Chapter 428: Wedding Present
“Have you eaten anything? Actually, that’s a very stupid question. I know that you haven’t really eaten anything because you haven’t had the time, right?” the Duchess asked knowingly.
Although I didn’t want to admit it because I didn’t want to be an inconvenience to anyone, the Duchess was spot on correct that I hadn’t had the time or the opportunity to eat anything. The day had been so busy from early in the morning up until the evening, and everything seemed more important than filling my own stomach.
“It’s fine, I’ll make sure to eat something when this reception is over,” I told her reassuringly before offering her a smile. Duchess Flavia only gave me a disapproving glare before shaking her head from side to side.
“You look like you’re about to faint. It’s like I can see your face go pale even with all the makeup,” she said as she brought her face closer to mine to get a closer look at me.
“I’m feeling fine,” I told her while I tried to convince myself that I wasn’t feeling light-headed.
“Are you feeling alright, Mila? If you’re tired, we can take a rest,” Prince Leonard quickly offered.
“I’m fine, really. There are so many guests that want to congratulate us on our wedding,” I pointed out before trying my best to maintain my smile. The prince did not look convinced as he exchanged knowing glances with the Duchess. Just when I took a few steps towards the prince, it felt like the world was spinning around me and the ground suddenly became unstable. I closed my eyes as a wave of dizziness took over me, and then I had a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach.
“Mila! Are you all right?” Prince Leonard asked, sounding quite panicked. I felt his arm around my waist and on my arm as he supported my body.
“Let’s take her somewhere where she can rest,” Duchess Flavia quickly suggested.
