316 Gifts For The Queen

'My beauty? But I'm wearing a veil…and the gems aren't even the color of my eyes…'

Seren felt her choice of words was odd, but since it was a gift, she could only nod while Lady Xena accepted the gift from the servant who was holding it. 

Princess Taisie came forward and presented her gift next. "Your Majesty, I thought of you and chose a gift that I knew would honor your beauty as well."

What she had prepared was a thick waterfall necklace made of gold. It reminded Seren of the kind of deathly heavy necklace she wore during her first wedding and her neck seemingly tingled at the horrible memory. Though she personally disapproved of this kind of extravagant design, she accepted it with grace. 

After that, it was Lady Yavia's and her daughters' turn. Their gifts turned out to be precious jewelry as well, just like Lady Clarisa and her daughter.
