The Second Life's

XXXIX - Wedding Preparation (I)

I went downstairs and went into the dining room and then saw Idris who was already sitting sweetly in front of the dining table. I chose the seat facing him.

Holly and Chloe entertained us with a simple breakfast. Baked bread, chocolate jam, scrambled eggs, and fresh cow's milk. We enjoyed breakfast in silence. When I finished, Idris started talking.

“I've asked the Imperial designer to make some wedding dress models for you to try,” said Idris. “Do you have the model you want?”

I'm shaking. “I believe in your choice, Idris. I'll wear whatever you choose.”

“Uhm, I'm a little scared of my taste, Charlotte.” Idris smiles. “Can we go now?”

“Alright, let me ask Chloe to do my hair first so as not to overheat,” I said while standing up. “Please wait a minute.”

“Yes, Charlotte.”

I called Chloe to follow me upstairs and bring me a glass of water. Before Chloe came in, I put the Ava pill in my mouth.

Bitterer.

I snatched the water-filled glass that Chloe brought along as soon as she walked in. I let out a nonchalant expression due to the bitter taste of the pill. Oh, my gosh. I need something sweet.

“Bring me some cake,” my orders to Chloe.

Chloe ran out despite not really understanding why I wanted to eat cake. Ah, Ava should have given her a warning about the taste of the medicine she was giving.

After eating the chocolate cake Chloe brought, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief back. Chloe started styling my hair up. Summer clothes are not too thick, I don't sweat too much because of that.

I went with Idris to the Imperial Palace to try on a wedding dress there. The Imperial Designer is waiting.

“May Your Highness the Crown Prince and also Miss Winston be blessed Goddess of Virtue. Introduce my name Tory, the designer of the Empire,” Tory said, bowing. “Please follow me.”

Me and Idris tailed behind a rather chatty Tory. Along the way, Tory was busy talking about the design of the dress she made in a short time.

The material used is the best material taken directly from Naorikan. Tory boasts of her dress as a masterpiece. Without even looking at it, I already knew what Tory was.

My wedding and coronation dress I chose from the plan.

Cleks!

Tory opened the door and saw a very beautiful all-white wedding dress. Idris stayed with me at the side without saying anything. She just kept quiet and waited for me to try on all those dresses.

But I refuse to do it. Because my eyes were fixed on a different dress. The dress was cream-colored with the collar forming the letter v. The front is plastered with diamonds and the bottom is wearing a shiny cloth.

“I want to try that,” I said as I pointed at the dress I was referring to.

Tory smiled. “Good first choice, Miss Winston.”

“No.” I glanced at Tory. “That dress I will wear at my wedding later.”

“Ba-Alright, Miss Winston. Come closer so I can help try on this dress,” said Tory nervously. He waved his hands at his four assistants. The small curtain closed so Idris could not see my process of wearing the dress.

The dress is very comfortable and comfortable. Even though this dress I wore was too revealing of the chest area. But that's not too much of a problem. The Tory assistants gave me their thumbs up.

That means I'm good, right?

The curtain opened and I saw Idris' reaction when I saw her wearing a wedding dress.

Idris was silent for a moment, before finally blinking a few times. “Beauty once.”

“Nona Winston is indeed very beautiful. Your Majesty is very lucky,” comments Tory. “What Does Your Majesty want this dress?”

“Yes. Just follow Charlotte's choice,” says Idris.

“Good, Your Highness.”

The curtains were closed so I could change the dress for my dress. It didn't take long for me to set the delivery dress. After choosing a dress, I invited Idris to lunch.

“Do you have any recommendations for our wedding theme later?” Idris asked during lunch.

I smile. “I just want a simple wedding party but still do not reduce the impression of luxury. If decorated with white flowers, I will be very happy.”

Idris nodded in understanding. “Good. I'll say it to the subordinates.”

“Thank you,” my word.

I remained in the Imperial Palace until we were about to have dinner together with the Dominic and Harriston Families. In addition, Idris still did not want to leave me and accompany me wherever I wanted to go.

The ones who dressed me up for dinner this time were the Imperial maids whom I know serve the Queen. I replaced my dress with the one Chloe had prepared before leaving for the Imperial Palace. The material is just as thin as the one I wear all day.

I held onto Idris' muscular arm and entered the Empire's dining room. The door was opened by the guards and I could see that Grand Duke Dominic and Duke Harriston were waiting for us at the dinner table for dinner.

“May Your Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Winston be blessed Goddess of Virtue,” greetings them simultaneously while standing.

“Sit,” says Idris.

Idris chose to sit next to me and we started our dinner. If I don't remember wrongly, here we are talking about marriage and the pros and cons of me being Idris's partner.

Now, Marchioness Franklin must have taken another noble's heart to remove me from the position of Idris' fiancee.

“Thank you for inviting us to come over for dinner together with you, Your Majesty,” Duke Harriston said.

“Well, you are the ones who accepted Charlotte as the future Queen,” Idris said bluntly.

“Now Marchioness Franklin has begun to gather the nobles and herd their opinions to reject Miss Winston,”, said the Grand Duke. “If this continues, Miss Winston will be desperate. Especially if they withdraw this matter to the High Court.”

“If it is about the Empire, Marchioness Franklin is not kidding,” said Idris. “Do we need to get the attention of the people of Vanhoiren?”

“Sorry interrupts. But if you want to get the attention of the people, it doesn't help at all,” I told Idris. “Basically the people of Vanhoiren have always accepted the things done by the Empire. They do not want to be involved in any problems and tend to bodo.”

Grand Duke nodded. “What Miss Winston said is true. We better not attract the people to this,” said Grand Duke agreed.

Now, surely Idris wants to use the nobles who worked with my father to get a supporting voice. I better tell you first so Idris doesn't get any more attention.

“If I could give you advice. How about we attract the nobles who cooperate with my father's business. There are so many famous nobles that we can ask for help,” my proposal first.

Idris was surprised at me. However, he finally just smiled and nodded. “Good capsule, Charlotte. But let this problem be taken care of by the men.”

I can only nod too.
