Chapter 173: Newly weds
Music Recommendation: Always - Peder B

Out of all her grandchildren, the Mother Queen knew this particular one needed to fix herself before she became irreparable. "I suspect that’s the only thing you have done, and Anastasia has never received a sincere apology from you," she added, causing the princess’s eyes to widen at the precarious position she found herself in. She turned to look at the newly wed couple.
Anastasia placed her hands on her cheeks when she saw Dante looking at her questioningly. She whispered, "My cheeks are aching from all the smiling." The thought of them being husband and wife filled Anastasia’s mind with a delightful sense of giddiness.
A small frown appeared on Dante’s face, and he said, "Don’t smile that much." But his words only made her smile even wider.
Anastasia leaned closer to Dante and responded, "I cannot help it."
Dante then slipped his hand into hers and proposed, "Let us leave this place."
"Now?" Anastasia asked. She noticed Dante smile before they left the corridor, accompanied by four other individuals. When they reached the stairs, she said, "Wait."
It was because Anastasia found it challenging to climb the stairs due to her wedding gown preventing her from placing her feet properly on the steps. As she prepared to lift the front of her dress, Dante said, "I think I have a better idea."
Upon hearing those words, Anastasia felt herself being lifted by Dante’s strong arms, and she quickly wrapped her hands around his neck for support. She reminded him, "There are still guests around us, Dante."
"I don’t see them. All I see is you," Dante replied, causing her smile to widen even further.
