Within seconds, she came back with an armful of white flowers with dashes of a light pink tint in the center. She happily explained, "These are carnations, which represent everlasting and unconditional love. They're actually my favorite, so I prefer not to give them away. But I'll make an exception for you because you are my most frequent customer, and I love hearing about your relationship with this little Jane of yours."

Ipu thought. Oh, right, shit. Carmen groaned. These people had no idea what period drama was. "It's nothing," she assured. "Whatever you say, my lady." Ipu nodded and moved to a rack, carefully selecting a long, flowing gown in a pale lavender shade. It sparkled faintly under the lights, the fabric so delicate it seemed to float in her hands. The sight of it made Carmen's stomach drop. "That? You want me to wear that?" "Yes, my lady," Ipu replied, holding it up for Carmen to see.

He decided to explain to him what the different flowers symbolized, that way he would be able to decide that which suited his woman. "Mister, this type is called carnations.

“So, what’s the plan? Are we going with the Classic Royale concept, or something more contemporary for the year-end event?” Auri let out a quiet breath, studying her latest sketch. “I think Timeless Elegance suits them better, Gia. They want something luxurious, but not overly extravagant. I’m planning to use white calla lilies as the main focus, paired with deep blue hydrangeas.” “Deep blue?

Dawn arrived and the great hall buzzed early in preparation for the Imperial’s meeting. The servants cleaned the area thoroughly and had the green curtains removed and changed to gold and Tyrian purple. The ornaments were replaced with blue breeze flowers and azure plants. Only Imperials and Royals are allowed to have these colors in their homes, as it represents wealth and power. Princess Laryn had never worn anything other than these colors.

Reed had a purple lilac as his boutonniere, while I had white orchids for ours to wear with our gray matching suits. I smiled as I looked at the small group of seated guests. Seanán was sitting in Shea’s lap, wearing a miniature version of my suit without the boutonniere, while Máire held Ailís, who was adorable in her purple dress.
