Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

The day was dark. Clouds covered the sun and everything looked dull beneath the gloomy sky. Even the decorations adorning the outdoor reception hall looked lifeless.

It was all far too dismal for a wedding day.

Leah, who would be standing before everyone that day, was already feeling suffocated. Her tight corset made it difficult to breathe, and she felt imprisoned, surrounded by so many people. The bride had not even been permitted water for some time, but no one seemed to care.

She looked beautiful in the mirror. Her white wedding dress was so spotless, it seemed like a shame to risk the least dust. Looking at herself in the dazzling gown, Leah suddenly felt nauseous.

She wanted to tear that perfect dress to shreds, throw it on the floor, and spit on it. She had to resist the urge to clench her fists. One of her ladies-in-waiting was doing her nails. They had to be trimmed so she would not damage her royal husbands skin during their first night, and after they were done, her lady slipped lace gloves onto her hands, and then her engagement ring onto her finger.

Just as they were about to put on her veil, her ladies-in-waiting stopped at the same time. An intruder had entered the brides chamber, which should have hidden until the wedding.

Dressed in an elegant suit, Blain entered her chamber. It was a common belief that it would be bad luck if the groom saw his brides face before the wedding, but Blain didnt care. Far too many other things had already happened.

“Get out, all of you,” he ordered, shooing everyone out of the room. It left only Leah and Blain in the room, but he didnt approach her. He just leaned against the door and watched her.

“……”

The two had not seen each other for a long time. After he had ordered Leah to be made into a doll, Blain had never looked at her. Now he just stared at her in her white wedding dress for a long while, and then turned and left without a word.
