Vol 10. Chapter 3: Best Man and Bridesmaid
“They actually haven’t been together that long if you think about it, right?”
Leon said while opening the invitation.
Rosvisser nodded.
“Not very long indeed. But Constantine is the Red Flame Dragon King, and Orion has inherited Blazing Sun City. For two leaders, marrying this quickly is normal.”
Leon gave a thoughtful “oh.”
“I see. Even though they love each other, marriage still has to consider relations between the two clans — that’s why it’s happening so soon.”
“Yes. There are probably other factors too, but that’s their private matter.”
Leon finished opening the letter and skimmed past the formalities.
“The wedding is in half a month… location… Sky City?”
He blinked.
“I thought they’d hold it in the Red Flame clan or the old Blazing Sun City. Didn’t expect Sky City.”
Rosvisser crossed her legs and rested her chin on her hand.
“It’s because of status. Both are leaders — holding it in either territory would be inappropriate. And Blazing Sun City doesn’t have a truly neutral ground like Sky City, so Sky City it is.”
After a pause, she added:
“Besides, Sky City is ideal — diverse culture, very inclusive. Any style of wedding can be done there.”
Leon nodded in understanding.
Then he narrowed his eyes.
“…Why do you sound so experienced, wife?”
Rosvisser smiled — a smile hiding danger.
“Because I’ve imagined our wedding countless times and considered all of this beforehand. So…”
She tugged his collar and pulled him closer, whispering near his ear:
“So when our wedding happens, dear husband, you’d better prepare everything perfectly.”
General Leon immediately nodded.
“Of course. Definitely.”
She released him and tidied his collar.
Leon continued reading.
“Constantine also asked me to inform the Empire so the Lionheart Order can send a representative. Apparently they saved his clan when Shadow attacked.”
There was nothing else.
Leon put the invitation away.
“He really thought everything through. Then Rebecca should go — she’s wanted to visit dragon cities ever since the war ended.”
Rosvisser nodded.
“Half a month later happens to be summer break. The girls will be on holiday, and Noa is home, so we can take them too.”
“No problem.”
After scheduling attendance at the wedding, the couple returned to paperwork.
…
…
A week later — sanctuary backyard.
Noa lay on a bench beneath a willow tree, basking in the noon sun.
A small tuft of hair popped up from behind the bench, followed by a cute face.
Moon blinked her blue eyes and softly called:
“Big sis~”
No response.
“Did you fall asleep?~”
Still nothing.
Looks like she really slept.
Moon glanced around to make sure no one was there and inhaled deeply to build courage.
She leaned toward Noa’s cheek — but hesitated.
“No no no! If I’m caught stealing a kiss I’ll get spanked…”
She subconsciously rubbed her bottom.
But she glanced again at Noa’s sleeping face.
After struggling a moment, she clenched her teeth.
“Even if I get spanked, I can’t miss this chance!”
She carefully leaned in again, painfully slow so as not to wake her.
After all that effort, the kiss still hadn’t landed.
“You should hurry, Moon. I’m not very good at pretending to sleep.”
“Ah! Big sis!”
Moon instantly aborted the kiss and jumped back.
“I-I was just passing by!”
Noa slowly opened one eye, smiling faintly.
“Passing by? That looked rather deliberate.”
She stood, grabbed Moon’s wrist, and before the girl could react — gently kissed her cheek.
“Learn properly. If you kiss someone, do it decisively.”
Blushing, Moon still asked:
“Where did you learn that?”
“Mom and Dad.”
“…Never mind.”
Noa held her hand.
“Come on. Uncle Constantine and Hefei will arrive soon.”
“Okay!”
Moon’s mindset had completely changed.
After the Magic Eye battle, she learned Noa had flown into a furious rage upon hearing Moon was corrupted — determined to kill the Magic Eye.
That proved how important she was to her.
True family hides love deep in the heart rather than constantly showing it.
The sisters arrived at the front courtyard just as Constantine landed with Hefei.
As soon as Hefei touched ground, Muse ran over.
“Hefei!”
“Muse!”
The friends hugged and happily tangled tails.
Noa, Moon, and Aurora joined them. After greeting the adults, the girls went to play nearby.
Leon warned them to be careful, then turned to Constantine.
“You’re getting married in a week and still have time to visit me instead of your fiancée?”
“There’s always time to visit friends before marriage,” Constantine shrugged.
Leon looked him over and smirked.
“Not a visit. You need help, right?”
Constantine smiled awkwardly.
“…That obvious?”
Leon spread his hands. “Not obvious?”
“Alright… yes, I need a favor.”
Leon smiled. “What is it?”
“Our wedding preparations are mostly done, but we’re missing two key roles.”
Rosvisser raised an eyebrow.
“Best man and bridesmaid?”
“Exactly.”
Leon looked surprised.
“Dragon weddings have that too?”
“Recently many procedures came from Sky City, which blends many cultures,” Rosvisser explained.
Leon nodded.
“But the wedding is in a week and you’re only thinking about this now?”
Constantine hesitated.
Leon expected a serious reason.
Instead Constantine sincerely nodded.
“Yes.”
“…Fair enough. A dragon who didn’t even understand romance reaching marriage is impressive enough.”
Leon sighed, then asked seriously:
“So you want me and my wife to do it?”
Constantine shook his head.
“No — they must be unmarried young people.”
Leon protested:
“Technically we’re unmarried despite having several children.”
Rosvisser covered her face.
“Why would you be proud of that?”
She sighed.
“We’re unsuitable. It has to be truly unmarried youths.”
Leon thought.
“Wait — Theresa from Blazing Sun City is unmarried and Orion’s close friend. She even took over the guard after Orion became city lord.”
“We considered her,” Constantine scratched his head, “but… special circumstances. You’ll understand in Sky City. She’s not suitable.”
Leon scratched his hair.
“I see…”
“If you don’t have anyone it’s fine. I’ll ask elsewhere,” Constantine said.
Leon thought rapidly.
Then suddenly...
“Hey! I just thought of someone—no, to be precise, two people. I can get you both a best man and a maid of honor in one go!”
