I Received The Holy Sword By Dawn Delivery (4 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 124

“You’re getting married?” Lucena was startled by the news of her own engagement, which she had never heard before.

Orien shrugged his shoulders, replying in a tone unbecoming of a boy, “How should I know? They said they’d hold the wedding, however modestly, despite the Empire’s current unrest. They also said they might miss it again if they waited.”
