Chapter 18

Bertia 18 Years Old (2)

 

 

Part 2/4

Translated by LynneSuzuran & Senhiro

 

Now then, after that, our wedding ceremony rushed through turbulent event after turbulent event. Although it was extremely hectic, it was also fun.

 

Following the wedding ceremony in the cathedral, because the[bouquet toss] was not originally a custom of this world, I didn’t know how many people would open to the idea. Therefore, it was only going to involve the unmarried women who were close to us, but… Upon explaining the gist of the event, some unmarried women among the foreign guests requested to participate as well.

Such as a foreign princess who was anxious over her betrothal selection, with her bloodshot eyes… with a serious expression, so that she could participate, she promised, “This is just something informal. There won’t be any objections afterwards. If there is still trouble, the Alphasta Royal Family will deal with it appropriately as the royal family, and any acts of ad hominem are strictly forbidden.” Therefore, I approved her participation.

 

Then, just in case, since it was the part of the event, there would be only one bouquet that would be tossed, but we also prepared one for everyone who participated in the event. Therefore, we hurriedly prepared other bouquets to give to all participants.

 

In other words, though only one would be thrown for the event’s sake, we had already prepared a bouquet to bless one’s luck in marriage (maybe) for each and every one of them, so don’t too heated over the single tossed bouquet, okay?

 

In this kind of situation where many influential people gathered, we had to avoid our wedding ceremony being seen as stingy if some trouble were to arise from getting worked up over it.

Therefore, since I knew that Bertia had stealthily prepared several matching bouquets filled with the hope that everyone would be happy with the person they liked for her friends aside from the bouquet that’d be tossed, I took the liberty to put that to good use.

However, I felt a bit guilty about mixing her consideration for her friends were with the [prudence bouquets], so the [matching bouquets] were only for her friends. I arranged for something else to be given to the others.

 

 

Even though it was kind of unexpected, there was a bizarre excitement about the [bouquet toss].

The women’s bloodcurdling competition the moment the bouquet left Bertia’s hands was slightly terrifying. But the atmosphere turned harmonious once it was over, so I thought everyone enjoyed it.

 

By the way, the one who received the main bouquet was… Kuro.

 

After she lightly jumped and caught the bouquet midair, Kuro brought it over to Bertia with sparkling eyes, to which Bertia involuntarily cried, “Kuro, this is not [Fetch]!!”. Truthfully, it was amusing.

Then, in the end, Bertia thoroughly explained the meaning of the event to Kuro once more, and after Kuro was properly aware that the bouquet now belonged to her, the [bouquet toss] ended, but… I’m a little concerned with how Kuro, after Bertia’s explanation of, “the person who obtains this will become the next happy bride”, stared at Zeno who was standing in a corner of the venue.

 

Later, I advised Zeno, “You can’t lay your hands on a little girl, okay?”, but I was answered with, “Age doesn’t matter for spirits!!”. I wonder what he means by that?

I understand that their physical appearances are just a guise, but if possible, I’d like to avoid having rumors going around about how my attendant is a terrible person who lays his hands on little girls.

After that, we left the cathedral and headed towards the royal palace. What welcomed us on the way was the civilians who congratulated us as they clapped their hands, cheered, and said congratulatory words… and an incessant rain of countless of flower petals.

No, to be more precise, the flower petals were my arrangement.

 

[Flower shower], “It would be wonderful to have flower petals raining down incessantly when we exit the venue,” was written inside the [List of things I want to do for my wedding, Best 100] that Kuro gave me, so I had Zeno work hard to make it happen.

I requested via Zeno for a large quantity of petals from the spirit of flower lineage. Then, I asked for servants from Charles and the others’ households to distribute the gathered petals among the civilians lining the route, making it possible to prepare something called a [flower shower] through the journey to the royal palace.

 

Even though it wasn’t that far to the royal palace, there was still some distance, and since it was something so sudden, it had seemed like it would be quite difficult to pull off. However, the participating civilians looked like they had fun, and above all, Bertia’s eyes were glittering in delight, so everything was good.

I’ll pay the participants an appropriate remuneration out of my own private funds as a symbol of my gratitude, later.

