Chapter 708 (1/2)

Unlike the smiling Sui Xiong, Leon was feeling extremely troubled.

It was not that he had never been attended to by waiting ladies, but rather the fact that he had never worn such a complicated outfit before.

The Eagle Kingdom and the Wu Li Kingdom were the two most majestic countries amongst the human kingdoms. When couples got married in Eagle Kingdom, they did not wear traditional robes but rather wore respectable looking clothes. Armor was not allowed, of course, as even the most fearsome knight would not wear battle clothes at his own wedding.

However, it was different in Kingdom of the Blue Moon. This capitalistic country was extremely particular about beauty and decorum. Even if it was not a large event, the citizens would dress up nicely and don complicated outfits. When it came to actual large events, they would then become extremely flamboyant. This was just like Leon now who had on four different clothes items as well as several different accessories. He felt like a storefront mannequin who had been burdened with too many unnecessary items.

Sigh… Why did I promise Kalisa that we would hold a traditional wedding…

He maintained a neutral smile on his face but complained bitterly to himself in his head.

In actuality, his attire was already considered extremely simple as compared to Kalisa’s.

Females’ outfits would always be more complicated than those of men. Kalisa’s wedding outfit was named “Heavy Nine,” and as the name suggested, it was comprised of nine layers as well as several ribbons and cloths. In total, she would wear about thirteen to fourteen layers at the least, and this number could even exceed twenty!

These layers were all put on with precision—the clothes, colours and designs could not be repeated, and this applied to the jewels used in the accessories as well. Thus, with every added layer, her clothes’ net worth increased significantly. If she wasn’t well to-do, this outfit would definitely not be possible.

Wearing multiple layers took a toll on the bride’s body and thus Kingdom of the Blue Moon citizens often preferred to hold their weddings during winter to avoid cases where the bride fainted or passed out during the ceremony.

Kalisa was luckily sufficiently wealthy and had a strong body. Although she was skinny and looked weak, she was actually lean and was able to perform weird tricks such as “Standing on Fist” and “Racing Horses Wrist,” which required much strength. Thus, the wedding outfit that she donned turned out to be made up of an impressive thirty odd layers

While all the layers were thin, the silk, gold, silver thread, jewels and other little details made them heavy. For example, the third last layer, “A sky full of stars”, was made by sewing several jewels on silk and such an outfit alone was at least five to six pounds.

Her entire outfit weighed over forty pounds. It felt like an armour. Even worse, the layers were all stitched together and thus there was no distinction between the weight distribution. Any normal girl would not be able to complete the ceremony wearing such a ridiculous outfit.

However, Kalisa did not find it heavy and even commented that it was too light.

After all, it was the most important day of her life thus far and if she were to be lazy, it would be a waste!

“City Lord, we can’t add any more layers without repetition! That’s not auspicious.” The waiting lady spoke up apologetically.

Repetition would bring about the negative superstition that after the marriage, the husband would fool around with other girls which was extremely undesirable.

However, Kalisa was certain that Leon would have a change of heart – she had taken tens of years to chase him and that was with her above average looks. Other girls who wanted to do so would certainly have a hard time.

Furthermore, she was confident in her beauty.
