Chapter 356 – Her Husband – I
This time even before Zara entered the room or the alarm clock rang, Adaline was up and about for the day.
"Well, well, well," Mrs. Brawn spoke with her eyes narrowed as she entered the room and found Adaline already up. "Someone looks very excited."
"Someone feels very excited as well!" Adeline gushed, her smile almost hurting now. "I feel like there is no end to my happiness at the moment. Can that be true?" A small shadow of doubt appeared in her mind. "I mean all I can see is endless and endless happiness and I think that\'s something bad—"
The sudden hold of her shoulders made her halt. Mrs. Brawn stared at her pointedly before saying, "if you see endless happiness and that is what you will manifest. Don\'t think about something that will dampen your smile." she even patted her cheek and winked at the end.
Was it just her or had something changed in Mrs. Brawn overnight?
Shaking the thoughts away from her, her face brightened when her aunt squealed. "You\'re getting married!"
Adeline squealed right back and hugged her aunt.
"Um," Mrs. Brawn cleared her throat, "it\'s a mating ceremony—"
"Hush!" Teresa snapped at her before returning to her niece with a huge smile. "I can\'t believe it!"
"I know!"
Jenna and Korr entered the room and even they could not hid the smiles they had on their face. Once Jenna had a full-blown smile on her face.
"What do you guys want to do?" Korr asked as he stood with his mother. "We can get ready here if you want or the palace."
"The palace would be better," Jenna added from her side, "your dress is quite puffy. Being shoved in the car for long might crease it right before the ceremony."
Adeline made up her mind almost immediately. The dress screamed the word her work. So many hours must have been put into it along with the people at work and she did not have the heart to even crease it, much less spoil it.
But the Quill mansion was home to her.
It was not the same house where she lived with her father and her mother but her uncle and aunt had replaced the parental figures to some extent and she did not have the heart to leave the house.
"Can I wear the dress at the Palace?" She suggested instead.
"Why?" Jenna asked suggested instead of answering.
"Why?" Jenna\'s smile dimmed slightly. "We could all get ready at once instead of installments."
Adeline tsked, "I didn\'t mean—"
"Sir," Javis knocked on the door, "a moment of your time?"
Koor gave them all a small smile in apology before following the butler outside. Moments later, he came in and he sighed before announcing, "Change in plans, ladies. We have to use the portal."
"Portal?" Adeline muttered under her breath. "But why?"
"Yes," Jenna let her thought be known to all. "Why do we have to use the portal?"
"I do not know mother," Korr sighed in exhaustion even though the day had barely begun. "Why dont you take it up with the king?"
Xavier ordered it? But why?
"We dont have time," korr reminded them when no one spoke up. "I have a place to stay as well." And just like that, her uncle left the room.
No one knew why the king did it and Adeline was not going to ask around. So what if he asked them to go into another world or realm or something?
It was his day too and he could decide what he wanted as well. Even though she would have preferred if he told her about it a little.
******
Traveling through the portal made her dizzy once more and when she saw her aunt vomit, she joined in.
From a distance, she heard someone vomit too. Well, glad to know she helped someone else.
The cars were already waiting for them but Adaline was too dizzy in the head to look outside from the moving car. Xavier had once said that over time, it would be easier for her to travel through the portal but he could not be more wrong.
Her uncle helped her into the house and she tried to walk as straight as possible before finally throwing herself on the couch.
"Ugh," Tessa landed beside her, "Why do people do this? Like, stay on your goddamn planet!"
"Realm," Korr corrected, standing in front of them. With his hands folded in front of his chest and he shook his head, "We do not enough time. Perhaps you might want to get ready now?"
"Shit," tessa moaned as she hauled her body up, "Thats right. Er have to get you ready before schedule!"
And so it began.
From the nail polish on her toe anils to the hair, everything was done professionally and beautifully. No tug came on her hair nor did anyone touch her unnecessary. It was like they knew who she was, and she was the queen.
But only one question remained; why was her dress white?
Instead of asking anyone that, she took the sight in front of her in. the trail ran over for two arm lengths, long but enough. Puffy but less then what the shifter tailors made. It had flower detail on the net material as the last cloth which covered last of the georgette skirts. The neck was off shoulder but the sleeves came down to her elbows.
The low bun with small streak of curled hair and the almost to none make made it all seem like she was princess.
"Wait," Adaline finally caught her bearings and turned around, only to halt.
Her aunt was standing next to the window that she coukld recginse from anywhere!
"Is.." she gulped and blinked the tears away, "is..is it what i am thinking?"
Tessa nodded and a small whimper escaped her but she smiled at the end of it. "I have to give it to him." she laughed, "he outdid himself."
He did, Adaline agreed.. He did.
