The two men walked towards them with elegance and sensuality.
Many could not believe their eyes.
The Royal siblings were indeed droolworthy.
Some nobles remembered how their daughters wished to marry into this family.
Some were more straightforward than others, but none succeed.
The former Crown Prince of Saldariagga was an ice block so was his brother.
But, everyone was surprised when one winter, they received the news.
After his coronation, King Xavier asked for the hand of the late queen, Eleonore.
The latter was the Duke of Lyons's daughter, the Prime Minister of Sladariagga.
Since her teens, she was widely known for her bright mind and soft temper.
Rumors had it that the King fell in love at first sight with her.
Many believed it since she was also known as the "fairy of Sladariagga".
Seeing their daughter for the first time in their life, they believed in the power of genes.
The rumored monster was comparable to a fairy.
The bewitching lady looked exactly like her late mother.
Indeed, she inherited her majestic aura from her parents.
She looked like a Greek goddess from the ancient myths.
Slowly, she also walked towards the Imperial family.
Her silver dress encrusted in diamonds reflected the lights.
She was shinning brighter than anyone.
Helios could not believe his eyes.
She was by far the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.
Her beauty was unmatched.
He never saw a woman 'full' like her.
In the Empire, people wished to stay fit or even skinny.
Women starved themselves to be 'beautiful' in the eyes of others.
The beauty standards were very harsh towards the rest.
But, she was breathtaking.
She looked a lot bigger than most of the people.
Her chest was almost in full display, and Helios could not avert his eyes.
Her arms had a little cushion on it, and her hips were fuller.
Everything was 'bigger' than the people from the Empire.
She was taller and fuller.
Nevertheless, she was marvelous.
Suddenly, she was in front of him.
Eyes emptied of any emotion.
However, they seemed a little bit reddish.
Helios wanted to ask her if something was wrong but was cut short by his father.
The two rulers friendly embraced while his mother and the Duke of Kaspian started an amical conversation.
After some talk, his Father finally turned towards the younger woman.
Instantly, his eyes light up at the view of her graceful appearance.
He seemed very happy with his choice.
"Selena, it has been a while since I last saw you. You are as beautiful as your late mother. "
The latter slowly looked directly at the Emperor.
Her eyes suddenly brightened up with the chandelier's lights.
All of a sudden, her sweet voice echoed all around the room.
"I sincerely thanked His Highness. Indeed, it has been a while."
"How long has it been, my beautiful girl?" giggled the Empress.
"It has been thirteen years since the last time I saw you, Empress."
"Don't be so formal with me! We know each other well, after all."
"Indeed."
Helios was baffled; his parents were friendly towards this stranger.
However, as time passed, she seemed to be familiar to him.
Golden hair, blue eyes, he seemed to have met her before.
Abruptly, Helios took her hand.
At first, she was surprised.
But, she quietly looked him in the eyes.
"Lena?"
"Long time no see, Lio."
Memories can be held dearly and forgotten easily.
