Chapter 27

  Scarlett

  “The King seeks your presence, my princess,” an old lady bowed to me. The ivory white walls of the palace seemed strangely familiar as if I had grown up in that palace and cried between the four taffy pink walls of my room.

  Throwing a last glance in the mirror, I adjusted my diamond tiara before nodding my head in approval, satisfied with my looks. The peach satin gown with frills at the top around my shoulders made me look like a royal princess. The silver stone-studded, multi-layer necklace matched perfectly with my dress.

  As I made my way out of my room, one of the maids trotted hastily to me with matching peach gloves in her hands. “Princess, be careful. It’s a big day and nobody should touch you except your mate,” she informed, helping me with wearing the gloves and a diamond ring.
