1238: Late! Late! Late Already!

Late! Late! Late Already!

Thinking about the many rituals he did, Landon was honestly glad that it was finally over.

Of course, he had also been eating certain foods that were technically accepted... But who asked the ancestors not to be specific?

The rules said no eating bread for the time being. But whose fault was it that pizza was only invented in this generation?

Hey. They couldn't technically punish him, right?

Landon followed the eating rule with one eye open and one eye closed.

He already knew that this world had its own God or Goddess.

So if anyone was going to punish him, it should be that higher being... And who's to say that he hadn't been punished already?

Do you know how often his dog system abuses him?

Well, that's how he spent this entire year planning and abiding by the ancient traditions.

And today, all of it would come to an end.

Like so, he took his bath, dressed himself up and headed downstairs to see how things were going.

After all, this was just the early hours of the day.

And the actual wedding itself was in the evening.

So he had time to flex!

.

~Thup. Thup. Thup. Thup~

Landon came down the stairs and watched the busy maids, butlers and professional crew rush around the place like crazy.

Some were pushing laundry baskets that seemed to be packed with all sorts of curtains, sheets and whatnot, while others were busy transporting all kinds of decorations around.

You know, the main event won't be held in this building, but in another building that has the Great Hall in it.

Nonetheless, the entrance hall on the first floor of this building still had to be decorated for the scene when the Cameras will show a veiled Lucy's walking in with her most trusted maids into the groom's residence.

And so for that reason, they had to decorate this place beautifully.

After all, the camera crew would capture it all.

So wouldn't it be shameful if the place was left like that? Moreover, the professional team was also advertising their skills too.

You know, for the past few years, traditional marriages were now seen as something that couples felt the need to do.

It lined up perfectly with their belief of the ancestors always watching them. And couldn't do without. 

Landon looked at everyone and chuckled.

They were so busy that they didn't even notice him in the room.

It wasn't until someone nearly bumped into him, did they notice him.

"Ah! Your majesty, you're up!... Good morning, your majesty!" They replied with broad smiles on their faces.

"Morning to you all as well... And... Thank you for your hard work!"

Instantly, everyone's face turned red from the embarrassment: "No problem, your majesty. We are just doing our job," They said proudly, almost beating their chests out in the process.

Oh my God! His majesty complimented them! His Majesty praised them!

(^0^)

With that, Landon exited the building.

Well, he wanted to find the main boss in charge of operations here.

He had to go through the list to see what other last-minute touches still needed doing.

He planned to do this first before chilling with the guys for the rest of the day.

For them, they would spar, tease and mock him too. 

And several hours before the wedding, they'll all get dressed up, preparing for the big day.

Well, that was all there was to it.

With that, he was off!

Of course, he wasn't the only one feeling jittery about it all.

---Villa 23, District H---

~Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang-

"Rise and shine, sleepyhead!"

~Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang-

The sounds of pots banging around the room grew louder and louder, waking the beautiful lady who was pouting her lips in dismay.

"5 more minutes..." She said while scratching her scattered hair pitifully. 

And the pink sleep mask on her face only made her look even more adorable.

Too bad her friends didn't seem to think so.

~Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang-

She curled deeper into her sheets, wishing to submerge herself into her dream once again.

Her friends suddenly stopped banging the pots, looked at each other briefly before suddenly smiling mysteriously.

Heheh... Don't blame them for being rude 

~Bam!

They jumped onto the massive bed, making it shake vigorously. 

But yet, the girl on the bed was still hell-bent on sleeping, mumbling words that they couldn't make out.

"Blue-blah-hmmm~"

"Lu! It's already 10 A.M! So if you don't wake up now, you'll miss the bridal preparations!... That is, you don't want your darling hubby to see you so unkempt, right?"

Eh?0

Whoosh!

Like a dead person coming back to life, she was finally up!

"10 A.M? 10 A.M? ... Why didn't any of you wake me up sooner? The Spa people are supposed to be here now, so why didn't you guys wake me up earlier?"

Penelope, Ava, Ruby, Yara, Lucia and Grace felt dumbfounded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Hello?

You think they hadn't tried before? This was their 5th time trying to wake her up! 

And what was puzzling was that they slept relatively early last night because of what they had planned out for today.

Yes! They, as well as she, would be getting their nails, hair, and body cleaned adequately.

Massages were also a part of it too.

But that was all. Do you know how much time they would spend doing their hair alone?

Though all this wasn't planned, Penelope in particular, was still enjoying this scene pretty well.

Hmhm. This was Lucy's payback for all she went through during her own wedding with Benjamin.

As expected, the heavens were indeed fair.

With that, she calmly sat down and crossed her legs as if enjoying the show.

.

Woosh!

As if in a marathon, Lucy scrambled off her bed, almost falling off it, before dashing to and fro the bathroom like crazy.

Everyone had cleaned and dressed up except her.

Woooo~~~

She had bad friends! She really had bad friends!

Those were her thoughts while dashing around the room, bathroom and closet as if it were the end of the world.

Late! Late! She was late!
