Chapter 375 (1/2)

The Wedding

“Jin. Sorry to keep you waiting.”

It was almost nine o’clock when Saki appeared after finishing preparations.

Ehr and Reiko were with her.

“Thank you for sending Reiko to me. She really helped.”

Saki had brushed her messed up hair and was now dressed in a lavender, no, bluish-purple dress.

She was perhaps too skinny, but the simple A-line dress looked very nice on her.

She had a hair ornament with a single flower on it in her hair. And of course, she wore her glasses.

“Oh, I almost didn’t recognize you.”

“Heh. It’s embarrassing to have someone say that to your face.”

Saki blushed, which was quite unusual.

Just then, Reinhart’s butler, Claude, arrived.

“Lord Jin, Lady Saki. I have come to pick you up.”

Claude bowed to him in his black butler uniform.

“I’ll ride in my own carriage if that is alright?”

“Yes, of course it is. Now Lady Saki, please come this way.”

Jin took his own carriage and Saki went with Claude to the Randol house.

Claude didn’t say anything about the fact that Jin’s carriage was pulling another cart. He probably had an idea of what it was.

“So this is your present, Master Jin.”

When they arrived at the Randol house, Jin gave Claude the bed and mattress. Claude ordered one of the servants to take it into the house.

The Randol house had wide doors, so it was not difficult to carry it inside, but Jin thought that he would bring one that could be taken apart next time(if there was a next time).

“And this is from me.”

Saki said as she offered the small box she was holding.

“Thank you, Lady Saki.”

Claude accepted that as well. Like that, all of the presents were gathered together in one room so that the newlyweds would be able to inspect them later at their leisure.

“…And this was entrusted to me by a certain person.”

Jin then offered the package that he had received from Elsa.

“A certain person?”

Claude asked as he took it.

“Yes. Someone that Reinhart knows, but who cannot come here.”

“I see.”

Claude seemed to have realized who it was, and so he took the package and placed it into the room.

After this, Claude and the other servants would open that packages and check to see what they were. This was a precaution in case there was anything dangerous in any of them.

“Lord Jin, Lady Saki. Please wait over here.”

The two of them were led to a drawing room. Many other guests were waiting there, and some of the faces were familiar.

It was now clear that the wedding date had been decided a long time ago and many preparations had been made.

“Oh, Jin. It had been a while.”

The person who greeted him now was Reinhart’s friend and the older brother of the bride. His name was Matheus Geist von Realgar.

And the person next to him was…

“Saki, is that you? I didn’t recognize you at first!”

It was Fritz Randol von Grosch. Elsa’s older brother and Reinhart’s cousin.

“Ah, Fritz. It’s been a while. I thought you were abroad.”

“Yes. I am here to represent the family.”

Fritz smiled, and there was none of the seriousness that was there before.

“You are Jin, right? Please forgive me for being rude.”

Fritz said as he turned to Jin. Indeed, he seemed like a different person now. They had not met since Seduce had been removed, and so Jin was surprised at how much he had changed.

“…I wish that Elsa had been here too.”

“Fritz… This is not the right place to talk about such things.”

Saki had been about to ask him something, but she seemed to remember where she was and stopped. Instead, she spoke to Matheus.

“I haven’t seen you in a while either. How is your wife?”

“She is well, thank you. However, Saki, you look so different. I still remember how you used to look like when we played together as children.”

As Saki was childhood friends with Reinhart, she was also old friends with Matheus.

“Hehe. Woman can apparently change a lot with some makeup. It was my younger sister who taught me how to use it in the first place.”
