The Werewolf King's Bride

Chapter 250: The Reason To Hold A Lavish Wedding

(From Blue's Perspective)

"Nothing, absolutely nothing. This shit means nothing," Luc said loudly as he sat in my office.

I had sent him the copy of that piece of paper last night and he teleported to my office this morning just after five minutes I had come. Dem made me sleep this morning, so I started working at ten today.

"The paper, you mean?"

"Or what?" he grumbled and placed the paper on the table. "I tried to decipher this the whole night. But nothing, I found nothing!"

"Don't get so worked up," I said. "It's not your fault that you can't find anything. Flint also tried... Of course, he couldn't understand anything either, since even the master of the magic tower can't. I have sent one copy to Evan as well."

"Did you use a bird?"

"It's not official. I used the bird of death. That one is quick. Dem said it will take three days for it to reach Trouvaille. If I send Flint, other officials of Trouvaille will find out. No one should know that the King and Queen of Querencia are close with the King of Trouvaille."

"You are wrong about one thing. Only the Queen is close to the King of Trouvaille, not the King. The King just loves the Queen too much and tries not to lose his temper in front of the King of Trouvaille, so his wife would not hate him," he said.

"It's true that Dem doesn't like him much, but... Anyway, we are going to wait until we hear something from him," I said. "I will let you know. And by the way, when are you going to fix the date?"

"I am thinking of the after two Sundays. Today is Sunday, right? That means, I want to hold it after two weeks," he said.

"The preparation time is too little, but we can manage it if we pay the workers enough and hire too many of them," I muttered.

"I don't know anything about these kinds of things. Can you take...?"

"No," I said flatly. "You think I know much? Don't forget I got married out of nowhere. It's not like I planned my wedding, so don't ask me anything regarding this matter. It's no use asking Dem as well. You and I both know that he won't be able to help.

Well, I will try to help as much as I can. But the best thing you can do is hire a wedding planner. My wedding was very lavish and if you are looking for that kind of wedding, then you can hire the wedding planner who planned Dem and my wedding."

"Lavish? I don't need anything lavish though..."

"You do," I said, shaking my head. "Listen here. Ruby is from a fallen noble's family. Though I am helping them, it will take time for the Count's family to return to their original position. It's also a questioning point whether they will be able to return to their previous position ever or not. So, we have to arrange the wedding as lavishly as possible.

Since you are the groom, it's to show that you are willing to go that far to marry her. You understand what I mean? Everything has to be top-notch."

"I see... It's so difficult," he sighed.

"Don't be like that. It's necessary. You are doing this for Ruby, aren't you? After a few years, perhaps you will understand that you actually did not do it just for her, but also for yourself."

"What does that mean?"

"Who knows? Now, you should really go. I have a lot of work to do."

"You are being like that bastard as well. It must be because you are his wife that some of his characteristics are growing in you."

"That's totally wrong."

"I wanna hang out though."

"You also have work to do. Since you work all night, you can chill during the day. But it's not the same for me. I can't stay awake at night. Dem will yell at me if I do that," I said.

"Ugh!"

"If you are bored, hang out with your fiancée," I said. "She must be in the garden. She has gone out to get some flowers for the vase in my room."

"What will I talk to her about? I am not close to her," he said nonchalantly.

"... Luc," I said, taking a deep breath, "you are going to marry her. So, try to spend more time with her. It might be a loveless marriage, but she is the one you are going to be with for the rest of your life. Are you not going to talk to her after you get married? Are you not going to spend time with her?

It's not like you are shy, right? You are not that type. Then what's the problem?"

"Alright, I will go..."

"What are you doing here?"

"When did you come in?" Luc jumped up in surprise hearing Dem's voice. "Gosh, it's so weird! I can't even get your smell... So, make some noise when you come in, jeez!"

"Luc has come to tell me that he could not understand what's written on that paper as well," I said.

"You can't? Then what are you the master of the magic tower for?" Dem grumbled.

"It's not like you can read it!" Luc snapped.

"I am not a mage," Dem shrugged. "It's not my job to do so. It's yours."

"Stop it," I sighed. "If you two want to fight, just go out and do so, not here."

"I'm sorry," Dem said. Experience tales at m v|l e'-NovelBin.net

"Me too," Luc followed.

"Aren't you supposed to go and spend some time with Ruby, Luc?" I asked. "Then do so. She will come back from the garden if you waste more time here. The garden is the best place to talk to her."

"I am going then," Luc said. "Give this bastard a slap for me, okay?"

"Just go already," Dem said annoyedly.

Even after Luc left, Dem kept cursing him. I had no idea why these two always fought. They truly were like kids.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Hm?"

"You are suddenly in my office. You don't usually come at this hour," I said.

"Can't I come to meet my wife?"

"It's not that... I am just saying that it's so sudden."

"Well, though I don't need a reason to meet you, I actually have one today," he said. "Berry- she did not come to report to me last night. When she did not come, I thought that perhaps I should wait until morning to see if she comes or not. But she did not."

"What? Really? Then what happened to her?"

"I don't know. I have sent some knights to look for her," he said.

"I see... Now, it's even more confusing."

"Do not press yourself. I will find everything out. You don't need to worry about this one," he said. But I was sure that even he knew that it was not possible. When something like this was happening all the time, it was hard not to worry.

"Can you keep me updated?" I asked.

"Sure. I will," he nodded. "I have to go to a meeting now. I will come back in the evening. Have your lunch in time. We will have dinner together."

"Alright," I said. "And by the way, I have a request."

"Yes?"

"I want to take Calix under my knight order," I said.

Each kingdom's knights were divided into two groups. One group worked under the King and the other group worked under the Queen. It was to maintain the power balance between the King and the Queen. The knights working under the King were called the King's knight order and the knights working under the Queen were called the Queen's knight order.

The knights would accept the King or the Queen as their real master. They were to obey both the King and the Queen, but one of them would be their real master and they would take orders from their real master first.

I was a bit afraid when I took my oath and thought that they would not accept me. But I was surprised when I found them accepting me as their real master enthusiastically.

"You can do that," he said.

"Thank you," I said. "I also talked to a psychiatrist about Calix's matter. He wants to meet Calix in person. I am thinking of talking to Calix myself first and ask if he truly wants my help regarding his mental health. It won't be a good thing to decide everything for him myself. If he responds positively, I will tell the psychiatrist to come to the palace.

It's fine, right?"

"Blue, you can do whatever you want to," he said. "As long as you don't leave my side, I don't care what you do. Of course, that doesn't mean you can be with another man."

"I am not going to do something like that! Why would I cheat on you? What are you saying?"

"I'm just saying..."
