Chapter 108 108 During The Wedding II

A person in his position had to think of countless situations and prepare a suitable contingency plan for each of them. He was not only a seasoned business man but also someone who knew how the world worked.

As the head of the most prominent business family in the city, he knew that being at the front of a prominent group came with a price. As the saying went that the tallest tree attracted the fiercest wind.

George wasn't worried that the trucks would fail in any kind of scenario; if anything they worked too well. He had checked the performance himself. On the contrary, he was worried that they would make too much noise; enough to cause chaos in the capital which might attract some big fish towards their city.

And when the big fish got involved in something, the little fish had to make room for them or end up devoured by the big fish. That was how things worked in the real life but his daughter was caught up in the momentary success of this business venture.

George didn't try to undermine the proceedings in any way. On the other hand, he acted cool even when the people didn't pay him any mind and gave more attention to his son-in-law. It wasn't a bad thing for now as long as the situation didn't get out of hand. George felt that Zach had the right to enjoy the fruit of his efforts as well.

His son-in-law might look like a simpleton or an antisocial person but George already knew the kind of person he actually was. Zach was in fact the most ambitious person he had ever seen in his life. The reason he didn't care about any single person in attendance was because they were not worthy of his attention at all. They neither had the power nor the potential that Zach could develop on his own given some time.

He decided to be the lookout for any disaster that might head their way in place of Zach due to the increasing brilliance of the trucks.

He wasn't sure if Zach had considered this angle before or not but this was hardly the time for him to get this discussion going with his son-in-law. Today was an important day for his daughter and he didn't want to ruin it by being the harbinger of bad news and bad luck.

George carefully put this long pending discussion at the back of his mind as he would get ample time to discuss this with his son-in-law in the coming days. But that discussion wouldn't be as a business partner but as a family member.

As a veteran businessman, he knew that the value of a subject changed with the time and place. Therefore, his concern regarding the well being of his daughter and his son-in-law would hold much more importance then compared to now.

Unlike Diana who was reluctant to come to Zach's wedding because of the bleeding wound in her heart, Luna was glued to her master's back. She followed him around like an unwavering shadow whose presence remained unaffected even in the absence of light. Even when Zach was called out by several maids to change into the ceremonial clothes, Luna followed after him without a single word.

The maids tried to dissuade her but Luna was stubborn and quite intent on following after him as if she wanted to dress him up with her own hands. She barely held herself back from burning them all to a crisp since she didn't want to create a scene at her master's wedding ceremony. Of course the reason for that was something else but she couldn't tell everyone that.

Contrary to the norm, Zach was being attended to by Elizabeth family's maids who were chosen by his future wife instead of the usual Luther family maids as they had gone to attend to his bride. Apparently this was the custom of this world but Zach didn't care about any of it.

He pushed open the door to his room with Luna in tow as he closed the door and ordered the maids to remain outside since he didn't need their help.

The maids tried to make silly noises in order to show their resistance but before their meek voices could reach Zach, he had already closed the door in their faces.

Left with no other option, the maids could only wait outside the room like a bunch of guards as they discussed the shameless girl following around the groom on his wedding day.

"Don't worry; our young lady will put her in her place once she marries Lord Zach."

"Hmm~"

"What? You don't think that Lord Zach would prefer this girl over our lady? She doesn't compare to our lady in any way. Just look at the way she was dressed like a country bumpkin."

"No, it's not that I doubt our lady's ability. It's just that our new master seems to be very indulgent. He didn't stop her from entering his quarters at all. On the contrary, he stopped us. Maybe she is his maid?"

"Maybe; Lord Zach seems to be quite shy since it is the first time he has met us as I noticed that he didn't talk much at the gathering as well. As for that maid, I can only say that she is extremely snobbish and shameless. Our young lady must definitely get rid of her after she takes her place beside Lord Zach."

As the maids criticized the 'maid' Luna in whispering voices that couldn't be heard by anyone else unless they pushed their faces between the maids' bosoms in order to eavesdrop, Zach was busy changing into his wedding suit.

Since it was Zach's first time getting married and on such a large scale to boot, there were many things he was confused about. He had never even imagined attending a wedding of this caliber in the past but now he had become the main character of the wedding that everyone would envy and look up to.

Zach somehow pulled on all the clothes prepared for him. Surprisingly, there were four layers of clothes even when the weather was warm. Apparently, the discomfort of the groom and bride in their wedding clothes was a common theme in both the worlds.

Zach was only able to put on all the clothes thanks to the help of Luna who knew quite a bit about the clothes of this world. She adjusted his clothes and his hair for quite some time until she was satisfied with the look.

"Go ahead master. It's done. Take a look."

She grabbed him by the shoulders and forced him to take a look at himself in the mirror.

The man that looked back at him from the other side of the mirror looked drastically different from his normal self that was nowhere as chic as that man in the mirror. Thinking that the clothes definitely made the man, Zach turned to the side and back in order to view his reflection from various angles and couldn't help but be mesmerized by the whole picture.

Zach even felt like he was dreaming but Luna's carefully nudges and pinches from behind him brought him back to reality as he jerkily turned around to face her and with an annoyed expression asked her, "WHAT?".

Of course, Luna wasn't deterred by this scary look on her master's face because she knew that he was only doing this to hide his embarrassment.

She looked him straight in the eye and said, "I want it…NOW".

Zach couldn't believe what she was asking him to do after dressing him up herself. He couldn't help but consider if she had some fetish for doing it with him in these clothes.

"Why does it have to be now? Can't you wait?"

"You won't be available tonight since you would probably be busy with your new wife and the poor me would have to go hungry for two days in a row. Don't forget about your poor succubus, master; now that you are getting yourself a wife." Luna pouted playfully as she pulled on his sleeve in a seductive manner.

Just as Zach was about to be drawn in by the seductress, the door to his room burst open as if it had been rammed open from the outside with a battering ram the size of a dinosaur.

"Tsk~" Luna was angry at the sudden intrusion but seeing who the intruder was, she retreated to her master's back. This person was going to be her master's father-in-law in the future and even if she didn't like him, she had to give him some respect for her master.

Zach on the other hand was completely focused on George who had a serious look on his face. It had to be known that George was one of the most accomplished businessmen out there. It wasn't easy to shake him up to such a degree. Something big enough to make him act like that had definitely happened.

"What happened?" It was an involuntary reaction that Zach blurted out the question that George was raring to answer already.

"Someone unexpected has come to the wedding ceremony despite not being invited. I am afraid we do not have the ability to decline entry to this person no matter how powerful we may be in Elizabeth city. And unfortunately, this person is asking for you by name."

"Who is it?" Zach tried to ask George but the latter grabbed him by the arm and almost dragged Zach with him.

"You will see. Better not to let him wait."
