Chapter 137

140 The descent of a goddess The maids spent the whole afternoon getting April ready while Cassian's naming ceremony was taking place in the temple.

They took great pains to make April look dazzling, especially since it had been the king's order.

As the sun began to set, April began to get nervous, especially because she had to do something she had never done before and she had to do it alone.

Alessandro would not be by her side when she entered the ballroom.

The maids put on her the dress that was meters and meters of silk, that dress had been arranged for her, Madame Rumian had added pearls and diamonds to the dress, and she looked even more stunning than when she had tried it on, the dress worthy of a queen.

While one of the maids carefully placed a butterfly made of diamond in her hair, another took out a small tiara, but April rejected it.

_I will not wear any headband.

The maids were surprised, one of them tried to convince her to use it.

_Your Majesty, this is a formal event, you must wear a tiara.

_I already know the etiquette of royal balls, I don't need you to remind me, but I won't use it.

_Then it will be as your majesty wishes.

One of the maids knelt down to place April's silver shoes on her feet.

She was ready.

Everyone stared at her with their mouths open and praises of how beautiful she looked were soon heard.

_Your Majesty is dazzling tonight, it's as if an angel had descended directly from heaven.

April looked in the mirror, and when she saw herself she understood why the maids were praising her; she looked beautiful.

At that moment, her beauty seemed to go beyond natural.

She tried to touch her reflection in the mirror, but she found it hard to believe that it was her who was reflected in the mirror.

Someone knocked on the door, one of the maids went to see who was knocking, it was one of the king's knights who was there to escort April to the ballroom, the maid came back in and said.
