Memories of Edenia

Welcoming Ceremony

After hanging out with Tital all day I finally head back to the estate. The walk is calm and peaceful but I'm left with my own thoughts.

My mother once told me if I was ever alone to know I always had my thoughts to keep me company. But that's what scares me the most. Being alone with my own thoughts.

I follow the path and then reach the cut off to the meadow. I hear a small giggle followed with a "Stop.."

It her her squeaky voice. Rosemary.

I know it's not right to snoop but I was just intrigued. I follow the path down to the meadow. The trees create a tunnel around me. As soon as I see the clearing I slow down. I duck behind one of the trees at very edge of the tunnel and slightly peek my head around it.

It is Rosemary but not Silas. Rosemarys lying on the ground her hair sprawled every direction and her dress bunched up to her hips. A man with short messy black hair and his tunic off Is laying over top of her with hands bracing the ground around her.

I see him kiss Rosemarys neck few times and she giggles in reply. He starts to take his belt of and I quickly look away pressing my back on to the tree. Gasping.

That is definitely not Silas. But who the heck is he. I wanted to take a closer look but didn't dare looking back into the meadow of fear of what I'd see.

I started to run back through the tunnel. What had I just seen. Rosemary is clearly cheating but with who? My entire walk back I debated who it could be and if I should tell anyone. Then it hit me.

The welcoming ceremony! Were supposed to be welcoming her into the kingdom tonight. No I definitely have to tell someone.

A million thoughts swarmed through my head like misquotes on a cold night camping. Why is she with the prince when she's cheating? Is she using him for her title? I shouldn't tell someone.

I ran up the stairs to the front door and run inside up the Enzos room. God why is he never home. It's fine I'll just talk to him at the ceremony.

I began to get ready. Since living with the Parcis my wardrobe has increased immensely.

I look into my closet and find a sleek black dress that puffs out at the bottom and sits above my knees slightly. The back is cut into a V shape and is open with lace. While the front is off the shoulder with long sleeves.
One of my favourites.

I grab my cloke and put it on as well but this time I get the one that's white with lace. I go downstairs to where Enzos parents are waiting for me. They inform me that Enzo is already there.

We leave the house and get into the carriage the royals sent over for us. As we arrive at the palace I gaze in awe. Sometimes I forget how beautiful it is at night when it's all lit up and the arches are highlighted by the star light. Enzos father steps outside the carriage and helps Clarina, Enzos mom, and me down. He then links his arm with hers and we walk into the palace.

When we reach the ceremony room two guards open the doors for us and we walk in. I immediately see Enzo standing near Tital and smile and walk over to them.

"Well don't you look stunning" Enzo says as I come over and twirl.
"Well thank you, you both look as handsome as ever" I reply smiling

They both blush a little.

"I think someone else is noticing you too" Tital looks down at me and points across the room.

I look to where he pointed to see a man who is staring directly at me but quickly looks away when I see. He's standing next to a very tall man who is about his height but suddenly looks very familiar.
