âOh my God! Lady Selesina, you look terribleâŚâŚ.â
Â
That was the first thing Hisui said to me in the morning.
Â
âI know. Itâs okay, I can manage my face with makeup.â
ââŚâŚâ
Â
The groggy-looking Selesina couldnât sleep at all and couldnât hide it.
Itâs now seven oâclock in the morning, and there is no time for sleep anymore as the wedding preparations must begin immediately.
Â
Hisui looked at Selesina with a troubled face but prepared a wet towel to cool her eyes.
Â
âHave you been so nervous that you couldnât sleep?â
âHmmmâŚâŚ nervous, or maybe I was just thinking about the blessing?â
âHuh?â
Â
When Selesina spoke honestly about the reason, a lower voice than usual came out of Hisui. When I looked at Hisuiâs face, I saw that he was smiling and angry at the same time, usually not doing such a sound.
Â
âToday is Lady Selesinaâs important wedding, you know? If you canât sleep because youâre nervous, okay, but whatâs the point of not being able to sleep because youâre thinking about your blessingâŚâŚâ
Â
Hisui showed his sigh without any reservation.
Â
(You donât have to sigh like thatâŚ)
Â
Iâm going to cry again.
However, the next words from Hisui lightened Selesinaâs heart.
Â
âYou can live your life the way you want. No matter what happens, Toi and I will always be together with you and show you the way. With your blessing, you can do anything. If you didnât have that power, you wouldnât be in this world anymore.â
âWhat?â
âSo, I think you should live your life as you wish.â
Â
Hisui laughed as he said that.
***
The wedding ceremony of Selesina and Lucaria will take place in front of the Great Tree in the Great Temple. Afterward, the ceremony will be moved to the prayer room, where a simple meal will be served.
The wedding ceremony will be closed to the public, but the prayer room will be open to the public.
Â
Selesina, who hadnât slept at all, was beautifully made up and looked like a beautiful bride. Nobody could see that she had been up all night.
The wedding ceremony at the temple will be held in a wedding dress and a white tuxedo, embroidered with a large tree and a little vestments design.
Selesinaâs wedding dress has beautiful layers of lace and slender lines that accentuate her figure.
Â
âYou look beautiful, Lady Selesina.â
âThank you. You look very nice too, Lord Lucaria.
ââŚâŚThis is so embarrassing.â
Â
Hearing Selesinaâs words, Lucaria smiled and stained his cheeks.
Soon, the wedding ceremony would begin.
Â
Chairs for the attendees were placed around the big tree.
The kings and princes of various countries were lined up there, and of course, among them was Soratek.
The entire family of Selesina has also rushed to be here, and it seems that Anna and Odette have also come with them.
Â
ââŚâŚHuh?â
Â
And then I looked around for another person I know, butâŚâŚ he wasnât there.
Â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Â
âUhmm⌠I was just wondering where Hel is.â[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the âNovel Multiverse dot comâ website @ novelmultiverse.com]
ââŚâŚRight. There are a lot of people here today, so the first thing I did in the morning was to bring Hel here.â
Â
Lucariaâs expression was somehow sad.
Â
(He hates it when his family doesnât attend his weddingâŚâŚ.)
Â
When I checked my watch, we still had about fifteen minutes before the entrance.
Â
âLetâs go and find him!â
âWhat?â
âItâs not nice to be married without your family watching over you.â
âThank you for your concern, Lady Selesina.â
Â
Lucaria nodded, and Selesina hurried off to find Hel. Of course, she had the help of Lucariaâs entourage and any priests and priestesses who were available.
Â
I looked around the area that was not open to the public and the garden, thinking that he probably wouldnât be in a place where people were, butâŚâŚ Hel was nowhere to be found.
Â
(I even opened up the shelves to see if there were any shelves he could hide behindâŚâŚ!)
Â
âHa, ha,âŚâŚ where did you go, Hel! â Oh.â
Â
Out of breath, they split up to search. There was only one more place that came to my mind and hadnât looked for yet. The lower ranking priests and priestesses probably didnât even know this place existed: Helâs room in the basement.
Â
Looking at my watch, Iâll have just enough time to get there and back.
Â
(But Hel is the only family member of Lord LucariaâŚâŚ)
Â
Trying to tolerate the slight delay, Selesina hurried to the basement where Hel might be.
Â
As it was just before the ceremony, the prayer room leading to the basement was empty. However, the preparations were done and there was a good smell of food.
Relieved that no one was there, Selesina hurried down to the basement.
Â
After a short walk, she heard voices talking.
Â
(- Itâs Helâs and Lucariaâs voice!)
Â
Apparently, Lucaria had come to the same conclusion as Selesina and had come to Helâs room too.
Â
(Well, this is the only place where to find him. But if thatâs the case, maybe I should leave this to Lucaria and go back first.)
Â
I was about to turn back when, as expected, my foot hit a stone on the ground and made a small thud.
If this had been inside the Great Temple, no one would have noticed. But here, in the quiet underground, there was no one but Selesina and the others. It was impossible not to be noticed.
Â
âHey!â
âWho is it?â
Â
Helâs anxious breathing and Lucariaâs voice asking in an informal way. She was wearing a wedding dress, and it would be impossible for her to escape without revealing herself.
Â
Selesina had no choice but to appear in front of them.
Â
âItâs meâŚâŚ.â
Â
âLady Selesina, what brings you hereâŚ.. oh right, youâve come to find Hel. Thank you.â
Â
Lucaria seemed surprised that Selesina knew about this room, but he glanced over to Hel, who was hiding in bed and took a breath. He must have come to the conclusion that Hel had told her.
Â
âWhat, Selesina? I hid because I thought a stranger had arrived.â
Â
Selesina laughed at Helâs words.
Â
âThe wedding is about to start, would you like to come upstairs with us?â
Â
âOh,âŚâŚ thatâs right, you have to be thereâŚâŚ.â
Â
When Selesina called him, Hel reluctantly got out of bed.
Â
âThe weddingâŚâŚ is an event too tough for my shyness. Maybe just a little bitâŚâŚâ
âYes. I would be very happy if you could attend, even if only for a little while.â
âThank you, Hel. Iâm glad you can join us.â
Â
At this moment, Selesina didnât notice that Hel was looking a little pained, because Lucaria looked so happy.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the âNovel Multiverse dot comâ website @ novelmultiverse.com]
