Chapter 689 - 689 12 The Grand Wedding_1

689: Chapter 12, The Grand Wedding_1 689: Chapter 12, The Grand Wedding_1 Qiaomu County, the bustling abode of the Hollis family, is currently bustling with activity amid a cacophony of voices.

On this joyous day, Melissa, the protagonist, is filled with unease.

In a few hours, she will leave the place that raised her and enter a completely unknown environment.

Thinking of her few interactions with Hudson, Melissa feels both joy and anxiety.

It is good to have chosen a promising prospect, but this prospect has risen too quickly, far beyond her expectations.

She subtly feels that she is losing control.

And such matters can’t be shared with others.

Many people envy her without knowing how much she has struggled.

If she admits she’s losing control, there’ll be many people willing to take her place.

“Miss, it’s almost time.

You should get ready!”

The maid’s reminder pulls Melissa out of her dilemma.

“I know!”

The smile on her face reveals her inner joy.

No matter what, as far as it is concerned, she is undoubtedly successful.

Picking a Dragon Knight from many potential suitors proved her visionary decision making.

“The Count is a Dragon Knight, so the Giant Dragon will definitely appear.

I have never seen a Giant Dragon before.

Miss, have you seen one before?”

The maid’s incessant chatter makes Melissa roll her eyes.

She also wants to know what a Giant Dragon looks like!

But after the battle, both families started discussing the wedding.

As per the rules, the bride and groom can’t meet prior to the wedding.

Her aristocratic upbringing doesn’t allow her to violate such premarital etiquette.

Even when Hudson comes by, she could only watch him from hiding.

“What’s the hurry, won’t you see it later!”

Melissa said with a smile.

From her eyes, it can be seen that she has special sentiments for the talkative maid who has grown up with her.

Being a noble is not easy, and being a noble lady is even harder.

Behind the luxurious lifestyle lies complicated etiquette and a lack of familial warmth.

Count Orlan has always spoiled her since childhood, but that’s based on the premise of her family’s value.

As Hudson’s status continues to rise, her position in the mansion soars correspondingly.

Pure affection isn’t worth much here.

The other illegitimate children serve as an example.

Despite being part of the family, they struggle to have a word with Count Orlan.

A dragon’s roar signifies the arrival of today’s protagonist.

The guests all rush out to catch a glimpse.

Maxim’s large stature attracts all eyes.

If observed carefully, you’d notice he has grown slightly larger than a few months ago.

Such a massive size still growing could undoubtedly cause an uproar among the Dragon Race.

But here in the Human Race, most people’s knowledge of Giant Dragons is limited to legends.

They ascribe Maxim’s massive size to his power.

Originally according to the rules, Hudson should have come with the bridal procession.

However, the powerful always have privileges — coming riding Maxim was the biggest show of status and hence they changed the wedding procedure.

The large bridal procession is still inevitable.

Their role, though, changed from welcoming the bride to delivering the betrothal gifts and dowry.

As for welcoming the bride, Maxim was sufficient!

Riding a Giant Dragon to the wedding is far more prestigious than riding a cart.

If everything goes as expected, this unique wedding might be passed down in the Southeastern Province, or even across the entire Alpha Kingdom for countless years.

This wedding was always an extravagant display of power, and Hudson naturally let Maxim show off.

The only restriction was to maintain decorum.

After all, it’s his wedding, he can’t ruin everything for showing off.

If the Dragon’s aura was too powerful and accidentally swept away some guests, it would turn a joyous occasion into a tragedy.

Without any instruction, the people below naturally made space for Maxim.

Hudson, jumping down from the Dragon, instantly attracts countless eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and admiration.

Without sparing time to consider people’s thoughts, Hudson starts following the pre-rehearsed script with a smile.

After a few hours, an exhausted Hudson finally receives the bride.

“Let’s go, Melissa!”

Without caring for any etiquette, Hudson effortlessly lifts the bride and takes her out of the bridal chamber, leaps tens of meters onto the Dragon.

Under the surprised and envious eyes of the guests below, he signals Maxim to leave.

“Hudson, can you ask your dragon to fly a little slower?”

After glancing below, Melissa clings tightly to Hudson and says anxiously.

In fact, Maxim’s flight speed is not fast at the moment, it’s just that Melissa, experiencing such height for the first time, is not used to it.

“Don’t worry, I’ve put up a Magic Shield, you won’t fall!”

While talking, Hudson deliberately pinches Melissa’s soft cheek.

Marrying isn’t easy, if not for the privilege of the powerful simplifying most of the procedures, the wedding alone would have taken at least a month.

Not because the wedding ceremony is lengthy, but because the journey to receive the bride is long.

With so many relatives and friends along the way, time swiftly passes in socializing.
