174 Episode 15 Traitor (1/2)

It looks good on you, doesn't it?

After the parade, Scheherazade smiled as she finished changing into her pure white wedding dress.

The wedding dress that Scheherazade wore was a little different in design from the ones worn by Carolina and Nia.

The fabric from the upper body to the waist was tightly attached to the body, and the skirt below the waist was spread out like the tail fin of a mermaid.

The beautiful curves of Scheherazade are strongly emphasized.

The bosom was cut in the shape of a heart to emphasize Scheherazade's large breasts.

I've already given up on the ...... breasts, but I'm kind of wondering if I can do something about the buttocks.

Scheherazade smiled bitterly.

Her dress was designed to accentuate not only her breasts, but also her buttocks.

Apparently, she is more concerned about her buttocks than her breasts.

”Your Highness. Titus told me to wear this ribbon if my hips are really bothering me.

With that, the servant attached a large white ribbon to Scheherazade's waist.

The large ribbon would cover Scheherazade's buttocks.

It's not very noticeable, is it? ...... You remembered what I said earlier when you were trying it on.

Scheherazade smiled happily.

Hercule, on the other hand, looks at Scheherazade's buttocks and thinks.

(It's rather erotic when it's a little hidden. ...... At any rate, well done, Titus.)

You know exactly what you're doing, brother.

Hercule inwardly praised Titus.

Then they went to the church and performed the marriage ceremony.

The details were not so different from those of Carolina and Lunalie.

The only difference was that Cecilia, not Millenia, performed the ceremony.

The only difference is that Cecilia, not Millenia, will be performing the ceremony.

Cecilia's expression was a little tense.

Nia's wedding was a good rehearsal for Cecilia. ...... But Scheherazade's wedding and Nia's wedding have different political importance.

Failing here would be a huge embarrassment for Cecilia. ......

Cecilia is nervous.

Hercule gives Cecilia a wink to relieve her tension.

Cecilia then glared at Hercule.

You shouldn't be flirting with a woman who is not the bride at the wedding, let alone the officiant.

It was as if she was saying.

However, Cecilia's anger at Hercule seemed to have released some of her tension, and her complexion was better than before.

Thanks to the effect of Hercule's wink, Cecilia was able to successfully perform the ritual.

Both Scheherazade and Hercule exchanged their wedding rings and became husband and wife.

After the wedding, a luncheon was held.

Lemuria and Fahls were seated separately at a circular table.

Initially, the table was supposed to be rectangular, but there was a great deal of conflict over who should sit on top, Hercule or Sasan VIII, and where Cecilia, the medium, should sit.

”I'm ...... glad to have you as family and blood relation, even if it's only in law, Emperor of Lemuria.

”I'm also glad to be ...... related to you, King Farus.

Hercule and Sasan VIII smiled at each other as they sipped their wine.

Their faces were smiling, but ......

I'm sure both of them are not happy about it.

By the way, Chief Priest of Lemuria.

”...... is that me you're talking about?

Cecilia asked Sasan VIII, and he nodded.

That's right, it's about you.

I see. ...... May I make one correction?

”Hmm, what is it?

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I don't know how the diplomats of the empire told you about me, but I am not the Chief Priestess, I am the Medium, the leader of all Messiahs. Let me just point that out.

The official language of this world is Cyrillic.

Therefore, the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Phars also conducted their diplomacy in Cyrillic, ...... and Cyrillic is also used here.

The term ”chief priest” in Cyrillic used by Sasan VIII refers to those who served the gods in polytheistic religions before the establishment of Messianism.

The priests of the Chiris were priests who served the gods, but they were also ”officials,” that is, bureaucrats who served the state and the community.

Praying to the gods for victory in war or for a good harvest was an important political enterprise of the state. ......

It is obvious that those who did so were also bureaucrats who served the state.

Therefore, referring to Cecilia as the ”chief priestess” implies that Cecilia is a servant of the state, i.e., the Lemurian Empire and the Lemurian emperor.

So Cecilia corrected that part.

Oh, ......, excuse me. ”Oh, , excuse me. Are you sure it's Medium?

Yes. ...... And what is that?

No, no, no, no. ...... I've heard that you are a very beautiful priestess of the Lemurian Empire, but I didn't expect you to be as beautiful as you are. I would like to take this opportunity to get to know her better.

Sasan VIII began to talk eloquently.

The words of praise for Cecilia's appearance came smoothly out of her mouth.

As expected, Cecilia became embarrassed when she was so blatantly flirted with.

Her ears, hidden by her beautiful silver hair, turn red.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.　We're supposed to be celebrating the marriage of Scheherazade and I.

”Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry, but this is just too beautiful for Medium.

With a smile and a laugh, ......

Hercule and Sasan VIII stared at each other again.

”Well, Mother, ...... don't you think you ought to stop that?

...... I'm sure they both know their limits. Maybe.

Scheherazade and Helena whispered to each other.

After the luncheon, there was a break for a few hours, and then the dinner began.

You look great in your new dress, don't you?

Thank you, ......, it's not too naughty.

The dress that Scheherazade was wearing was designed to look like a combination of an old Lemurian costume and a Foulds costume.

The fabric was loose and did not cling tightly to the body.

However, it was still made in such a way as to emphasize Scheherazade's unevenness, and it was also open at the chest. ......

It seems that Scheherazade's senses are slowly becoming numb.

”Come on, let's go. Scheherazade.

”...... Yes. That .......

Scheherazade said with a grimace.

”You!

The dinner party, unlike the luncheon, was quite large.

The number of invited guests was much larger than the party held for Carolina.

And so it should be.

It was the marriage of the emperor and princess of two superpowers, the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Foulds, so the scale of the event was appropriate.

Incidentally, both the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Foulds are paying half of the funds for such a large wedding.

Well, formally, the Lemurian Empire alone is paying for the wedding. ......

The Kingdom of Fars paid for half of the bride's expenses in the form of a bride price.

Sasan VIII was overjoyed to pay for the wedding because he thought that the wedding of his most beloved daughter should be lavish and grand.

The party was held in a standing room only style.

The food was mainly Lemurian, but there were also dishes from Khayastan, Farus, and other chefs that Hercule had recruited from around the world.

”It's been a while, Emperor Lemuria. But ...... hmm, I guess a change of dress does change your impression. It looks good on you, Scheherazade.

Sasan VIII took a long look at Scheherazade, who was standing by Hercule's side, and praised his daughter's fine appearance.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

”...... Yes, thank you. Father.

Scheherazade smiled happily.

”Your Majesty, take care of my daughter.

Helena, who had come with Sasan VIII, bowed to Hercule.

Hercule gave a small nod.

”Yes, of course. You can count on me.

Hercule grabbed Scheherazade by the shoulders and held her close.

Then he kissed her on the cheek.

The guests who were watching the scene groaned.

While Scheherazade was red-faced and embarrassed, Hercule grinned at ...... Sasan VIII.

”I got your daughter.

”...... Hmm. How is it possible to be a slut in public like this?

”How dare you seduce our medium with impunity?

Hercule, who was still holding on to the incident at the luncheon, glared lightly at Sasan VIII.

Sasan VIII shrugged his shoulders as if to say, ”Oh dear.

It seems the groom doesn't understand puns. Hmm, a cultural difference, perhaps?　Scheherazade, you'll have a hard time, but good luck. ...... If you get tired of it, you can always come back, right?

Hahaha ...... I don't think there's any pun intended in your father's case.

Sheherazade, who knew of her father's misogyny, smiled bitterly.

Then Sasan VIII turned on his heel.

”Well, I'm sorry to interrupt. Helena and I will go to eat and talk with the ...... other guests. It's not every day you get the chance to exchange words with a diplomat from a western country. Besides, ...... the food here is delicious. Let's just admit it. ...... It's a complete defeat.

Sassan VIII said, dragging Helena with him as he went to scavenge the food with gusto.

”Oh!　Well, well, well, isn't this King Hayastan!　No, ...... the former King of Hayastan, to be exact?　It's been a long time!

”Geez!　Huh, King Foulds!

Hey, hey, why are you running away?　Why are you running away? You're my former ally!

Sasan VIII, who seems to have found a perfect tormentor while scavenging for food, heads straight for the poor ex-King Khayastan.

Wouldn't it be better to help him?

”Hmm, well, I don't have to, Luna will go first. I want Hayastan to be somewhat independent.

Hercule shrugged his shoulders.

Then Hercule and Scheherazade went to greet the dignitaries.

”Congratulations, Your Majesty, Emperor of Lemuria, Your Highness, Princess Scheherazade.

It was a diplomat dispatched from Kurotsuki who said this to them.

His expression was ...... calm.

Thank you. Thank you. ...... And actually, there is something I need you to tell the emperor of Kuro Thrust, okay?

”Anything at all.

”My country's best ally remains the Kuro Plague. If my sister's husband is in trouble, I will help him in any way I can.

”Yes, I will certainly inform them.

The diplomat bowed his head reverently.

He had dared to tell Scheherazade in front of her that the Kuro Plague was her best ally, and his intentions seemed to have been well received.
