A Prince's Love

Alena went accompanied by the Queen and her mother. Her white clothes make Alena even more beautiful. The white clothes were made with slightly simple cuts so as not to drown her tiny body. Alena's face was covered with a thin veil. She and her entourage of bride and groom will be in the East Hall with female guests while the men will be in the South Hall. Male and female guests are separated.

The marriage covenant that was pronounced by Nizam was quite attended by Alena's father and the witnesses including witnesses from the woman's side, namely the president of the Republic of Indonesia. There were many invited guests who witnessed this crown prince's wedding. Because it involves many parties outside the kingdom. Even weddings are shown live. It's just that the coverage does not cover the bride because it is not allowed. So what was shown was the program in the East Hall.

The program which was held after the contract and the signing of all kinds of documents and letters of agreement was carried out from 9 to 10.. As expected, Alena immediately signed the documents because she was not given the opportunity to study them. Including Cynthia. Cynthia's intelligence could not beat Nizam's intelligence.

After signing the file, the recitation was continued for 30 minutes and then a lecture from the great theologian of Azura was continued in two languages. The last is entertainment. The singing of typical desert songs and the Zafin dance began to cheer the guests up. Some of them even danced. Nizam's friends immediately joined in the dance. Then they congratulated Nizam while hugging each other. Even George hugged Nizam very tightly as if he wanted to repeatedly apologize for his behavior. Nizam only patted George's shoulder in forgiveness. Secretly he was glad that Edward was not visible among his friends.

The atmosphere in the East Hall was not that much different. Food is served endless. The invited guests wore Azura clothes that were provided by the kingdom so that no one dressed immodestly. Alena has changed clothes many times. just to look beautiful in photos. Elsa and her friends seemed to be immersed in happiness. Cynthia was very happy to meet her friends. Staying two weeks in Azura made it feel like he was thrown from the real world into the middle of nowhere.

"Cynthia...You are getting slimmer now. Are you on a diet?" Bella asked her classmate. Cynthia waved her hand signaling no.

"Living in Azura is like living on a sword, taking a little wrong step, it could hurt my leg. How can I be fat? Besides, the food is weird. It's full of spices and yogurt. I'm the one who likes to eat so I feel sick myself" Cynthia said while drinking the juice of the dates. it's weird but pretty good.

"It's not like you like living in a luxurious place like this, Oh my God Cynthia, I didn't think Nizam was a prince at all. No wonder he is so handsome like a prince from a fairy tale. Alena is very lucky."

"Lucky ?? what luck if life is confined like a bird in a golden cage"

"Why, why?" Her friends were amazed.

"Can you imagine it? How to eat, talk, sleep, and so on are regulated by manners. Even everywhere Alena has to be act like a princess, it's annoying." Cynthia spoke in whispers

"Then what about you, Cynthia? Do you want to live in Azura forever?"

"I don't know. But until now I have to accompany her until Alena's position is strong. So that even if I go I can go in peace."

They continued to gossip while looking at Alena who was standing continuously while receiving congratulations.

The event ended at 5 in the afternoon. The bride and groom are then given the opportunity to rest. After prayer, there will be a special entertainment program for the bride and groom who are closed.

Alena is soaking in a pool filled with roses and jasmine and a blend of lavender essential oils that gives off fatigue effects. "I'm tired Cynthia .." said Alena while letting her hands and body rub with a soft sponge.

"Please be patient Alena. Tomorrow you can rest as much as you like"

"Tonight I want to sleep like a baby. I'm really, really tired." Alena yawned, her body looks sluggish, glowing eyes looking sad.

"My lady is not allowed to sleep. There is one more thing to do." The maid massaged Alena's feet gently. Alena's skin felt very smooth and soft.

"I know, I have to dance in front of Your Majesty, annoying. Why isn't he the only one dancing in front of me?" Alena grumbled. The servants immediately stifled laughter. imagining their prince, Nizam dancing gracefully in front of them.

