Time flowed past like a river. The royal wedding slowly approached and so did the Leader’s Convention. As Natalia wrapped up the preparations for the wedding, she presented her idea to the Queen during Afternoon Tea. Natalia soon discovered she and the Queen were very similar. They were practical people who knew how to systematically plan things to work in their favor. “You wish to construct a building like a salon where people can view and discuss theater?”“Yes, your majesty. I assessed the problems and found this to be the most practical solution,” she replied. The documents she prepared with the help of Temara, Sebastian, Amaika and Marvis were in the hands of the Queen. She went through them critically, looking at the rough draft of the architectural design of the building. “So this is your plan to separate the noble class from the commoners? The design is not all bad. I’ve seen your brother’s work so I know I can count on you. When is this project slated to start?”“It has alr
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 80: Welcome Party
The person in charge of greeting and getting the delegates settled was the Second Prince, Timothy. He was someone heavily involved in international politics and trade so he was more familiar with the delegation from other nations. However, since the people of Polivia were very conservative and liked to keep to themselves, his standing was lower than his sister's. Nonetheless, he was a strong contender for the throne alongside his sisters.The delegation were welcomed in the guest palace where they were all staying. The unique architecture of Polivia and the sky tube always awed foreigners when they came to Polivia. A welcoming party was held for all the wedding guests in the Queen's palace, where everyone basically attended except Natalia. "It's a pleasure to meet your highness of Polivia again," Marquis Orland greeted. The princess gave a courteous response, still holding Sebastian's hand. He had on a neutral expression as always, less pleased because his sister could not attend so

“Hang that up there……yes, that goes there…..what do you mean we ran out of red cloth?! I specifically ordered for extra……Sebastian took everything…..find me that bastard!....you know what, never mind. This is messing with my head,” she sighed, holding her head. Count Umel appeared by her side out of nowhere, taking the list in her hand. “You haven’t slept in three days. Please, for the love of the gods, you need to rest, even if it’s for a few minutes. I know you won’t be attending the wedding publicly but you haven’t even taken a bath or worn your ceremonial clothes. We are NOT letting you miss the royal wedding.”“Fine. Where's Marvis and Amaika?”“Sir Jane is with the royal guards supervising the events and Sir Amaika is helping Lord Sebastian get ready. The red cloth he took was necessary, you know?”“If there’s not enough red at the event, people would talk. You need to get more so we can decorate. The brighter the scarlet, the better.”“Need any help?” Duchess Everon asked from
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 83: Royal Wedding (2)
"I want to offer my sincere congratulations on the success of the royal wedding. It was without a doubt one of the most elegant and elaborate weddings I've ever seen," Crown Prince Reagan greeted the Queen and King of Polivia."Thank you for your kind words, Crown Prince Reagan. We truly couldn't have achieved this without help from our spectacular wedding planner on whose behalf we have been receiving compliments all afternoon," the Queen replied."They must be very talented. I would love for the opportunity to meet them and ask if they could plan my wedding as well.""I would make sure to relay your thoughts to them as soon as I see them.""Are they not present here?""Unfortunately, they had somewhere else to be after the exchange of vows ended so I cannot introduce them to you as of now. But please, enjoy the reception, your Imperial highness.""Of course, your majesty," Reagan bowed, leaving the Royal couple alone after he was politely dismissed. He scanned around for someone int
The Duke's Unwanted Wife Strange Attraction
It was almost impossible for Princess Temara to overpower Sebastian despite having considerable strength. He was able to flip the situation right away and land on top of her, this time binding her hand. They breathed heavily, looking into each other's eyes. "Your highness, you…..""I knew it. You're regretting this marriage.""Of course not. Please don't misinterpret my actions. Just listen to me first. I don't regret this marriage. This…..is my first time being intimate with a woman. I….don't know what to do. I don't want to embarrass you."".....Seriously?" ".....yes," he nodded, averting his eyes shyly. He let go of her hands and moved aside and let her sit up. The purity standard was not as strict in Polivia as it was in Ducroft so the women had the freedom of expressing themselves sexually in Polivia. In Ducroft, only the men could express themselves sexually with freedom. Even with those circumstances, Sebastian, the paragon of sexiness, wealth and attractiveness, had never to
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 85: The Great Era of Theater
The construction of the theatre was finally completed a few days after the wedding. Natalia, who spent the last few days with Marvis in her quarters, hiding from Reagan, inspected the construction with Sebastian's and Amaika's help. She prepared for the launch while she hid and when the day came, she was finally back out in public. Several people had been invited to the launch, including the foreign dignitaries.The nobles gathered in front of the magnificent structure with a large signboard with a calligraphy that read 'Adamantine Theatre'. It was clear who it was named after and many of the nobles had a mixed reception. The Queen had already laid it bare when she told them about it but everyone wasn't quite sure what to expect. A large ribbon separated everyone from the building. Sebastian held a a pair of scissors in one hand and his wife's hand in another as he gave a speech that was originally prepared by Natalia for herself. "I want to thank you all for succumbing to your curi
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 86: Reagan's Persistence
"Duchess Everon, why do I have the feeling that you're avoiding me?""I couldn't, your imperial highness! We always attend meetings together.""But you never leave an opportunity to meet you separately. It makes me feel uncourteous for meeting you like this. I was hoping we would get along.""I couldn't possibly hope for something like that from your imperial highness.""That's something people say when they don't want anything to do with me. This is the second time I've been rejected by a woman. It's a little painful." "How could I reject your imperial highness? It's nothing like that, really. There's a big difference in our stations so I cannot be that selfish as to ignore that. I cannot jeopardize my kingdom's chance at allying with the great Empire of which your imperial highness is the crown prince.""You speak quite well. All the women of Polivia are very outspoken. I feel like you'd make great wives.""Thank you for your compliment, your imperial highness."Polivia was one of
The Duke's Unwanted Wife 87: God Trial
“You have only just ascended yet you want to do a god’s trial?”“I didn’t think there was anything wrong with that. Does your infinite wisdom find something wrong with this?”“I can detect sarcasm, you know. I understand wanting to do a god’s trial but why are you coming to me? You couldn’t possibly be asking me to do it, could you? No, no, no, no! I refuse!”“Quene, you’re the god of wisdom. Who else is more qualified than you?”“I stopped doing god trials thousands of years ago. Even if gods came to me themselves, they always complained about how harsh my trials were. I lost a lot of worshippers because of that. I’m sorry Madaline but I can’t help you.”“Quene, you might not be an original god but you’re the oldest elder god. The very first to ascend. Why is it that you behave like the least of the gods?”“Isn’t it because I’m the god of wisdom?"Don't wisecrack with me. You need to do this trial. You're the only God I trust in the heavenly court."".....fine. Give me a few days. On
