❝ Tell me about it, ❞ she says with a chuckle, reaching for his hand and gently guiding him into her and Evie's room. ❝ I have never seen Audrey so high-strung. I told her that everything doesn't have to be perfect, but she quickly told me otherwise, ❞ Mal laughed, closing the door behind them before walking back to him.

"This is the first royal wedding Auradon has ever had, everyone is going to go crazy about it." Ben had known that when he finally got married it was going to be a big occasion. The entire country had been waiting for this day. When the crown prince, now king, got married. It was going to be just as big, if not bigger than his coronation.

❝ You know, I hadn't really considered that, ❞ Mal admits with a chuckle, sitting down on the edge of her bed. She pats the empty space beside her, never once breaking eye contact with Ben. She couldn't help but wonder what her mother would think of all this; not just marrying Ben, but also becoming queen. A part of her wished Maleficent were still in her human form, so that she could see her daughter walk down the aisle with Hades. Perhaps she still could...

Rhaenys had been unconscious for two moons after falling from the saddle while Meleys was landing, striking her head on the rocks. The maesters had done all they could do, stitching up the bloody gash, tending to the fever that followed, but in the end they had said that her fate was in the hands of the gods.

Corlys was away at sea, leaving Rhaenys alone with Mal, who had sat at her bedside every day. The sun was starting to sink beneath the horizon, and Mal had started to rise to leave when a light pressure was applied to the hand that had been holding Rhaenys'.

“Rhaenys? Was that - did you squeeze my hand?” @malbcrtha questioned, hope lighting up her face.

The past two months had been the longest of Mal’s life. When she had learned of the princess’s fall from her saddle, the sixteen-year-old’s stomach had dropped, and she collapsed. But when she was told that Rhaenys still had life in her (albeit barely), she clung to that hope, fiercely determined to bring back to her the woman who had been the closest thing to a mother she'd ever had.

When she had first seen her bandaged head, Mal's heart lurched. Once she was certain there was no one else around, she closed her chamber door and recited every spell she could think of, her eyes glowing green...but no matter how hard she tried, no spell would wake the princess. Even so, she remained at her bedside every day, taking her meals in the bedchamber and only occasionally leaving her to bathe or sleep in her own chambers (when she wasn't sleeping on the settee).
