She was adorned in a silver gown that shimmered..As she walked down the stairs her gown shimmered around her which complemented her slender figure...Her hair was sleekly styled with a few stray strands softly framing her exhausted face.....Though she walked with grace there was a faint tremble in her steps....Her hands clutched the fabric of her gown briefly before she steadied herself....she forced a small smile as she moved forward.…"My Shalya…" Mr. Mandragon said and looked back with pride before stepping forward to take his wife’s hands.The maids and guards all lowered their heads in unison."I married you for one reason… one reason, Thersa," he said, pulling her into a heated hug.
