Chapter 50
Proofreader: xoxomonami
Countess Eunice forgot that the rouge on her lips got erased and covered her open mouth with one hand. Because she thought she wanted to scream.
Artizea was not surprised. Because she knew she would come.
Sophie and Emily reached out to help Artizea stand up.
The door opened.
Thud.
In fact, it is almost impossible to hear footsteps.
But Countess Eunice felt the illusion of hearing such a sound. The Empress’ presence was too great.
It has been 18 years since the Empress came out of the palace.

Countess Eunice knew the Empress. In her childhood, it was also the Empress who was the most feared person in the Imperial Palace.
So she could recognize her right away.
The Empress was old, but she was still cold and dignified.
The Empress was wearing a black dress again today.
Since the interior was filled with ornaments for the bride all over, so her mourning black dress was even more noticeable.
“Thank you for coming, Your Majesty.”
Artizea, supported by Sophie, kneeled politely. The hem of the new white dress was wrinkled.
The Empress snorted.
“You must have already known that I was coming.”

“I was just thinking that if that happens, it will be a lifetime of glory.”
“Does it make sense that you know how to shake a person’s heart so well and not know the consequences?”
The Empress said so and reached out her hand. Artizea stood up, taking her hand carefully.
The Empress looked around her and she said.
“Martha, this outfit is inappropriate for entering the wedding hall. Bring me some flowers.”
Not taking off her mourning clothes meant that she did not yet believe everything Artizea said.
However, she did not intend to do the sinister work of holding the bride’s hand in mourning clothes.
Emily hurried up and picked the larger of the rose flowers that adorned the Tuvalet room and decorated it on the Empress’s chest and hat.
That alone brightened up the atmosphere.

The Empress pulled Artizea’s veil.
Then she put a pure gold orb in the largest rose blossom in the center of her bouquet.
Soon an errand boy came up from the wedding hall. It was to announce the beginning of the ceremony.

Cedric’s preparations ended much faster than Artizea.
It was just about wearing a dark blue robe and wearing an insignia.
The servants who helped him in his outfit wanted all his medals to be attached.
However, he omitted most, because Cedric thought that the gold strings and epaulettes on his clothes were too much and just decorative.
He did not have much preparation, but he had a lot of obligations. As the head of the Evron Grand Duchy, he had to welcome his guests.

Artizea was also the head of the Marquisate of Rosan, but since she was the bride, she was exempt from almost all duties.
However, she did not waive her duty just because she is the bride on the day of the wedding.
Most of the actual guests were Cedric’s.
The only guests of Artizea were the relatives of the Marquisate of Rosan. There was no personal guest due to the narrow social relationships. On the other hand, there were endless people looking for Cedric.
Congratulations flooded from the military’s influential men, his men, his adoring knights, and his parents’ old friends.
“There are not one or two people who send separate letters from the western fortress asking what’s going on. I highly doubt it, but turns out you’re not matchmade but got married by dating.”
“It’s not just the West. The Grand Duchy is no joke. Everyone almost wanted to duel till everyone died to attend this wedding. I won, with the fastest and strongest horses.”
Cedric sighed between the noisy knights.
“Didn’t I say that I would go there after the wedding anyway.”

“You’re really wrong, Your Grace. What do you mean taking the Grand Duchess to the Grand Duchy for your honeymoon? You’re going to get some kind of resentment later on from the Grand Duchess.”
There were exclamations of agreement here and there.
Cedric had nothing to say.
In fact, he did ask if she would like to go somewhere else.
Since she had been so busy so far he thought it would be okay to take a break at the resort for a month or two.
However, Artizea shook her head.
“There is no time.”
“If there is a lot of work to do, why don’t you remain in the capital?”
“Do you not want to take me as the Grand Duchess?”

“It’s not like that, but the north is cold. There is nothing to see because it is so desolate.”
At that time, Cedric couldn’t understand the strange and subtle expressions Artizea made.
She looked at Cedric silently for a moment, and smiled sadly.
“I have someone I need to meet in the North.”
Artizea probably knew no one in the Evron Grand Duchy. She has never left the capital on her own.
“Who is that?”
Cedric asked, but Artizea was stubbornly silent
As it came to his mind, his heart became a little heavy.
He knew that Artizea wasn’t telling him everything she did.
Updated from novelhall[.]com
Some of the things she shouldn’t tell him about and some she doesn’t want him to know.
However he was so concerned about who was the ‘someone I need to meet’ that made her look like that.
“No. I’ve been thinking, isn’t the Grand Duke actually doing this with a terrifying trick?”
At the words of Chancellor Lin, Cedric was dumbfounded and asked.
