496 Grand Wedding(Part Four) The banquet hall was decorated with an array of yellows, dark brown, crimson, black, and white. The centerpieces were a variety of yellow chrysanthemums wrapped with crimson bows, and placed in a vase that looked like it had been hand-carved from chocolate-colored wood. Every decoration complimented the next, and when the bride and groom walked in; it was an elegantly picturesque scene to behold. Several guests commented that they looked like an ideal couple, and matched…-

495 Grand Wedding(Part Three) Lawrence couldn’t believe how beautiful Shasta looked as she walked towards him. She looked frazzled at first, but as soon as they locked eyes, her smile lit up the room. His heart hammered in his chest like a teenager again as she slipped her delicate hand into his.. “Beautiful,” Lawrence muttered as she placed her hand in his, and went up the couple of steps to stand in front of the alter with him. The officiant was older, and not a fan of Fae/human marriages.…

494 Grand Wedding(Part Two) Skye had rushed down the hall with her mother to find Maevis, Marie, Renee, Kari, Peggy, and Zas’ daughter Mary in Shasta’s room. They were all fussing over how beautiful she looked in her wedding dress while Shasta was having her brushed out by Peggy. As soon as her eyes fell on Skye, a pleading expression overtook her features. With a small wink, Skye cut through the overlapping voices filling the room; “Alrighty, give the bride a wee bit of breathin’ space,…

493 Grand Wedding(Part One) Tidas didn’t get a good feeling from his brother’s happy expression. An unknown instinct was screaming at him, but he couldn’t understand what it was trying to tell him. All he could do was be cautious, and keep an eye on his movements through the Fae spies. Maevis and Nicolas trusted Marco the least out of all the humans they’d met. While Skye and Tidas were away in the Highlands, he had disappeared too many times on the Brownie spies assigned to him. This let…

492 The Heirloom Skye practically ran down the halls in her rush to get to her quarters. She had seen Peggy lay out her Maid of Honor dress on the couch, and knew that the shoes she wanted to wear were the only thing of hers left in the closet. As she rushed, it was strange to think that she and Tidas would no longer be living in the palace when they returned.. “Skye dear?! It is you! We’ve just come from your room. Where were you?” Lidia Drummond yelled from down the hall, recognizing her…

491 Because He Loves You ***CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE*** The night went on much longer than anyone had planned, making Peggy’s job of waking Skye and Tidas up in the morning much more difficult. They had been pushing themselves the past several days to tie up any loose ends before they had to leave for Sai. Skye would deny it because of her Shaman trait, but Peggy could tell that she was ready to drop. Tidas was more obvious with his exhaustion since he couldn’t mask it like his wife could.…

490 Finally! Some Fun The party turned stagnant after Marco had arrived. The harsh comments about Shasta spiked with the Crowned Prince there to excuse their behavior. Magnus shot a few dirty looks their way whenever they got too loud, but he didn’t do anything other than that. Skye wanted to go say something to them all, but Tidas stopped her. He advised that if his father wasn’t going to do anything about it, then Marco could play it off as her over-stepping her rank. With his unbelievable…

489 Toasts And An Argument ***CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE*** The evening was meant to be fun and relaxing, but Skye didn’t think that would be possible about fifteen minutes after she’d entered the room. The diplomats and nobles swarmed her in an effort to convince her to come and visit their kingdom or territory after her trip to Sai was over. She tried to be polite, but was about to lose her cool when a high-ranking merchant from Ital brushed up against her arse on purpose. Skye turned and…

488 Rehearsal Ready Tidas was exhausted when he’d gotten out of bed the day before his brother’s wedding. He noticed that Skye had tossed and turned a bit as she’d slept as well, but he couldn’t tell if it was due to his restlessness, or something else. The chance to ask her was lost on account of Peggy’s insistence to start their day. It was their last chance to go over everything that they were bringing to Sai, and Peggy had a bunch of things to pack up from their room. Anything personal…

487 The Box Of Memories Skye and Tidas didn’t stay up longer than an hour or so, once they had reached their room. Each had quite a bit to drink at dinner, and Tidas in particular was exhausted from the day. After he’d left with Zas, Tidas wound up using a combination of Zazzy, and his trait to run to a few of the towns south from the capital. It was usually a few day’s ride, but Tidas had made it in just a few hours thanks to Zazzy. The few soldiers he had riding with him freaked out at first,…
