The Duke Should Divorce Me, So Why Is He Stalling My Death? novel · Chapter 31 of 32
Chapter 31: The Vow
They married again on the hundred and twentieth day, in the Veyrath garden, in the first warm sun of the year.
The roses were not in bloom yet.
Greta had put them in anyway, in clay pots along the gravel path, bare cut branches with a few green buds that were going to open.
There were no hundred guests.
There were eleven.
The Emperor, who had come in a plain carriage and sat on a folding chair with a rug over his knees.
Emeric stood at Alaric's elbow in his shirtsleeves.
Greta stood at Lysandra's, in a blue dress, her braid pinned up, trying very hard not to cry and failing.
The priest was a plain old man who had married the Duke's parents.
He read the words quickly and without ornament, and at the end he held out a pen.
"The register," he said.
On the table beside him lay a book bound in green leather.
Lysandra looked at it.
She looked at the pen.
Then she looked at the man across from her, in a black coat with the silver at the collar, whose hand she was holding.
He was not smiling.
His eyes had the pale fixed look of a man trying not to count.
