Chapter 84: Drastic turn of events

He was certain that if he and Cedella could not agree on anything after being married as long as they didn't consummate the marriage they could later get it annulled.

But now he wished he had asked more questions before just willingly going along with the swapping of grooms. 

Gritzl had trouble keeping a neutral expression the longer he observed his bride. 

The bride had a huge juice stain all over the front of her no longer pristine white dress. 

Her hair was in disarray despite the best efforts of her maid.

As she had undone all the pins in her hair to give her the uptwist coiffed look that was now popular at dragon court.

Despite the mess you could see that given time she would grow into a great and regal beauty.

Just like her mother who stood worriedly to one side, too afraid to interfere lest her husband be mad at home with her later.

The father was dragging his stubborn daughter all the way up to the altar.
