Chapter 334: Marriage (2)
A wedding ceremony was undoubtedly a joyous and blessed occasion. Throughout history, this event had always been treated as sacred across all cultures and religions.
Conversely, that meant...
For such a big event, there was bound to be at least one bad blood relationship where people would feel uncomfortable just by sitting together.
“...”
“...”
“...”
In a small reception room where close relatives among the guests gather.
A woman with black hair tied in a ponytail tapped her wine glass with a very displeased look.
She was Professor Astrid, who had regained her original ‘body’. Unlike Armin, who bore the merciless marks of the passing time, she looked as young and radiant as ever.
Next to her was a maid politely standing with her eyes slightly closed and her head slightly bowed.
And stuck in the middle, sweating so much that his upper clothes were soaked, was Viscount Armin Campbell.
“...”
“...”
“...”
Not a word was exchanged between them.
Not. Even. A. Single. Word.
Eventually, the one who broke the ice was Astrid, who was glaring at the two alternately with dagger eyes.
“...In the time we haven’t seen each other.”
“...”
As Armin swallowed dryly, the sound of Astrid grinding her teeth echoed in the room.
“You’ve become quite close with someone I’ve never seen before, Armin.”
“Oh, my.”
As soon as those words fell, Bella, who had been standing quietly beside them, chimed in while slightly covering her mouth.
“I’ll admit it might look that way. But I have no intention of interfering with a peaceful married life. I’m not shameless enough to covet someone already taken.”
“...”
“...Though I might have eyed him if he wasn’t married.”
“What?”
“Nothing. I just hope your family is interested in hiring me as a personal maid.”
“...Oho?”
Astrid swirled the wine in her glass, still glaring at the two alternately.
“You’re not trying to seduce him, are you?”
“I’m not that kind of woman, you know?”
“Right. If only this guy had been more popular when he was younger.”
The conversation was far from what one would expect between the groom’s parents and the bride’s confidante.
So this is what it’s like when the century’s playboy has a wedding...
That was all the nearby staff could think, but...
Dowd Campbell’s womanizing reputation was quite famous after all.
They wondered just how many innocent girls have fallen victim to his vicious claws so far.
Also...
Dowd himself always wondered why women would flock to him in droves, but looking at this scene, there was no need to look far for the answer.
Making a maid who looked at least twenty years younger fell this hard in such a short time. That father of his was clearly quite something too.
...So Dowd lives through this kind of thing every day.
Of course, the man in question was groaning in intense sympathy for the battlefield his son had to face daily.
He didn’t even have the time to be happy about his suddenly resurrected wife, or angry at her disappearance, as he almost immediately got thrown into this disaster.
“More importantly, Astrid. What’s all this?”
Armin asked while pointing around.
There was something like a circular barrier surrounding the venue.
Of course, it wasn’t unnatural to have some security measures for a VIP wedding, but...
-!
-!!!
-!!!!!
“...”
From here and there...
Noises that sounded like banging echoed from outside of the barrier from time to time.
Accompanied with strange shouts like ‘But I’m telling you I’m friends with Dowd!’, ‘I’m not trying to interfere, I just want to say hello to the bride—’, ‘If you don’t come out I’ll kill you first’, and so on.
“Ah, this?”
Astrid snorted and looked around.
“There were so many people trying to crash the wedding, so Lady Tristan specially requested it be made.”
“...”
“Without this, the whole building would have been smashed to pieces, you know?”
He is my son, but seriously...
Just what kind of chaos has he been through until now?
For this level of technology to be deployed just to prevent other women from barging in... Also, what the hell are they trying to do?
“I’m sure things will calm down a little after the wedding”
Though he said that, those words would probably just become his own wishful thinking.
They said when a woman holds a grudge, frost would fall even in May and June
What do you think?