 

 

At the marriage reception, there was some work left such as greeting the guests and performing the first dance as we were the leading parties. However, with the cooperation of my father and the others, we managed to put aside some time to do as many events as possible.1

 

The first of which was something that Bertia said she would like to do no matter what, [cutting the cake].

When she first brought it up, it’s not that I thought it was just something like “because Bertia likes sweets,” but when she said, “I want it to be the first thing we do together,” I was a bit intrigued.

At the same time, I secretly thought to myself, “Did greeting the guests and the first dance not count as the first thing we did together?” but it would definitely be too insensitive, so I didn’t actually voice it.

 

[Cutting the cake] itself was something that Bertia had already asked for beforehand, so I had already included it in the schedule, which meant it was good that things could proceed smoothly without changing the schedule again, but…

Even for this, there was something written in the [List of things I want to do for my wedding, Best 100] that Bertia hadn’t mentioned before.

 

Apparently, that was something called the [first bite].

According to the explanation from the list, the [first bite] appeared to be an event where after the bridge and groom cut the cake, they eat a slice together.

It seemed that when the groom asked the bride to eat, there was an implied meaning of, “We can eat together from now on,” and when the bride asked the groom to eat, the meaning was, “I’ll always make you a delicious meal”, but… in the royal palace, there are a lot of exclusive chefs, so there’s no need for Bertia to cook, though? So I thought.

 

No, of course I didn’t say this out loud either, okay?

Regardless of how reality would play out, what was most important thing was the intention behind it, so I wasn’t as boorish as to mention that.

 

It seemed that Bertia had gone to a wedding in her previous world or something and had seen this [first bite] thing, and decided she absolutely wanted to try it for herself.

Besides, when she saw that [first bite], it seemed that the parents of both the bride and the groom were called forward in order under the pretense of giving a demonstration first, which was followed by the bride and the groom going through it themselves.

 

In the list, Bertia’s commented, “It was extremely lovely so I want to try doing it! But… it’s impossible to do so for the wedding of a member of the royal family. Especially asking the parents to model it, as it would mean asking Their Majesties the King and Queen to do that”.

She had surely been holding back without saying anything even though she wanted to do it.

When I thought of that, I wanted to at least grant her wish of eating the cake together.

It also didn’t take up much time or many expenses, after all.

 

 

That was why, before [cutting the cake], I brought this up in secret to my father and mother, and then to Marquis and Marquess Noches.

As I expected, they were hesitant due to embarrassment, but… when I asked with the couple was present at the same time, both husbands were totally onboard.

Under the justification that it was [for the children], it seemed that they wanted to be lovey-dovey with their beloved wife in public.

 

Although both wives showed hesitation due to the embarrassment, upon seeing that their husbands seemed to be looking forward to it, and upon hearing my story about how it was Bertia’s desire that she’s thoughtfully kept from us, they agreed to it more or less.

As a result, [cutting the cake] and the [first bite] from the [examples] could all be fully completed.

    Age is just a number… just like prison sentences.

    • Lily

      Especially those hefty life sentences.
      I can already see the end of Zeno’s days as a free man.

      • Sgt.Tin

        Someone go call F.B.I. I will go restrain Zeno until then.

        (But it seems like Kuro already approved of him becoming her spouse)

    • LynneSuzuran

      I LOL-ed reading this!! XD

      • Coco

        Jail is just a room.

  2. simi

    thanks so much for this chapter!

  3. Helikany

    That “first bite” thing sounds super cringey… I have been to a few family weddings, but I don’t think the first bite was a thing at any of those…

    • Rain

      I have only seen it in funny videos where it turns into a food fight instead.

      • maho

        In some cases the couple do smash the cake into each others faces

        • LynneSuzuran

          That will be very interesting to see XD

    • LynneSuzuran

      Perhaps it’s a culture difference?
      In Asia, there exists such a culture and I remember I’ve definitely seen that “first bite” thing~!

