Chapter 822 To the future

After the wedding, we all went back to the castle.

That was where the wedding banquet was being held.

The official one was being held in a hall not far away from the church where the official wedding had been held, but we didn't go.

This was a decision by the fourth prince after what had happened at the official wedding today.

In short, this was his way of showing dominance.

This wasn't in the plans initially, but he had added this in after seeing how the nobles had acted.

He said that this would show them the consequences of their actions, but really...I could tell that he had been angered by them. It seemed like he had been angered on our behalf by them by all the things that they said about me.

Since he was angry on my behalf, it wasn't as if there was anything that I could say.

So that was how those nobles who had come to build relations and thought that they would have an easy way to the top were now left in worry. They had to worry about whether they would even have a place in this country after the changing of the crown.

The ones that were the most worried would be the two dukes who had led them in trying to oppose this.

After all, it was their fault that the rest of them had fallen into this situation.

There was no doubt that the rest of the nobles would hold grudges because of this.

That would make the position of the two dukes even worse as they had to deal with the other nobles along with the threat from above.

But that was none of our business.

As for the ones that had been invited to this banquet in the castle, they were naturally those that were related to the brides.

That meant that all who had attended the wedding were here.

Using the fourth prince's intelligence and the things that I could remember, we cleaned up all those other factions that wanted to take over Shadow Garden for their own benefits. The only ones left were those that remembered the mission and would work for the crown, which included Scar and the stuffed bunny boss.

They would be important assets in the future that would secure my reign.

The others that came were other organizations similar to Shadow Garden, but were used for other things.

There was the head of the royal family's company, there was the head of the royal family's private guards, and other people of similar positions.

They would be there to help me in the future.

Though it seemed like most of them were more respectful to the fourth prince than to me, not that I really minded.

This was all for the future and he was someone that I trusted, so I would leave it to him.

That also included Duke Beauchamp who had come since Veronica was also getting married to me.

That meant that it wasn't just the royal family alone against the rest of the kingdom, it meant that one of the dukes would be on our side. Two if you included me, but I really didn't have the same power as the other dukes did.

Though if you also include the resources that came from raiding the Yuletide Family, that was three dukes.

In short, it wasn't as if we were worried that the two dukes were on the other side.

If it came down to it, we could take their power just like with the Yuletide Family.

That was just how dominating of a position we were in.

But halfway through the banquet, my brides and I left.

Everyone else remained at the banquet while we went off to a special chamber that had been prepared for us.

It was our wedding night after all.
