Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 0201 Chapter 0201 Ella POV The castle was even more incredible than I had imagined .

Alexander and I arrived early Saturday morning , just as planned .

Though it was only a twenty minute drive from his office in the capital , it felt like we had been transported to another world .

Surrounded by dense forest and perfectly manicured gardens , the castle looked like something out of a storybook .

It was majestic , with towering spires and intricate stonework that seemed to whisper secrets of a long ago time .

I stared up at the high windows , my mouth hanging open in unabashed awe .

I couldnt help it seeing the castle in person was breathtaking .

It is impressive , Alexander admitted , though there was a begrudging tone in his voice .

And its certainly going to impress at our wedding .

I think it might influence my dress choice , I said , my gaze fixed on the tallest spire .

I might need to go for a princess dress this time .

Alexanders lips curled into a faint smirk .

I have to admit , its hard to picture you in something like that .

I laughed , shaking my head .

Not so long ago , I wore nothing but frills and sparkles .

Its funny to think you cant imagine it now its a good reminder of how much Ive changed .

His expression softened as he regarded me , but he didnt comment further .

Instead , he extended his arm toward the grand entrance ahead .

Shall we ? Taking a steadying breath , I said , Lead the way , and we started down the cobblestone path toward the towering front doors .

We didnt even get a chance to knock before the doors swung open , revealing Christopher Slater in yet another exquisitely tailored suit .

His grin was as wide and charming as ever .

Punctual as always , he said to Alexander before turning to me .

He extended his hand , but when I reached to shake it , he bent down and kissed my knuckles instead .

I was slightly amused it only confirmed Alexanders earlier warning about how today would go .

Its nice to see you again , I said graciously .

Thank you so much for opening your home to us .

Yes , of course , Christopher replied .

Now , come in , come in .

Theres so much to show you .

He stepped aside , allowing us to enter , and closed the doors behind us .

The entranceway was vast and echoing , with a vaulted ceiling that seemed to stretch endlessly upward .

So , this is where your guests will arrive , Christopher said , gesturing grandly .

From here , theyll be led into the main hall .

I can set up a coat check here since it will be cold .

Your guests will need a place for their outerwear , and Im sure you wont want bulky jackets cluttering up the photos of the ceremony .

Ill make sure to bring staff to handle that , Alexander said smoothly .

Theres storage here thats currently unused , Christopher continued , pointing to a side door .

I can have some clothing racks and hangers brought down .

Perfect , I said , smiling .

Christopher returned my smile warmly before stepping ahead to open a pair of tall oak double doors with a theatrical flourish .

Once theyve checked their coats , your guests will enter this area , he said , gesturing inside .

I think this will be ideal for a cocktail hour , Christopher explained .

People can mingle , enjoy a drink , and have some hors doeuvres while they wait for the ceremony to begin .

Youve put a lot of thought into this , I said , genuinely impressed .

Yes , Alexander agreed .

Considering you dont typically host events here , its interesting how thoroughly youve accounted for the details .

Christopher gave a self assured smile .

Weve filmed several movies here , and many of those films included elaborate party scenes .

I know what looks good on camera .

Thats an interesting insight , I said , intrigued .

This will really be your chance to feel like a movie star , Christopher said with a warm smile directed at me .

I must say , you certainly look the part .

And Im sure whatever you do with your hair and makeup will only add to that .

Thats kind of you to say , I replied politely , feeling a little self conscious under his gaze .

Have you chosen a dress yet ? he asked , his tone curious .

Id love a little insight into what to expect .
