The Royal Deal

s on every table made it even more glamorous.

Alexcent wore a black suit that usually made him appear cold and difficult for anyone to approach.
But today, when she saw him at the venue, he just looked handsome and gentlemanly.
It was probably because he was smiling at her.
His black suit highlighted his platinum hair.
His scarlet eyes held determination and resolve, which was more than she could say for herself because she was shaking in her boots.

‘Why am I so nervous? It’s not even my first wedding, or even a real wedding.’

Amethyst couldn’t help but feel grateful that her veil was covering her face.
Otherwise, her flushed and tense face would have been exposed.

“Look at you! You do look as beautiful as Cinderella, or better yet as Princess Pyeonggang.”

“Alec!” She whisper-shouted at him for his teasing.
Even on a day like this, he was teasing her.
But thankfully it had helped to calm down.

Alexcent suppressed a laugh and offered her his hand, which she gladly accepted.

The two started walking towards the temple where their marriage would be blessed.
To their left were Empress Belice and Duke Roden, and to the right was her family.
Besides them, only a few close relatives of the Lohikins were present, making the wedding hall appear spacious.
Many noble families and relatives of the Skad Household were waiting in a separately arranged estate for the after-party to celebrate the new couple.

As per Amethyst’s standards, it was a grand wedding, but as per Alexcent’s it was a small wedding.
Despite the many weeks of preparation and hard work, the ceremony quickly came to an end.
The priest officiated the marriage vows, and they recited the marriage vows kneeling, then signed their names on the marriage document.
Finally, Alexcent lifted her veil and kissed her chastely.

With that, the wedding came to an end.
For Alexcent, who hated long boring weddings, it was a relief.

Up next was the after-party.
All eyes were focused on the newly wedded bride and groom.
The highlight of the party was, of course, the dance led by the couple.
Everyone who had been invited was unable to hide their excitement.
They would finally be able to see the famous Prince Skad and his dancing skills.
Even he would not be able to avoid dancing with his new bride.

On the other hand, Amethyst was tense for the very reason.
She pulled his sleeve and whispered quietly.

“Alexcent, I-” She cleared her throat to control the tremor in her voice.
“I don’t know how to dance.
What should we do? I’m scared I’ll ruin everything.”

She looked like she was about to cry.
Alexcent kissed her on her cheeks and whispered back to her.

“Don’t worry.
All you have to do is look into my eyes and follow my lead.”
