Chapter 189 - Memory

I waited for her to answer. I understand it was hard for her. She was a new girl in a foreign country. Everything around her was totally different.

"No! It's because of Kyle. I couldn't let him go. It was killing me, thinking that he would be away from me again. My heart felt like it was being crushed every time I didn't see him. I love him! I really do!" She said while sobbing.

I took a deep breath before yelling at her.

"It seems you have a lot to talk about with him. Tell him what's in your heart Emily. He was hurt. You're stupid to say that he just need you for sex. He was away for more than a year but you know when he broke up with Lily, he never had any girlfriend. He didn't sleep with anyone. Even with Lily. That's one reason they broke up. Because he couldn't take another woman. He wants you. Lily went to him personally and tried to seduce him but he rejected her. The next day she broke up with him. He told me he really couldn't forget you and he felt like he was cheating on you if he would touch another woman. Stupid right? You were never his girlfriend, but he couldn't deceive his heart." I said in a firm voice. 

"Why didn't you tell me?" She wailed.

"Will you stop asking why? Instead of asking why, start figuring out how! How would you return his love for you? How can you stop that uncertainty in your mind? If you will keep on having those, it won't take you anywhere. You're just going to ruin my brother. If you will just ruin him, divorce him now!" I yelled.

I laughed remembering the words I told her. She was being stubborn and weak. She was both my best friend and my sister in law. Most of all she was the future queen. She should never show any weakness to anyone.

"You were really harsh. Telling me that I will be the cause of Kyle's downfall and just divorce him. It was like an eye opening for me. I don't want to leave Kyle's side but at the same time I really hate the traditions here." Emily said while looking at me.

"What did you do after that?" I asked, curiously.

"I talked to Kyle. I told him everything that was on my mind and my heart. Then he asked me the same question. He asked me what I will do moving forward. I told him I wanted to change Flousia's traditions. Not completely change it but revise it. He agreed and just supported me."

I smiled at her. Looking at Emily now, she really became a queen. Before she was like a brat who wanted to have a rich boyfriend. Who would have thought she would fall for my brother?

"Wow! You're so beautiful!"

We were stunned when Emily turned around to show us her gown.

It was a side draped, sparkly nude, glittering from its diamond and swarovski crystals embellishment. A unique mesh long dress with thigh-high slit and feather decorated long train. It has an asymmetrical one shoulder neckline to show off some skin.

"Do you think this is okay? Should I cover myself more?" She asked

Nina and I glanced at each other then laughed. Sophie was giggling on the couch, still waiting for her dress.

"What?" Emily asked again.

"I thought you're not anxious. Or are you excited?" I asked.

She glared at me and waited for us to answer again.

"You're fine. You look amazing. Besides, you will be wearing a royal robe on top of that dress. You'll remove it after being crowned." I answered.

She nodded and seemed relieved. She didn't want to show us but she was nervous. I really don't think that I'm the only one who was restless. I know everyone has the same feelings.

I held Emily's hands, stared directly into her eyes.

"Hey, I know you're worried. I am, too. I think everyone's the same."

She sighed, touching me on the cheek.

"If anything goes wrong, don't try to save me or your brother. Save yourself and your baby. Kyle wouldn't like to be saved, especially if it's you. Kyle loves you very much and I love you like my real sister." She said.

I wanted to say something but no words came from my mouth. That feeling again, that something bad will happen. I don't know why I've been having this feeling lately.

Everyone was telling me something that they don't usually say, as if they would never get a chance to say it again. I don't like saying goodbye.

"Princess Margaret, your dress is here." I was startled when one of the royal servants approached me.

"Thank you." I smiled.

I stood up and walked closer to the dress. I just chose a simple wardrobe for the occasion since I don't like to stand out.

I chose an embellished baby pink tulle puffy ball gown. A floor-length long designed with 3D flowers and petals. It has an off-the-shoulder neckline with sheer long sleeves. Pleated bodice and lace up back. It was a cute princess dress for me.

"That's really pretty. Did you think of the design?" Sophie asked, holding her blue gown."

"Yes. I wanted a simple dress since this is my brother and Emily's party." I nodded.

I didn't notice I was quiet and was just looking at the dress. I felt a warm head and when I turned, it was Sophie.

"Peggy, we're all in this together. Trust our bond. Everything is possible." She whispered.

Days passed fast, it was already the day of the coronation. My heart was beating so loud and I wasn't able to sleep last night, thinking of today.

I don't think anyone slept either. I was sitting on the bed, biting my nails when Jayden hugged me from behind.

He started kissing me on the shoulders while wrapping his arms tighter around my waist.
