As the weather got warmer, the budding flowers sprouted. The fresh green leaves and soft spring breeze made her smile and forget all her worries. She was happy that the weather was nice, but she was ecstatic for another reason too. Today was her special day. She had a smile on her face all day.

This was the day of her wedding.

"You feel that good?" asked Yulia, who was also smiling.

"Yeah. I feel great," said Siana.

The translucent veil which had been laced on Siana's head gently fluttered in the wind.

Yulia asked her, who couldn't stop smiling.

Siana nodded fervently at her question. The translucent white veil, which had been put on her head a few minutes ago, gently fluttered. "The very first letter I sent you on my wedding," said Yulia, "You were indifferent."

"Well, yes, at that time, I was," said Siana, "But, you were so nervous about getting married."

"Well, I was tired when preparing for it," said Yulia, "But now that we are here, I am so excited for you."

Siana blushed. "Do you remember when I asked you to catch my bouquet?"

"I remember a little but not so much," said Siana.

"You said you didn't want it because you never wanted to get married," said Yulia, chuckling.

"Oh, I remember now," said Siana.

"I thought you will be alone forever, but seeing you now, I feel so happy for you," said Yulia, "Life can be so unpredictable."

"That is true," said Siana trying to avoid Yulia's gaze. She felt ashamed of hearing those words thrown back at her.

"Anyway, I am so glad you are happy," said Yulia, 'Your dress and bouquet are so bright and pretty!"

"I chose these with Alan," said Siana.

"I knew it even before you told me," said Yulia, "There is no way Alan wouldn't have accompanied you. He is totally moon-eyed over you."

Siana smiled as she admired her dress in the mirror and the bouquet in her hands. When she touched the dress with the gloves on her hands, they felt so soft and fluffy. Everything felt nice and pretty.

"I envy you. My husband didn't follow me, so my mother and sister-in-law helped me choose my dress," said Yulia.

"What? He didn't follow you?" asked Siana.

"It was the harvest season of all time," said Yulia, "So, he was very busy with everything."

"So, he's not here with you today either?" asked Siana, staring at the back of Yulia's head.

Yulia had always arrived at the capital alone. Maybe because Siana had never seen Yulia with her husband before, she almost she had one.

"Oh, we did come together," said Yulia, "We had to come together no matter what because it's the wedding of my closest friend. I just told him I had to come and see if you were prepared. My husband's probably at the front door." Yulia looked at her. "Seems like you haven't seen my husband in a long time."

"You're right," said Siana, "I saw him just once during your wedding and haven't seen him since then." Siana racked her brain to recall what he looked like. I remember him leaving quite a good impression, thought Siana.

She tried very hard to remember Yulia's wedding. She wrinkled her brow in effort. Yulia poked her on her arm.

"Anyway, tell me the aftermath of the Viscount North situation," said Yulia.
