90 Episode 28 Wedding: Lunarier (1/2)

Hmm, this is awful. ......

When Hercule woke up the next morning, he looked down at Karolina and muttered to himself.

Of course, Karolina was beautiful as always.

Her skin is pure white and the morning sun reflects off her half-undressed wedding dress, making her beautiful and very sensual.

It is the wedding dress that is the worst.

It was stained red from the wine they had drunk together.

In addition, she was so drunk that she forgot to take care of her wedding dress, and it is now stained with various liquids.

”Well, even if it's ......, can Ciphany remove it?

The servant Ciphany has an unassuming but incredibly useful magic called ”Wash III” that can remove any stain.

I'm sure you can remove it with that.

I'm sure she'll complain about it later. ......

Every time I asked Ciphany to clean my dirty clothes, she would say, ”What kind of woman would do this to you if you hugged her? Hercule recalled.

In response, Hercule would say, ”I'll teach you how to do it,” and he would hold Cifanie in his arms.

Haha ...... I'm so tired.

Hercule stands up and stretches.

I'm not tired yet.

But ......

Today is the wedding of Luna.

The wedding of Carolina and Lunalee is not so different.

There are some differences in the number of songs that are sung, but there are no major differences in the basic content or the progression of the ceremony.

However, there is one crucial difference.

That is the number of invited guests.

Both weddings have the same number of guests, but the people invited are very different.

At the wedding of Carolina, there were a great many people invited from abroad.

Many priests were also invited.

This was to advertise to the world that Karolina was the rightful wife and empress of Hercule.

To show the world the prestige and prosperity of the Lemurian Empire, and the person who will give birth to the next emperor.

This was the main purpose of Hercule and Karolina's wedding.

On the other hand, at the wedding with Lunalie, ......

The Lemurian Empire's nobles and Hayastan's nobles make up the majority of the guests.

Of course, kings and their representatives were also invited from various countries. ......

The number of guests is smaller than the wedding ceremony with Karolina, and they are not invited to the breakfast or dinner parties.

This is because the marriage between Hercule and Lunalie is only for the purpose of strengthening the relationship between Lemuria and Hayastan.

What is important is the friendship between the two countries.

This is why the number of slots allocated to countries other than Lemuria and Hayastan has been reduced.

I see. ...... Titus is a genius. In the arts.

Hercule looked at Lunalie in her bridal gown and exclaimed in admiration.

She still has a poker face,......, but there is a hint of joy and embarrassment on her face.

”How do you like ...... it?

”Yes, it looks good on you. It's not as bad as Carolina's yesterday.

The other day, Karolina wore a white, revealing wedding dress to her wedding.

Her appearance must have had a tremendous impact on the fashion industry in the Lemurian Empire and its neighboring countries.

The problem, however, was that Lunalie's wedding was coming up the next day.

If Lunalie's bridal gown is similar to Carolina's, ......

If Lunalie's wedding gown is the same as Carolina's, it will be the same as Carolina's and will not make a strong impression.

The impact of Carolina would overshadow that of Lunalie.

Well, it's not a big problem if you consider the fact that they are the main and side daughters. ......

But that would make Lunalie a bit pathetic.

And ...... Titus' pride as an artist would not have allowed him to make a second attempt.

Lunalie's bridal gown was a complete change from Carolina's costume.

If I had to give it a title, it would be ......

Restoration + Exoticism.

Or is it?

The basis of the dress was a long-forgotten ancient Lemurian tunica-like dress.

The soft fabric envelops and highlights Lunalie's ample breasts and supple limbs.

The dress is sleeveless and shows off her arms and collarbone, just like Carolina's dress.

Naturally, it is made of silk.

The basic dye is blue extracted from indigo, and yellow from saffron is also used as a pattern.

So far, it's just a fancy, old-fashioned wedding dress.

Well, the impact of pulling out a garment this far back in time is quite impressive, and the fact that it is worn by a lunaree alone has a tremendous impact on clothing trends. ......

This old-fashioned wedding dress is embroidered with gold and silver threads.

The embroidery, the blue of indigo and the yellow of saffron create an exotic pattern in the style of Khayastan Persis.

The bride's veil was adorned with a crown of laurel and white flowers.

A fusion of Lemurian and Khayastan cultures.

