With a glow on her face, Adrianna said, "You all know the purpose of the event today. My son, Ileus Volkov, has chosen his mate. The prophecy has come true and this is what the fates wanted. Who are we to play with fate? Anastasia, the fae princess of Vilinski, is going to be my son's wife." A loud applause stopped her from speaking for a moment. She looked at the audience, appreciative of their acceptance, with her warm golden eyes. When the sound of claps faded, she continued, "The wedding will take place the day after tomorrow."
