Chapter 447: Wedding panic is only a thing for the committee
Do you know the feeling of standing outside a burning house while everyone else is busy putting off the fire?
My wedding was kind of like that.
I mean, aside from feeling depressed and lovesick, I had nothing to do even though everyone was very busy. All day, I heard people coming in with supplies, and the golems going around the tower and the garden to prepare the venue; both for the ceremony up there and the garden banquet down there.
All the demons were busy giving instructions, even Zia, who was in charge of the garden banquet below. Angwi was readying the bedroom guests and double-cleaning the Lair from top to bottom. Doun, as our gardener, had been tending to all the flowers and the plants with extra care, and the twins were patrolling the place more often. Even the keeper had been cleaning Vrida and made sure my wyvern looked pretty; scales shining and horns gleaming, the whole thing.
Me? I was sipping tea on the balcony watching everyone do their work.
Oh, and it was a different kind of tea from my usual. It was sent among the gifts that same through the second batch from the Realm of Lust. Zia said it had a beautifying effect or something, make our skin glowing and moisturize or whatever. I wondered if it was a skincare product or a drink, but hey--who doesn’t want to get prettier?
That was my only job in this whole thing, really; to stay pretty. A masseuse came once every three days for the past two weeks to take care of me, and the servants that usually served me in the Lord’s quarters, including Panne and Mara--you know, the ones hand-picked and scrutinized strictly by Natha--came on the last day to help me get ready for the ceremony tomorrow.
Yep. Tomorrow.
"Are you nervous, Young Master?" Mara asked while spreading a blanket on my lap. From her expression, I could see that she was more curious than concerned.
"Hmm...I don’t know..." I looked down at my chest which had been a bit restless these days. "I don’t think I’m nervous, but..." I let out a sigh and leaned back to curl on the hanging sofa. "I just want to be with Natha soon."
Mara chuckled and gave me a fork with a piece of fruit in it. It had been a while since I had been pampered by servants so it was quite nice--especially because I was in the mood of being pampered and indulged with Natha’s absence.
