This was the first word that came to Shade's mind when he woke up on Tuesday morning.
Wedding has always been an important life ceremony, and according to the tradition of Delrayon, aristocratic weddings are even more cumbersome and complicated. Needless to say, the person getting married this time is Mona Cavendish, the princess of the Cavendish family, and
Randolph Eisberg, the second son of Duke Eisberg, is in charge of the northern garrison of the 3rd Regiment of the Royal Army of Delarian.
A Delrayon-style aristocratic wedding will last all day.
The two parties who are getting married will not meet each other in the morning. The Jodel Palace and the Eisberg family will each prepare wedding dresses and makeup for the bride and groom. This is quite a tedious matter, and no one wants to lose face here.
In the afternoon, both families invited relatives and friends to the church. Because Mr. Randolph Eisberg believed in the true God "God of War and Peace", also commonly known as "Peace Father", the wedding will be held in Tobes.
It is held at the Peace Church in Christchurch, and the entire ceremony lasts for several hours.
After the wedding ceremony, the most important and most attended process of the day will begin, that is, the Asberg family will hold a grand wedding celebration in the manor, inviting friends and relatives to enjoy today's joy together.
Getting married means starting a family, so tonight's grand wedding banquet will not be held in the Asberg family's manor, but in the couple's manor. This is a feat that can only be done by a real nobleman. Mona Ka
The manor that Vendish and Randolph Eisberg will soon use as their "home" originally belonged to another noble, but this summer the other noble was involved in a cult, and the entire family was wiped out from Delarian's noble genealogy.
go......
"Today's banquet is held at Lakeview Manor. It's such a nostalgic place... Mia, will you come with me?"
Shade said as he walked off the bed and welcomed a new day. The lazy cat stood on the bed and "meowed~", then opened its mouth wide and yawned, and closed its mouth before Shade turned around to look at it.
Mia Cat is now looking forward to breakfast in the morning more than the banquet in the evening.
According to the identities of the wedding parties, the wedding ceremony that starts tonight will probably be more lively than a garden party. The wedding celebration is different from ordinary banquets. There will be many interesting banquet games and many interesting things. Shade
I remember Lesia once mentioned that when her eldest sister got married, the wedding celebration lasted until dawn the next day.
For Shade, apart from Lesia's manuscript "Summer Night Collection", the most important thing to him is actually how to show his "wisdom", "power" and "charm".
He has already made preliminary plans, but this way, he will be very busy with this wedding.
"I wonder if the doctor and Priest August will show up. Luvia certainly won't. She has elective classes tonight."
The young stranger was not a relative of the Eisbergs, nor of the Cavendishes... at least not on the surface, so the preparations of the bride and groom this morning had nothing to do with him.
But while preparing breakfast, he could already see from the kitchen window the carriages parked at the entrance of the courtyard of Yodel Palace, as well as the different decoration of Yodel Palace from the past.
Strips of colorful ribbons were hung on the building, and the small colorful flags swayed in the thick fog with the morning breeze, adding a little brilliance to this gray era. The eunuch attendants spread the red carpet all over the building early in the morning.
Fresh flower petals, which are hard to find in early winter, are scattered everywhere on the walkway in the courtyard in front of the Palazzo delle.
Shade even saw a beautiful flower basket on the tip of a spear on the statue of a knight in the center of the courtyard.
Although King Larus III has always been strict with his children, he is definitely a good father, especially to those children who are of no use to him.
After a leisurely breakfast, Xiao Mia was left to hang out at home to eat, while Shade went to the study to continue improving his manuscript. Thinking in the study was more comfortable than in the woods in the afternoon.
The pale morning light penetrated the thick fog and shone on the desk. Shade, who was wearing a white shirt and a brown vest, felt that this era was actually not bad.
He had only been sitting in the study for half an hour when the door downstairs was opened. The noise of St. Teresa Square was briefly introduced into the room, followed by the sound of the door closing, the sound of heels tapping on the stairs, and Mia yelling in alarm.
The sound of the door on the second floor being opened.
"Shad, help me go downstairs and bring my dress up."
The voice of Miss Writer reached her ears, Dorothy raised her voice slightly and said. Standing in the living room, she saw the young gentleman with his head bowed and writing in the morning light of the study. His face was slightly red, and she had the urge to draw this scene.
Dorothy will attend the church wedding as Shad's female companion. She came to Shad's house early in the morning and planned to go to the Peace Church with him after lunch.
