Chapter 92

Zachary additionally agreed with Iellie’s phrases.

The Emperor had affairs with quite a few girls and was even obsessive about the following mistress of Hessenweitz… so being the spouse of such an emperor could be a superb place with honor however no affection. Apart from, what concerning the duties she must shoulder because the Empress?

“By the way in which, Len.”

When Zachary kissed her neck briefly as he opened his mouth, Iellie turned to him on the ticklish contact.

“Earlier than that, aren’t you… kissing me too usually?”

“I feel you retain taking a look at me like a baby.”

Her face turned pale at his smirk. In the meantime, Zachary continued in a sluggish tone.

“I’m attempting to precise myself as a person, too.”

“…Even if you happen to don’t make that sort of effort, I see you as a person sufficient.”

As Iellie finally turned her gaze away as her face turned crimson, he set free a gentle snicker and nodded his head.

“I’m glad you suppose so. By the way in which…”

“By the way in which?”

“Isn’t it higher to consider our marriage first than the wedding of the Emperor and Woman Rondo?”

She was hit on the top. No, that was proper.

Iellie rolled her eyes.

“Are we not going to have a marriage?”

“However, do we actually want a marriage?”

Iellie’s questioning voice left Zachary speechless for the second. Nonetheless, she expressed in a transparent tone.

“Apart from, we already registered our marriage.”

“Nonetheless, it’s a pity simply to report the wedding and be accomplished with it.”

“I believed you don’t like troublesome occasions like that?”

She all of a sudden remembered Zachary’s coming-of-age ceremony. Whereas he faithfully attended his personal coming-of-age ceremony, it was extra of an obligation. Taking a look at him, she thought that she mustn’t hassle Zachary.

Oh, that wasn’t it? She tilted her head.

“Len, I would like you to be acknowledged because the Mistress of the North.”

To be sincere, I don’t actually care so long as I’ve you.

Iellie, who was about to reply that, all of a sudden stopped. It was as a result of Zachary’s eyes had been so critical. As he gazed into her eyes, he persevered.

“Anyway, we acquired married once we had been too younger… I hadn’t even considered a marriage.”

A big hand lined her cheek, and he spoke to her with a tragic and apologetic face.

“I really feel like every part you deserve has been taken away.”

“….”

Listening to the low voice combined with guilt, Iellie rolled her eyes, however Zachary actually meant all his phrases.

A lot of the nobles used to have a splendid marriage ceremony ceremony. Even amongst nobles, they took satisfaction of their household by the dimensions of their marriage ceremony, so there was no means she would have such a possibility when she married for money owed as an alternative.

‘Len is somebody who shouldn’t be sufficient even when I give him every part.’

Apart from, he was decided to have this marriage ceremony, even when solely to make it clear that she was the Mistress of the North, simply in time for the Emperor to carry his imperial marriage ceremony. Unusually, a spirit of competitors flared up inside him.

“Why are you so critical, Zachary.”

At the moment, Iellie laughed, attempting to lighten the temper. She patted Zachary on the again of his hand.

“I’m positive.”

“I’m not positive.”

“Is there any purpose to not be positive? Oh, by any probability…”

She glanced up at Zachary with a mischievous face. Then, along with her mouth gently curved, she requested a query.

“Do you need to see your fairly spouse in a marriage gown?”

“Oh. After all, that’s a sure matter.”

“….”

Zachary’s stern reply left Iellie at a loss for what to say as he patted her on the top.

“Anyway, I feel it’s time to get critical concerning the marriage ceremony, Len.”

“…By some means, you appear to be treating me like a baby.”

He was continuously stroking her hair, cheeks, and brow from earlier than. Iellie’s face grew to become sullen. Nonetheless, he simply did that whereas gazing at her with lovable eyes.

‘…Effectively, if he’s completely happy.’

Caught in his arms once more, she thought so. Iellie truthfully thought she favored it.

Since he was so keen about her marriage ceremony, it appeared that she must present a few of her will. Considering so, Iellie referred to as the butler over and began speaking concerning the marriage ceremony price range.

“I don’t suppose we have to make a giant price range for the marriage.”

“Sure? What do you imply by that…”

The butler’s face appeared considerably confused at these phrases, and he requested again. Seeing his response, Iellie was bewildered. Did she say one thing she shouldn’t?

“In spite of everything, Zachary and I’ve been married for a very long time.”

“What does the marriage price range should do with married life?”

“It’s like having a brand new ceremony for people who find themselves already married, so why hassle?”

Iellie sincerely didn’t perceive the aim.

Nevertheless, the butler nonetheless seemed like he didn’t perceive her as effectively. The butler, who appeared to be significantly eager about one thing, opened his mouth cautiously after some time.

“Maybe the Duke wouldn’t need that…”

“Zachary? Why?”

Confused, she widened her eyes.

That… The butler gently caught the tip of his tongue. How might he say that the Duke had nice expectations for this marriage ceremony and that he wished to carry a splendid marriage ceremony ceremony that may not be inferior to anybody else…?

He solely smiled awkwardly.

“…No. To begin with, I’ll inform His Excellency that.”

“Okay, let’s try this.”

Whereas Iellie nonetheless seemed a bit puzzled, she politely nodded her head.

‘Effectively, the butler will handle it and inform Zachary effectively.’

Even when it wasn’t so, Zachary, who had simply inherited the Duke’s title, had many issues to handle. Not desirous to problem him for only a marriage ceremony, she determined to maintain her marriage ceremony easy.

No less than the merchandise that she determined to arrange with additional care was the ‘marriage ceremony veil’ utilized by the bride.

‘Effectively, a marriage veil is crucial even at a marriage.’

