Claire reassured the two of them saying it was okay.At that moment, with a crackling sound, the servant brought something.”This is the wedding invitation list that Her Majesty’s Majesty has asked you to deliver.”It was a list of the names of the distinguished guests to invite to Clair and Oscar’s wedding.The Empress Dowager took care of most of the complicated preparations for the wedding, so there was nothing to do.I just had to check this.Claire took the list and read it slowly from top to bottom.”Well… … . uh?”Then, when I saw the name I knew, I stopped.The prince of the Babylonian kingdom was listed on the guest list.’If the kingdom of Babylonia… … .’It was the kingdom right next to the Lenchest estate where I went to find the Ruby’s relics last time.At that time, Claire had also encountered the people of the Babylonian Kingdom.”Why are you doing this, Vision?”Olivia asked, blinking her eyes.”It’s nothing… … . Have you two seen people from the Babylonian kingdom?””yes! When I was a kid, I saw a person who came to play in Hwangseong and came to visit as an envoy. He was a very fat grandfather.”Olivia muttered. Christine, who had been silently listening, lit up her eyes.”I’ve never seen it, but I’ve heard of it often. You said that the men of Babylonia were so handsome?””Oh, I heard it too. In the first place, the men in the Lenchest estate are really cool too!”Claire nodded her head at the two of them.”I’ve seen it. I met a young man who looked like a noble or royalty, and he was very handsome.””really?”The two urged them to talk in detail.Claire pondered her memory and told her about the man she had met then. When I told them about the exotic feeling that their dark skin color gave, expectations rose on their faces.”A young prince of Babylon will attend this wedding, right?””I heard you’re single, haven’t you heard anything?”Claire shook his head. Although he’s trading at the top, he didn’t pay much attention to it because he didn’t have a lot of trading volume.At first, the Babylonian kingdom was too close to make much money through trade.”I am so looking forward to it.””I’ll have to pick up the wedding dress again.”At the words of the two of them, Claire just smiled as if it was cute.Olivia looked at Claire like that and said.”Our visionary… … Of course, you don’t seem interested at all. Is it because I don’t need to look at you just to tell you so much?””Right. His Majesty the Crown Prince, please neglect His Majesty too much.”The two grumbled. Claire couldn’t say anything and just smiled awkwardly.It’s a chore, but somehow I felt sorry that only Oscar would be cursed.”I want to tell you to try dancing with the male guests who come as guests, but… … . I will wait for that banquet to be a wedding banquet.” At Christine’s words, Claire burst into laughter. and she said”It’s not like you’re neglecting me. just… … .”Are you so obsessed with acting? My acting skills have increased… … ?Claire bit her mouth to say something.Seeing this, the two sighed sadly.Claire thought, stroking her cheek.’I have to do it a little. It’s getting more and more immersive.’It was probably wise for Oscar to say that we should keep our distance.Even if it doesn’t happen when we’re alone, there were times when I was confused because I was deeply immersed in people.’Do I really like Oscar?’If I sincerely express my affection to Oscar like this, how will Oscar come out?There were times when I suddenly had a question like that.This is all because Oscar is so handsome. So she has no choice but to be immersed like this.’for a moment.’then… … .’On the other hand, wouldn’t Oscar also be immersed in the setting so I could be reluctant and disliked?’Claire swallowed her saliva.Come to think of it, Oscar has been a little strange lately.From the day I said we should refrain from touching even in front of people.As Claire’s expression became more meaningful, Olivia and Christine left the room.