The Wedding Date
It had been a year since Gregor had left the Underland. Things had generally been quiet down there since he'd returned to the Overland, except for a brief war where the Cutters were essentially destroyed. Celebration was a much more common event in Regalia, nowadays. And in the preparation for wedding, everything was pleasantly chaotic and everyone was excited. Except for the queen herself…
Luxa sighed. I would be ghastly inappropriate for the queen to attend a wedding alone. Especially someone, who, was undeniably lower status-wise than she was. For Dulcet was to wed Horatio the next day and Luxa feared that she would be going without an escort. She would have been asked of course, but it was considered terribly rude to ask a queen to a wedding, and Luxa had absolutely zero interest in asking someone else. Just as she was debating actually not attending, she felt a wing on her shoulder.
"Don't fret Luxa, you won't be going alone," Aurora spoke softly, "I will be with you. As will Hazard and Vikus." Luxa nodded but it didn't make her any more cheerful.
"And I'm sure you could still ask some-"
"No," Luxa interrupted her, "I am fine. Attending without an escort might be better anyway. Vikus will need my attention. He has not been on many outings lately." And with that she climbed on to Aurora's back and they flew off.
