Chapter 44
“Your majesty . ”
“Castell?!”
I looked at Castell who was smiling in front of me absolutely stunned . Castell bowed as he smiled . He then looked at me and said: “Your majesty, it looks like you are very busy . We arrived last night but I did not see you . Miss Freya said that you were very busy so I came to see you during the day . ”
My face went red . You wouldn’t be wrong if you said I’ve been very busy every night recently…… mainly because of Nier’s need . I ran away from Nier last night, saying that I needed to go and see mom when I actually went to comfort Luna…… I genuinely feel that I’m the most useless dimensional traveller . Others who dimensional travel are prominent overpowered figures, beating people to a pulp and surrounded with countless beauties glued to them . I’m the only one who has to betray his body to keep his life and career intact!
How is my life so miserable?! Did I really dimensional travel here?! I’m so miserable that I have to betray my body…… I’m a guy! I’m a guy!
I sent Luna off today . I assigned a Valkyrie and an imperial guard team-captain to guard her for her safety . There shouldn’t be any problems . I also sneakily handed the necklace to Luna so that Vyvyan could immediately come to her rescue when she was in danger . Even if Vyvyan gets mad and goes berserk, I just have to give her hugs and kisses and we’re good .
Most importantly though, I won’t let Luna meet with mishap .
When I came back, I saw Castell . I was still lingering . What looks perfectly normal is completely abnormal when it happens here . Castell shouldn’t be here right now . He should’ve already returned to the royal capital to handle matters in place of the empress, but here he is in front of me now . Did he dimensional travel or did I dimensional travel?
“You look very surprised…… Your expression makes me wonder if I have done something wrong…… But is it not normal for me to be here? Or am I not welcome to your wedding?” Castell chuckled and then continued, “Your wedding is coming up . I brought the major ministers here because her majesty invited us . What is the matter, your majesty? Are you not supposed to be happy right now?”
“Ah yeah… . my wedding… yeah . ”
Honestly, I almost forgot about that…… Too many things happened recently . My two wives have behaved themselves too . Neither of them rushed me since I told them that I would marry them once I was done with work . But I almost forgot about it…… Our life right now is the same as married-life after all……
“You did not almost forget about it, did you? That is not good, your majesty . Your wedding is important to the princess, her majesty and you as well . Of course, please excuse my rudeness, but your wedding is very important to me too . ”
Castell made a small bow . He then raised his head and spoke with a smile, “Her majesty has never held a wedding before after all . You will be the first person in the empire to receive the blessings of the entire empire . As such, the news of your marriage has already shocked all the vassal states . Their gifts are already on their way . I believe they will soon arrive . They have also arranged for large groups of representatives to come . They will join the hunting festival in spring . ”
I felt my head go numb . It’s just a wedding so what are they doing treating it like it’s the empress’s birthday like last time……? Actually, they’re making it grander than the empress’s birthday . It looks like the empire’s first wedding really is a grandeur event…… However, I’ve never seen such a large-scale parade . All of the vassal states… doesn’t that mean half of the continent… . ? Ah, wait, the elves are counted too! So in other words, everybody on the continent is paying attention to my wedding .
I used to only care if I had a girlfriend or not and yet the entire continent was called on just because I’m getting married! Such a grand event is freaking scary . Wait . I don’t know what it’s like since it’s on a scale I’ve never witnessed .
“Therefore your majesty, please look forward to your wedding . Her majesty initially wanted to plan your wedding herself, but you delayed it over and over again so her majesty got impatient . She therefore chose a day but it does not sound like she has told you . Is there something bothering you?”
Castell smiled . His smile carried a sense of proudness he had for himself as well as flaunting himself . It looks like he was the one who made most of the plans for my wedding . But since he was able to be the one to plan my wedding, it indicates the degree of trust he empress has for him . Was he showing off his competence to me or was he trying to show off how much he was trusted?
I shook my head and then asked: “Nothing really…… It was mainly because I was too absorbed in my work . I would’ve forgotten if you didn’t remind me . But this is fine . I too feel that this can’t be delayed any further . I’m kind of letting Nier down . Oh, right, is Nier’s wedding dress ready?”
“Of course it is . I promise that it will definitely be captivating because there are diamonds all over it! The empress had the crown made according to her own crown’s standards . ” Castell nodded proudly and continued, “You could buy a small nation with Miss Nier’s clothes . As the princess of the empire, she naturally needs to show off her most extravagant and best side at her wedding . It looks like you are very surprised, your majesty . It is alright, it is alright . It is but a simple matter for us to make such a wedding dress given the empire’s treasury . ”
“No… I was just thinking that… only Nier would be able to wear that dress……” I pressed my palm onto my forehead and sighed . I couldn’t help but grin . How heavy would all that be……? Not even mom was willing to wear her crown . Lucia wouldn’t even be able to move if she wore it .
I feel sorry for you Nier .
Lucia’s wedding dress looks better . I really did see creatures like fireflies fly around following Lucia’s wedding dress like a small elf clearing trees out . Lucia’s wedding dress was very exquisite and filled with mana . So humanity who fitted Nier’s dress with luxurious gems… it feels a little low-class .
But it doesn’t matter since humanity brought out their best just like the elves .
Castell nodded and then said with a smile: “I need not say anymore then, your majesty . If I say anymore, I will have revealed too much . Your majesty, please look forward to your wedding . And one more thing your majesty . Though work is certainly important, you must spare more time for your wife and mother, your majesty . Her majesty’s mood has been slightly strange recently . I hope you can go and see her . ”
“Ah, alright . Thank you, Castell . Oh, and also, don’t you have a wife?”
“No . ” Castell made a short pause and then looked at me to say, “I do not have a wife . I have always been looking after her majesty . I am not interested either . But you need not worry . I do have a woman I like . ”
“Yeah……?”
I scanned Castell . He is a talented person and is the empress’s valued minister . Given his status, there would definitely be a mass of women rushing over if he were to say he wanted to get married, right? But why is he still single? Wait . Is it a one-sided love?
Well, whatever, I hope it works out for him . As someone who’s about to get married, I feel like I want to make everyone happy . I hope Castell can be happy too .
Castell bowed with a smile and watched his majesty leave . He turned around and took out a gold coin from his pocket . He looked at the empress’s face on it and chuckled softly . He then placed it back into his pocket and left .
