Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure C.816 All eyes on her

The way that the king said this, it was almost as if he was expecting something to go wrong after this wedding.

However, that confused me.

This wasn't some kind of coup where I was seizing control, this was a willing transfer of power in the first place. So it wasn't as if I would be doing anything to the king after this was all over.

I was even counting on him to help me with governing the country in the future.

His experience was an asset that would surely help me in what I would do in the future.

But it sounded like he wasn't planning on doing this.

This confused me very much, but there wasn't anything that I could say about this since I had no idea what he was thinking.

For now, there was only one thing that I should focus on.

The fourth prince had prepared everything, so there wasn't anything that I really had to do.

The only thing that I had to do was show up and be in the spotlight as the groom.

There wasn't much else that I had to do today.

The rest would be taken care of by the fourth prince and the king.

So I changed into my outfit and went to the church's main floor just like the plan accounted for.

When I arrived, it was as the king said.

The moment that I arrived, I became the center of attention.

Though the way that they looked at me was different from the way that they looked at the fourth prince and the king who had arrived before me. It was clear by the way that they looked at me that they thought of me as someone who was secondary.

Though it wasn't strange that they thought of me that way since the way that the wedding went, it seemed like I was marrying into the royal family.

So in a sense, I was a secondary character in all of this.

The most important thing was still the royal family.

That was why everyone was focused on the fourth prince and the king, as well as waiting to see Angela who still hadn't arrived yet.

As I stood there at the altar, there were many whispers that came from around me.

After all, it had been a while since I had appeared.

There were many people who were wondering if something had happened. There were even some that wondered if the bride had gotten cold feet and if the wedding would be cancelled.

The ones that thought this were all young men who didn't have anyone else with them.

These were most likely the noble young masters who hadn't gotten married yet.

It wouldn't be strange if they wanted to see this wedding fail so that they would be able to have a chance at getting with Angela. It was just that there was no chance for them since Angela was never interested in any of them in the first place.

Or at least that was what it seemed to me when we were alone.

She had confided in me that she found the gazes that the others cast in her direction disgusting since they didn't even bother hiding their overwhelming greed. There was only one reason why they looked in her direction, it was related to her family.

Or there were looks of lust that were cast in her direction that also made her disgusted.

I wasn't worried even though she hadn't arrived yet since I knew that this was done on purpose.

The fourth prince was using this opportunity to gauge the nobles that he had invited.

Even though there were his own subordinates that he planned on bringing into the new regime, he also wanted to see if he could find anyone else to work for him. He was using this as a test for those nobles that he had invited.

Those that spoke up at a time like this would be considered disqualified.

After all, if they spoke up at this time, there was no hiding the ambitions in their hearts.

In the future, they would not be loyal dogs, but rather daggers in the dark.

The fourth prince didn't have any interest in nurturing those that would stab him in the back in the future.

That was why he was testing them now.

After a while, the attention of the crowd quickly shifted as the doors to the main hall opened.

There were people that were chattering at first, but the sounds quickly disappeared.

After all, their attention had been completely taken by the person standing at the door.

It wasn't just their attention that was taken, it was also my attention.

"Beautiful."

That was the only thing that I could say when I saw the person standing there.

It wasn't as if there was a single person who would disagree with me based on the looks on the faces of the crowd. It seemed like they had all been dazed by the person who had appeared at the door.

It was Angela in her wedding dress.

It was a beautiful dress that was pure white, with layers of frills on it.

This was the kind of dress that clearly someone of high class wore and it made her the envy of all the females who were attending this wedding.

The young ones were envious of the fact that she was able to wear such a beautiful dress.

The old ones were envious that they didn't look as good in their wedding dress.

However…it was clear that she didn't enjoy this.

Though Angela had a calm look on her face as she stood there, I could tell from the look in her eyes that she was unhappy about this dress.

That was because this wasn't the dress that she picked.

This was the dress that the fourth prince had chosen for her so that she would stand out.

Since this was what this dress was for, it did its job.

She had become the center of attention.
