Chapter 964 – Preparing for an Auspicious Day
“Venus hasn’t even become emperor yet, and he’s thinking of doing something incredibly outrageous.”
Arisa, who had a shocked expression, crossed her arms and began to moan for a long time.
“I’m a little embarrassed to say it as a person, but it’s definitely unprecedented.”
“It’s not just unprecedented. Is it okay to do it this way?”
After taking one look at Hedone, who was embarrassed, Arisa leaned back in her chair and tilted her head.
“No… It’s not like it’s clearly said that the coronation ceremony shouldn’t be held that way…”
“Even when the princess discussed it, and even after the story was over, there were no nobles who strongly objected.”
These were the words of Leda Archibald, the daughter of Deacon Archibald, who was standing behind Hedone and a member of the Emperor’s Shadow.
“I thought everyone would keep quiet in front of the princess with a lock on her mouth, but I didn’t know that she wouldn’t say a word after that.”
“It can’t be helped, right? Venus came up with a ridiculous solution.”
“Because it was certainly unprecedented, it seems to be a very difficult situation for the nobles to strongly refute or express their opposition by saying that it cannot be done.”
Since these were the words of Leda, who, as the emperor’s shadow, could still find out the minds of the nobles in various ways, Hedone felt relieved, even if only a little.
“Personally, I think it would be better to have Hedone’s wedding in a very grand and grand manner.”
“I dare say that, as it is a wedding that only happens once in a woman’s life, I think it is better to make it big and grand.”
“I know how you feel too… Ah, welcome, you idiot princess.”
It was the princess who opened the door and appeared. As soon as she confirmed that her door was open, Hedone stood up from her seat with a smile on her face, walked up to her princess, and gently hugged her.
“Did you have a good time talking with Arisa?”
“Of course, foolish princess. Did you send the others off well?”
“Of course. There were so many people welcoming me that I almost couldn’t return to the imperial palace. Haha!”
The princess, laughing as if at a joke, very gently pats her hedone’s buttocks and back, and after feeling her warm embrace once more, she slightly moves away and sits down on the chair she has prepared.
Ceres, who was standing behind her, skillfully placed a drink full of ice in front of the princess.
“It was an inevitable sendoff since everyone had to return to Galagon and then to Gregory.”
“I wish Queen Hestia and Princess Hailey could stay at the palace a little longer, but it can’t be helped.”
“Isn’t there a country that everyone rules over? It’s impossible to tell them to stay in the imperial palace for 1,000,000 years.”
The princess took a few sips of her drink and shrugged her shoulders a few times.
Haili and Hestia were not the only ones who returned to their countries. Just as the waves crashed in and out, many of the women who came here to help the princess returned to their positions.
In a way, it was natural, and only Arisa, who was relatively ‘free’, could remain in the imperial palace.
“Anyway… I was really surprised this time. How did you come up with the idea to throw such a gamble? Did Ceres-san tell you?”
Ceres only smiled slightly at Arisa’s words.
“Unlike Arisa’s thoughts, it was purely something that occurred to me.”
“Really? Venus came up with the idea of having a coronation ceremony and a wedding at the same time?”
“Isn’t it difficult? Isn’t it the day you become emperor of an empire where the sun never sets anyway? Isn’t it a bad thing to marry my beloved Hedone right then and there as soon as I become emperor?”
It wasn’t something that was out of etiquette, nor was it something that was out of common sense.
“I think it’s just unprecedented.”
“Hmm… Well, to be honest, as a noble with countless people, there is little pressure as two huge events are taking place at the same time.”
Arisa scratched the back of her head and looked at her princess’s face.
“Venus… You didn’t even calculate that?”
Haha, wouldn’t it be fun if I said things like that?”
“He really… Lived alone for a few more years, and the already snobbish side of him got worse.”
Arisa chuckles and nods her head.
“I think Leda has already told you, but I’ll say it once more. Most nobles are not likely to be strongly opposed to your plan.”
“We are in a situation where we don’t even have the power to oppose.”
“Hmm… As expected, it seems that there is no one who is so courageous as to openly oppose what I am trying to do in bringing down Abamama.”
“Isn’t opposition something that can be justified? Who can stop the princess who ended the tyranny of Emperor Jupiter from marrying her beloved Hedone on the day she becomes emperor?”
After Arisa said that, she sighed and shook her head.
“Personally, what I find a little disgusting is that if Hedone’s wedding had not occurred at the same time as Venus’ coronation, many nobles would have struggled to do something, if not the opposite.”
“I guess the foolish princess was worried about that, so she said she would marry me at the same time as her coronation?”
At Hedone’s words, the princess nodded while drinking her drink.
“It was inevitable. Not all nobles in the empire where the sun never sets are greedy, but the fact that there are some who are greedy cannot be denied.”
“It’s just as Venus said. If there are 100 nobles, it’s the emperor’s fault that even if only 10 find fault with them, it’s a pain in the ass.”
“I’m sure there are nobles who are very dissatisfied with the fact that I, who has nothing, is becoming empress.”
Hedone smiled and pointed at himself with the tip of his finger.
