Chapter 432: Veil

The tiara was encrusted with numerous diamonds, and looked like a thousand stars upon fire when Holly placed them her red hair. 

"Call me Bianca."

Holly's eyes became wide. "Oh no, Your Highness! I can never do that!" she said and adjusted the tiara. Over that she made her wear a pale crimson veil. 

Bianca rolled her eyes. Getting used to this would take a long time. "Why do I have to wear a veil?" 

Holly lifted it and folded it back. She said, "Others can't see the queen until after the coronation." She puffed up her sleeves. "It's a small ritual we follow, and it's something we, as your subjects, would love you to follow because— because—" her voice wavered. 

"Because?" 

"Because we've found you after a long time and want to do everything that we ever wanted to… with you." 

Bianca chuckled. The woman sounded so cute.
