FAKING ROYALTY [l.zvhal]

chapter thirteen

"Where is she?"

"If we don't fine her, Hayden is going to be mad."

"I can't get fired! I have a family!"

The frantic comments coming from the outsude of the library are louder than they need to be. It's getting to the point where I'm going to pop my head out of the double doors and ask then to quiet their words to a whisper.

In fact, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

I place my book down on the little end table next to my chair by the fireplace. I walk towards the door, and I open it just enough for my head to be able to show.

"What's all the commotion about?" I ask.

A maid, that I learned is named Eleanor, sweat drops at the sight of me.

"Your highness!" Eleanor smiles. "There you are! We've been looking everywhere for you," She ushers me out of the library, completely forgetting about the book, and soon enough I'm being shoved down the hall ways. "We have much to do. It's a big day after all. We can't have Prince Leonardo waiting long, now shall we?"

"What are you talking about? Today is Alex's wedding, not mine."

"You have the days mixed up," she confirms. "Alex's wedding is tomorrow. Not yours. Yours is today!"

I did say before that the weddings were quickly rushed. With the baby, and Hayden not wanting to have the kingdoms know until after the wedding, he quickly rushed both weddings before any baby bumps begin to form.

As of Laurance's wedding, his will remain on the same date. As in, a few months from now.

"Oh," I say with a blank face. "Thank you for telling me."

She brings me into my room, and Eleanor tells me that I have a special visitor. Although, she perfered not to call the person a visitor, in fact, more like a friend. Except, I don't know who she could possibly be talking about. A friend from the village? It couldn't possibly be because that would mean my secret would've been leaked into the village. I highly doubt that because of how much of a secret he is keeping though.

"Y/N, long time no see!" I look forward to seeing a smiling Taryn. "It looks like I'll be your main stylist."

I nod my head awkwardly with wide eyes. First I find out that I forget when my wedding date is, and one of the first people to actually accept my in this palace is my wedding stylist.

She begins to do my hair, and other maids do my makeup. I've noticed how different weddings we would have in the village, even if I go to many, are to royal weddings. Villagers line up from the kingdoms, even some from other kingdoms, to watch the wedding. Then there's always the other royal families that come to watch the wedding.

Royal weddings are elegant, and a generous amount is placed into them, and then they show off the new royally wedded couple off.

Village weddings are small, and they are simple. They have people play instruments, and they dance around in there best clothes. They can use handy downs, or even make their own wedding dress. It's not like a royal wedding.

They only thing a royal wedding and a village wedding have in common is the fact people are getting married. Saying that they're marrying for love isn't always the case.

"Time for you to get dressed," Taryn mentions, and I'm lifted from my chair. "Then when you're done, we'll prepare you with your tiara and everything you need for the wedding."

Taryn leaves, and the maids begin to undress and dress me into my wedding gown.

I look down to see my dress is full of lace, and is slighy puffy and frilly. It's a normally wedding dress, but it is beautiful.
