The night before Seollal is alive with whispers and excitement, as the announcement of the new crown prince and princess ripples through the night air. As I stand before the mirror, my reflection reveals a transformation that leaves me both breathless and proud.
My gown is a masterpiece: a purplish-bluish mermaid silhouette that clings to my figure, accentuating every curve. The fabric shimmers subtly under the soft lighting, creating a mesmerizing effect that shifts with each movement.
The gown flares out dramatically just below my knees into layers of ruffled waves, reminiscent of ocean tides, giving it an ethereal and dynamic quality. The cape sleeves cascade from my shoulders, adding an air of regal elegance, while the plunge neckline offers a bold and sophisticated touch, perfectly balanced between grace and allure.
Lenna's team has crafted an updo that is nothing short of spectacular. My hair is elegantly swept up into a style that combines intricate braids and delicate twists, each strand meticulously placed to create a harmonious and polished look. The updo is adorned with subtle, sparkling pins that catch the light, adding a touch of magic and refinement.
The jewelry completes the ensemble with dazzling perfection. A delicate necklace rests against my collarbone, its design intricate and feminine, with tiny gems that match the gown's hues.
The earrings are equally exquisite, long and elegant, drawing attention to my neck and adding a hint of drama to the overall look.
A bracelet encircles my wrist, its delicate chain and small charms moving gracefully with every gesture. The rings on my fingers sparkle with understated beauty, each piece chosen to enhance the gown without overwhelming it.
Standing there, I feel a blend of emotions: excitement, pride, and a touch of nervousness. The girl who once hid from the world is now ready to embrace her future.
As I wait for the time of the Coronation, the anticipation builds within me. None have seen my dress, and I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves as I imagine their reactions, especially Felix's. The thought of his gaze upon me fills me with a flutter of butterflies.
Suddenly, Sulya appears by my side. He gently rubs my shoulder, sensing my shiver. "How do you feel?" he asks, his voice a soothing balm.
"Nervous but excited too. You should know," I reply with a small smile.
He returns my smile, then takes a step back to examine me. "You look beautiful, but we need to add something."
As if on cue, Felix’s phoenix, Raiya, enters through the window in a burst of vibrant energy. She carries with her a bouquet of purple pansies. Having mastered the languages of the spirits, I easily understand her message: they are from Felix.
Sulya's smile broadens. "Just what we needed," he says, taking the pansies from Raiya. He expertly weaves a few flowers into my updo, their delicate petals adding a touch of nature's elegance to my hairstyle. Then, he adorns my gown with the remaining pansies, their rich purple hue contrasting beautifully with the fabric.
The addition of the pansies transforms my look, adding a romantic and personal touch that makes my heart swell. The flowers, a symbol of Felix’s love and thoughtfulness, make me feel even more connected to him in this moment.
"Perfect," Sulya says, stepping back to admire his work. "You look radiant."
"Thank you, Sulya," I say, feeling a surge of confidence and warmth.
"Good luck," he says before dissipating into the air. Just then, I hear a knock at the door. Lenna enters, her eyes widening as she takes in my appearance.
