Chapter 16

Vera woke me up for breakfast. I didn't let them dress me. I dressed my self up. I did not wanted to look like an idiot. It's not that they don't dress me nice. I am just use to my ladies making my dressed and making me ready. They knew what I wanted.

Sydney came in and helped. She picked a nice light blue dress for me. It was tight from the chest and rest was lose. It had a round neck like and sleeves went up to my elbow. Around the neck line it was nicely beaded in pearls.

Sydney let my hair lose but braided the font and pined them back. She put the pearls earrings in my ear and some pearl bracelet on my hand. It was simple, yet elegant. Thats how I liked my self.

"Sorry I am late. I slept in." It was Viktoria who came running in the room.

"Why? Did Guardian Castile not let you sleep last night?" It was Sydney who asked that. It Viktoria blushed. And both Sydney and I started laughing.

"Sydney" Viktoria said and slapped her on the arm. It was a friendly one. Viktoria was still blushing. We all made our way out. I stooped to see Eddie.

"Your Highness, " he said and bowed to me. I was in a good mood today.

"Guardian Castile, I heard a complaint, about you." I said to him in a serious tone. He looked at me really confused and asked,

"Yes, your Highness?"

"I heard from my Lady Viktoria that you did not let her sleep last night. And thats why she was late today." I said so him again being really serious. Eddie turned red ten shades darker. He looked at me and then at Viktoria who was embarrassed right now.

"I... ummm... I.. I am really sorry you're highness." He statured and looked down.

"Apology accepted. Next time make sure she is not late." I said and started laughing Sydney and Guard Sasha also started laughing. It doesn't hurt to joke sometime. Both Eddie and Viktoria were embarrassed.

"Rose you are so mean" Viktoria said.

And Sasha, Sydney and I laughed again. We all stooped when someone said,

"It's not good for a queen's reputation to joke with a guard." I turned around to look who it was. It was that Prince again. What was his name? Asan? Amir? Asim? Yes, it was Asim. I glared at him.

"It is nobody's businesses what I do and not. I can joke or I can be mad at my guard." I said and crossed my arms.

"Maybe it is allowed in Turkey. But this is Russia. Behaviour like this not allowed here. And I am telling you this for your own good." He said as he walked up to me.

"Don't tell me whats good for me and whats not." I stated.

"I am just trying to warn you of the consequences of this. If Queen Tatiana find out about this she wont be happy." He said.

"I don't care if she will be happy or not. I don't give a dam to what she thinks. And I am getting married to King Ivashkov not to Queen Tatiana, of who I have to think she will be happy or not. When I don't give damn to the king I sure don't give a damn to his old mother." I said and he was looking at me with amusement. I was starting to hate him now.

There is no way he can be Dimitri. Dimitri he would have joked about the king and his mother but this douche looks like he gives them so much respect.

"Excuse us. I am being late for the breakfast. " I said to him and walked of. Eddie walked in front of me and the girls trailed behind me and Sasha was walked behind the girls. As if I really need protection in the palace.

To be honest I don't need to be protected anywhere because I am capable of protecting my self. I have take training from Mason, Eddie, and Dimitri. I was good just like them, but nothing compare to Dimitri. He is fearless, deadly and was dedicated to his work. Just thinking about him brings me heart ache.

When would he come back? What if he doesn't come back? No, that is not a possibility. We were now in the dining hall. Eddie and Sasha stayed behind and Viktoria and Sydney followed me in.

"Your Highness," Adrian said walked up to me and kissed my hand.

"Your Majesty," I said to him. I looked around and there, she was the Queen Tatiana, giving me a glare. It looks like she is not happy with her son's decision of being married to me and I smirked at her. Pay back is a bitch. And now I knew how would I piss her off.

There was also the lady from last night sitting at the table and she smiled at me. I think she is Adrian's third wife. But why would she smile at me? I would hate if my husband was getting married to another women and I would definitely not smile at her.

I smiled back. Prince Paul was also here along with his wife. They smiled at me and I nodded at them. Christian and Lissa were also here. I sat between Lissa and Paul's wife. Sydney and Viktoria stood near by the wall, for me if I needed something there were more ladies here around the wall.

I believe they were the queen's, Adrian's wife and Paul's wife ladies. Some ladies started putting the breakfast down and the door opened and the Prince Asim walked in saying,

"I am really sorry for being late Your Majesty." He said to Adrian. Adrian just smiled at him and said,

"It's ok prince Abasi. I am glad you could join us and stay for the wedding." And Prince Asim sat down across from me and smirked at me. What was with him and the king?

