Chapter 1379: Process and Hidden Badge

To be honest... I don't really understand...

The Princess, who had lacked nothing since she was a child but was very lacking in love, and Anna, who had lacked everything over the years but had never lacked the sincere treatment of her family, had such a huge difference in their situations that it was impossible for them to empathize with each other's feelings just because of one sentence.

Those remarks like "He doesn't love my money, but me," and the feeling of "I can be myself in front of him," were things Anna couldn't understand at all, making her dizzy.

However, even if she couldn't get the CEO perspective of Princess Veronika, looking at the different brilliance in the future sister-in-law's eyes when she mentioned her brother, the slim young girl's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally settled down.

"I... although I don't quite understand, I believe you."

After holding Princess Veronika's palm, Anna, who felt much more relieved, let out a long sigh of relief, then called out softly with gentle eyes:

"Sister-in-law, I wish you happiness."

Phew... successfully captured!

Looking at the recognition of herself as a sister-in-law revealed in her sister-in-law's eyes, Princess Veronika's mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile.

Through the night talk between sister-in-law and sister-in-law on the eve of the wedding, after completing the "conquest" of Anna, three of Li Ang's four siblings were already "her own people," leaving only the unreasonable Li, who would occasionally put up a stubborn resistance.

And because the time was set too tight, there was no time for rehearsal, Li Ang should be being tossed by those people from the Protocol Department, repeatedly preparing for tomorrow's wedding ceremony. As long as tomorrow's wedding passes, he will also become her person.

Perfect!

"Oh right."

Just when Princess Veronika was secretly happy, Anna seemed to have thought of something, and said softly with a hint of worry:

"Regarding tomorrow's wedding, I asked a little, is there a bit too much process?"

Wedding process?

Princess Veronika was slightly startled upon hearing this, then asked with confusion:

"Is it a lot?"

"Isn't this a lot?"

Unlike the Princess who went to bed early, looking at the process list that covered half a wall, Li Ang, who was forced to study late at night, couldn't help but complain:

"I can understand that there are many royal rules, but it's just a wedding, it really doesn't have to be this exaggerated, right? I won't be able to finish learning this even if it's dawn!"

"Your Highness the Prince!"

Upon hearing Li Ang's complaint, an old man whose eyebrows were two points similar to the Princess and whose face was as stiff as an iron shoe sole, couldn't help but thump his cane heavily twice, lecturing him with a look of anger:

"Etiquette is a very sacred thing! Besides the basic role of dividing status and highlighting power, elegant and dignified etiquette can also display your status and quality, and correct and compliant etiquette can gain the trust and love of the people!"

"Also, although the ceremony I set is cumbersome, you are a great noble from the Laien family after all. Even if you haven't undergone relevant training, you should be about the same after being influenced by what you see and hear, so how can you not even do the most basic carriage etiquette?"

"..."

Sorry, my position as the Duke of Lionheart was mixed up halfway.

After twitching the corners of his mouth at the serious old man, Li Ang said speechlessly:

"Can't you simplify this thing a little more? It's really not that I'm too lazy to learn. I've been trying very hard to cooperate, but the etiquette you set is a bit pathological. A carriage parade that only lasts thirty minutes, specifying how many times to greet guests on the carriage, when to stand up to greet, and when to sit down to greet is fine, but why do you even have to manage the direction of the greeting, whether the expression is friendly or majestic, and even the height of the raised hand?"

"Because these are all very important! As the partner of the future Queen, your attitude is Princess Veronika's attitude, and it is also the attitude of our entire Kingdom!"

Looking at Li Ang who seemed ready to give up, the old man couldn't help but thump his cane heavily again, and explained with a dark face and patience:

"Princess Veronika's succession ceremony and your wedding are to be held together. Envoys from various kingdoms, duchies, and city-states have sent over sixty messenger teams, and the total number of people present is nearly two thousand."

"And the attitude you show toward them is, in a sense, equal to the Kingdom's attitude toward the outside world. For example, if you are too friendly toward the Northern Kingdom, it is easy to be interpreted as kneeling and fawning. If you are not friendly enough toward the Oleson Kingdom, it may also be regarded as a signal of distant relations. These are all going to cause trouble!"

"Therefore, as the Queen's partner, representing part of the Kingdom's will, your expression and the direction you face must be carefully managed and absolutely cannot be slack!"

"..."

Alright... you have a point, I'll listen to you.

Although he still felt that the old man was making a mountain out of a molehill, Li Ang was not a person who would argue unreasonably. Since the other party gave a reasonable reason and he couldn't find a way to refute it, he could only follow the old man's rules, but...

"Don't require the angle of raising the arm, right?"

Looking at the nine different waving amplitudes specified on the wall, Li Ang couldn't help but complain again:

"The square in front of the palace, I have taken people to fight in... cough cough... I have taken people to visit before. If you look at the carriage from that distance, it's good enough if you can see whether I reached out or not. Setting these nine hand-raising amplitudes is completely meaningless!"

!.

"..."

That's true...

Although the old man with the shoe-horn face was pedantic, he didn't seem to be completely unreasonable. After hearing Li Ang's words, he nodded in agreement, then moved to the wall with his cane and crossed out an item from the list that was more than three meters long.

"Then delete the other waving amplitudes and keep only this one... By then, you just need to raise your right arm to this level, slightly above the brim of your hat, and keep your fingers together and forward."

Phew... after arguing with him for a long time, I finally saved some trouble... Wait! Seems like something is not quite right?

After trying to raise his arm according to the old man's requirements, Li Ang couldn't help but hiss, then subconsciously scratched the position under his nose.

"Buzz..."