She supposed to name in seamstresses from the Duke’s citadel to have the marriage veil made. She additionally wished to have a marriage with the folks of the Duke’s citadel, so she didn’t even consider an expensive marriage ceremony from the start.

That they had already lived as a pair since she was a little bit lady and had accomplished sufficient to stay a married life, so she thought that there was no want for extra. That was how Iellie felt comfy.

‘Wouldn’t or not it’s positive to name the priest, take heed to the message, and invite among the family to have a meal collectively…?’

Nevertheless, Iellie’s ideas and Zachary’s ideas had been vastly totally different.

“…Len mentioned that?”

When the butler conveyed Iellie’s needs, Zachary, who was buried in a mountain of papers concerning the new title, requested.

As he nodded, Zachary pushed away the paperwork. The butler’s face swiftly changed into a mournful expression the following second as he glanced on the paperwork that had escaped the Duke’s consideration.

‘No, he has to take a look at all these paperwork in the present day…’

Nevertheless, when it got here to ‘Iellie,’ Zachary, who was changing into probably the most resolute on this planet, didn’t appear to have time to deal with papers anymore.

“No.”

Zachary muttered, squinting his eyes. Even so, he and he or she divorced and acquired again collectively not too way back.

Her emptiness was nice, so he wished to provide her the perfect in every part.

‘…Apart from, I made Iellie undergo.’

He, subsequently, supposed to make up by making this marriage ceremony as lavish as attainable. Nevertheless, since Iellie was going to have a easy marriage ceremony, this was completely not allowed.

“Okay, let me meet Len in individual.”

After saying that, he shortly stood up whereas the butler swallowed tears inside and watched the grasp disappear into the space. Irrespective of how positively he tried to consider it, the mountain of paperwork appeared to face agency till the Duke and his spouse come to an settlement on this marriage ceremony.

“Len.”

“Sure?”

“Why didn’t you name the jeweler?”

And as quickly as he went to search out her, Zachary threw a query like that with out hesitation. Iellie, who was engrossed in budgeting, gave a puzzled look. She had by no means anticipated that.

Nonetheless, Zachary opened his mouth with a critical face.

“You’ll additionally should contact the dressing room to get the stuff you want for the marriage.”

“Za, Zachary…?”

“I believed you had been busy as a result of I couldn’t see your face correctly today.”

He seemed a bit uncomfortable.

In the meantime, Iellie began to surprise if the rationale why he was uncomfortable was as a result of she didn’t present her face to him usually or as a result of she didn’t contact her jeweler and dressing room.

“I heard you didn’t say a lot to the seamstresses besides to weave the marriage veil?”

“Sure, it’s. However…”

“It’s unhappy that I couldn’t see your face correctly today, however it was due to the marriage preparations, too.”

…Maybe, each causes had been appropriate.

‘Oh, my husband.’

Iellie smiled awkwardly.

“Is it due to the price range? Come to consider it, you mentioned you wished to maintain the price range low. You’re the mistress of Hessenweitz. Don’t fear about that…”

“No, not like that!”

By some means Zachary’s creativeness appeared to stretch within the fallacious route, so she shook her hand and hurriedly defined.

“Effectively, Zachary, you look busy today.”

“What?”

“You might have simply taken on the title of Duke, so you could have quite a bit to handle.”

Saying so, she patted him on the shoulder. Zachary turned sullen and turned to face her.

“So I used to be simply attempting to not hassle you.”

“…Len, no want for that.”

Zachary uttered that with a really unhappy face. His face was so sullen that she felt responsible despite the fact that she hadn’t accomplished something fallacious. He continued to mutter to Iellie, mixing in between sighs.

“Seeing your face is a relaxation for me.”

“Ah, is it…”

Sometimes, he would make embarrassing remarks like this. Iellie smiled with an embarrassed face.

“Effectively, it have to be a bit troublesome to be busy with a reasonably spouse like me.”

Despite the fact that Iellie performed a prank to alter the disaster, Zachary doesn’t even take into consideration letting go of his critical expression.

“Len, you recognize me too effectively.”

“….”

“As a result of I not often see your face today… It was actually exhausting.”

His honest reply left Iellie at a loss for what to say, and Zachary stroked her hair.

“Anyway, I’m significantly contemplating having a marriage with you.”

Sure, the expression on his face appears to say that… Ellie nodded gracefully and intertwined her fingers with him. It occurred to her that some consideration needs to be paid to their marriage ceremony.

And the following day.

‘It doesn’t matter what, isn’t this a bit an excessive amount of…?!’

Seeing the jewels and materials that got here in countlessly, Iellie was frightened. Now, this case was far out of the class that she anticipated her to be. The dimensions of the marriage she thought she had and what Zachary had thought had been vastly totally different.

“Zachary, what are all these issues?”

Stunned, she seemed for Zachary. Whereas trying on the paperwork, he rolled his eyes at her and smiled.

“Why? Is there one thing lacking?”

“No… Quite, it’s a drawback as a result of it’s an excessive amount of.”

Iellie narrowed her eyes. No, what had been these big gadgets that had been despatched with out discover? Silk, jewels, lace, and every kind of luxuries abound.

Zachary tilted his head.

“What’s an excessive amount of?”

“…Are you asking such a query like that as a result of you haven’t any concept?”

At her phrases, he narrowed his eyebrows barely earlier than he folded the information with a snap and gazed at her with a twisted gaze.

“I don’t know. What’s fallacious with that?”

“I guess the Imperial Household wouldn’t trade that many presents, proper?”

Iellie shrugged her shoulders. After all, she, too, married him and lived a life feeling the wealth of the Duchy on her personal pores and skin. Nevertheless, what stunned her was his distribution of such riches casually.

“After all, it’s best to try this.”

However, Zachary nonetheless seemed up at her whereas resting his chin, considering it was an apparent factor to do.
