Valerie had never been this nervous before. She thought she would be the most relaxed person in all of this. It's just an ordinary wedding. Almost everyone experienced it, whether noble or not.
But she noticed that her face was a little pale at the moment, luckily she was still wearing makeup so her anxiety wasn't too obvious. She trembled as she took her father Arthur Dubois by the hand towards the altar. The Dubois family was not affiliated to any particular religion, they were arguably agnostics. But the Chastains worshiped the Goddess Demeter. That's because Demetria's cursed weapon has been passed down from generation to generation by their family.
Valerie didn't understand, why would a vampire worship the Goddess of fertility? They eat neither cattle nor wheat. But Marchioness also explained that if their land was fertile and blessed, it means it was a gift for humans and animals. Healthy and happy humans and animals would give good blood to the vampire nation.
