Jamie promised to strengthen the defenses and then went back, but Erwell couldn’t take his eyes off the bedroom.
Meanwhile, Christina was busy. She had the maids fill the bathtub with water, added fragrance, petals, and fruits, and even applied a facial pack while Rishi was bathing. After finishing the bath, she dried her hair and combed it for a long time.
By then, Erwell seemed to have gotten out of thinking about the wolves, as he was busy doing what Christina had ordered.
By the time she finished putting on makeup, doing her hair, and dressing, it was almost 4 o’clock.
“I thought we had a lot of time……”
Rishi had never dressed up this much for a party.
“When a bride gets ready, no matter how much time there is, it’s not enough.”
Christina said seriously, peering into the jewelry box.
“Since the dress is black, a white necklace might be good. What do you think of this feeling?”
Christina took out a flashy necklace and held it up to Rishi’s neck.
“I like it.”
“No, it doesn’t go with your hairstyle. This might be better.”
Christina took out another necklace.
Rishi couldn’t tell the difference between the first and second necklaces. In the corner of the mirror, Erwell also looked confused.
“Hmm, maybe this is better than that?”
“They all look the same to me.”
“They might look similar. But the atmosphere changes so much.”
Perhaps because Christina is from an artistic family, she has a unique perspective.
“I think this necklace might be better. If you wear these earrings… no, no. The color of these earrings is a bit dead. Rather, these earrings might be better.”
It took a while just to choose the jewelry.
When she was wearing earrings, she heard the faint sound of music.
It seems the party has started.
The first party of the eve is held in the banquet hall of the manor.
“Oh dear, oh dear. We’re in big trouble. We haven’t even chosen the hairpin yet.”
“Christina. I think this hairpin is okay.”
“No, Lady Iris. This hairpin doesn’t bring out the color of your hair. Since the earrings are white, it would be best to match the hairpin with the dress. Hmm, this… no, this is better.”
Only after a hairpin with black pearls was inserted into the pinnedup hair could Rishi catch her breath.
Knockknock
The sound of knocking was heard as she was putting on her heels.
“It’s about time to go down.”
It seemed like Kev had been waiting and couldn’t wait any longer and knocked.
Christina looked up and down at Rishi, who was now in heels, and gave a satisfied smile.
Rishi was relieved.
She had been tense because Christina could say, “It’s not ready yet.”
“You look beautiful, Lady Iris.”
“That’s right. I’ve never seen a woman as beautiful as Lady Iris before. Wow, it’s really awesome……”
Whack!
Christina punched Erwell in the side.
Seeing Erwell squint at Christina, Rishi smiled quietly.
“That beautiful woman, I want to see her too.”
Kev complained from outside.
Rishi slowly walked towards the door.
Christina opened the door.
Kev, who had been anxiously waiting, widened his eyes at the sight of Rishi. He stared at her without saying anything for a while.
“Count?”
Christina called softly.
“Oh, this…”
Kev covered his mouth with one hand.
“I couldn’t imagine……”
“She’s beautiful, isn’t she?”
“I can’t speak, Christina. I really can’t.”
Christina spoke with a selfsatisfied look as if she had been complimented.
“The Countess of Green for today will be remembered for a long time. Since you’re the first woman to wear such a dress at a wedding eve.”

Britney wore a slightly modestlooking pale pink dress.
At first, she thought of wearing a flashy dress to jab at Rishi, but changed her mind after seeing the crown prince arrive.
Rather than competing with Rishi, she thought it would be better to be seen as a generous older sister who wore a modest dress for Rishi.
That’s not to say the dress was really modest. It was made of highquality fabric, and while the dress was modest, she wore flashy accessories and hairpins.
The necklace studded with dozens of diamonds was so flashy that Britney’s complexion looked dark, but no one told her that fact.
“Britney, don’t do anything unnecessary at this party. Got it?”
The Duke of Glover Whitlow warned Britney several times before entering the party.
“I told you I understand.”
Having had to bear the cost of this wedding due to a pointless act, Britney had no choice but to reply obediently.
“I have no intention of making a scene in front of the crown prince. Since you’ve explained everything to him, the crown prince will ask you to dance first. Until then, just act ignorant. Got it?”
“Understood.”
Right now, Britney was more concerned about the crown prince than Lisi.
Since the crown prince wouldn’t ask the bride, Lisi, to dance, she was sure she would be the prince’s first dance partner. Just imagining the envious stares of the nobility as she held his hand and stood on the floor made her heart flutter.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
