After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1569

Chapter 1569: Sephon-Vesto Wedding

A few days later, the Sephon and Roach wedding finally began as scheduled. It was, as customary, held in the location of the Groom’s choosing, which was often their mansion.

The Sephon Mansion was opened to everyone invited—which included all the main nobles of Bleulle as well as some guests.

The ceremony would be held in the large garden hall at the back yard, but the guests were free to go around the public areas, to socialize, and to eat.

The nobles’ houses of a city were not small, and this part of the welcoming event was a way to show off their assets. Whether it was the house itself, the displays, and so on, they were all designed to achieve this.

It was just that the Sephon family members were the type to buy something just because it was expensive.

They had been fooled quite a lot, though in this case, even if fakes were detected, no one would mention it. The Sephon family was, after all, for better or for worse, one of Bleulle’s top families. Even if someone mentioned it in goodwill, they might get blamed for the ’humiliation’, so no one bothered.

Some people would whisper here and there, of course. Higher nobles would even snicker amongst themselves. Even those with superior social standing generally wouldn’t point it out. One, because many of them were the ones who manipulated things to earn a bit of extra money from rivals, and second, it was a way to keep the family in check.

Anyway, it was mostly the men of the family showing off their items to their important guests, while the women handled other women.

They would mostly go to the main garden and admire its beauty. The gardens were filled with various types of plants. The number, rarity, and exotism were a point of bragging—a status symbol just as the ’rare’ items in the hallways were.

This was the women’s scope, and the garden tours would also be accompanied by a lot of gossip.

That said, to control the lush atmosphere of the event, only one servant/guard was allowed to accompany each noble.

Veronica and her brother Vangh brought one guard each, though they were actually Alterran. They used this chance to study the place closely because they had no chance prior.

In fact, Veronica was supposed to follow Liaroa’s procession from her home today, but she somehow managed to convince the bride by telling her that she (Veronica) would go there to make sure there were no accidents.

Veronica even had the names of the women Liaroa didn’t like, apparently so she could ’watch out’ for them.

They were all noble women, too, those who didn’t quite get along well with Lia and her circle.

Of course, whether anyone would actually bother to do anything to her was likely just Liaroa’s paranoia, which Veronica made sure to take advantage of.

Anyway, the Roach family made sure they had a large procession, so Veronica’s absence really wouldn’t matter. She was essentially just a relative from a Town, which was considered low status compared to city nobles.

Anyway, some of those women Lia hated were actually chatting with Octavia at the side. Veronica noted the blondes there, a woman and a young lad, looking around.

It was probably Lady Zinnia and her son, Marcus. The Golds simply had a very specific shade of blonde that characterized them.

"The rumor of neglect must be true. How could they act like bumpkins from villages?"
