Waiting

Because of the changes, the wedding guests were now limited to close family and friends only. Sierra returned to her quarters to change out of her coronation dress. Ida and the other maids quickly got her into her wedding outfit. 

Vy had originally suggested white since it was tradition for brides from where she was from to wear white. But Sierra never really liked lighter colors. Furthermore, she wanted to make a statement and wore what she liked. 

After all, it was her and Alistair's big day. She wanted it to be special for both of them. Hence, she chose a form-fitted dress that was still easy to move in, with a removable long skirt. Her chest piece clung to her skin tightly, but it still gave her the mobility she wanted. 

She gently patted the fabric on her sides. Her twin swords that'd accompanied her through thick and thin were safely hidden under the layers of fabric. No one could tell they were hidden in there.
