Chapter 54: Chapter 56

Aureate

adj. Golden or gilded; brilliant, splendid.

Red was the the colour the queen would be wearing and I was getting quite bored of white, so those two colours were out of the question. The witches had gone for bright and deep mesmerising colours so I had been stumped for what colour dress to go for myself.

"How about gold? Brings out your eyes and looks wonderful against your hair," Kieran had suggested. I gave him a questioning glance and he just shrugged.

And that's how I had chosen my ballgown.

The large puffy dress was a brilliant golden colour, glittering and shining under the light from the hundreds of tiny little rhinestones decorating it. It had a beautiful sweetheart neckline so I decided to pile my hair up into an elegant up do.

I added some long golden earrings and a heavy golden necklace to adorn my exposed neck. I traded my silver crown for a small golden tiara to match.