“I was even created by Emperor Jupiter. Although no nobles know that fact, it does not change the fact that I am still a woman of unknown origin who does not belong to any noble family.”
“That’s the point… It’s truly shameful and disgusting, but it’s probably the tactic pursued by the nobles who oppose the marriage between Hedone and Venus. Venus, who ended Emperor Jupiter’s tyranny and became emperor, is not even a noble… Hedone brought in by Jupiter. It’s obvious that you should marry a more distinguished nobleman!”
“Perhaps they would naturally wish to marry one of the Trinity… Queen Hestia or Princess Hailey.”
“If those two become empresses, there is no reason to stop them, and they are the women of the highest rank among the nobles to begin with.”
The princess smiled bitterly.
“In that respect? It was a very, very good idea for Venus to hold a grand coronation ceremony as soon as she sat on the throne and say that she would marry Hedone.”
“From the nobles’ point of view, it would be impossible to oppose the symbolic meaning of marrying the fiancé with whom the princess went through difficult times the moment she ascended the throne.”
After hearing Ceres’ words, the princess held Hedone’s hand tightly with a proud expression on her face.
“I hope my thoughts were helpful to you.”
“Suddenly you say something stupid.”
“Isn’t this the story of how I proceeded as I please? As it is, wouldn’t you want your wedding to be a little bigger and more stylish, unlike the coronation ceremony where you are the host, with you as the main character?”
“Says truly befitting a princess…”
Hedone slowly lifted the princess’s hand, which was holding her own, and kissed the back of her hand.
“I’m not going to be a bridesmaid at the coronation ceremony. All I want to do is watch the princess I love so much become emperor from up close and be forever tied to her on such a happy day.”
“If you think so, I am so happy that I can’t express it.”
“Of course I’m happy. I can’t help but be happy. I was born to give birth to the princess’s child, right? That a woman like that is not just a backroom person, but becomes the princess’s first wife, so I can receive an even bigger congratulation on such a happy day? I can’t help but be happy. .”
The princess smiled brightly, and you were so amazing that she hugged her hand tightly, pressed against each other’s chest, and kissed her cheek while making a sound.
“And… Honestly, there’s something scary about it.”
“Is there something scary?”
She looked at Arisa because she was an unexpected princess.
“There is something to be afraid of… Ah, ah, ah, ah! Sure! I understand. I understand that!”
Arisa tilted her head and clapped.
“Hedone is a homunculus created by Emperor Jupiter. She has no friends with whom she spent her childhood. There is no one she can call an acquaintance, right?”
Arisa thought for a moment that she had said something too harsh, but then she looked at Hedone.
Fortunately, Hedone smiled and nodded her head.
“Yes, that’s a little scary. Later, when we hold a separate grand wedding. If only my sisters are sitting there where they are supposed to congratulate me, that’s right… I think it’s just that, but it’s a nuisance to the princess. “I wonder if it’s not.”
Haha! Don’t worry! Even if something like that happens! It’s just a matter of concern to me about your feelings.”
There will also be nobles who shamelessly do not participate in her wedding, using Hedone’s status as nothing.
“The more I think about it, the more I think Venus will plan things well.”
Hehe! Things seem to be going well… Until the coronation ceremony takes place!”
As she spoke about what happened a day or two later, the princess lifted Hedone by her waist with both hands, sat her down on the table, and began to place her mouth on the nape of her neck and her chest.
“What are you doing now? Venus, are you crazy?!”
“What… What are you doing? If Arisa doesn’t mind, we can join…”
“No!! I’m not talking about sex! Oh, really! You! You! Furthermore, you decided to have the coronation ceremony just a few days later! Furthermore, you also decided to marry Hedone at the coronation ceremony. Do you have the spirit to have sex?!”
Arisa let out a breath as if she was exasperated and smacked the princess’s buttocks with her palm.
“Can’t I do it? I’m not a virgin anyway…”
“Ah!!! Really!! Why is this story about a virgin?! There’s no answer as a couple?!”
Arisa holds her brown hair with both hands and looks at her ceres.
“Kuhm… Princess? Lord Hedone? It’s fine to enjoy it, but there’s something you have to do first.”
“… I have something to do? Isn’t the coronation ceremony in a few days anyway?”
“Since you have decided to have a wedding along with the coronation ceremony for the princess, you must inform the entire empire where the sun never sets that the coronation ceremony will be held. Also, since it is the day the princess becomes emperor, you must wear new clothes that are suitable for such a day. At the same time, since the coronation ceremony will be held in a grand manner, you must make a plan to purchase the necessary items.”
As Ceres continued to speak, Hedone and the princess made embarrassed expressions.
“Also… You don’t plan on wearing the same clothes to the wedding, do you? Both the princess and Hedone need to wear dresses that suit the wedding properly.”
“Yes! You idiots! You’re not planning on getting married without a wedding dress, are you?!”
In front of Arisa, who had a shocked expression on her face, Hedone and the princess looked at each other’s faces and laughed very awkwardly.
“Ha… Haha, how could it be possible that I didn’t even think of that…?”
