Princess of the Night

As the night turns into the light of dawn, Princess Banza awakens early with a zest for the day as her fiancé is set to arrive at the palace for their engagement ceremony. Banza sits up in her bed and slowly and elegantly stretches out and erases the slumber of the night before from her body and face. She hops out of her massive bed with ivory sheets, gold pillars and headboard to walk to grab her favorite deep red silk robe. She puts her robe on as she royally glides to her balcony to gaze at the beauty of the Congolese terrain. The sky has hues of pink, orange, yellow, and white as Banza gazes with adoration of God's creation but then a sudden knock at her door interrupts her alone time.
