Arrival 2

Zara blushed with a crazy smile and said, "You do not need to praise me that much, Mom." Her eyes gleamed at hearing her mother's compliments.

"So... tell me how do you feel honey?"

"About what?" She felt the need to be sure, even though she knew where her mother was going.

"About getting to know the Endorian Prince, your future spouse,"

I don't know..., worried,"

Catherine sighed as she gave advice, "I know you are Darling, but be cool do not let your fear show, it happened to me as well, and that is just what I did!"

I hope you are aware of what you are going to do.

"I know Mom,"

"And I hope you're certain about it,"

I am prepared to do this for the kingdom, so do not worry about me, Mom. If I am not, it will be too late to turn back.

The father who had entered just a moment before eventually said, "Spoken like the true princess that you are," and he moved forward to kiss her forehead.

"You know she just finished doing her makeup; please do not wreck it," Catherine warned King George, causing everyone in the room to chuckle, which came to a halt as they heard the carillon bell.

A guard hurried into the chamber and said, "Your Majesty, The Endorians have arrived," lowering his head.

"Go ahead, let me talk to her for a little longer," Catherine told her husband, who nodded and dashed out of the room with the guard.

She muttered, "Oh Zara, I do not really have much to say to you, I am just as terrified as you are, but I just want you to know that I am proud of you and that I am here for you as well. If you feel that he will not be good for you, you can always tell me," before adding, "I love you."

Eugene went to the back to gather up Zara's chapel train, which poured across the floor, and her mom grap her trembling hands before everyone else exited the room.

Zara and her mother stood by her father, as did Charles, who was already there with him.

Zara almost laughed out loud when she saw her brother in his royal suit; she was not laughing at him because he looked horrible, but because, aside from the loose pants and shirts he constantly supports with his suspenders, she had not seen him in those in a long time.

"Get lost," Charles murmured to Zara once he discovered she was laughing at him. He knew what his sister was laughing at because he too felt strange in the outfit. The sound of the trumpeter suddenly attracted their attention as a carriage stopped in front of them.

The herald declared, "We greet the Royal Majesty, King Luther Vance of Endoria and Queen Adela Vance of Endoria," as a group of male servants quickly rolled the long red rug onto the floor for them to walk on. As they approached, everyone started to applause.

His wife, who was shorter and had a sculpted feature that was twine-thin and a burnished complexion that shows she was well-cared for, had ebony hair that plunged over her shoulders, enticing sea green eyes, and a cute button nose. King Luther's sharp masculine features are followed by a protruding icy blue pair of eyes that could stop anyone from looking at him twice.

Following the departure of the carriage carrying the highness, another one was spotted.

"We welcome the royal Prince Eric Vance of Endoria," the herald announced as the trumpeter lift their trumpet to blow again, he had golden blonde hair that flowed down to his shoulder, and he was slim but still had visible muscular features, Zara found his lanky and bony leg funny, but admired how he still manages to walk gracefully, he had more of his father body features, they stopped a distance away from us before showing their respect as we did the same, except my father and King Edward who were just staring at each other with a weird smile on their faces.

"it a pleasure to grace our kingdom with your presence today, King Luther," my father said with a less welcoming tone that made Zara a bit confused.

"the pleasure is all mine, King George," King Luther replied behaving oblivious too.

"James," King George called the senior male servant.

"Yes, your highness," he responded, bowing his head low.

"Please have some servant escort and attend to them, in case they need to do anything before the party," the King ordered, as the servants bowed directing the Royals of Endoria to the royal guest Chamber.

"So..., How does he look?" Eugene, who was standing on the other side, started to giggle as Zara rolled her eyes in response to her mother's questions.

"Mom, that okay, we will talk about that later," she murmured, taking Eugene by the hand, and rushed out of there before the mother could ask any more questions.
