Chapter Forty Five

As the queen's announcement echoed through the grand hall, a wave of excitement and anticipation filled the air. The guests erupted into applause and cheers, celebrating the union of Rueben and myself. It was a moment I had dreamed of, a moment that would shape the future of our kingdom.

After the formalities, the queen decided to throw an extravagant after-party to continue the celebration. The hall was transformed into a dazzling dance floor, with music filling every corner. The guests danced and revealed in the joyous atmosphere, their laughter and applause echoing through the night.

As the night wore on, the exhaustion from the day's events began to take its toll on me. The constant dancing and socializing had drained my energy, and I yearned for a moment of solitude. Excusing myself from the crowd, I made my way towards the palace garden, seeking respite in the serene beauty of nature.

The moon cast a soft glow over the garden, illuminating the vibrant flowers and lush greenery.
