39 I will not
show off
Although I was
in a hurry to marry Volker, the day came very quickly
The day…
I officially
become Volker’s wife…
Is here!
We will have
to file a notification of our e for approval The truth is I only know
Volker Yes, as you guessed, not yet
By sub
the ress would formally establish our marital status
after the general engage at the
church
Usually one
would hold a cererand event where all friends,
acquaintances, relatives, a few local elders and leading aristocrats and
notable people are invited
There would be
fireworks if upper aristocrats turn up to the wedding The general populace
would turn it into a carnival and put out stalls to sell food, trinkets and
play gahts, thievery, it will be a lot of trouble
It is kind of
a status thing but I don’t want such a flashy event with such dangerous
elements
If one does,
it is best to take safety h the party if the
announcement is a pandoriented delivery (Zuben: I dunno what the panda is
about[1]) Organise thedrinks so that the citizens
can enjoy and you can also show off at the same time Wouldn’t it be nice? I
would like to run such an event (Zuben: Honestly this paragraph stumped me; it
was just a confusing mish-mash of words)
But, couldn’t
you do it in the panda?
But from a
girl’s point of view it is useless, it is not a bit disappointing for Volker to
becoraceful, his identity is that of a
stronger animal that anyone else!! (Zuben: a bear)
Usually,
Volker doesn’t see
about having to wear the heavily decorated uniforms of the Royal Guard, and
curses who ever thought of it I think he looks good, but Volker was
dissatisfied
Alright, it’s
a beautiful day; perfect for sub our certificate to Parliament Mr Sun,
thank you!
When ere
at Parlia our certificate there was a bit of a commotion; His
Majesty the King appeared
He found
Volker and I, and casually approached
‘Brennan, you’re here’ He said in greeting He has a smile
on his face and his gray-blue eyes were narroith it Stefan takes after
him very much But his smile looked very much like Volker’s Perhaps Volker’s
hazel eyes are from his mother
A little
surprised, Volker bowed to the King while giving a glare to the guard behind
his majesty I curtsied
What is this? No, it’s not unusual for his Majesty
to coht? Hie~e, I can’t raise my face
Perhaps it was Volker’s men? I wonder because
he had a frown but it was only for a moment
“Why are you here?”
“Sorry! I couldn’t stop him!”
Maybe it was
like this?
‘Your Majesty,
why are you here? The time of audience…’
‘Don’t be so
stiff, Brennan I wanted to see the reputed lady you became absorbed with
Don’t you want to show her off?’
What, me?!
What is this
about ”reputed”? You care about the e? Eeeeeh!
Hey, do you
mind if I raise my face?
‘Wife, you can
raise your face’ The king said co closer to me and touched my chin
Fu ~ai
I raised my
face and ht,
‘I am
Fredericka Castley It is nice to ed to say
‘Hmm…you’re
such a pretty wife It is regrettable for Brennan’ His Majesty said
It was flattering I laughed His majesty has
an irresistible charm (Zuben: resist it) Was his Majesty even human?!
Beside me, I
felt so intent from Volker! (Zuben: don’t turn Volker into a yandere!)
‘Hey, I’ She suits you,
Brennan’ His Majesty said with a laugh as he hit Volker’s shoulder He left
after that, his guards chasing after him It seems like he just came to see us
Buufuu~ I was
so nervous
I mean, his
Majesty the King, the supreme power of the nation comes over and raises my
face! And I would never have i intent to his
Majesty!
Anyway, I am
greatly relieved that is over
‘Fredericka’
I turned to
Volker, he didn’t even look bothered
That face;
what dial indicator did you use to interact with your Majesty earlier? I was
about to ask when I realised there were disturbing panicked words co from
here and there
“His Majesty
was seen in person!”
“Are the King
and General so close?”
“This…must be
revised!”
“No way, do I
have to fawn over and flatter the nouveau riche?!”
“Is the army
getting increased funds?!”
“Is the
balance between the Military and Parliament broken?!”
We can hear you, you know?
We just cae certificate
I think being a great person is troublesome They don’t even think about
the direction they are going Too ame
Volker and I exchanged a glance; we didn’t knohat to do about the
panicking Lords
I did not want them to rain on my happiness
Such a tactless thing, I don’t want to tell Volker so like that
With that said, should I mislead you?
‘Eeee~ Lady, I’ve been told; today, I realised that Volker-sa
h Volker raised a brow and
frowned He looked sullen at first glance, he had an expression that s
it over would likely fail
The great people around e way to look at his bride, are
they a masked couple?”
I am sorry but I will not tell you
Shortly after sub our certificate, ent to the church for our
blessing We knelt before the Father who performed his prayers
And that was all there was to it Noill head to Volker’s house! Just
then Marie beckoned to me from the side; I went to her and was pushed into a
small room Can I enter here without permission?
‘Please wait a while, Brennan~!’ Marie said with a ful chuckle Volker
watched me with a dumbfounded expression as the door was shut in his face and
locked
What was going on?
