Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Frederick wiped his eyes as he approached Carissa. "My lady, the bridal carriage will soon arrive. Please hurry and touch up your makeup." Now that her master and fellow guild members were here, Carissa felt a pang of reluctance as the time drew near for her to marry.

She hesitated, and asked, "Could we delay by two hours?"

"That's not possible, my lady. You must complete the ceremony within the allocated time."

Winona took her hand gently. "Come, let's get your makeup sorted out. It's a joyful day, so why are you crying and fussing? That's inappropriate. We've come to see you off, and we'll accompany you to Hell Monarch Estate. We have seats reserved there for the wedding banquet."

Carissa blinked, her eyes misty. "So, Prince Rafael knows all of you are coming?"

"He does, but he didn't know that you were unaware."

Well, if that was the case, Rafael hadn't withheld the information from her.

With her mood steadied, Carissa stood and bowed in thanks to the heads of the various guilds and their apprentices who had come to offer their blessings to her.

"There's no need for thanks. Hurry up and get ready." Adrian waved dismissively.