This is in line with the purpose of the wedding of Hercule and Lunalie. ......

In addition, Lunalie, who is a Hayastanian and has a slightly different face from Lemurians, wore this dress to make her more mysterious, beautiful, and seductive.

By the way, if you are curious about the price, please visit ......

It's roughly the cost of one and a half houses with gardens.

Carolina's wedding dress used a lot of silk because of the lace and the length of the skirt, but Lunalie's dress has no lace, and the length of the skirt hides her ankles, so it is not long enough to drag.

Therefore, the amount of silk used is less than that of Carolina's dress.

However, dyeing and embroidery cost a certain amount of money, which is why it is priced at .......

In any case, it is still expensive.

”I knew he was good at his job. ......

”......, Your Majesty. I know His Highness Titus is great, but you should give me credit.

Oh, ......, I'm sorry. But I guess it's the material. A beautiful woman looks good no matter what she wears. A top-notch artist designed it for such a beautiful woman. There's no way it wouldn't look good on her. ...... I'm in love with you again, Luna. You're really beautiful. I'm so glad I met you.

And when Hercule lined up his compliments, ......

...... praise will get you nowhere.

He blushed a little and turned away.

You're still so naive.

I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

”...... is too easy.

...... What did you say?

I thought Lunalie was beautiful. Yes, she really is beautiful.

Karolina deceives with a clear face.

You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this sort of thing.

I'm not happy with your compliments.

(Wow, ...... you look so happy ......)

The usual smug look on his face has broken down a bit, and he has a slight grimace on his face.

Even though she denies it with her mouth, it's completely evident on her face.

This is a rare faux pas for the cool-headed Lunarie.

However, she probably doesn't realize it.

She probably doesn't realize it, but she's trying to keep a poker face.

”Well, enough chitchat, Luna. Okay, princess. Let's get to the parade. The people are waiting.

”...... Yeah, okay.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

And ......

The parade and wedding are finally over!

The parade and the wedding are finally over. ...... I feel like it happened so fast.

”It's your imagination, it's your imagination. It's definitely the same description as yesterday, and it's not like the author skipped it because it was too much work to write.

No, it's not my imagination.

It's true that Hercule and Lunalie are saying ”Long live the Emperor! ”Long live the Emperor!” ”Long live the Lunary! ”Glory to Lemuria and Hayastan! They exchanged vows, kissed, and exchanged rings in front of the medium.

In fact, both Hercule and Lunalie have gold and ruby rings on their ring fingers.

(There is also a sapphire ring on Hercule's finger. ......)

But this is not the end.　There will be a luncheon and then a dinner after the break.

Hmmm, ...... I'm tired, but ......

I've had two days in a row.　Don't complain.

”I've been here two days in a row.

Except for the representatives of the major countries, the guests invited to the luncheon were the royalty and nobility of the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Khayastan.

The first person who approached me was ......

The first person to call out was King Frates III of Hayastan.

”This is His Majesty King Fuhrates. Normally, we would go to ...... him to greet him.

”No, no, I know you are busy. I know you are busy. ...... Again, congratulations on your marriage. Your Majesty, and Lunalee.

Flates III smiled serenely.

And ......

But ...... Lunalie is getting married. But ...... Lunalie is getting married. ...... She used to be such a little thing, but time flies .......

And then he began to cry manly tears.

”Oh, um, ...... father. Are you okay?

”I'm so beautiful now, ...... I wish I could have shown it to him in heaven.

I found myself weeping, Frates III.

It seemed that he was thinking about his wife in heaven, Lunalie's mother.

”...... I have nothing left to think about.

”Oh, Father!　Oh, father! What a bad omen .......

(What is this?　What is this father-son comedy?

Hercule was inwardly dismayed by the sudden farce that had begun before his eyes. ......

(What is this father-son contrivance?) Hercule, inwardly dismayed at the sudden farce that had begun before his eyes, pointed out to Frates III that he still had some unfinished business as a man, in order to console him (or end the farce, if that was necessary).

”Your Majesty, Frates. It's not too late to go to the Kingdom of Heaven after you see your grandchildren, is it?　They say they don't hurt your eyes.　Grandchildren?

”Oh!　That's right!　I'm the ...... emperor, and I'm looking forward to working with you!
