The wedding day approached fast and Elsa was not able to rest for the last two days since her ladies-in-waiting and Valeria kept her busy with the wedding preparation. Chris, too, was occupied with his own tasks, resulting in the couple not crossing paths for the last two days, despite their rooms being merely adjacent.
"I've packed plenty of clothes for you, princess. Is there anything else you'd like to bring?" Laureen inquired.
Seated in front of the mirror with Lexi and Rylie tending to her hair and face, Elsa furrowed her brow and asked, "Clothes for what?"
Laureen, Lexi, Arla, and Rylie exchanged astonished glances. "Has no one from Arcanis or the prince informed you, princess?" Lexi inquired.
"Inform me about what?" Elsa's impatience grew as the girls maintained a suspenseful silence.
Arla spoke up, "The prince requested a secluded place from the king for you to stay during the mating ritual, in exchange for agreeing to proceed with the wedding before the next full moon."
