Chapter 118: 118
Ch . 118 Somehow It Was Ominous (1)

The wedding was only fifteen days away, and Elena found herself swamped in the preparations . Presently, she was in a meeting to decide the kind of flowers to decorate Bellouet Square .

“You can use these white flowers as your main color, then use these red flowers to draw the attention towards certain points of interest . It would look very beautiful, My Lady”

“…Right . ”

“Or perhaps this yellow one–”

Her head throbbed from staring at the dozens upon dozens of flowers before her . This flower was pretty, and that flower was pretty as well . In fact, to Elena, who had little interest in decorating, they all looked pretty . She found it difficult to decide the prettiest among all of them .

“…Huuu . ”

Elena gave a low sigh, and the florist who had been committed to explaining everything to her misunderstood the meaning .

“Is there anything you like? Then we can start again from the beginning–”

“No!”

Elena strongly interrupted her . The sheer variety of flowers already made it difficult to choose, and she didn’t want to think about anymore .

“It’s hard to decide on the flower combinations because they all look beautiful . ”

“Ah, is that so?”

Elena wished she could just pick anything, but the wedding ceremony would be host to the envoys of many other kingdoms and even the public . The prestige of the Ruford Empire weighed heavily in her mind .

‘What should I choose?’

Determined, Elena finally touched three of her favorite flower combinations . The first was a base of white flowers with a red rose in the center, and the second was a bouquet of a variety of reds and pinks . The third choice was purple lavender .

“For now, I like these three…”

“Oh, those are excellent choices . There are many other combinations, but all the flowers you choose are popular . Which one do you like the most?”

This was the hardest question for Elena . Choosing three was easy enough, but one?

It was then that Mirabelle entered the room, approaching Elena’s side .

“Oh, are you looking at flowers for the wedding venue? I’m here to ask you about your dress . ”

Elena despaired at having more choices to make . There was not a single detail about the wedding that did not pass her hands first . However, Elena kept her head up as she spoke to Mirabelle .

“I like all three of these, but which one do you think is the best?”

“Well, they’re all pretty . ”

“I think so too, but I have to choose only one from here . ”

Even if she postponed the decision until tomorrow, she would still have to come up with an answer . It was better to just do it now .

“Hm–“

Mirabelle tapped her chin, and all eyes went on her . She smiled awkwardly at the attention, then spoke carefully to Elena .

“You picked these three, didn’t you?”

“Yes . ”

“Then what was your last choice?”

“The purple lavender . ”

Elena pointed her finger to the flowers and Mirabelle nodded .

“Then take these . ”

“They are the most beautiful to you?”

“No . But you tend to save your favorite thing until the end . You probably like these purple flowers the most . ”

Elena took second stock at her decision . White or red flowers were classical choices for a wedding, but the last choice was her favorite . Elena turned to Mirabelle with a questioning expression .

“…How did you know?”

“Do you think I’ve known you for only a day? I know you!”

Elena couldn’t help but return Mirabelle’s smile . But purple flowers were very unusual . It was not the color used in most wedding venues .

“Wouldn’t it be too ostentatious? There will be many people in attendance, and I could choose something a little more acceptable…”

“It’s your wedding, not anyone else’s . You choose what you like best . ”

When Elena still looked hesitant, Mirabelle continued more determinedly .

“Sister, this might be the only wedding in your life . Decorate it the way you want it and don’t regret it later . ”

Mirabelle’s words touched her heart .

‘Only once in my life…my wedding . ’

Life was short, and it was something she had forgotten because she was burdened by so many other things . No matter that she was in a contract marriage, it was still a marriage that Elena might experience only once in her life . The florist watched them quietly before deciding to add in her own words .

“She’s right, and besides, the lavender flowers will look elegant and luxurious when used properly . It’s not a bad choice . ”

Elena finally made up her mind from their advice . She nodded, pointing to the purple lavender flowers she had picked last .

“Then decorate the venue with this . ”

“Yes, you made a good choice . Then let’s look at the sample design here and…”

The process wasn’t over, but strangely, Elena felt a lot lighter .

After choosing the flowers and decorations for the square, Elena and Mirabelle were finally left alone in the room . Mirabelle quickly spoke up as if her turn had finally come .

“We have estimates from various tailor shops, but Madame Mitchell from Anco’s is the most ideal . ”

“Is that so?”

“Yes . You’ll have to visit them soon for them to measure you and show you the samples . If you don’t like them, I have another shop picked as a candidate . ”

“If you think they’re good, you don’t have to look around at other places . ”

“Just in case . ”

Mirabelle was more thorough in wedding planning than Elena had thought . Elena always saw her sister as a young girl, but now she had mixed feelings because Mirabelle looked like a young woman now . Elena hoped that even if Mirabelle would grow up to be a respectable lady, she would remain her beloved sister . She gazed at her with a bittersweet expression, then spoke in a soft voice .

“Thank you, Mirabelle . ”

It was a long time ago when Elena lost her family and spent the nights crying her heart out . It felt like a dream to see Mirabelle mature now, and have a wedding celebration with her family . She had longed for those kinds of happy days with all her soul .

Mirabelle smiled shyly .

“It’s my sister’s wedding, and it’s only natural that I help . Thank you for everything . When you are free, will you come with me to the dress shop?”

“Yes . I wish I could have worn a wedding dress designed by you and not someone else…”

Elena sounded regretful, and Mirabelle couldn’t help but jump in .

“Ah, we can’t change your wedding dress, and I’m too young to design a whole new one from the start . ”

Even so, Mirabelle’s heart filled with disappointment as well . From the tea party in the south to the imperial ball, Elena was always in the center of attention because of the dresses that had gone through Mirabelle’s hands . Seeing Elena in those beautiful scenes made Mirabelle realize that designing new clothes was fun and rewarding to her . However, her skills were still far short of designing a wedding dress .

‘…I’m afraid it can’t be helped . ’

Worried that Elena would notice her disappointment, Mirabelle brightened her expression and shifted the topic .

“Your dress is important, but what about the Crown Prince’s suit?”

“Haaah, it really is mountain after mountain . ”

Elena pressed her hand on her temples as if she had no answer . She didn’t think wedding planning was this difficult . There were so many choices ahead .
