88 [21] Wedding Day

The hasty days passed quickly afterwards.

The night before the wedding.

I have to get up early tomorrow and put on makeup and clothes. Nina wanted to go to bed early, but in the middle of the night, somehow my mother came to the room.

My mother's story was as long as usual.

"Nina, okay? Speaking of marriages like this, if you marry, you will be the housekeeper of the house, so don't be selfish as ever.Don't let Yumeyume Milord dazzle you and let you go home.... "

Nina turned around and played with her nails, as usual, listening to her mother in the middle of the conversation.

However, along the way, my mother gradually began to use words because she realized that she was swallowing tears, and she was surprised and jumped her body instantly.

"- Oh, I'm worried."

My mother was crying.

"I can't believe my daughter is going to my wife tomorrow."

My mother pushed her eyes down with a handkerchief, so Nina rolled up on that side.

I can't believe my mother cried. Reach out to her shoulders and lean back gently.My mother's body smelled perfume that I had been able to smell since I was a little girl.

"Besides, I'm not going far just because I'm married.I don't know about the future, but I'll be in King's Landing for a while. "

In a words of consolation, my mother slapped Nina's eyes.

"What do you do with that attitude!In order to get married, you must be prepared to never go back to your family again. "

"Ah, yes... I know."

My mother and I really don't have the same direction of caring, and we don't talk about it.However, Nina didn't rub so much that she didn't feel anything crying over Nina.

"Good thing. Your husband will be your husband from tomorrow.Always follow your husband and dress up nicely to be loved by him. "

"Yes, Mother."

In the meantime, Nina thought her mother would be relieved if she nodded honestly.

"No matter what happens, you're in a good mood to laugh.Pay close attention to your husband's parents and to the old servants of the house.You're just a stupid figure, so if you fail, you're always in love with others to help you. "

"Yes, Mother."

"Then, before I marry you, if your father says anything to you, you don't have to listen."

"Yes... eh?"

For the first time, I might have heard a word against my father from my mother's mouth, as if she was living a life in which she only obeyed her father's words.

"Father may have said something else.But it's fine. That's what going to your wife means. "

I still don't know what my mother says.

"Become obedient to your husband, not your father or brother."

But my mother blesses Nina with a disgraceful face that tears off her usual elegant makeup.

"That's how you live, love, and happiness, Nina."

"... yes, Mother."

How does it feel to give my daughter to my wife?

If Nina were as old as her mother, one day she would cry like this.

I'm sure you'll be happy.

At that time, can you understand my mother's feelings a little?

Music, song, and dance were indispensable for the wedding.

On that day, the wedding of Nina, daughter of the emerging aristocracy of the northern Petra, the Earl of Chimeno, and Leandro, son of the southern protagonist Casha, took place glamorously in the newly built city of Vauela, the new king.

Not the wedding style of the nobility, but the wedding became a grand event that involved the people of Ichii who had just moved to the new king's city.

If this day had been a traveler who visited King's Landing without knowing anything, he would have thought this day to be some sort of festival day.

The groom, together with his relatives and ministers, picks his wife up at the bride's house.

From there to Kasha's Mansion, the boulevard will be walked by many people in rows, but it seems like it would take many times as long for people to walk along the boulevard with blessings, like cheerful people dancing freely everywhere.

"Exactly what I thought. These dresses look great on you too."

On the way to the splendid queue, Leandro praised Nina's outfit today.

"I had heard in advance that you were wearing a veil, but when you look at it like this, the pure white veil is gorgeous and very beautiful in the sun.Here, take a look.Everyone is blinded by the beauty of the bride. "

It is he who gathers all the admiration and hot gaze from the town's daughters.From the direction in which he waved, his daughters' yellow screams seemed amusing.

Leandro was walking with a truly gorgeous smile in a flashy traditional primary color costume.

According to Jimeno's relatives, the first day he came here to see His Majesty the King, it was a similar sunny day.

The southern tradition, which is sometimes thought to be barbaric from the center, is transformed into confidence and pride without any shame, thus paving the way for a new path.He's a member of the family, and from today on, Nina.

"Congratulations, Mr. Leandro."

"Now please take your wife shopping with you."

"Please visit the tavern once in a while, even if you have a family!"

Some of the citizens who came to dance with each other on foot, hung from drinks and behaved, approached Leandro with a kind word of congratulation.In just a few months since he came to King's Landing, he seems to be selling his face to various people in the city.

Adults had alcohol, children had sweets, and everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun.

A child who has been given sweet treats jumps off the custard in a good mood.

Then the adults also beat the drums.There were people playing whistles, lutes, and instruments Nina didn't know, and they sang and danced to the music.

Compared to Leandro, there were fewer citizens who spoke to Nina.

"Well, you're a beautiful bride.May happiness be a bridge in the divided history of our Petras. "

Nina gently grabbed back the hand of a defiant old woman.

Nina, who was raised as a noble daughter, has never had much to do with each of these people in the city.They must have hated the nobles who controlled them.

Emerging aristocracies, such as the rapidly aristocratized Earl of Chimeno, which consisted of the ruling class, have considered the origins of being a Petra to be somehow shameful and hidden.

In the ruling structure with the traditional royal aristocracy at the top, it is a kind of family that has come so far by chasing away compatriots and laughing at each other as a mere licking of wounds such as getting along with the lower people.

However, not all of these values are permanent.

This country is changing.The large vortex was still in motion, and the country may have been in a dramatically changed turbulence.

The line of singing and dancing proceeded along the New Capital boulevard at noon and was finally about to end.

There was a shadow of a crowd slightly in front of the brides.

Nina was completely accustomed to being spoken to by the people of Ichii in the last few hours, so she didn't notice any discomfort until the woman came in and shook her hand.

Wearing plain clothing like a citizen, the tall woman's hand was a clean, well-maintained hand to her fingertips that could not be found in the working class.

"...... eh..."

"Congratulations on your marriage."

"! Ugh..."

--Your Highness, she shouted and quickly shut her mouth.

Isn't it customary not to show your face at the wedding of a subordinate?

... is that why you're so patient?

You'll be mad at me for dressing like that again.

You're as light as you ever were.

Nina was really surprised by the surprise, and instead of being surprised and choking, tears spilled out of her eyes.

Last night was a tear that I should have endured, but the truth is, I may have endured crying all the time today.

"Oh, don't cry.I can't believe the bride cries on a happy day. "

"... I'm crying happily."

When she rubbed her eyes appropriately, Her Highness looked at Nina with a slightly troubled smile as usual.But the eyes were kinder than usual.

"May there be a lot of success in your life from now on. Peace and blessings."

Peace and blessings.

Standing around Her Highness, the crowd probably didn't know who she was repeating the same words.I don't know Nina. Typical sushi words used in the south, I'm sure.

- It's you.

The truth is, I'm sure it's better for someone in a dress like this to laugh in the sun.

If nothing had happened, she would have been happy in freedom, as her ancestors had always done in the south.

She can't walk satisfactorily outside without dressing up as a common man now.

Even though you have to live in that cold royal palace with a face worthy of a family queen standing at the top, she is so strong and beautiful that she can laugh so beautifully in the hope of human happiness.

"... to you, too"

She is changing history.

For a radical transformation of this country, we will firmly put our feet on the ground to confront the unfinished national disaster that will surely happen many times from now on.Stay close to her husband.

May God bless you.

The queen, a party to history, laughed with a calm smile today and with no preparedness.
