Chapter 129

The Marriage Of The Crown Prince And His Wife (1)

Theo, who became Count of Adelia, did a surprisingly good job. Unlike Matthias, he didn’t take a successor class. However, he used to help Paul, and was more than capable.

Therefore, Rowena’s wedding preparations went smoother than before.

There was no reason for the royal family to help Count Adelia. Theo used the count’s income to liquidate or sell all of Paul’s worthless businesses.

Rowena didn’t expect him to be this good. She thought he wasn’t even interested because of Paul, who kept him away, saying that the family’s business was all up to Matthias.

However, Theo seemed to have learned something while watching Paul’s mistake.

Louis was briefly depressed by Paul’s exile, but he was working on sword fighting with the goal of entering a knight’s school.

Now that Matthias was not there, he could take a step forward in his dream.

Sometimes he cried and blamed Rowena, but Louis recognized that it was a cowardly act.

He was punished because he committed a crime.

In addition, Paul’s crime was contempt of the imperial family. He also participated in hurting Rowena and it was wrong for him.

So, he decided to find a way.

If he wanted to see Paul’s face, he could go to the end of the continent and see it by boat. He went into exile, but the crown prince allowed him to visit. So he intended to go there every vacation after entering the knight school.

“Oh my God, this is for the Lady!”

Even though it was his own design, the designer shone his eyes in admiration. Rowena just looked at herself in front of the mirror without saying much.

Is it pretty? Does it look good on me?

In fact, every dress she received as a gift these days was all colorful and beautiful, so she couldn’t tell which one was the most beautiful.

“How beautiful you are, Milady!”

Pina put her fist in her mouth and said, stamping her feet. She looked like she would have cheered if there were no other maids around.

“Yeah…?”

Rowena replied with a slightly unsure expression. Cecil says Rowena is pretty no matter what she wears, but he says that more often when she’s not wearing anything.

It was because she didn’t want to be a burden by Cecil’s side.

All the nobles said in one voice,

“What did you like about that lady?”

It was painful to hear what they were saying. Still, she wanted to look pretty at the wedding.

More than Cecil.

I can’t believe I have to compete with my husband…

If she told Cecil about this, Cecil would make fun of Rowena. Rowena was the only one who thought he was that pretty. Maybe the story was true.

Rowena felt a little strange. When she found out about Matthias, she despaired that Paul also sympathized with him… She said she felt like she would never be happy again.

The wedding was not far off, so she thought she wouldn’t be able to recover from her devastation until then at least.

But it wasn’t so.

Sleeping in Cecil’s arms every day, being loved continuously by him… She could feel the new flesh sprouting again in her split heart.

What was hurt was not completely gone. There were still times when she felt heavy when she thought about it.

But if she left herself in misery, it would be too unfair.

I’ll be happy.

Even if no one cared about her happiness and welfare, she thought she would achieve happiness on her own.

Rowena was a child who knew how to make herself happy even on a day when her nanny quit her job at the mansion due to illness and stayed alone in the attic after being assaulted by her father.

So she could be happy.

It wasn’t because she wasn’t alone. She was always ready to fight for her happiness.

That’s how she had endured so far.

Rowena’s heart was light when she sent her wedding dress for the last trim. At the same time, she was nervous and frustrated.

It was a hastily scheduled wedding, but a royal from another country and an envoy had arrived.

She had to have a wedding with Cecil in front of them. Of course, the burden pressed Rowena on the shoulder as if it were sometimes very difficult.

“M-Milady…”

Pina, who was taking care of Rowena, quickly lifted the mirror and showed Rowena’s eyes. Rowena sighed at the red line around her lively green eyes.

It had been a month and a half!

Cecil may be happy and smile, but tomorrow was the wedding. If Cecil had made love to her so much, she might not have been able to walk the Virgin Road!

What if my legs get weak?

It was a big deal because she liked having a*x with Cecil so much these days. She was worried that she got wet just by kissing, and she even had small spasms.

Now the effects of the poison may have disappeared, but the lining of her eyes turning red was getting bolder… It didn’t seem to disappear completely.
