Year 844, Hachitsu 25th

Palace of the Third Prince, Ryūthor Kingdom

It is the wedding day of the Third Prince of the Ryūthor Kingdom, the 15th day from the day that the decree had been announced.

The Palace was decorated with lots of flowers and lamps that it was colourful. All the servants and maids in the Palace were too excited for this day and had been working hard for the past 15 days to decorate the Palace in grandeur.

The concubines of the Third Prince, Violet and Hazel have been very careful with all the arrangements made in the Palace. They were overlooking all the decorations for this very important day.

Violet and Hazel were not allowed to come to the wedding venue, so they were clad in a dress that's worn for occasions but refrained from wearing any jewellery. They had to welcome the Third Prince's wife ceremonially when they arrive later.

The Third Prince, Rydon, was wearing a dark brown coloured pant for his wedding. His scabbard was fastened to his sword belt. His hair was neatly combed back. He wore a golden robe for the nuptials.

Once he got ready, he came down the stairs.

Advisor Jacob had been waiting in the living room. Once he saw the Third Prince coming down, he stood up. He then asked, "Shall we leave, Your Highness?"

"Yes," said Rydon and walked out of the Palace with Advisor Jacob.

Breakfast was not served, as the bride and groom had to fast on the wedding day. They can dine only after the wedding.

Rydon and Advisor Jacob each mounted their horses and left for the wedding venue.

Minister Marco's Manor, Ryūthor Kingdom

The manor was decorated grandly but the entire Minister Marco's family, except two people, was gloomy that it seemed like they were forced to stand on ceremony.

Minister Marco's family that was forced to stand on ceremony comprised Minister Marco, his concubines and his two sons and three daughters. The rest of his daughters were all concubines for the other Princes, so they needn't be present in the Manor to stand on ceremony.

Damian was standing outside his sister's room. Once she called in, he went inside the room. She was wearing a wedding dress, a beautiful light blue dress.

Wedding dresses are long and thick, like multiple layered robes knit together.

He saw that her long brown hair was loose. A few maids were waiting outside the room. He went outside the room and asked his personal maid, who was standing among the other maids, to come in.

Once she came in, he said, "Get her ready appropriately for the wedding." This maid has been his personal maid for years. He doesn't need to order her as she understands what to do when said.

She nodded at him and immediately said to his sister, "My Lady, please be seated."

She took her loose hair and combed it to braid and that's when both Damian and his sister said together, "No!"

The maid jolted and saw both of them, and said, "My Lord?"

"Do not braid her, put her hair in a bun," said Damian.

"My Lord, a bun is not appropriate for the wedding," said the maid. The maid, understanding his concerns, said, "I will put My Lady's hair in a chignon, My Lord."

Both Damian and his sister nodded. The maid made her hair into a chignon.

Damian then went outside and ordered the maids, who were waiting outside the room, to come in. The maids filed into the room. He then ordered, "Get to work!"