* * *After that day, before her wedding, Claire began to watch Zer Khan more closely.Is it because I was thinking like that? She also seemed to be avoiding her toxic self by Zer Khan.Even Zer Khan didn’t seem to sleep in her bed.’Is it because I’m afraid that my flesh will come into contact with you?’He seemed to get tired of sticking around in front of people.Thinking about it that way, I felt a bit bitter in my mouth.I don’t know if it’s because of that, but Claire too, her behavior in front of Zer Khan became increasingly awkward.She kept avoiding conversations with Zer Khan, and even her encounters began to become uncomfortable.That nuance continued until the day of her wedding.She still acted in front of people, but the passion didn’t burn like before.She felt strange.Even though it was a contract marriage, the question of whether this was right arose.Obviously, the weight of the heart was different from the engagement.’Besides, Oscar seems to hate me a bit now.’Of course, it’s not that she really hates it, but the thought of what she seems to have came crashing down like an unstoppable wave.She is usually cool and clear self-judgment, but she seemed to be swayed by her emotions today.No matter how fake it is, it seems like it’s because it’s a wedding, so it’s more fresh. After she finished dressing up, Claire struggled to smile at her admiring maids and her maids.”I’ll bring you some hot tea.”After noticing that Claire was not feeling well for her, Olivia and Christine took her maids out.Alone, Claire stared out the window of her waiting room.In the banquet hall in the outdoor garden, people talked while holding champagne.Among the nobles, Cybill and Elliot, who arrived yesterday afternoon, were also seen.It was reassuring that the two of them arrived safely.However, even though I checked the faces of the two people I wanted to see the whole time, Claire’s mood did not improve.she’s smartShe heard a knock on the waiting room door. Oscar opened the door and entered.”uh… … .”Claire suddenly hardened like her broken kokeshi. She was a little surprised, because she never thought she would come until just before the wedding.shudder.Oscar, who came in with the door closed, approached with a slow pace.Oscar’s gaze was felt from the bottom to the top.Claire was embarrassed for nothing, and she looked at the pitiful ground. Oscar’s low voice was heard.”I have something to tell you.””… … .”Claire glanced at him, then opened his mouth slightly involuntarily. Oscar in her wedding robes is really… … .Her mood, which had sank, suddenly felt like she was ascending to the sky.The answer to the question I was wondering, ‘Even though it’s a contract marriage, is this right?’ was answered very easily.right. This is the answer. This is an opportunity that will never come again in my life. this is welfare”So… … . After the oath.”Oscar said hesitatingly. Claire, possessed by his appearance, came to his senses later and concentrated on his words.”why? Did something happen?””It’s not… … .”Zer Khan rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment and closed his eyes tightly.”You have to kiss me.””ah.”Claire suddenly felt like her good mood had cooled off.’Are you here to tell me to skip the kiss?’However, no imperial nation does not perform a kissing ceremony at a wedding.Moreover, suppose the Crown Prince does not kiss the Crown Princess at the wedding. In that case, people may doubt the authenticity of this marriage.Oscar knows that better than anyone.Even so, to tell me not to come here like this… … .’Do you hate me that much? That much?’Claire was dazed, as if she had been shocked.”Clair?”Zer Khan took her one step closer to her and called her name.Claire came to her senses and raised her head to look at him. There seemed to be tears in his eyes. It should never flow… … .”Why kiss? Don’t you want to?””It’s not… … .””… … Otherwise, why?””I’m afraid you’ll be reluctant because of what I said last time… … .”Zer Khan took a deep breath as he continued to speak.”I was sorry then. You lied.””What… … Go?””I was talking about refraining from touching in front of people.””… … .””Did I make a mistake? From now on, as before, so… … .”Oscar pondered what to say.So can you touch me? Is it okay to touch again? please touch meIt seemed strange to say anything.At that moment, a warm touch was felt between Oscar’s palms.”Does that mean it’s okay to kiss the vows?”Claire asked, grabbing his hand. Zer Khan drew in a short breath of his. His heart seems to have stopped.In fact, from the moment she entered her waiting room and saw Claire in a dress, her heart may have already stopped.Moist eyes, a friendly voice, and the warmth that penetrates the palm of your hand.Everything about Claire was so lovely that I couldn’t stand it.How could there be such a lovely being? How?
