The beat of the still heart[Completed]

50: Family

Lost in the fog of silent thoughts which had yet to echo and paint the full picture on her mind, Hana stared at the reflection of the woman who was soon to be announced as the mate to the heir of the emperor's throne. In a few hours, she would take upon the prestigious title of a crown princess of death valley leading her to become the most famous person of her generation and the next Lady Light.

A melodious voice floated on her head and along with the voice, Hana was drifting into distant memories she had lived and forgotten and maybe live again in the future.

"HANA! YOU LOOK GORGEOUS" Jassabella's voice snapped Hana back to full consciousness and with a beam on her face, she turned around on her revolving chair to greet her gorgeous-looking best friend in a sparkling ivory white gown with layered short sleeves.

"HINA" reciprocating the same level of excitement, Hana jumped up to give Jassabella a warm hug and the two best friends swung to and fro holding on to each other tight like it was the first time they met for the day.

"I know right, It was selected by Tenessia Eonnie, I can't wait to show the dress to Jimin" Jassabella chimed with a large grin.

"You must be missing him so much" detaching herself from Jassaebella's arm Hana spoke the obvious after all she was also missing her mate dearly.

"I am but it's nothing in comparison of..." Jassabella stopped in the middle feeling something strange. It was as if the conversation they were having had happened before and somehow they knew how it would end but couldn't remember the source that would end their conversation.

"What just happened?" Jassabella scratched her head attempting to pinpoint the beginning of the peculiar feeling.

"Deja Vu?" Hana murmured but before they could further analyze the eerie feeling the footsteps approaching them interrupted their conversation.

"Mother" in a flash the young boy who was spitting image of her mate, wrapped his arms around Hana's legs followed by her soon to be sister in law, Veronica Nova

"Arata" just like the smoke on the air, the strange feeling bothering them disappeared again from their minds and they began to indulge in the present.

"I might have to appoint staff to make sure my brothers-in-law won't drop down seeing their beautiful mates " Veronica complimented with utmost sincerity.

"I believe, your grace is saying this from experience. Is the Archon all fine?" with a playful smile Hana responded as she lifted up her soon-to-be son in her arms?

Unlike Hana, Verronica had gone with a gown that symbolized the family she came from as well as the family she was married to. The dark red gown embroidered with gold had a plunging neckline in v-shape with long full sleeves which were divided into three sections where the two parts were gathered at intersections fitting the arm and a full flare at the hem giving it a bell shape. The skirt of the gown had a split on the side and her long blond hair was the cherry on the top establishing Verronica as the fashion icon of the royal family.