The blonde girl also brought her dress, which was a beautiful golden dress:
"Lecia is really fed up now."
While Dorothy was talking, she followed Shade up the stairs. She was carrying a huge bag, while Shade was holding a suitcase in one hand and another brown bag in the other:
"Lesia's sister is getting married today, why is she worried?"
Shade asked. There was a smell of smog on the suitcase and pocket in his hand. This was the smell of this city.
"According to custom, when the younger sister gets married, but the elder sister is not yet married, then the elder sister must serve as the bridesmaid at the wedding, and she is also the most important chief bridesmaid. Unfortunately, although Mona has more than one unmarried sister, Lacey
Ya’s age is the most…”
Dorothy stopped talking and looked at Shade from the top of the stairs:
"You know."
The blonde girl raised her eyebrows.
It is a custom in the Old World for an unmarried sister to serve as the chief bridesmaid. On the one hand, it is a subtle urging from the elders to get married. On the other hand, it is to wish the unmarried daughter to find a matching gentleman as soon as possible. Of course, it is also because the chief bridesmaid will receive more attention.
Weddings are also a great place for blind dates.
"What is Lesia doing now?"
Shade asked. Because the pocket in his hand was very big, he was always worried about accidentally stepping on the cat under his feet when going up the stairs.
"Make up and prepare the dress, and then go to send blessings to Mona. Then according to the rules of the Cavendish family, she has a lot to do this morning. The bride is more leisurely than she is. The bride only needs to wait for her makeup
That’s fine.”
Shade lifted Dorothy's dress to lie on her side and put it on her side. Including makeup time, it would take Dorothy at least an hour to put on this dress, so they would have lunch early today.
"What gifts are you going to bring to the wedding banquet at Lakeview Manor tonight?"
After Dorothy sat down on the sofa, Shade asked curiously.
The blonde girl pointed to the makeup box she brought over:
"Inside, there is a copy of "Hamilton's Detective Stories" signed by me, and there is a blessing written by myself on the cover."
Although a book is not valuable, at least not to a princess, this book is popular nowadays and has the blessing of the author, so it is perfect as a wedding gift.
"So Shade, what have you prepared? Oh, I saw it in the newspaper. Yesterday morning, you gave Margaret Anjou a beautiful gem at the train station."
said Dorothy, wagging her fingers in the air:
"Such a generous knight, what have you prepared for the wedding?"
Shade knew that she was teasing him, so he reached out and took out a small box:
"A ruby, I bought it yesterday before leaving Fort Midhill."
In fact, Grandma Cassandra heard that Shad needed a gift, so she gave him a piece of money, and insisted that Shad not give him any money.
Inside the small round gold-plated box was a heart-shaped ruby. Shade opened it and showed it to Dorothy. The writer's pupils shrank slightly, and then she said reservedly:
"It's beautiful, but you need to see this."
Dorothy opened the metal folding multi-layer makeup box in the suitcase, took out a red jewelry box and handed it to Shade:
"Lecia prepared this for you and asked you to give this as a gift."
Inside the red jewelry box lie two teardrop-shaped sapphire earrings, outlined with pure gold frames. Of course, although they look quite beautiful, from the jewelry appraisal perspective of the ring magicians, they are not at all comparable to Shade's piece.
ruby.
Shade held the box in surprise:
"Lecia actually helped me prepare it?"
Dorothy showed a faint smile:
"This gem cannot compare to the ruby earrings you gave to Lesia (Chapter 384). Yes, it is the rhombus-shaped diamond."
She pretended not to care as she spoke, then turned her head to look at the morning light outside the window. Then she pointed her ear towards Shade, and raised her right hand as if unconsciously, touching her empty ear.
【She is giving you hints.】
"She" reminded softly.
Shade also understood the hint and coughed:
"Then, Dorothy, I will give away the gift that Lesia prepared. As for the ruby I bought from Fort Midhill, just..."
He opened the gilded round box again and handed it to Dorothy. The blonde girl tried her best to control her smile and turned her head, but her eyes still showed her uncontrollable mood:
"This is not okay, knight, how can I accept your gift casually?"
He speaks in a serious manner, like a character in an opera speaking.
Shade thought for a while:
"Oh, blonde, would you like to dance with me at the wedding party?"
"Of course, yes, knight, of course."
Dorothy looked at him, blinked, and waited expectantly for the next sentence.
So Shade said the sentence that the writer was looking forward to:
"Beautiful girl, this will be my gift to you after the dance."
Dorothy couldn't control the smile on her face.
