Wedding (2)

Needless to say, getting out of the car didn't mean going straight into the wedding hall.

Lucilla had to go to the bridal suite and finish her final preparations.

Compared to a suit, a wedding dress required all sorts of preparations, with plenty of details to attend to.

Besides, Lucilla had family.

Spending time with one's family before the wedding was the same in my previous life as it was in this world.

The reason I'd left Lucilla's family intact, despite trying to keep the imperial household from growing, was simple.

Lucilla's family weren't particularly ambitious. They were the sort of people who were content with what they had.

If they'd thrown their weight around just because they were relatives of the imperial family, I would've had no choice but to purge them myself. But they weren't the sort to cause trouble like that.

Then again, perhaps it was because they were that kind of family that someone like Lucilla had been born into it.

Well, they were good people in many ways...
