" are you quite happy with the party? " aurelia asked as she came up upon the high lady of dawn, a smile on her face. " the garden has never looked more beautiful, and the menu turned out perfect. i'm sure everyone is enjoying it. " they had gone over the details again and again ⸻ until aurelia could have told you them in her sleep.
the brunette glanced around, at the members of the fourteen courts mingling around. what a strange sight to see, and yet, a welcomed one. " an honor, to be chosen as first by the cauldron. " she murmured, " first your ascendent to high lady, and now this. is it what you thought it would be, my lady? " the priestess's words were sincere, not at all laced with any malice or ill intent for the high lady of dawn. aurelia did enjoy lizeth's company, so long as her betrothed was not around.
closed for @ladyofthefirstlight, at the garden party.
