After everyone exited the church, the host said in an excited voice, “Ladies and Gentlemen, the bride will now throw the bouquet! Please gather in front of our newly wedded couple!”

With that, almost all the women rushed forward, anticipating the bouquet. Of course, Lilica’s friends also gathered since they wanted to get married too.

It took about a moment for everyone to gather. As the host saw that everyone was ready, she announced, “It seems like everyone’s ready! Now, on the count of three, the bride will throw the bouquet. Everyone, please get ready to catch it!”

The crowd cheered excitedly.

The host nodded at Lilica as if saying, ‘Ready whenever you’re ready.’

Lilica nodded back and the host continued, “3! 2! 1!”

Lilica threw the bouquet with all her strength, in hopes that one of her friends would be able to catch it.

The bouquet flew in the air as most of the crowd was desperate to grab it. A few seconds passed and the bouquet landed in Ventina’s hands!

Seeing this, Ven smiled as he said, “I guess I’ll talk to Mother and Father tomorrow about us.”

Ventina blushed slightly as she covered her red face with the bouquet. Everyone clapped for them and some even teased the couple.

Lilica and Kazuya stepped down from the stairs that they were on and started going around the party to greet each guest. The couple made some small talk with many people and Lilica was starting to feel confused as to who was who.

Finally, after being stopped by so many people, the couple reached where the royal family were standing. In additional to the king, queen, Kazuki and Lilienne, there was another two people standing together with them.

Just the aura of these two was enough to tell that they weren’t normal people. Lilica didn’t recognize these two so she glanced towards Kazuya for an answer.

“Grandfather, Grandmother.” Kazuya greeted the two elders politely.

Lilica followed Kazuya and greeted the elders, “Grandfather-in-law, Grandmother-in-law.”

The former king frowned at the way Lilica greeted him. When Lilica saw his displeased expression, she immediately panicked and didn’t know what she had done wrong. Was he unsatisfied with her?

Kazuki saw his father’s expression and knew what he wanted and was about to explain to Lilica when his grandmother spoke up gracefully, “Lilica, my husband wants you to call him Grandpa, not Grandfather-in-law.”

Hearing that, Lilica couldn’t really believe her ears and turned to glance at Kazuya’s grandfather for confirmation. He nodded and looked at Lilica anticipatingly.

“Grandpa.” Lilica changed the way she addressed the former king.

He then smiled satisfyingly and said, “Lilica, I heard that you’re already pregnant, right? Is it a boy or a girl?”

“Grandfather, we still don’t know that.” Kazuya smiled helplessly before he added confidently, “But I’m sure it’s going to be a girl.”

“Good, good. A girl is also nice. I’ll finally have a cute grandchild to play with, unlike these two boring grandsons of mine.” Kazuki’s grandfather smiled warmly at the thought of having fun with the little girl.

Everyone laughed at his words.

“By the way, Grandfather, about…” Kazuya asked but was interrupted midsentence.

Kazuki’s grandfather said, “I know you’re all probably worried about that matter. I’ll deal with it so you two just jo have fun. Today’s your wedding day. Go enjoy yourselves.”

“Alright, then we’ll excuse ourselves since we still have some more guests to attend to.” Kazuya said as he walked towards the other guests with Lilica.

The couple walked towards Lilica’s parents.

“Lily… I hope that you’ll live happily even if you don’t live with us anymore.” Mrs. Stell blessed her daughter emotionally, tearing up a little.

“Mom… What are you saying…? I can still visit you, right?” Lilica replied as she went in to hug her mother, feeling emotional as well.

Mr. Stell also wanted a hug but Lilica was still pregnant and her body repulsed others of the opposite sex. When he walked her down the aisle, he had casted protection magic on Lilica so she wouldn’t feel hurt by the repulsion but he himself had felt injured badly by it. He couldn’t possibly take another blow.

“Lily… My dear nephew! You’ve grown!” Lilica’s second uncle sobbed.

“Second Uncle…” Lilica smiled helplessly. She wanted to give her uncle a hug too but knew that he would be hurt by it and that her hubby would be jealous, so she refrained herself.

“I hope you’ll stay happy forever.” Her second uncle blessed her.

“Don’t worry. Making her stay happy is my life mission.” Kazuya assured the Lilica’s family as he started questioning himself, why was everyone hoping for their marriage to be happy? Why does it sound like everyone’s thinking that we won’t be happy? Was he reading too much into their words?
