The dreadful day has arrived for you. The prince you have adored is officially marrying someone else today—none other than Lady Araxie Dubois, the beautiful woman you serve, who is known as the golden swan and the flower of the nobility.

Hate to say it, but they are a perfect match, like two puzzle pieces completing each other, two suns shining equally bright. Their wedding is held at St. Lucas Chapel within the Aerindale palace grounds, the traditional venue for royal weddings. The event is attended by all the nobles and the kings and queens from neighboring kingdoms that have bilateral relations with Aerindale.

Every seat in the chapel is filled. As the personal maid of the bride, you are seated right behind the Duke and Duchess Dubois. You will witness the wedding from a strategic location, close to the altar. The ceremony proceeds solemnly until the bride, Lady Araxie Dubois, enters the chapel and walks towards the altar where Crown Prince Alaric awaits. Several young cousins of Prince Alaric walk behind Lady Araxie, helping to lift the train of her wedding dress.

Soon, Alaric, the man you have secretly loved for eight years, will officially become someone's husband. He looks incredibly handsome in his suit, his posture perfect as he waits for his bride—completely unaware of the turmoil in your heart as you watch your love being taken from you forever.
