CHAPTER 24&25: RISE OF THE BEAST.
★ ★ ★ ★
The morning sun appeared, and Theodora still laid on her bed asleep.
The entire palace has been a lot busy since 5 o’clock, as everyone were decorating and dressing the palace for the coronation.
The palace gate was shut close, it will be opened at the rightful time for every one to witness Prince Kaleb’s wedding.
Theodora hasn’t made a sign of waking up. At first Holland tried not to disturb her, but it’s almost to eight, yet she isn’t awake.
Holland checked her chest to see if she was still breathing. She noticed the rise and fall of her chest which gave her hope that she wasn’t dead yet.
She tapped her. “My Lady.” She called with another tap. “My Lady.”
Theodora exhaled, slowly opening her eyes. “What?” She mumbled.
“It’s almost time, My Lady.” Holland informed.
“Time?” She asked, yawning tiredly. “For what?”
“Today is the day you will be wedded to Prince Kaleb. It’s also your coronation day, remember? ”
Theodora grunted. “I still need some sleep. Wake me up in the next one hour.”
She almost laid on the bed when Holland tried stopping her. “But My L…”
“In the next thirty minutes. I think that will be better. “She rested her head on the pillow, then a knock came on the door.
” Tell whosoever it is that I am asleep.” She instructed.
Holland went to the door to do as she was told. She opened the door to see the chief maid.
“She said she needs some rest.” Holland whispered.
The young woman flew her gaze open, casting a glare on the sleepy lady on the bed.
“And you listened to her?” She questioned.
“She will be crowned queen in the next few hours, wh@ťěver she says, I will do. ” Holland spoke.
” And the only way for her to become the queen is to get ready for it. Sleeping won’t solve anything. His highness is probably getting ready and will very soon request for his bride.
We can’t just tell him that she requested for an extra hour to sleep. And you’re quite aware he won’t be happy to see her in this manner. “She said in a whisper.
“I don’t know what to do. “Holland said, fearfully.
” Don’t worry, I will do the talking. Let me in. ” Holland opened the door wider for her to walk in.
“Good morning, My Lady.” Greeted the young woman.
“Holland, what did I tell you to do?” She grunted still with her eyes closed.
“I… I..” she stammered.
The woman cuts in. “She did tell me what you said. Miss, the coronation will be in the next one hour and every arrangements are almost done with. His highness is almost done with his preparation, and he won’t be pleased to see that you are still dressed on this.
I will order Holland to get your shower ready while I send in some other maids to help you with the decorations and other things you will need. ”
Theodora opened her eyes, sitting on the bed. “Fine. ”
” Okay. Holland, get the shower ready, I’ll be back soon.”
Holland bowed her head, heading to the bathroom.
The chief maid had gone to call in some other maids who would help in decorating her.
Theodora knew she had wasted so much time, she decided not to waste another in the shower.
As she left the bathroom covered in her white towel, she watched as the maids decorated her dress.
It was a silver lace gown with shinning stones on every sides which had a round flay ends that swept the ground.
On the mirror desk were different kinds of make up kits and creams for both skin, hair and her face.
Holland looked at her, “Your dress is ready.”
They took the gown out of the dummy stand, checking it on her. They saw that it as perfect, and they made her wear it on her body.
She sat on the stool before the mirror, her eyes shut close as they went ahead with the make-up.
Some were busy on her face, while the others on her hair, dressing it in a bridal style with some golden beads and hair clips on her hair.
After they were done with this, they asked her to open her eyes.
Theodora glared at herself at the mirror like it was her first time staring at her image.
If she hadn’t know how she looks like, she wouldn’t have recognize herself. She looked totally different from her natural appearance.
She stared down at her gown, it was the day she would finally get married to him… Her very enemy.
“I’m ready.” She said, confidently but scared.
You would wonder why she was scared. It was supposed to be her day of happiness. A moment she would live to gain all she wanted, even the king’s trust.
But no, she was d@mn so scared to the bones. Her joints were like they had separated from each other.
Her conscience kept ringing songs of alarms in her head, like she was gonna die now at the moment.
What if..? What if the beast rises while the ceremony goes on? Does it mean, this day would be her last??
While she walked out of her room, then the ceremony had began. Prince Kaleb stood before the alter, patiently waiting for his bride to show up.
Holland was ahead of them. She had gone to inform the guards that she was on her way which one of the guards went to inform Kaleb.
The door opened, and every eyes turned to her. Theodora wished the ground would open in halves and eat her up.
Her heart was beating so fast, her breath would cause an earthquake if not controlled.
And she doesn’t know why she was scared. If it was because of the beast rising unexpectedly or, the fact that every single soul in the hall were staring at her.
