Chapter 44 : Their Circumstances
—————————————————
"Ah that's right. When Ken-san got married, they celebrated it by holding a wedding ceremony. Do you want to have a wedding ceremony too, Ren-chan?~"
"Eh? I'm a man! I never had any desire to do such thing!"
Wedding ceremony..
I didn't know whether people in Alsar would wore a wedding dress or suit during their wedding reception.
But.. If they were..
No matter how I think about it, won't I be the one that had to wear a dress?!
After all my partner was these three ikemen! Look at them! And then look at me!
It was obvious I would be the one that had to wear a dress!
"Back in your previous world, is there anything specific that people need to follow before marriage?" Fer-san asked.
"Umm.. Usually the man need to come to the women's house and asked for her parent's blessing for their marriage. After that they need to tell their close relatives and friends. I don't really know if there's anything specific for women aside from that. Especially for same sex couple. Same sex couple is already rare back in Japan so I don't know if there's some sort of procedure that they need to follow or not."
That was all I knew.
I've never attended any wedding ceremony back in Japan before so my knowledge was only to that extend.
"Hmm~ In Alsar, usually only the royalties that have a wedding ceremony. Ah!~ Isn't Fer a royalty?"
"Yes, but I've renounced my rights to the throne. Well, I have 4 older brothers and the eldest, Lucien-aniue which is the crown prince, was already married but I was out of country when Lucien-anieue was about to get married so I didn't attend the ceremony. The second oldest one is Eduardo-aniue but he's not married yet, same with Lily. As for me, I never had any intention to marry before I met Ren-kun so I never had any need to look up the wedding ceremony procedure before."
If I wasn't wrong, Mr.Edo was 35 years old and Princess Lily was 17 years old.
Also, Ms.Lily's mother was an other-worlder like me.. Her name was Mrs.Manami or something.
Ah I wanted to try and meet her but.. Seemed like it was going to be hard for a commoner like me to meet with a royalty like her.
"Umm.. What does Mrs.Manami looks like? I mean, I never meet any other-worlder before so I'm curious to know what kind of person she is."
"Mrs.Manami.. She's..a little hard to describe. How about if we go and meet with her after we got married? I also want to introduce Ren-kun to my father, my mother and to mother Esther as well."
Hm? Fer-san's father was the king so that meant his mother would be the queen but who was this 'mother Eshter'?
"Who is mother Esther?"
"Ah yes, my mother is the one that gave birth to me. Her name's Sophia and mother Esther is my father's second wife. She loved me as if I was her own child so I called her mother Esther. My mother gave birth to the first and second prince. I'm her last son, the fifth prince. Mother Esther gave birth to the first princess, third prince and the fourth prince. The two of them are very close with each other."
I see.
Mr.Eduardo did tell me that the king had three wives.
"And Mrs.Manami, she's my father's third wife. They got married when I was already 9 years old. She's only 13 years older than me which makes her only 3 years older than my eldest, Lucien-aniue so all of us brothers call her Mrs.Manami."