"It's my pleasure to be here your Majesty, " he said while looking at me. I was glaring at him. There is no way possible I could like him. He was starting to get on my nerves now. The way he looked at me. I just wanted to go and punch him in the face.

Breakfast was good, really good. There was so much, all Russian food. I believe there were about ten different kind of food on the table. I tried everything and everyone just looked at me.

I didn't care. I was hungry and I was really hungry. I finished my plate up and was really satisfied. The food was really good. The cook should be rewarded for making this awesome breakfast. Everyone left so did I.

Eddie and Sasha escorted me to my room and to my surprise Viktoria and Sydney didn't follow. I wonder where did they go? The walk there was a quite one. When I got in the room, I just sat on the couch and tried to relax my self.

"Your Highness," Vera called out. I looked at her.

"Alina and I are working on you're wedding dress. We just want to make sure if it is to your likings. So we can start the dress." She said. I was really not interested in the wedding preparations but I am bored so mind as well just help them.

"Ok" I said to her. Both Vera and Alina brought stuff and put it on the table. Vera started to take some materials out and Alina some diagrams.

"Your Highness these are some diagrams that we have, drew for your dress." Alina said, giving me the diagrams. They all looked ok but nothing to my likings. In every dress I would just like one thing about it and thats all.

"There is this one that we both like and we think it will look great on you." Alina said, giving me the diagram. I looked at it and she was right it was really nice. It was tight from chest to my waist and it was plaited. Had a sweetheart neck line, and it was lose from the bottom and had a brush train, the bottom was beaded nicely going up and had some kind of lace on it, it also had a top that went just down to my chest. It was a net with some beading done on it. It was full sleeves and went went up to my neck. And neck was beaded to so I wouldn't have to wear a necklace.

I think I like it and I don't want anything changed. I think they are getting to know what my taste is in dressing. I told them that I like this dress and they can start working on it. I didn't really had an interest it in. I got even bored looking at their stuff. So I told them just leave me alone.

Where is Victoria and Sydney? They should be here, I haven't seen them since morning. I should ask Eddie or Sasha. I got up and went out of the room. And there was no sign of both of them. Where are they? There are supposed to be here out of my room if I need something.

There is something really fishy going on. They would never have let me be alone. I went to look for them. I walked and walked and I was lost. This palace is so huge I cant even find anything and the fact that I just came yesterday does not help.

I was so lost that I didn't notice anyone and got bumped into someone. "I am really sorry." I said and looked up.

There was an older women looking at me. She had brown eyes and brown hair which had some grey hair in. The brown eyes were just Dimitri's. Why is that in everyone I see Dimitri these days?

"It's ok. Aren't you Queen Rosemarie Mazur? " she asked me.

"Yes, Sorry I am kind of lost. I was looking for my guards and ladies." I said to her.

"It's ok but why were you looking for them? They are supposed to tend you when you need them." She said.

"Yes, but I told them they were dismissed and I wanted them again so I was looking for them." I lied to her. She looked at me and smiled. I wonder who she is.

"If you don't mind me asking who are you?" I asked.

"Oh my bad I did not introduced my self to you. I am Olena Ivashkov." She said. And I just kept staring at her. I have been wanting to meet her and I finally did. And like this bumping in to her.

"It's nice to meet you." I said to her. She smiled at me and said,

"You should not be here, especially without the guards. If her Majesty find you like this she wont be happy." I don't know why people are so scared of this queen bitch.

"Why are you scared of her?" I asked.

"I am not scared of her. Sometimes things happen which are not in your control and you cant do anything about it except just stay quite and wait for something nice to happen." She said. I wonder what things she is talking about. She is polite and wise just like Dimitri. Why? Why is everything reminding me of Dimitri?

"Maybe sometimes nice things never happen!" I said to her.

"Nice things do happen. You just need to have patience and wait for them to happen." She said. How can someone be this wise?

"How long can one wait?" I asked.

"As long as they don't give up." She said.

"And what if one cant handle it and give up?" I asked.

"Then that means that person is not strong enough and does not have faith." She stated.

"How can you be so wise after whatever happened with you? You lost your son, your husband, and here you are standing talking about not giving up." I asked her.

"I said I believe nice things happen and I have patience and faith so thats why my head is still held high." She said and smiling at me. I could learn so much from her and I already like her. Maybe she is right nice things happen thats why I met her.

Not everyone in Russia is cruel at least someone is nice. I could make my self being friends withe her. Her ladies came up and said that it was time for her lunch and she sent one of her ladies to escort me. Maybe this was not going to end up so bad.
