Chapter 301: The Condition of Her Body
As a new day dawned, Nikolai and Mineah busied themselves with the preparations for Zoran and Dahlia’s simple yet elegant wedding. It was also the first time Laura would exercise her position as the Minister of Justice to personally be an officiant for the civil wedding.
Nikolai designated the Scorpius Residence, which was within the majestic Corvus Palace to Dahlia, who would reside with Zoran once they were married. The Scorpius Residence was strictly guarded though, as Zoran was still technically under observation. While Nikolai trusted Zoran, he had to appease the court officials who believed that Zoran was nothing but a threat given his past entanglements with the Demon King.
"Isn’t it fascinating how we were just discussing marriages yesterday, and today we’re witnessing another beautiful marriage?" Mineah mused, her voice tinged with excitement, as she carefully selected a dress from her extensive walk-in closet.
"Well, if I were in their shoes, I would probably do the same thing. In fact, I would’ve done it way earlier. Time is gold for them," Nikolai commented, his eyes tracing every graceful move Mineah made as she went about selecting her attire. He lounged comfortably in a nearby chair, clearly in no hurry.
"Why are you here wasting your time watching me? Aren’t you going to change?" Mineah asked.
"Why rush when I can enjoy this exquisite sight right here?" he replied playfully. The dimming light of the day seemed to accentuate the aura of elegance and grace that surrounded her.
Mineah couldn’t help but snort at his comment. It was already getting dark and they had just returned after finishing their respective duties in the kingdom. Mineah wanted to change as she had been wearing the same dress since morning. Despite the cold winter weather outside, her body felt sticky, which honestly wasn’t new anymore. She couldn’t understand why her body was like that. She was sweating despite the cold temperature.
"Also, I thought you might need some help in changing. I guess, I’m already used to being your hand servant, my Queen." Nikolai teased as he stood up and helped her look for a dress for her.
"How about you wear this one? Simple yet elegant," Nikolai commented as he picked up an emerald dress. "I will prepare a bath. Let’s have a quick shower. We still have time before the ceremony anyway."
