CH 94

Preparations for the wedding were made quickly. 

Since it wasn’t going to be held in a particularly grand way, there was not much that needed to be prepared.

The servant bought and planted new flowers and trimmed the bushes to make the garden look prettier. 

The pretty flowers were picked by the stems and woven one by one to decorate the mansion.

I felt like flowers were blooming wherever the hands of the servants touched.

And. 

“Now, should I cut it?” 

I closed my mouth tight and nodded with a pretty grim look.

Betty with scissors carefully trimmed my hair.

Betty suggested that I get my hair done before the wedding.

Because—.

‘Because my hair is falling out like this….’

As much as the long wheat-colored hair fell out, a lot of new red hair also grew.

‘This is short….’

The red hair below my ears was only about three fingers long.

So, the more red hair grew, the more messy it was.

Not long ago, I was so depressed when I saw the mirror of the mansion that was replaced by Kendrick’s instructions—.

So Betty suggested that my wheat-colored hair be trimmed to the same length as the red hair. 

I accepted Betty’s offer, thinking it wouldn’t matter since the hair would fall out anyway. 

As a result.

Every time Betty scissored, goosebumps ran down the back of my neck. 

Betty proudly said that she has a very long history of getting her hair done, so she is confident in cutting it.

I nodded and left my hair to Betty’s touch.

Srrk—.

I could feel the wheat-colored hairs falling to the floor.

However.

‘It’s amazing.’

In the past, I would have been greatly stressed every time my wheat-colored hair fell out.

Is it because the servants just watch my hair change with warm eyes?

Even though so many wheat-colored hairs were being cut, I didn’t feel like it was a waste.

Ssak, ssak—.

Betty uses the scissors very carefully. Every time she cut it, I could see a lot of wheat-colored hair falling.

And not long after.

“Ta-da, it’s done, Lady! You are really, really cute!”

When Betty finished my hair, she brought a hand mirror to my face. 

I stared at myself in the mirror.

Short, bobbed hair fluttered around her neck.

“Whoa, this is awkward.” 

I had never cut my hair short in my previous life.

Of course. My father thought girls should have long and curly hair.

But this place is special.

I felt everyone cared about me, afraid I would be a little uncomfortable.

I carefully examined myself in the mirror once again.

A girl with red and wheat hair was smiling in the mirror.

As Kendrick said, my red hair grew more and more every day.

And Kendrick also said the molt might be over soon. 

The reservoir and riding arena will be completed by the time my molting is over.

Betty combed my hair, which was cut short, then took a little bit of my hair on either side and curled it into a cute tie.

“Ta-da, you’re so cute! It’s much easier to move, right?”

“Ung, it’s really comfortable.”

I nodded. 

Arsene and Kendrick also complimented me on how nice my new hair looked.

Although I was a little worried that such short hair would suit the dress.

‘It’s okay because I’m seven years old.’

At the age of seven, my body was short, like a porcelain doll that was a bit chubby.

So when I put on the dress, I just looked like a cute girl.

Serena also made the wedding dress in the dressing room.

She heard about a small wedding in the garden among the spring flowers, so she embroidered frills and jewels that looked like spring flowers on my dress. 

After that, there was nothing to prepare.

I still often took naps with Arsene, and these days I slept holding his hand in the same room and went outside to practice using my ability.

Of course, Kendrick was often away from the mansion, so from some point on, the practice of using this ability turned into a time for the two of us to look after each other.

Time passes quickly,

The wedding day has arrived.

***

“Linsy! Lin–sy!” 

The first to arrive was, of course, Leona.

Leona brought a small gift box and held it out to me.

“There’s a wedding present in here. One is yours and one is Arsene. But if you like both, you can have them both.”

“Hey, how could you do that?”

“Here it is. It’s up to the person who gives you the gift.”

Leona and Arsene fought childishly by glancing at each other. 

Even though I was wearing a pretty dress, I had to get in between them to stop them from fighting awkwardly.

“Thank you, Leon. I’ll keep it and open it later.”

“Ung, and what’s out there is a gift for my Dad.”

“Outside?”

I tilted my head at Leona’s words and looked out the window.

Outside the window stood a carriage I had never seen before.

‘Did Leona ride it?’

I couldn’t see anything in particular except a small, fancy carriage.

“There’s nothing outside?”

“Ung? Nothing? It can’t be, ah! There it is, Linsy. That’s a present from Dad.” 

To where Leona’s fingers were pointing.

It was the gorgeous and beautiful carriage I had just seen.

The carriage was decorated with flowers, and it was shining even from the second-floor window as if it was studded with jewels.

“…Don’t tell me, a carriage?” 

“Ung, Dad said it was a wedding present.” 

Leona smiled brightly.

‘Is it because it’s the marriage of the heir of the wolf clan….’

Even though it was a small wedding, Fernando sent Leona as a guest to match the combination.

Plus, such a great gift.

We thanked Leona, and Arsene and I sat down in the room with Leona.

Then, not long after, Betty came in with colorful flowers.

“Betty, what is that?”

“I’m going to decorate Lady Leon with this, the Lady’s is here.” 

Betty put the intricately woven garland on her head with care.

“In the wolf clan, when we marry early, we weave a crown of the prettiest flowers and put it on. It means that it is as precious and pretty as the most beautiful flower of the year.”

Betty placed a garland on my head and combed and carefully arranged my hair. 

Then, after braiding it, she tied it over with half. It felt like the scent of flowers was pouring into my hair.

“Lady Leon has orange hair…” 

Betty carefully trimmed the lemon flowers and put them on Leona’s head.

Besides Betty, other maids also came in and helped Leona and me get dressed.

Meanwhile, Ansia and Cain arrived with an invitation.

Ansia gave Arsene and me a beautifully wrapped gift box and told us it was a wedding gift.

And Cain—.

“What is that?”

“I don’t know, Mom told me to bring it to you.”

Cain gave a cold reply and shrugged his shoulders. We looked at the huge carriage behind Cain. 

“It was a wedding present.”

“I never thought the snake clan would congratulate me like this. I don’t know what to do. Tell her thank you, Cain.”

Then, Kendrick popped out of nowhere and patted Arsene’s head carefully.

“Looks like everything is ready.”

“Yeah, it’s all done!”

“That’s right, I’ve already waited for two hours. I’m hungry…” 

Arsene groaned. I held Arsene’s hand tightly. 

“Wait a little bit. There’s not much time left.”

“…Yes.” 

At that moment, Arsene’s face and earlobes suddenly turned red.

Arsene turned his head, and soon let go of my hand and walked away.

“What’s wrong with Arsene?”

“I don’t know… is he sick? He shouldn’t be sick on the wedding day.”

Having said that, Leona had a really worried expression on her face.

I shrugged.

“He won’t be sick. If he was sick, I would probably notice.” 

After I practiced using my ability, I could sense Arsene’s health, even if only faintly.

So when I was next to him, I felt like I knew roughly what Arsene and his body were like right now.

So I thought it was like that for everyone.

‘I don’t think that’s the case again.’

I could only notice how Arsene felt when I was right next to him.

I wasn’t sure yet, so I didn’t tell anyone else.

Anyway, what is certain is that Arsene is not sick right now.

“Arsene, let’s go together!” 

I grabbed the dress with both hands and ran after Arsene.

I felt Ancia, Leona, and Cain following me from behind.

We entered the mansion, drank cold water, and waited for a while until the servants called us.

And not long after.

“Let’s go, Lady.”

Ethan came to pick me up and Arsene.
