The day Nadia left for the North was in a bright morning.
It was truly a sight to see as so many carriages lined up. Most of them were wagons carrying the dowry of the bride, even those Winterfell people, who were not a fan of the Ballajit Family, had no choice but to speak out about the size of the dowry.
The youngest of the Knights, Fabian, admire the endless lined up of the carts.
“I knew they were from a rich family, but still, it amazed me.”
“tsk, but it’s a dowry that squeezed the people’s bloodshed.”
“I thought they wouldn’t pay a single penny to their enemy.”
“It must be that they don’t want to let their daughter marry empty-handed. Moreover, the dowry is traditionally the property of the hostess. How do we know if the Duke will give us money to support our estate or spend it on something else?”
It was when the two knights having a conversation about dowry, when Glenn Winterfell, the Marquis of Winterfell, dressed as a captain, appeared with a horse.
It was Fabian who noticed him and greeted first.
“Ah! You are here, Marquis!”
“How about the Duke?”
“Looks like he hasn’t arrived yet… Uh, They will come in a minute or so.”
Through the North gate of the fortress wall, a carriage engraved with the Ballajit Household pattern appeared.
As if to show the status of a high-ranking Duke, it was as splendid as that of the Royal Family.
Eventually, the carriage stopped a little further away.
Duke Ballajit came down from the carriage first – Glenn’s expression crumpled at the moment – and then the bride in question, Nadia, appeared.
It was fortunate that there was no trace of her father's features on her, which would be considered beautiful by anyone. It seems that she resembles her mother, who was a commoners.
As soon as the soon-to-be bride set foot on the ground, she began to look around.
she looked like she was looking for her groom. Not surprisingly, a bright smile appeared on her face when she found Glenn.
“Glenn!”
He screams echoed and run like a puppy to him. She hugs him immediately.
Nadia looked up and asked, “Did you wait long?”
“No, I just came. I’d rather go a little ahead of time.”
“Ah… .”
Nadia took a couple of steps back as the hand pushed her away.
She walks away from Glenn and looks up with her eyes wide open. Eyes filled with sadness as if in shock.
“… .”
“… .”
This woman … Why is she looking at him with those eyes?
Glenn had to wrinkle his face with some sense of guilt.
What… It feels like a tangled brown cat has been pushed away. A little brown cat looking up at him with a shocked face.
It seemed that Glenn wasn’t the only one who thought so, and even the two knights standing next to him looked embarrassed.
In the midst of an awkward atmosphere, Duke Ballajit’s voice broke the silence.
“Nadia, didn't you see this father? haha.”
