The Hidden Ruler (lokixreader)

Chapter 14

   You're sleeping soundly until a voice interrupts your dreams.

Heeeey y/n...

The voice is sing-songy and is almost at a whisper.

Yyyyyy/nnnnnn....don't you think it's time to get up?

You groan and turn over still not knowing where the voice is coming from in your dream.

Fine. Do what you want.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After that you sleep again, dreamless, for another hour.

"Y/N!" You wake up to loud pounding on your door and a very angry voice. "Y/N! WAKE UP! We're already an hour behind!" You spring to life and run to the door, you open it to find Emily on the other side. "By the nine, finally! How did you sleep in so late?!" She looked you up and down her eyes frantic. "Never mind! Just get ready and come to my room for your fitting. And hurry!" After that she ran down the hall not saying another word.

You stood there for a moment completely stunned until you shook your head. 'Right. The coronation. Three days. I slept in.' You walked over to your closet and as you got ready you thought to yourself, you never sleep in. You're so used to having to wake up with the sun to begin working that you can't remember the last time you slept in. How odd-wait! 'That voice i heard it in my dream...what did it say?...didn't it tell me to get up? Huh, weird.' You decided to shake it off but it still bothered you. When you finally got to your sister's room she was running around about a million different types of fabric and kept holding up jewelry to them. As a dazed and little bit annoyed, older lady stood in her midst.

"Ah! Finally your here." Your sister ran over to you and practically pushed you towards the fabrics and grey-haired lady.

She curtsied and put on a smile. "Your highness."
'Yup. That's still weird.' You bowed your head saying good morning. "I'm lady Eira. I'm here to make your dress for the ceremony."

Before you could say anything your sister piped in. "Yes, Yes, Yes. I love you Eira, but my sister." She shot you a glare. "Is very late and I would like to get moving."

Eira nodded and took your shoulder, Emily following close behind. She lead you to an array of patterns all in different shades of blue, yellow and white (your family's colors, of course you've always hated them.) But you couldn't deny the designs were beautiful; this old lady was talented.

"Unfortunately your highness due to the deadline I cannot make your dress from scratch; but I have many, ready made dresses that I can tailor to your liking." She was short and had to look up at you.

You smiled. "Of course, I completely understand."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   After about two hours you and your sister had settled on a dress; it had long, open, see-through, white, floral, sleeves. The top was mainly a corset consisting of a blue background and golden, yellow pattering, and the bottom was a beautiful white silk that flowed just a little past your ankles; with the same floral pattern at the bottom. The three of you had also started looking at designs for your wedding dress which left you feeling very...well...depressed.

It was currently 11:00 and time to go outside to where the ceremony would be held and pick out the decorations, which you could literally care less about and your sister went to the kitchens to sort out the food. You walked through the servent filled halls—they were all busy cleaning and getting the palace ready for guests—and you headed outside.
