Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 148

One week is not too long to wait. Three days before the wedding day between Ray and Lia, the entire royal family from Dream Land moved to the Winter Region for the ceremony.

The flow  today is Prince James and his fiancee, Princess Ella will be tight the knot first in the specially built open air wedding venue, outside the palace on the right. And after they are finished, it’s time for Prince Ray and Princess Lia make their lifetime agreement as the next husband and wife in also a specially built outdoor wedding venue located outside the palace on the left.

This open space is specially designed so that their people can witness for themselves as the princes and princess utter a pledge of allegiance to each other as King Arthur is a king who has a soul close to the people. He wants his people to participate in seeing the historic moment. Not always there are two royal marriages at one time, also the two princes are the next holders of the throne.

However, due to tight controls, their people are not able to be too close to the palace grounds as they always do when there is a ceremony. But this is satisfying enough.

Later, both of the royal bride and groom will travel together in a chariot to wave to their people present before they enter the palace for the next ceremony with the royal family. The people present will also be given food and souvenirs which will be handed out by the palace guard. To appreciate their presence and prayers there.

That morning,

Princess Lia wakes up still in a drowsy state, after her maid struggles relentlessly asking her to get up from her bed there as she needs to get ready for her own wedding. Which it looks like she didn’t really nervous about that at all as she can still sleep with ease. It was even still hard for her to open her eyes even though she was already taking a bath.

“Can I sleep some more? I still feel tired because of the long travel.” Lia grumbled there to her bridal attendant who is now working on her makeup.

“What are you saying princess. You will be late if you done that. Also, you arrived here in winter region three days ago.  Why are you still tired?”

As Princess Lia personality is just like her father, all of the palace workers are close to her and they can even interact like friends. As a cue, Princess Lia yawned a bit big there making her bridal attendant quickly move her hand that was putting the eyeliner in Lia’s eyes. Almost makes it messy.

“Oh my! Princess… You almost ruin your makeup here.”

Lia just grins there.  Not that really care.

“Ah… I’m so sleepy. What should I do?” Lia whimpered there like a child.

“If you are that tired how do you want to handle your wedding night?” Jieun finally arrived there with his bridesmaid dress with Ayana. This is the first time Ayana traveling outside of Dream Land. As Lia wanted her and Jieun to be her bridesmaid, she then follows Jieun here.

“Don’t start teasing me. But by the way, both of you are looking so pretty…” Lia said there while looking at her best friend in a light gray bridesmaid dress and when they accompany her as she walks towards the wedding venue, they will be wearing a shawl that will cover their shoulder as its winter region and its totally  cold out there!  Except foe Lia and her family members who are already numb in the cold.

“This is the first time I’ve heard a bride feel sleepy when trying to get married. Often they feel nervous and scared.” Ayana said telling her thought.

“Hey, you are already know that I’m not that normal person anyway.” Lia said that about herself. Making all of them who were there laughed in amusement.

“Are you going to wear a veil?” Jieun asking as she didn’t see it there.

“I’m not. I want my straight brown hair to be half down and then I will wear a crown. Didn’t want to be too crowded in the head. Simple as a snow princess should be.”

“You can wear your wedding dress first before we continue with the hair.” The bridal assistant told Lia now after her face is ready with the light makeup as Lia request herself.

“Okay. I’ll be back.” Satisfied with her look, Lia got up there and went into the dressing room to change her clothes.

After a few minutes, Lia came out of the dressing room with an ice blue wedding dress with white embroidery on top. Its off shoulder sleeve wedding dress with sweetheart neckline which make Lia look so sweet and sexy at the same time. Making even Jieun and Ayana stunned looking at her.

“You look so pretty.” Seeing Lia there as the bride, Jieun begins to remember the moment when she and Eun-Woo got married. She suddenly missed the moment.

Lia smiled there.

“Thank you. But I’m still feeling sorry that I can’t come to your wedding before because of the situation. But I’m glad you are not taking revenge and come to my wedding now.” She said and then sat back down on the chair so her bridal attendant could make her hair now.

“We don’t even know each other at the time but I am sure I will never get angry at you because of that.” Jieun said.

Lia just smiles there.

At that moment a knock began to be heard there, a palace maid was there and called Jieun and Ayana to get ready in their place.

“We are going first.” Jieun and Ayana finally leaves Lia there.

After wearing a simple diamond accessory in her neck and ears, as she didn’t want her wedding dress to be blind by those things, her bridal attendant finally puts the diamond crown on the princess’s head which was the last touch up there.

Both of them were smiling, looking at the last result when Lia got up there and looked in the mirror.

“I go first. Come down when you’re ready. Which please don’t be more than 10 minutes.”

The bridal attendant finally leaving Lia alone there to arrange her thought.

But just in a minutes, the room door knocked again. Which is surprising as the person doesn’t get in there and keeps knocking. Lia then opened the door of the room, but before the door opened wide the person there held the door knob on the other side, stopped the movement, and let the door open just a little bit.

“I don’t want to see you as Ray is the one who suppose to see you first.”

Syaoran’s voice that came out there surprised Lia a little. But that’s all. She didn’t feel anything like love anymore to the man except regret. She may not be in love with Ray completely yet, but she knows that he is the right man for her. It’s just too easy to be with him rather than with this man. This man has already become her past.

“I’m not supposed to do this now, but I just want to ask something.” He added.

“What is it?” Lia said there while her hand was still holding the doorknob.

“It’s not long before what happens to us and you decide to be with Ray. Is it because of your father’s wish? Or you make this decision yourself.”

“Did you ask this out of fear I would hurt Ray?” Lia asked there. Because she knows this man will never concern about her.

“Yes.” Syaoran quickly admitted it.

Lia smiled there.

“You might not believe me. But I also didn’t want you to get hurt. Like what happen to the royal family before. I don’t want both of you to end up hurting.” Syaoran said there.

Lia once again shocked there as he never said something like that to her.  Look like she was wrong about him.  She is feeling a little touched to hear that.

“You know this is the first time you’re talking to me with so many sentences. I feel very moved.” Lia said.

Syaoran looked down there. He knew that he had always hurt Lia before with his actions. He should speak his mind sooner than dragging the matter for years and making the girl hope for him.

“I’m sorry.” He said there and he meant it.

“Don’t worry Syaoran… You might be my first love, but Ray will be my last. You don’t have to worry. I’m not doing this because of my father. I’m choosing my own destiny and I want Ray by my side. I can’t picture my life without him anymore, even though our relationship is still new. I will… do my best to always be there for him in any situation and make him happy for the rest of his life. That’s my promise to him. ” Lia honestly saying that. All the words that she just said really come out straight from her heart.

Then, there’s silence between them before Syaoran speaks again.

“Then, I will pray for both of you happiness for the rest of your life.”

“I will pray for you too.” Lia said the same. She meant it, every word.

“Come down after a minute. I’m going first.” Syaoran said there before releasing his grip on the door knob and moving away.

Lia smiled there. No more tears for this man. She feels light in her heart now with her mind is full with memories of the man who will be her husband soon. The first prince, Prince Ray of Dream Land.

Unbeknownst to them, Ray, who happened to be there, leaned against the wall quite far from them and listened to all the conversation. He cannot hide his smile that keeps appearing after hearing what Lia said just now. He can’t wait to see her and make her his completely.

“Just a little more time..” Ray said persuading his screaming heart.
