Empress of the Northern Empire :
Y/n

The day had finally arrived. The whole palace was busy in preparation for the very important day.

Ever since you arrived, you did nothing but paperwork. It was rarely that you went out of the study room. Though, the only reason why you were able to get out was to chat with the citizens and listen to their needs and interests.

Sure it wasn't relaxing, but at least you were able to get a change of scenery every once in a while.

Heck, even Azule was busy as ever. After arriving back into your home land, Azule was rushed back to work to prepare for the coronation. You weren't able to even find him. Every time you tried searching for him, he was either out or busy with the decorations. In summary, Azule was a very busy man.

Did you miss him?... I'll let you decide. But back to our main story, today was especially busy. The streets were hustling and bustling. Excitement filled the air. Ladies squealing about the beautiful dresses they were going to wear at the after party, and gentlemen in the back, following their wives obediently while carrying boxes of accessories and such.

That's right, today was your day.

"Princess, the dress is here." Lady Rossetta called, bringing you back to reality. You walked over to the ladies in waiting, holding your dress out.

You shrugged off your robe as Lady Rossetta and the others began dressing you. You obediently stood, reciting the promise over and over again. You memorised it last minute last night with the help of Lady Rossetta, but you couldn't help but fear you would forget it in the middle of the ceremony.

That, would be embarrassing.

"You're going to do fine, you've memorised it like the back of your hand. Just take a deep breath," Lady Rossetta had noticed your discomfort and decided to reassure that you were going to be fine.

You nodded, taking her advice, breathing in and out slowly. Gradually, that nervousness went away. Though you currently felt calm and secure, there was still one thing that had been stuck in the back of your mind. You frowned.

"What is it now?" Lady Rossetta asked, noticing the expression you were making. By this time, the other ladies in waiting had already done their job and backed off, leaving only you and Lady Rossetta in the room.

"...can I ask?" you mumbled, cheeks flushed red in embarrassment.

The woman looked at you weirdly. "What kind of question is that? Of course you can ask! You're becoming empress for goodness sake," She replied.

"...where's Azule...?" you muttered hesitantly, cheeks reddened even more if it could. You looked away in embarrassment, not wanting to look at your head lady in waiting.

Though, you waited. You waited for her answer. "Pfft- Is that what you've been thinking of all week?" The said woman teased as she forced her laugh to a halt.

"Don't laugh at me! It's a genuine question!" you huffed, slightly pouting at her lack of answer.

"Don't get mad. Azule is at the hall, making sure everything is in place and all the guests are comfortable. Oh right! You haven't seen him since last week right? Ah don't worry, you'll see him when you walk down that aisle," Lady Rossetta waved off as she placed the tiara you remembered wearing a year ago.
