(12 years later)
A knock graces the door causing Corina and Clarissa to stir, but they don't get up. Opening the door gently and closing it softly, the servant girl walks over to their closet and pulls out two simple gowns. Walking over to the windows, the servant girl pulls the blinds back letting in the light from the morning sun.
"Morning your Graces," she says kindly clapping her hands together as the blankets slide off of them.
"Seraphine, always nice of you to wake us up with a dash of magic," says Corina sarcastically as she sits up in her bed.
"Yes much appreciated," groaned Clarissa, following her sister's lead and sitting up as well.
"But today is no ordinary day, your graces, no ordinary day indeed.." she adds trailing off as she walks over to their closet.
"Siyna, last two years Cori!" squealed Clarissa excitedly as she turned her attention to Corina.
A wide smile begins to grow on Corina's face as she fully takes in her sister's words. Both girls, then, rushed out of bed and went to the bathroom where Seraphine and another servant girl waited behind low stools. Walking into the bathroom, the girls take their seats. After their hair and subtle make-up was complete the girls were lead back into the room and brought over to paneled changing dividers. Once the dresses were on Seraphine and the other servant girl looked at each other and winked.
"Here it comes-OH!" said Clarissa as she held her gut.
"Why does it always have to be so tight, Seraphine?" asked Corina once her dress was tied.
"Well your graces, that is the make of the dresses, come now," she adds leading the two girls to a mirror, "Look at yourselves." Her voice was kind and adoring as the other servant girl joined her putting a hand on her shoulder and smiling at her.
Although the dresses were the almost the same color, they were both a different style. Corina wore: http://www.lightinthebox.com/a-line-strapless-court-train-satin-tulle-wedding-dress_p276309.html and Clarissa wore http://www.lightinthebox.com/sheath-column-sweetheart-court-train-chiffon-lace-wedding-dress_p518988.html. Pleased with their appearances, the girls hug Seraphine and the other servant girl. Heading out into the hallway, Seraphine and the other servant girl follow the twins to the winding staircase. As the group made their way down, the twins noticed their Grandmother's presence and straightened their backs. The twins Grandmother had noticed their small adjustment and let out a small giggle as the group reached the bottom of the stairs. Once the group had reached the Sovereign Xanthe, they bowed elegantly and the servant girls left out of the open door, leaving the twins to Sovereign Xanthe.
"My my, who would have thought that I would be graced with such beautiful granddaughters," she commented clasping her hands together as she walked towards them, a huge smile on her face. "I am extremely proud of the beautiful young women you have both become."
Leaning in, she brought the girls into a tight embrace, the girls hug her back gently, as they noticed the embellishments on her gown . Breaking the embrace, she steps back and scowls at them.

"Why are you both so careful around me?" she asked crossing her arms and eyebrows raised.
"Well," began Clarissa, "The dress seems so detailed and yeah I know it's silly but I don't think we wanted to ruin it."
"Aye that is the truth Grandmother, your gowns are quite filled with beading and embroidery... That also makes me wonder.. are you accompanying us to Siyna?" asked Corina, excitement hinting in her voice.
