The royal staff, wearing formal burgundy velvet vest and black pants uniforms, served assorted horderves as appetizers together with some cocktail drinks to the guests.
In the meantime, this was the opportunity for the guests to socialize with the others before dinner was served. Many formed groups according to their interest, either in business or politics, among other things.
"Congratulations to the proud parents." A loud voice suddenly joined the group, consisting of the groom's parents, the bride's parents, and several other guests.
The group turned to the source. But the duke had already recognized the voice even if he had his back turned to the man. He was indeed expecting his arrival soon enough.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Laura, who was facing the newcomer, vowed her head as a show of respect to their guest. Katherine also simultaneously greeted her brother-in-law once she saw him.
