Chapter 352 - A New Change

Keira woke up from her husband's kiss and her cold disappeared. She smiled up and spread her arms. He hugged her and kissed her temple.

"My cold is gone!"

"That's good." He kissed her forehead. "It's already eight, you need to glam up. Party is already starting downstairs."

"Oh!" She exclaimed and quickly slipped off. Her pet was already wearing Princess-like clothes and a small crown. "Wow, you look so beautiful Lovie."

Lovie showed her tongue as her tail wiggled in excitement.

"Let me wash up a little bit before we have our glam." She told and peeked at the guest area of the bedroom which was another door before their actual bedroom.

"Hurry up. They are waiting for you." Alessandro said as he picked up Lovie and snuggled with the dog as he sat on the sofa.

Keira quickly put her robe on and went to her dresser as her stylist quickly moved, fixed her hair, and put make-up on her, all three at the same time. They were fast like she's a model. She was surprised by this setup but they are fast and make her more beautiful. Then, she gaped at the gown that was reserved for her.

"I'll help her from here," Alessandro told them. Then, the stylists left and Alessandro reached her chin and she's ready for that kiss on the lips but he only kissed her forehead. She pouted at him and frowned. Then, he helped her put the dress on. "You looked so beautiful, Princess."

"Oh, thank you, love." She pouted her lips so he could kiss them but he shook his head. "Why not?"

"I might ruin your beautiful lipstick."

She then turned to the mirror and it was indeed beautiful and perfect to her. But anyway she still didn't like it when her husband wasn't kissing her. It made her think that something was wrong. Then, they went downstairs with their pet to the ball. She was surprised when they announced their arrival and everyone that she did not know turned to her. She looked up at her husband who looked down at her full of love.

"I didn't expect this." She whispered to him as her husband led her to where her parents were.

"Hey, Princess." Karmina kissed her daughter's cheeks while Henry kissed her temple. "Well, there are people who want to meet you."

"Oh-kay. I'm quite nervous of so many people."

She smiled and showed her to everyone.

Keira feels a little dizzy in this New Year Celebration. There were aristocrats and part of the parliament. Also, everyone is so nice but she noticed the young lady who was gaping at her husband. Although they covered their nose and mouth with their fans, she could still notice their wide eyes toward her husband. But they need to fuck off since he's already hers. But she worried that all of these beautiful ladies, daughters of aristocrats, would catch her attention.

She glanced at her husband and glared at him. He smiled charmingly and winked at her while he's busy patting Lovie who wanted a cuddle. Then, there were few performances from other people as they boasted about their sons and daughters to the Queen, who is her mother. The chat kept going on as there were a few more people that were invited inside. They don't dress elegantly as their guests but Karmina greeted them warmly. She already noticed the old man from the cafe as Karmina spoke to him sweetly.

"Alright, I feel a little bright in here." She mumbled once that she's beside her husband.

"Yup, you shone so brightly." He teased him and then he finally stole a kiss on her lips that made her grin.

She quickly wrapped her arms around his waist and chuckled.

"I know you can't resist me."

"I tried so hard this time." He grinned at her.

"We will hit it off later." She rubbed his sides.

"Later," He winked.

"Hey," Henry called them as the two stopped flirting. "The two of you will perform tonight. I don't want them to see that my children have no talent."

"Oh, please." Keira rolled her eyes but then Henry patted her head.

"Please, baby girl? Cello is ready, the piano is ready. Wait, do you want a microphone? You aren't coughing right?"

"Dad, no. It's just a bad sneeze."

"So, can you sing?" Henry grinned at her as she looked at her husband who nodded.

"Fine."

There were a few more performances including the operation. Keira was easy to judge and all she could say was that the girl practiced well for this rushed event. Keira sighed as she pulled her husband.

"Let's practice a little. I need to warm up my voice."

"But you are talkative enough." He told her and chuckled.

"I'm serious."

He gave the heavy dog to his father-in-law as Henry quickly put the dog down. Then, he held his wife's hand as they went to a room with no people. She breathes in and out. As her husband approached the wall piano. He stretched his fingers and exercised his fingers through the piano keys. Then, she stood by his side and cleared her throat. He started playing it from low tune to high and high to low.

"Alright, I'm ready." She told him.

"Great." He stood and reached his wife's waist as he kissed her lips. "I can't wait to hear you sing again, my love."

"Oh, that's sweet." She pinched his nose as they went back to the hall.

Karmina and Henry were sitting on the sofa with Lovie and with old Carter. The master of the ceremony announced a performance from them. Keira held the microphone as Alessandro pressed the C-key. Then he started playing the one that they composed together and Keira hummed and started singing.

Everyone gaped at them as they listened to their performance. No words came out from the mouths of their audience even after they performed. Henry and Karmina clapped their hands as everyone followed. Keira smiled and curtsied in her best way. Although it wasn't the curtsy that Princess should do. She smiled as her husband escorted her to the sofa but lots of people already approached them and talked to them.

She was already starving but she kept her composure. After three minutes, they were led to the banquet. Finally! They are going to eat.

"Yes," She mumbled as Alessandro chuckled and put his arms over her shoulder. "I'm starving." She told him.

The banquet was for everyone and they gave seats to everyone no matter what the status in the society. She spoke to anyone while eating. She didn't mind if she was ungraceful or it wasn't etiquette of a Princess on how to eat. She just wants to eat.

"I can't wait for the dessert." She whispered to her husband as Alessandro grinned. She almost finished the food in front of her.

Violet looked at her baby who was holding his food. He was so adorable that he even extended the cookie to his mother. She moved closer and took a very small bite. He smiled and laughed at her. She sighed. She loved him so much and later, she needed to let him go. Her heart aches but her baby must go.

"I love you." She told him as he looked up at her while chewing the food. He was so adorable as her heart melted. "Baby, you need to be good, okay? Your Aunt Maxi and Uncle Rence. They love you, okay?"

"Nom-nom." He extended his small biscuit to give it to her.

"I am fine, my baby." She picked him up and hugged him, squeezing him a little.

"Nom-nom." He reached her face and leaned his forehead to her nose.

"You are so sweet." She told him as she continued being adorable.

"Vi," Terrence called. "Everything is ready."

"Alright," She picked him up as she stood. Then, she cleaned him up and changed his clothes. She sniffed his neck and kissed his forehead. "I'm going to miss you." She started crying as she took him in the van to the backseat.

Kal frowned and cooed.

"Stay safe, okay?" She wiped her tears and kissed Kal's forehead. She looked at him one last time and then she closed the van. Terrence sighed and hugged her as she wept.

"Everything will be alright. Just take this moment as letting your son get married to someone else." Terrence said.

She chuckled and nodded at him. She then stayed in the house with Alicia as they watched them depart. She sighed and held her chest as she stayed outside for long. Then, finally, she went inside to Alicia as the sweet girl gave her snacks.

"They will be alright," Alicia told her. "Just what Terrence said, your little boy has grown up so well now that he has a girlfriend waiting for him for their trip."

"I don't even want my little boy to grow up so quickly." She sniffled and wiped her tears.

Alicia gave her the box of tissue as she wiped her snots and tears.

"My husband is not with me and now, my son." She sighed. "I am all alone."

Alicia sat down and listened to her drama.
