Chapter 149: Emmah’s luck starts running out.

At the grand estate of prime minister Windrider, a place whose every corner whispered privilege and power laughter and happiness was the theme of the day. Inside the grand hall of the estate, two noble families were celebrating a union of their children.

The union was not one both families ever planned on but their children being caught in an embrace that was blasted all over the empire left them with no choice. A wedding had been arranged rather quickly and both families were hoping to quell the scandal by legitimizing the relationship between their children.

The first part of the wedding which was the taking of vows was over, it had been done in church. Presently, a reception was taking place at the home of the prime minister.

This fact alone caused a lot of frowns because ideally, the reception should have taken place at the home of the groom, on the estate of the Durin family. The prime minister however was a powerful man and he had overpowered the Durin family, holding the reception at his home.

Chandeliers sparkled, and the scent of roses mingled with the aroma of a lavish feast. The king was expected to arrive later which was a great reason behind all the extravagance and lavishness. The Windrider’s were walking around with proud smiles on their faces. The bride was resplendent in a silk wedding dress that had been designed by Emmah and sewn overnight.

The groom was dashing in his tailored suit, the couple was the picture of aristocratic perfection as they took their first dance. Despite the fact that neither bride nor groom liked the other, they had happy smiles on their faces.

Marriage had found him six years before his preferred timing and for that, he blamed Florence. All he wanted to was have fun with a woman that looked like the former consort. He had always desired Rina but never got a chance to touch her because she was the king’s woman.
