Choosing a Groooovy outfit was tough, but Ace's Ghost Bride costume did give me a romantic and adorable idea.

*********************

As the royal staff were moving Ace’s belongings into the Queendom Palace, Victoria was responsible for making sure that all of his things were organized without issue. The very last thing to be moved in was Ace’s wardrobe. Every piece of clothing that he owed was to be stored in his personal closet as cleanly and properly as possible. None of his fabrics were to be wrinkled in the process. However, there was one outfit that piqued Queen Victoria’s interest.

“Where did you get this beautiful suit?” she asked Ace, pointing specifically to his groom’s set.

His cheeks flushed pink. “It’s kinda a long story,” he responded.

“Oh, I’ll be more than willing to hear it. We have all the time in the world today.”

Sitting on the bed and continuing to watch the organization process, Ace relayed the story of the Ghost Bride’s invasion of Night Raven College. How she overthrew the campus to throw her very own wedding while taking one of his classmates as her hostage groom. It was up to him and the rest of his friends to give the Ghost Bride a piece of their minds, so that Idia didn’t end up buried alive.

“Goodness me! A ghost bride! I never would’ve thought of a possibility such as that!”

“You can say that again. Thank the Seven she found someone of her own class at the very last minute.”

Victoria agreed, but she was again distracted by the groom’s suit. The popping red that overpowered the black stripes of the pants and jacket matched the national color of the castle. The fabric was as soft as her casual dress material. “This must’ve been comfortable to wear, I take it?”

“It served its purpose.”

“I’m glad you kept it.”

“Eh, I figured I’d wear it again at some point. Why get rid of some snazzy duds?”

“You are right. Why get rid of it?” She held the suit up to Ace’s body. He stared at her, confused. “How would you feel about wearing this suit for our wedding?”

“Eh?”

“Think about it. You will be the star out of all the men at court. You will be the sunlight inside the chapel.”

Ace chuckled, blushing brighter than he was before. “Jumping ahead a little, huh?”

“I need to find out where to find spare fabric. I would love to wear a bow to match your pattern.”

“Wait…You would do that?”

“Don’t tell me you forgot that the royal bride and groom match in their wedding wear.”

“I didn’t forget. I guess I didn’t pay much attention.”

Victoria giggled. “Well, now you know. A white rose in your jacket pocket would be perfect to match my dress.”

“Hey, Vic…”

“Yes?”

Ace was about to speak, but a thought struck him at the last minute. “If a butterfly would to match the rose theme, would you--”

“Oh, Ace! That’s a brilliant idea!” She offered the suit to the maid to return it to the closet. Victoria leapt into Ace’s arms and snuggled just under his chin. “Oh, I’m excited now. Do we have to wait until you graduate to marry me, Ace?”

“Vic, I--”

She laughed. “I’m joking. I know how much your education means to you. I would never jeopardize that.”

Ace felt the sweat drop from the back of his neck. “Oh, that’s a relief. Don’t get me wrong; I’m happy, too, but all good things come to those who wait.”

Victoria smiled widely. “That’s right, and it will be a very good thing indeed.”
