" Daughter, look how beautiful you are! You are the most beautiful bride in the whole world! There is no girl who can exceed your extraordinary face than anyone. Are you happy, honey? " asked Cattarina's mother with a smile full of affection.
Monna returned the smile gently.
" Yes mom. I'm happy, " said Monna without showing any depressed expression that she actually felt deep down.
Her marriage to Belhart was perhaps quite as lively as Cattarina had hoped for. But now, the marriage is no longer a happy thing for her.
Her thought about herself, who couldn't step back again to change her decision, made Cattarina feel very burdened.
Don't care about good looks and skills that the Crown Prince has in this situation. Cattarina who now didn't have any feelings for him, could only step beautifully to the front of the wedding reception without making any worrying expressions.
After saying several oaths and promises to always be loyal and uphold the state, Cattarina and Belhart officially became husband and wife in front of their entire family and people of Geraldy.
The man who was like a magnet for everyone, never stopped getting a series of compliments from all around. Even though Cattarina also got some praise for herself, that didn't necessarily make her puffed up.
Now she doesn't care what people think about her appearance and her luck about getting the best man in Geraldy Country. She just wanted this marriage to pass quickly and without any obstacles.
Even if necessary she wanted time to run very fast until the time she was waiting for. That is, the day her divorce will occur less than a year from now.
Maybe Monna was the first woman to think about divorce on her own wedding day.
While thinking about all these possibilities, Cattarina, who was currently standing still where she was, caught someone coming.
" What a glory to the extraordinary Crown Prince and Princess Geraldy. I, Barron Neil Rudwig, congratulate the bride and groom on this day. May peace always accompany the country and everything in it, " said a knight of high rank to Cattarina and Belhart simultaneously as he stepped forward to give his greetings.
Monna was surprised and watched the man closely. Barron Neil Rudwig?
Knight Chief of the royal guard. A male supporter who loves Alliesia unilaterally and always protects her from behind.
Faithful to the empire and a rigid person. As well as being appointed from the common people to become a knight that is the pride of the king because of his abilities. He even always put the safety of others above his own.
A character with all perfection second only to the Crown Prince as the main male character in the novel.
And based on all the descriptions of the characters she remembers, is it true that the man in front of her is Barron Neil Rudwig now ??! The person who will be the most at odds with him other than the Crown Prince to spare Alliesia from him?
Monna's head suddenly got dizzy. She almost fell on her knees just as she was about to get up to greet Neil, if Belhart hadn't swiftly reached her.
With Belhart's unpredictable attitude, Monna is finally able to start controlling herself better. She stood up gracefully again.
Even though she didn't understand why the Chief Knights of the Imperial Guard suddenly came to her and congratulated her. Considering that shouldn't happen in her memories in the future, Monna didn't necessarily turn cold towards Barron Neil.
Yes, there were some parts in the wedding ceremony that took place differently from what was in her memory. For example, Belhart's change of attitude was cooperative and his complete presence from the beginning to the end of the wedding ceremony took place.
If based on her future memories and the storyline in the novel, Belhart will only be present temporarily at the wedding. And he just walked away in the middle of an wedding event for something urgent.
But let alone wait until the blessing is over and all the guests enjoy the party so that he can run away from the event, Belhart has faithfully sat on his wedding chair without complaining.
By not saying to much and only staring at Cattarina once in a while, Belhart never wanted to leave the event that he had never really enjoyed before.
And the appearance of Neil Rudwig was clearly unlikely because he was the reason why the Crown Prince left Cattarina alone on the wedding day at that time.
There was one of the troops in his flock who made a scene at their base camp. That's why, when Neil's side reported this to the Crown Prince, the man immediately rushed to leave and ignored her.
So what is this? It was as if it was not in the original story and now the troublemaker has come here to wish her a happy wedding? Things that had never even happened when she had been married to the Crown Prince in the past for quite a long time.
Cattarina and Neil used to rarely communicate. If it weren't for some important and dealing with each other, Neil wouldn't have spoken to her. Never mind talking, even looking at Cattarina's face Neil is reluctant, let alone have to be friendly with her?
And look now, didn't the presence of that man give rise to Cattarina's speculation about their second play which was clearly lying at the time saying there was some kind of fight in their basecamp area?
Even though Monna herself doesn't know why the Crown Prince didn't use that excuse to leave the wedding that was bothering her, Monna was forced to only roll her eyes lazily.
Too many events changed as Monna spent her days as Cattarina.
He began to doubt her own memories of all the events she had ever experienced. Everything seems to be happening with new things that are inappropriate and unexpected.
Once again. No matter how and why all these changes could occur, Monna chose to be polite to him.
