thank you Naoki." Lizzy smiles. "It does."