      • Bobby

        Most likely.
        Heck, our traditional wedding ceremonies in here almost have no resemblance to western wedding ceremonies at all. It’s boring as shit. After seeing wester wedding ceremonies from movies, I can honestly say that I’m somewhat envious, and dream of having something similar for my future wedding. Although I’m honestly not sure if it’s that easy to accomplish due to my traditional bloodline (it’s frowned upon not to use the traditional wedding ceremony).

      • Bella

        It’s quite late but I’m from a Malay culture and there exist the culture of first bite here in the wedding.. Though some will do it with cake but the traditional way is doing it with “pulut kuning” it’s like sticky rice cake but in yellow colour.. The husband and wives will feed each other at the same time.. It’s a normal scene in a wedding and a must do in a wedding..

    • F

      Ah, I’ve always seen them, it’s a common practice in my country.
      It isn’t really that cringey, you’re pretty much just spoonfed cake to your parents and then to each others.

  4. Sarafina

    I am so happy about my ship being validated!!!

    • LynneSuzuran

      Exactly what I felt when I translated this!! XD

  5. Alex

    Thanks for the chapter!

  6. Rain

    Thank you for the update. I did expect the two spirits to like each others. Maybe Kuro can change her look slightly to look a bit older?

    • LynneSuzuran

      And that was also very unexpected to me that I was so happy when I translated this part XD

  7. kirindas

    Thanks for the new chapter!

  8. Sgt.Tin

    Thanks for the chapter desu and…….

    Zenoooooooooooooo~!!!!!!! You damn lolicon!!!! And here I thought it was safe because of that book the prince found under his bed in the past, but seems like time can change even spirits.

    Well, as long as Kuro have no problem with it. I will tolerate.

    • LynneSuzuran

      Yup, because consent matters and they’re spirit, different from humans XD

  9. ANMORAVE

    OMG KURO?!
    ASFGADSAJSHBKD

  10. Crims

    Whoaaa when I actually happened to ship Zeno and Kuro in manga a little, reading this made me glad they’re not entirely impossible! Thank you so much!

    • LynneSuzuran

      Aww I’m happy to hear people feeling the same thing I felt when I translated this part ;__;

  11. Nerara

    Hahahahaha Bertia is one lucky girl! And lols at the Zeno & Kuro ship, it’s official guys!

    Thanks so much for the translation ❤️

    • LynneSuzuran

      That happiness you feel when you see your ship sails XD

  12. Sinag

    Kyaaa! All ships are sailing! I was shookt with Zeno’s reply. Really caught off guard!

    • LynneSuzuran

      The translator was also caught off guard here XD hehe!

  13. Carlos

    This way the kingdom gained a lot of traditions for its wedding ceremonies

  14. Rachel

    FBI! OPEN UP!!!

    Lmao, Zeno !

  15. Heiress_Aries

    Thank you for the massive update!

    • LynneSuzuran

      You’re welcome ^^

  16. Garlic

    Small blooper, ‘bridge and groom cut the cake,’ it’s bride and groom’

    Thanks for the chapter!!!??

  17. black_Leviathan

    I am suprised at the translator being female. Somehow I perceived this story as something targeting males who wish for a sweet romance and only saw the shoujo tag just now. Well, whatever. Romance targeting young women/women is in most cases better than romance targeting males, because those mostly have harems. Though reverse harems are equally despicable.
    On a site note: I really wish to replicate that wedding, I would like to experience the same thing in real life. That sweetness is definitely enviable. ^^

    • ChunLing

      It’s actually gold-digging that’s (approximately) equally despicable.

      Reverse-harem is like a story where the guy mooches off a woman who works too hard to have any social life (or kids) to support his extravagant life-style.

      Of course, standard otomege reverse-harem usually has the gold-digging cranked up to eleventy-one, so it’s like a guy mooching off a bunch of women who work too hard to have any life…wait, that’s ends up being exactly the same thing, isn’t it?

      Lol.

  18. SunnBurst

    Because of the Manga Adaptation of this, i binge read it from the start and it was truly satisfying how events turned liked this. The Manga also hinted a ZenoxKuro ship when he carried her like “bride” that part when Cecil and Bertia escaped Heronia faking to be asleep under the trees. Im glad it really happen. What would be Zeno’s and Kuro’s child would be?