I was about to asked Marie how had bolted the door, when someone called me
from behind
‘Fredericka,’
I turned around to find Jennis standing there I thought everyone had gone
to the house beforehand Why was she here holding a white dress in her hand?
‘We don’t have ed quickly’
Jennis said Marie had already started undoing the buttons of my dress Mother
appeared carrying a few things
‘Mother, you’re also here?’
‘I will take off your necklace and undo your hair now, Miss’ Marie said
Marie undressed me with a finesse she rarely displayed in recent years
‘Please don’t get dazed, Fredericka, we just doing a little make over,
right?’ Jennis said with a sentle Her smile
represented neither presence nor absence I could only give a non-committal
reply
I was stood before a full length mirror as my mother, Jennis and Marie
dressed me Before I knew it I was dressed in what could only be called a
wedding dress
‘What is this?’ I asked How could a dress have been made in time? Yet it
fit perfectly like it was made for me
The bold strapless design was the kind Volker liked The bodice was figure
hugging with clean lines with a full skirt that was layer upon layer of silk
and tulle There was delicate embroidery all over it It was very cute
My hair was beautifully tied up; it looked nice and glossy somehow
‘Is this…?’
‘The dress for the dinner party I told you to leave it to me, didn’t
I?’Jennis said, her eyes twinkling mischievously Her smile looked very pleased
and beautiful; like she was happy the dress suited me
But, the dress for the dinner party at this level? This was a wedding
dress!
‘My sister…Volker’sdress,’ Jennis said
with a sad smile
Because Volker’s h they
were in love; due to societal pressure
A girl sure dreae, how sad that she could not have
that
‘I didn’t ht that it would be said you
not wearing a wedding gown’ Jennis continued, ‘Is this ?’
I embraced mother-in-law unconsciously
Could I really wear this?
In such a beautiful wedding dress, I wonder if I truly have become Volker’s
Bride?
Uuuu~ I really endured it
Because of thejilted troubled mother and father, and there
were strange rumours that affected Volker, I hadn’t dared dream I could I
really wanted to wear a wedding dress I wanted to show the world I was in love
like everyone else, but I was afraid it would be more troublesome
I didn’t need it, I thought, I did not need anything as long as I could be
with Volker, I would be happy
‘Thank you, mother in law’ I said to Jennis
I couldn’t say ht of me so much…
Oh, now I’ My make-up would be ruined
‘I didn’t expect to be wearing such a beautiful dress’
Jennis smiled as she wiped my tears with her handkerchief
‘Fredericka, did you ood job?’
Hehehe, ossamer veil over my head
It was exquisite with a crown of my favourite flowers
‘My beautiful Fredericka, I am proud of you Go be a bride with
confidence!’ my mother declared
‘Mother…’
Tears spilled down because I could not endure it anymore
Mybreath and stepped out of the
sed
The ceremonial uniform of the Royal Guard is also wonderful but this was
very close to a groom’s suit, isn’t it? Mother in law also prepared Volker’s
well
‘Wow, Volker you look wonderful’ I said as I ran to hi my hands
out I jumped into his arms and he twirled me around
‘It is you who looks wonderful Fredericka – how beautiful!’
The skirt my dress spread fluffily and the fabric twinkled brilliantly in
the sunlight As we headed to the doors, I could hear lots of people outside
There was a pretty large croatching
Eh?
‘Coe’
When I looked at the carriage I realised the reason for the crowd We had
coe, and had planned to take it back
But this was a fairy tale carriage; it was a white open top carriage with
glittery decorations and Oliver was driving it
What is this?
I couldn’t keep up!
‘Lady, get on please’
It was very graceful, but as our very co the
carriage as thought it ithout saying
A cheer went up as I was escorted to the carriage by Volker Marie and our
other maids started to shower us with colourful petals It was beautiful –
beautiful but so conspicuous!
‘Congratulations, Miss!’ Marie shouted
‘Ma, Marie!’ I cried trying to stop her, but it was in vain as other girls
with si flowers as well
What kind of preparation was this?!
But doing this was so showy, Volker ht find it unpleasant I looked at
him next to me He looked happy
He held e Volker is so sweet! Everyone
is so sweet! I am so very happy my heart is about to explode
Zuben: So much lost in translation stuff in the past few chapters, I was
honestly distressed Anyway, hope it makes sense Enjoy
Panda [1] もしやるなら安全に配慮した、警備も万全なお祭りイベントがメインで、お披露目が客寄せパンダ的な位置付けなら、割り切って出来るかもしれませんね。商家は潤って市民が楽しんでついでにお披露目が出来るなら三方良しで、あら、いいじゃない？そんなイベント取り仕切りたいなぁ。
Panda [2] あ、パンダじゃ仕切れないな？
Panda [3] ……でも令嬢的な観点からいうとダメなのかな、フォルカー様もパンダになっていただくにはちょっと役不足な感が否めない。フォルカー様ならもっと高貴かつ優美、しかしてその正体は誰よりも強い動物になれましてよ！！
