The welcoming ceremony was finally underway. A vibrant stream of guests began flocking onto the palace grounds, their attire dazzling in the evening light, and were being ushered toward the grand hall. Security was noticeably tight, teams of guards worked with silent discipline, ensuring that no suspicious person could gain entry to the prestigious event.
In the privacy of her royal chamber, Amelie was impeccably prepared. Ashna had just completed the final touches on her makeup and hair, ensuring she looked the most beautiful lady. Amelie held Noah securely in her arms, cradling the baby close, when the door opened and Gabriel strode in.
"Amelie, are you ready?" Gabriel asked, his voice ringing with a palpable sense of excitement that was flashing brightly in his eyes. He gazed at Noah, who was looked calm.
Ashna offered a polite curtsy and quietly excused herself, leaving Gabriel and Amelie to their private moment.
