Chapter 2228: What are you doing here?
"Have you not seen him yet?"
That was the question that was asked the most at this wedding.
Noah had sharp ears, so he naturally heard everything that was said.
However, he just acted like he didn’t hear a thing.
He didn’t need to ask to know who they were all referring to since there was only one person that they could have been referring to.
But he had already sent that person away.
In the first place, this wedding was supposed to be helping that person by being a distraction. So it would be strange if he actually showed himself at this place since that would mean that it wouldn’t function as a distraction.
Though when he thought about it, Noah did realize that it was a bit of an oversight that he had sent his brother in law away.
Without his brother in law, there were rumours that they were on bad terms.
In the long run, this might have a negative effect.
Only that thought was blown away when he saw his bride.
As soon as Sakura appeared, it seemed like there wasn’t anything else that really mattered. There was only her that was in his eyes.
He had never seen her like this, so naturally he was very enticed by this scene in front of him. Noah even acted like he was trying to remember as much detail about the sight in front of him as possible.
After all, this really was a sight that he never seen before.
In the first place, Noah was indeed in love with Sakura.
It was something that had developed when they were both young.
Since Shadow One was a shadow guard that was dedicated to protecting the royal family, it was only natural that she had met Noah in the past since he was a former prince.
When they met each other, it wasn’t as if they developed feelings right away.
In fact, it had been Noah that had fallen in love first.
Since Shadow One spent time around the royal family, she had shown quite a bit to them.
Namely, Noah had once found her training alone.
Seeing the way that she trained and everything that she put into her training, it really was hard for the young fourth prince not to fall in love. He was quite the simple one, he loved someone that worked hard.
It was just that there had been the divide between them because of their status.
Now that he had made all this work, Noah really wouldn’t let her escape.
When Sakura came forward and saw the way that Noah looked at her, there was a blush that appeared on her face. However, this man was her future husband, so it wasn’t as if she would be that embarrassed.
They would have to see quite a bit of each other in the future as they were getting married.
After both the bride and groom arrived, everyone suddenly fell silent as they waited for the ceremony to begin.
It was just that when it began, everyone couldn’t help being caught off guard.
"What are you doing here?" Noah asked the one that was officiating the wedding.
It wasn’t a normal priest that was here officiating the wedding, it was his brother in law that was here.
But the reason why Noah asked this wasn’t because he didn’t think that this brother in law of his wasn’t qualified. It was that the whole plan was to have this wedding to distract everyone from where his brother in law was.
Which was why he had to ask him what he was doing here when he saw him behind the altar.
Zwein just seemed to ignore him as he continued reciting the wedding speech.
With how well he was doing, it really looked like he was a proper priest.
In the end, there was no one that actually stopped him even though there were a few that seemed to be questioning whether he was qualified.
Though that soon disappeared when the Holy Empire’s priests were even praying at this wedding.
Since Zwein was the Holy Son of prophecy, it meant that he was more than qualified to officiate this wedding. In fact, it was even a bit overkill since he might even be considered on par with the popes of the different religions.
So everyone just accepted that he was the one that was officiating.
Well, everyone except for Noah.
Noah naturally wanted him to leave since he didn’t want him here.
In the pause during his speech, it seemed like Noah was about to say something to Zwein.
However, he stopped himself when he heard what Zwein had to say.
"I’ll be leaving soon, I was just showing myself to make sure that no one worries."
Though Noah didn’t seem like he was happy about this, he knew that this did fit the purpose that they were trying to achieve. Which was why he had no choice but to accept this in the end.
There was one thing that bothered Noah in the end.
There was no way that Zwein would have been able to do this without people helping him and the only ones that could help him were...
When he looked over at Sakura, he could see the way that she looked at him.
However, he didn’t dwell on it long since he knew that she had done this for him.
In the end, love trumped all and he just accepted it.
Though there was also a part of him that was happy that Zwein was here.
What he had wanted was a normal wedding and having his family be there was certainly one of those things.
But if one thought about it, this certainly wouldn’t have been considered a normal wedding with how many people were here. As well, the media coverage of this wedding really was considered excessive.
For now, he was just satisfied with the things that he had in front of him.