"Not only that, My Lady. There is a first night you must go through ..." But the servant turned pale when she saw Cynthia glancing sharply. Fortunately, Alena, who was lying down didn't seem to pay much attention to the maid's words. Instead, She ordered her servant to massage her waist, which felt broken because She kept standing shaking hands.

Until finally Alena was ready with her dance clothes. She will dance accompanied by princesses Mira, Alycia, and Lela. Princess Reina refused to join the dance. She had been busy doing something. From the evening, She had given instructions to her servant Qory to do something. She told Qory to go to Muthmainnah's Palace first.

The Muthmainnah palace is the place of the first night of the Crown Prince Princes. The place is designed for the first night. The form of the palace was very beautiful and romantic. Blue color dominates the bridal chamber for Nizam and Alena. There are thousands of roses adorning the palace. The fragrance of the bridal chamber is almost intoxicating for those who enter it.

Alena is wearing white and the other dancers are already wearing colorful clothes. Clothing which Alena thought was quite vulgar. She and the others wore only minimal breastplates and long, thin skirts. Cynthia was astonished to see her. Alena and the three dancers are like striptease dancers.

"Alena..would you like to dance striptease?"

Alena shook her head. "I don't know. I don't care, I'm so tired I want to sleep." Alena is no longer concentrating. She walked lazily following the princesses to the stretcher. They will immediately go to Muthmainnah's Palace where She and Nizam will spend their first night.

Nizam was already sitting waiting in the small hall. He sat on a throne that was colored red. The soft pillow seemed to support his hand. He was curious to see Alena's dance. This dance is indeed a dance offered by the bride to the groom before they spend the night of the bride and groom. Not long after, the music was playing and then the accompanying dancers appeared, curling their bodies with great charm. Nizam was more likely to see the girls' faces than their bodies. Even though they were all his women, this was the first time he saw them clearly.

Nizam touched his finger to his lips to see a beautiful girl who was so graceful. Her face has a very distinctive beauty. Nizam seemed familiar with that face.

The girl who was looking closely at Nizam immediately glanced at her eyes seductively. Her body deliberately twists and turns to follow the music. Nizam frowned, then He turned his face to the side, He didn't like being teased. "Where's Alena ?? why doesn't she appear?" Nizam turned to the left and right looking for his wife. It should have been after the accompanying dancer came out and danced for about 5 minutes before the bride came out to dance. But it's been almost 10 minutes that Alena didn't come out either.

At that moment, Queen Sabrina immediately ordered Cynthia to look for Alena to the back room of the hall. Alena's mother is uncomfortable. She grumbled to her own daughter.

Cynthia was amazed to see Alena sleeping on the dressing table, sitting with her hands and head on the dresser. The servants try to wake Alena up. She was patted on the shoulder by the servants and her make-up. They looked panicked because Alena didn't wake up. In fact, She snored softly.

"Alena!... Alena! Oh my God... Are you dead or sleeping?" Cynthia started to panic too.

"Earlier Princess Alena said she would sleep for a while before her part started. Then she could not be prevented from sleeping. "How is this?" A servant is afraid of being punished.

The dance coach, Alena, seemed to start shedding tears. She is responsible for the training and performance of Alena dance. She also trained Alena for almost 10 days. She struggled to train Alena but on the day of the performance Alena, Alena fell asleep.

Queen Sabrina got impatient, the program got stuck. She was also very tired. She wanted to rest immediately but She had to wait for Nizam to carry out his first night. She immediately walked to Alena's room and She was immediately astonished to see the scene in front of her. Her daughter-in-law slept surrounded by servants who tried to wake her up.

"How could She sleep at this moment?" Queen Sabrina heard the wrath of her voice sounded thunderous breaking the silence. Her pretty eyes are almost about to pop out of place. The atmosphere was immediately terrifying. The dancers immediately stopped their dance cause hear Queen Sabrina's voice as if she wanted to break down this palace. Nizam was so surprised that he also immediately got up and followed to enter that room.
