Chapter 87 Mother’s Gown (1/2)

Regaleon and I took a stroll outside and the sun was about to set.

Dimitri came to relay a message to Regaelon. He bowed to us and whispered to Regaleon.

”Alicia, I am sorry that I have to cut short my visit.” Regaleon said with a sad smile. ”Something came up and I need to go back to attend to it.”

”It's okay.” I replied. But deep down I was sad. Regaleon and I haven't seen each other for a few days because of our busy schedules. I was looking forward to have dinner with him tonight.

”Alicia.” Regaleon caressed my face. ”Tell me what's on your mind.”

Regaleon looked at me with soft eyes. He was able to read my inner feelings.

”I was...looking forward to having dinner with you tonight.” I was ashamed to be selfish. ”But I know you are busy. I have expected this and also in the future. I can't be selfish because the citizens of Grandcrest needs you.”

”My Alicia.” Regaleon smiled sweetly at me. ”I know that you understand. I will try to settle the matters before dinner tonight.” He kissed me on my forehead.

”Be careful on your way back.” I said while looking at Regaleon's retreating back.

I sighed lightly.

”Princess,” Tricia was by my side in an instant. ”Would you like to look at the gown his majesty the king brought?”

Then I remembered the gown that father brought. It was supposed to be my mother's.

”Yes, I would like to look at it.” My spirit lightened up.

It was dusk when I entered my room. Inside was a mannequin wearing a royal blue ball gown.

The ball gown was adorned with light blue jewels and silver beads.

I was mesmerized with the it. It was like a gown that came out straight from a fairy tale.

”It's so beautiful.” I said.

”Yes princess, it is indeed very beautiful. I am sure it will look good on you. You would be the most beautiful woman in the party.” Tricia who was just behind me said. ”Wasn't this your mother's?”
