After the wedding, we all went back to the castle.
That was where the wedding banquet was being held.
The official one was being held in a hall not far away from the church where the official wedding had been held, but we didn't go.
This was a decision by the fourth prince after what had happened at the official wedding today.
In short, this was his way of showing dominance.
This wasn't in the plans initially, but he had added this in after seeing how the nobles had acted.
He said that this would show them the consequences of their actions, but really...I could tell that he had been angered by them. It seed like he had been angered on our behalf by them by all the things that they said about .
Since he was angry on my behalf, it wasn't as if there was anything that I could say.
So that was how those nobles who had co to build relations and thought that they would have an easy way to the top were now left in worry. They had to worry about whether they would even have a place in this country after the changing of the crown.
The ones that were the most worried would be the two dukes who had led them in trying to oppose this.
After all, it was their fault that the rest of them had fallen into this situation.
There was no doubt that the rest of the nobles would hold grudges because of this.
That would make the position of the two dukes even worse as they had to deal with the other nobles along with the threat from above.
But that was none of our business.
As for the ones that had been invited to this banquet in the castle, they were naturally those that were related to the brides.
That ant that all who had attended the wedding were here.
But they weren't the only ones that were here as the fourth prince had also invited a few people.
That included those that he trusted to work for him.
It seed that he was using this as a chance to introduce to the people that would be helping run this country in the future. Though the way that he introduced the entire ti was almost as if he was introducing a relative that he was proud of.
It was different from how others had introduced before.
They introduced in a way that showed that they clearly had sothing to gain from .
But the fourth prince was just introducing because he wanted that person to et .
Now that I had gotten married to his sister, it seed that he was treating like a real relative. Though if I thought about it, it seed like he had been doing that all along.
Perhaps that was why I couldn't throw aside the fourth prince even after all the plotting that he had done against .
Though there was a part that did feel strange when he kept saying that I was the one to contact if anything happened to him.
It wasn't that I was feeling strange about being considered his ergency contact, it was the fact that he kept staring at Angela who was talking to others every ti he said this. It was almost as if he was trying to say indirectly that if anything happened to him because of her…they should co looking for .
I didn't say anything, but I couldn't help thinking, "She's your sister, she wouldn't do anything to you."
But the way that the fourth prince kept acting made it seem like he thought differently.
Other than these people, there were also those from Shadow Garden and other organizations that were under the king that attended this banquet.
I was familiar with the people from Shadow Garden since I had worked with them before.
In fact, they had been my bosses before.
Now the shoe was on the other foot, but I had a good relationship with them, so it wasn't as if I was going to make things harder for them.
Especially since we had cleaned up Shadow Garden.
Using the fourth prince's intelligence and the things that I could rember, we cleaned up all those other factions that wanted to take over Shadow Garden for their own benefits. The only ones left were those that rembered the mission and would work for the crown, which included Scar and the stuffed bunny boss.
They would be important assets in the future that would secure my reign.
The others that ca were other organizations similar to Shadow Garden, but were used for other things.
There was the head of the royal family's company, there was the head of the royal family's private guards, and other people of similar positions.
They would be there to help in the future.
Though it seed like most of them were more respectful to the fourth prince than to , not that I really minded.
This was all for the future and he was soone that I trusted, so I would leave it to him.
That also included Duke Beauchamp who had co since Veronica was also getting married to .
That ant that it wasn't just the royal family alone against the rest of the kingdom, it ant that one of the dukes would be on our side. Two if you included , but I really didn't have the sa power as the other dukes did.
Though if you also include the resources that ca from raiding the Yuletide Family, that was three dukes.
In short, it wasn't as if we were worried that the two dukes were on the other side.
If it ca down to it, we could take their power just like with the Yuletide Family.
That was just how dominating of a position we were in.
But halfway through the banquet, my brides and I left.
Everyone else remained at the banquet while we went off to a special chamber that had been prepared for us.
It was our wedding night after all.
