Chapter 1375: Wedding Dress and Bouquet

~7 min read 1,357 words

Princess of the Ice Kingdom, Prince of the Morna Kingdom, Duchess of the Black Forest Duchy, Leader of the Conservative Party of the Oleson Kingdom... Isn't this list too long?

Looking at the guest list that stretched from one end of the table to the other, then twisted in a circle and was pulled back in front of her eyes, Princess Veronika, wearing a snow-white wedding dress, couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her nose. She asked the lady-in-waiting with slight dissatisfaction:

"Didn't I say that the entire wedding ceremony should be kept as simple as possible? What is going on with this guest list?"

"Your Highness, when I drafted the list, I indeed followed your requirements."

The lady-in-waiting, who was helping her attach the veil, felt a bit aggrieved upon hearing this:

"But after I sent the list to the Protocol Department, they rejected it twice in a row. Finally, they combined your succession ceremony guest list with the wedding guest list, and then..."

And then it became like this, right?

Looking at the shockingly long list on the table, which was enough to wrap her up like a mummy, Princess Veronika fell silent for a moment, then could only shake her head helplessly.

The person in charge of the Protocol Department was an elder from a branch of the royal family. Although he held no real power, in terms of seniority, he was two generations older than her own father. Moreover, he had no children, no desires, and no cravings. Unless she went to him personally, it was likely that no one else would be able to get anything done with him.

Since the wedding process was handed over to him to arrange, it was likely that no matter how much she tried to simplify it, it wouldn't be simple at all. It was bound to be extremely cumbersome. Hopefully, Li Ang would be able to handle it...

Thinking of the stunned look on a certain person's face when he was taken away by the Protocol Department, Princess Veronika couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth. She then tossed aside the annoying guest list, stood up, walked to the full-length mirror in the fitting room, and turned half a circle while holding the hem of her skirt with both hands.

As she turned, the wedding dress, whose long train had not yet been attached, spun lightly around her slender waist. The delicate lace and layers of thin tulle intertwined, covering her beautiful body while also outlining moving curves that made one's heart flutter.

Two rows of exquisite emerald leaf buttons replaced the collar buttons on the side of the wedding dress, climbing diagonally up along the waistline. They passed over the ample mountains that would make all women grind their teeth in jealousy, and beneath the hateful covering at the lower edge of the deep valley, they supported a bright and brilliant white rose.

"How is it?"

Looking at herself in the full-length mirror, her eyes and brows filled with anticipation, Princess Veronika couldn't help but bite her lower lip, then asked with a slight lack of confidence:

"Is this wedding dress pretty?"

"..."

"What's wrong?"

After waiting for a long time without hearing a response, Princess Veronika couldn't help but turn her head back, asking with a bit of worry:

"Why aren't you saying anything? Is it not suitable?"

"I... Ah!"

Hearing the Princess's inquiry, the lady-in-waiting, who had been lost in thought, shook as if waking from a dream. She hurriedly closed her mouth, which she didn't know when she had opened, and shook her head repeatedly with a look of envy:

"No, no! It's very suitable! You look stunning in this wedding dress!"

Stunning?

Seeing the lingering look of amazement in the lady-in-waiting's eyes, Princess Veronika breathed a sigh of relief. She turned back around, looked at the ample beauty with a blooming smile in the full-length mirror, and said with satisfaction:

"Then I can rest easy. Your taste has always been the best... Let's choose this one!"

"Okay!"

Seeing that Princess Veronika had finally decided on the style of the wedding dress on the day before the wedding after hesitating for several days, the lady-in-waiting let out a heavy sigh of relief, preparing to go out and inform the people waiting outside the fitting room.

However, at this moment, Princess Veronika in front of the full-length mirror seemed to have discovered some unsatisfactory points and suddenly called out softly.

"Hmm... Wait a moment!" Supporting her heavy burden with both hands and squeezing slightly toward the middle, Princess Veronika, who had turned to the side, looked at her slender waist and asked with some worry:

"Can the waistline of this dress be made tighter? If I wear it like this, will Li Ang think I'm a bit... fat?"

"Not fat! Anyone who says you're fat is definitely blind!"

Jealousy looking at the Princess's flat abdomen and the shockingly perfect, surging curves above it, the lady-in-waiting, whose eyes were burning, shook her head repeatedly:

"Your Highness, you are the most beautiful right now, and the transition of the curves is the most appropriate. If you force your waist to be tightened, it will look abrupt instead. Please, please don't change it anymore!"

"Is that so?"

Hearing the lady-in-waiting's assessment, Veronika stretched out her arm covered in white tulle, gently pressed her abdomen, looked at herself in the mirror, and nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, it really is best like this... Then I won't change it. Let's go with this one!"

Phew... finally passed the test...

Looking at the Princess who refused to leave the full-length mirror and was still trying to pick out flaws, the lady-in-waiting, fearing she would suddenly change her mind again, hurriedly changed the subject:

"Oh right, Your Highness! Miss Anna has already chosen her bridesmaid dress and has been waiting for you outside for a while."

!.

Is Anna already waiting for me?

Hearing the lady-in-waiting's reminder and discovering that she had actually kept Anna waiting for so long, the Princess had no choice but to leave the mirror reluctantly, holding the hem of her skirt and walking quickly toward the outside of the fitting room.

Hearing the sound of the fitting room door, Anna, who was holding William with her left hand and Melanie with her right, fearing that the two little demons would cause trouble, let out a long sigh of relief and rose to greet Princess Veronika.

"Sister Veronika, you... Ah!"

As her eyes adjusted to the light spilling from the fitting room and she saw the wedding dress on Princess Veronika, Anna couldn't help but subconsciously cover her lips, saying in surprise:

"You... this wedding dress of yours is too..."

This wedding dress of mine?

Looking at the surprised expression of the slim young girl, although she felt it shouldn't be a "negative" evaluation, Princess Veronika still subconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt and asked with some worry:

"What's wrong with the wedding dress? Is it not suitable for me?"

"No, no, it's suitable, especially suitable!"

Looking at the Princess, who was usually steady and elegant but had become anxious because of her unfinished evaluation, Anna couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling that her older brother's "sins" were heavy. She then said softly with a look of envy:

"I was just a bit stunned... Sister Veronika, you are really beautiful right now. I don't even know where to look."

"No, no!"

Having received high praise from her beloved's younger sister for the wedding dress she had carefully selected, Princess Veronika's heart finally settled completely.

However, just as she affectionately took Anna's arm, wanting to say a few intimate words to her sister-in-law, she felt the hem of her skirt being pulled gently.

"My most gentle, beautiful, generous, kind... unique, irreplaceable sister-in-law!"

Secretly counting on her fingers and stuffing all the good words she had learned into the prefix, Melanie, wearing a small-sized dress, looked up with a face full of anticipation and pleaded:

"When you throw the bouquet tomorrow, can you throw it toward me?"
