Chapter 79
“Oh my, young lady! You’re so beautiful!”
Laga, who had just placed a silver tiara on Liv’s head, stepped back in admiration. The tiara blended naturally with Liv’s hair, making her look as if she had been born wearing it.
Liv was now preparing for the wedding at the Lartman mansion. She could have prepared at the Hamelsvoort house, but Liv felt more comfortable at the Lartman ducal residence.
Liv’s reflection in the mirror was dazzling. Her pure white dress was densely studded with diamonds, and the silver tiara and white veil gave her a sacred aura. Only the ruby necklace around her neck, along with her eyes, showed any red. Perhaps because she was so white, Liv’s image in the mirror looked like someone who might disappear at any moment.
Pulling back the curtain and glancing out the window, she could see the splendidly decorated garden. The wedding ceremony was scheduled to take place there today.
“Now then, young lady. You just need to sit and wait. When it’s time, a servant will come to tell you to come out.”
“Alright.”
“If you need anything, just ask right away. Don’t move around on your own and risk messing up your appearance!”
Following Laga’s guidance, Liv sat down on a large sofa placed in a room on the first floor. Suddenly remembering Emmett, she asked:
“Is the Duke preparing too?”
“The Duke will be greeting people outside. And traditionally, the groom shouldn’t see the bride’s prepared appearance right before the wedding.”
“Hmm, I see.”
