A Princess and Her Knight (Gency)

Chapter Ten

A pounding knock came to the door early that morning before streams of maids filed through. They lifted their skirts off the ground as they walked, the heads bowed to the floor. Within several moments, two sides of the room were fully lined by maids.

Simultaneously, they all looked up and monotonously spoke the same word, as if they were programmed and automated. "Good morning, Miss. You must get ready for your wedding."

Angela moved back on the bed, her eyes widening. Already? Wasn't this a little soon? Not only that, but after what had happened to her the night before, made her terrified of marrying the insidious king.

Before she could do much, hands were about her, latching onto her wherever. She gasped. Their hands were oddly cold, little warmth coming from them.

She was thrust into the middle of a circle of maids and the bed sheet that she held close to her was yanked from her, exposing her nearly nude form. All she had left on was a pair of tattered undergarments.
The maids discarded them against her pleas to leave her the only bit of clothing she had left, and continued with their plan, or more of, programming.
They replaced what was once there with new, a new lacy, white bra and matching knickers. Not only that, but she was given a pair of white stockings with a garder belt to wear.
The blonde woman supposed that the change was good, afterall, they were clean.
Before she had too long to think, a white dress was thrown upon her.

It fit, to her astonishment. She was only so surprised and gobsmacked due to the fact that it fit perfectly. She hadn't attended any fittings, so why was it that it framed her form so correctly and free from error?

Angela shook her head. She didn't have time go worry about that. She had to come up with a plan to escape. She no longer wanted to marry for peace. What Gabriel had done the night before absolutely traumatized her. She wasn't ready for what had happened.

As the group of maids that had dressed her backed away, a different group moved and advanced on her.
They held things like hair brushes, combs, curling irons, and other hair-related products.
They came at her, tugging and pulling, curling and spraying. They also had put a small hair piece in her hair and gave her a pair of earrings to wear before they backed up.

The next group of maids came, replacing the hairstylists. This group held makeup brushes, eyeshadow, lipsticks, mascara, eyeliner, highlighter, contour, and other cosmetic items.

They attacked her face with primer and then foundation, followed by some highlights and contour to help define the shape of her face. A little bit of blush was added to her cheeks. Her eyes were the next canvas that the maids wanted to paint on. They started with eyeshadow, using variants of blues and blue-greens.
The maids then applied eyeliner in a winged formation before using mascara on lashes, adding volume to them.

Then the onslaught stopped.

All of the maids left abruptly, one by one out the door.
There was nothing left behind besides a pair of white heels, obviously meant for her to wear with the dress.
With a big sigh, she slipped her feet into them.

"Genji..." Her thoughts trailed to the knight that she wished could hold her. She wished for him to come and take her away. "Please come.."

He looked at himself in the mirror with a sigh.
He wore a suit-like vest with a green tie, his overcoat draped over his shoulders.

Along with the apparel, he wore a black mask without his usually cybernetic mask.
He also had white gloves that went on his hands.
There was something he couldn't do. Which was have anything that would give away his identity be apparent.

However much this would hurt him, he had to go and see her one last time. She'd be married to a tyrant and she wouldn't be able to see her again after this.
Well maybe he'd catch a glimpse or two in the corridors, but that would be it.
He had decided he would join the ranks of the Reyes kingdom to stay as close as possible to her....
His angel.
"Angela... My heart aches to see your beauty once again..."

All too soon, another one of the maids who lacked emotion came through the door and began to drag Angela by the wrist.
She led her down a hallway that seemed to stretch on forever before they turned and pushed open a door.

Light filtered into the hallways, nearly blinding Angela. The maid didn't react at all and instead kept leading her outside.

There was a white curtain in front of her and she could her classical music. Below her feet was a dark red carpet that seemed to lead past the sheet in front of her.

She gulped.

And so it begins...

Okay so I posted again this month.
Hallelujah to you readers.
Anyways, it was cut short once again to get it posted and to have a decent place to end the chapter.
Thank you all so much for reading.

Anyone wanna make some fanart for the story? I'm sure that would give me some motivation to continue this story :)

I love you all so much.
