For has long has Azalea have remembered the palace has never been this loud not even when they have special guests coming to the palace.
From the very moment she opened her eyes, she could hear footsteps rushing through the corridors, servants moving around calling to one another and the occasional sounds of furnitures being moved from the grand hall.
The coming of Age ceremony was only three days away she will be 21.
And apparently the entire kingdom had decided it meant chaos
From trying out dresses to make overs from makeovers to various sort of things, it had to be perfect.
Azalea pulled the blanket over her head
"I hate all of it already."
A soft laugh came From her walk-in closet
"You haven't even gotten out of bed"
Azalea lowered the blanket and found Laura her cousin standing beside the curtains, pulling them open.
Sunlight flooded the room
"And I'm already wasted Laura I'm tired"
Laura looked at her while shaking her head
"You know most princesses will be very happy about Thier coming of age ceremony "
"I'm not most princesses I bet you were very happy during yours "
"Oh I was very happy "
"How can I be happy after what father said"
She said sadly
"Don't let it ruin your day there will be many handsome princes at the ceremony I heard he will be there "
Laura said looking at her cousin with smirk
Azalea sat up staring at the dressmakers' boxes scattered across her room.
Three days.
Three days until when the entire kingdom and everyone invited will celebrate with her becoming an adult.
She was not afraid of becoming an adult but of what came with her becoming an adult.
Marriage.
The word sounded very heavy with just thinking about it
She had to tell Deon
Maybe it will change something just maybe
"I don't want this"
She said covering her face with her duvet looking devastated.
"It will get better" Laura assured hugging her cousin.
"A step at a time" she added assuring her.
