Shaking

As the final preparations were complete, Laina admired herself in the long mirror. 

Her dress of black and gold was regal. It paired well with her black heels and braided hair. 

"You look amazing, Laina," Margaret praised. 

As everything was coming to fruition, Laina grew nervous. Her heart was pounding in her chest. Her hands were beginning to shake. 

Laina turned to her best friend, "Margaret, I… I…"

She did not need to say anything, Margaret already knew what she was worried about. She held onto Laina's hands reassuringly. 

"There is nothing to worry about, Laina. You're going to become a wonderful queen."

"But what if something goes wrong," that was Laina's worst nightmare. 

Everything had been planned meticulously. But Laina had enemies in Kinshearth and beyond. Should one of them choose to disrupt the ceremony, things could turn out badly.
