Aphmau's dress is the one on the top!

                           
One normal morning,
Garroth and I was getting ready to go out when Dale came at our doors delivering a message from the neighboring villages of Meteli and Brightport.

"Thanks Dale."I said and he immediately left.

Garroth read the letter
It says:
"Dear Lord of Phoinex Drop,
I am Lord Azcofft of Meteli and I invite you to our feast.
Lord Burt of Brightport will also come.
It will be a sort of welcoming feast for you.
Be here on Thursday,5:00 PM ok?

                                       Respectfully,
                                             Lord Azcofft"

I gasp and jump around.
"OMI!!Uncle Azcofft!!! YAS!!!! Finally I will be able to see him!!"
Garroth titled his head.

"Lord Azcofft is my uncle.I last saw him when I was 10 and he is so flipping awesome!Although my father and he got into a fight when I was 14 but who cares!!!!"I scream.
"Easy Aphmau,easy,you don't want to wake up Brian."Garroth said."They just moved to the bigger house that's nearest to us,remember?"
"Of course I remember,silly.I'll just run around town for a bit ok?"

I was about to go outside the door when I saw Molly,Emma,Molly's friend, and Kiki.

They were holding a majestic and beautiful lilac dress and a lilac headpiece that matches the dress.
I gasped when Molly said.

"Aphmau,this is our thank you for letting us stay with you and for throwing the Late Baby Shower. We gathered all the most finest wool that we had from shearing 2 flocks of sheep and dyed them lilac,since it is your favorite color.Zoey also helped with making the flowers like that but she said that she would like you to meet her in the Plaza."

"M-Molly,Emma,Kiki,You don't have to do all of this."
"It's our pleasure."Kiki said.
"Plus I was once a seamstress."Emma replied.
"Emma,since your a seamstress I would like you to do a favor for me you too Kiki!"
I whisper something in their ears and they nodded in reply.

Then,I pull them all in for a group hug.
"Kikikikik!!"Kiki laughs and gives me the dress.
I walk inside the house to find a mouth-dropped Garroth.

"W-where did you get that stunning dress?!?"
"Molly and Company."I said smiling sweetly at Garroth.
"This is what I am going to wear on Thursday which is......TOMMOROW?!"

I put the dress in Garroth's arms and rush out the door to meet Zoey and continue the other Lordly stuff.

"Hey Zoe-*Gasps*."
"Nice,isn't it?"She said.

The plaza was decorated with tons of beautiful little lights that change colors from lilac to teal blue.

"It's my present for you and Garroth."
"What are those?!?"
"I call them Fairy Lights."
"Those are Wonder-Tactular!!!!"
"Huh?"
"Wonderful and Spectacular in 1 word."
"Oh,well I gotta make more lights."She says"And I hope you don't mind me occupying that stall in the corner."

"Sure! It's fine Zoey! Have a nice day!"
I continue on my duties and return home just about sunset.
I play with Thorgi,eat dinner then fall asleep on the couch waiting for Garroth.

I arrive home to find a sleeping Aphmau on the couch.I carry her to our room,bridal style.
I move her bangs away from her eyes and kiss her on the forehead.
"Goodnight,my love."I say.
I go down stairs,eat and fall asleep after that.

I woke up to the smell of French Toast and stawberries.
I eat breakfast alone since Garroth left early but he made breakfast,so that's good!

I hand my duties over to Dale and grab Garroth's  blue top from Emma and Kiki.
(Garroth's Top)

He wore the white pants that I made for him a few days after the incident and matching blue shoes that he borrowed from Dale

He looks cute!!!

We left the village at exactly 4:30 and arrived at Meteli on 4:50.

I searched for my uncle.
And when I saw him in the plaza near the forest he barely recognized me.
"Hello young lady! Are you the partner of The Lord of Phoinex Drop?"He said,
"You don't recognize me Uncle?"
"What's your name young lady?"
"Aphmau."
"A-Aphmau? No,impossible,they said that everything was burned to the ground."
"You and Dad,Lord Andy,had a fight when I was 14 and it was about a piece of farmland.Nobody else knows except for me because I was there the whole time and you didn't even see me until you finished fighting."
"Aphmau it is you!"

He engulfed me in a hug and I hugged him back.

"So where is The Lord of Phoinex Drop?"He asks and I giggle.
"Right in front of you."
"What the- wait,who's that?"He points to Garroth.

"Oh,Garroth,meet my uncle.Uncle, meet Garroth,my fiancé."
I wink at Garroth.
He winks back.

"What the Enki?!? You-Him what???" He starts running around in circles.
"Uncle,it's just a joke,calm down. Garroth is my Head guard and we built Phoinex Drop by scratch."

"Oh my Aphmau,next time you joke, don't do that.I almost had a heart attack.Tell me Aph, what happened over these years?"He asks me and we continued chatting with Garroth behind my back.

Lady Aphmau started chatting with his Uncle about stuff and I just follow them.
One hand is placed on the handle of my diamond sword and the other is in my pocket.

We started eating and chatting on the Noble's table.When I noticed a bow and arrow appear from the trees,and it was aiming right for Aphmau.

I tell Aphmau and she looks at the direction the bow and arrow came from.

But instead of hitting Aphmau, it hit Lord Azcofft.
Aphmau and I ran to his side.
Everyone started panicking,they ran out of the tables,guards were surrounding us.
I noticed that his blood was not red,it was black.

I told the healers it was some kind of poison that they get from plant extracts.
And the only cure is a flower called Ambrosia.

They apparently have 1 left in stock and used it to heal The Lord.
He immediately vomited black blood, food and water.

Aphmau was crying on my shoulder the whole time.
Her eyes were as red as tomatoes and she was trembling.
She begged me to go back to Phoinex Drop with her so I did.

We immediately went inside our house the moment we got back and Aphmau continued to cry there.

She cried so much that her dress got wet.She refused to eat French Toast and play with Thorgi.

I talked to her on the next day but it was no use,she still kept crying.

She stopped on the 3rd day and begged me to go away.

"Please Garroth,just go away!"
"Aphmau,listen to me I can't leave you alone because your my-"
"That's the thing!You would sacrifice your life for me and I don't want you to do that!"
"Why?"
"Because I-I-"
