The Spanish Queen

V

July 3, 1561

After 3 short weeks of preparations, it was time. Aurora was to marry Louis today. She hadn't talked to him much after he gave her the necklace. She ordered the ring to arrive today, hopefully it won't be delayed. Louis and her had a couple picnics, walks, and dinners together. He seemed sweet, the pair haven't had any deep conversations, only formal talk.

As the young queen stared off to the gardens through her window, a ladies maid who was doing her hair interrupted her thoughts, "I understand you're nervous, correct? To be so young and have so much pressure on your shoulders." The older woman has always been so sweet with her.

She has taken care of her since the girl was born. She is the bastard sister of her father. Which technically makes the woman her aunt. Nonetheless she's always been a second mother to the girl. "Yes, but it is something every young monarch has to do. I do this for my people and nation." After a quiet pause she spoke again, "Well at least now you won't have to obey every order your mother gives you" they chuckled together. She always found a way to make the queen smile. "Adelise? Will you do me an honour and stay with me in France? I understand you have a duty to my mother but.." the older lady looked at her queen with sadness, she could never imagine making her daughter marry someone at such a young age. "I have a service to the Queen of Spain, and my dear, that is a title you rightfully and respectfully hold.. Although I may be out of line, would you ever think about taking one of my daughters as your lady-in-waiting?" The young monarch smiled brightly, something she could finally have power over, "of course Adelise, it would be my pleasure."

The queen slipped on a beautiful white gown. The dress itself overwhelmed her immensely, but she walked out into the hallway. She was then guided in front of two enormous dark doors, she took a deep breath as muffles of the classical music played through out the palace. She walked through with her head held high and walked towards a man she barely even knew. She told herself everything happens for a reason, soon the english throne should be hers. After countless thoughts, Louis and Aurora kissed, the ceremony was finally over. The kiss lasted for a couple of seconds, for some reason she didn't want to let go. There were loud cheers from all over the castle.

The ceremony itself wasn't too long. The young couple had their first dance, talked with many noblemen and other royals who attended. Their marriage was something so many countries did not want to miss. Louis was a good dancer, she'd have to admit. After one too many glasses of wine he couldn't find a place or time to stop kissing her. At first she thought it was cute, but after a while grew annoyed. The sun had gone down, the feast had ended, and now it was the time she dreaded the most. The consummation.

A couple of ladies maids got her ready, her hair was let down. Her beautiful wedding dress was swapped with a white sleeping gown, it had flowers stitching all around the waist area. Once she was dressed all the staff members, the royal family, and some of the noblemen created a passage that she would walk through. Upon entering the room she saw a bishop, a couple of higher noble men, her mother and her ladies maids. She looked around nervously, before she got lost in her thoughts Louis cupped her face and turned to her, "Don't worry they'll leave soon.. Just look at me and you won't even notice them there.. Okay?" he smiled at her and she smiled back.

Louis laid me down and kissed me, I felt a surge of discomfort. I had my eyes shut trying to distribute the pain, soon it wasn't painful anymore. More weight was lifted off my shoulders when the people were walking out.
