Second Life's Revenge

"Did you hear about the news?"

"Ah, You mean regarding the Duke's marriage? I've heard of it."

"Even if they were only engaged for three months. They're getting married already."

"But don't you think it's too soon? Later on, we might hear the news of them getting a divorce."

"You don't even know what they both have gone through. If I were you I would keep your mouths shut," interrupted Serena who walked over to their table after hearing their conversation. 

It was only three months but then they both decided to get married. At first, Laura didn't want to rush the wedding but Erwin didn't seem the type to be patient. Not only that but ever since they got engaged he clung to her every single place where she goes.

Blaine had a hard time convincing him to do his job since he was been delaying it for a while. It was a good thing Laura convinced him to leave and finish his work. Either way, they will see each other at night as she started to reside in the silver moon estate. 

The Alvarado family clearly didn't have anyone to inherit the family and so it left Count Harrison no choice but let Lester inherit the title. His father Percival Barnett didn't mind it as he had another son to take over the Barnett family. 

The two ladies who were talking about Laura apologized to Serena as they both knew that she was a good friend of Laura. Not only was it because she is a friend of Laura but it is also because she is known to the public as the official fiancee of Prince Winston.

It's a wonderful feeling that everything was solved. It's just that the nobles were still creating baseless rumors about them. 

As for the Crowned Prince, Prince Elijah still continued to own the title of the "Crowned Prince". It was said that soon he will become the new Emperor as the current Emperor was getting old. Not all were satisfied with Prince Elijah but they didn't have a choice since the current Emperor approves Prince Elijah to be the new Emperor.

"Next time please do not speak bad things about their engagement. You do not have any idea how in love the both of them are," Serena sighed out loud but was pulled out of nowhere by Laura. She stepped in making the other two ladies horrified but they didn't need to as Laura thinks it was not intentional at all. 

"It's alright. Though I do suggest not to do that next time. I just realized this but is that a dress from our shop?" Laura asked as she looked down at the baby pink dress of the lady. The lady gasped and nodded in excitement. "Yes, it is. The truth is I'm a big fan of your shop. Every time Lady Serena would bring a new design out I would buy it." Serena and Laura looked at each other then giggled.

"Thank you for buying our dresses. It means a lot to us," thanked Laura while the lady's eyes were shining as she was thrilled to be thanked by the owner of the shop she loves. "If you don't mind us. We still have some people meet."

"No, please. We must have taken your time."

"Don't worry about it," said Laura who then walked away with Serena.

The fact that they were fans of their shop, Serena couldn't bring herself to be mad at those two. Though at least the two of them knew not to do the same mistake again. "You don't need to keep putting on that face," Laura laughed at Serena.

"It's just rude," Serena grumbled. 

"Aren't you supposed to act more composed as you are His Highness' fiancee and soon to be wife?" Laura raised a brow.

"I can't act composed and cool if I want to but hearing others talk bad about you, I can't hold it."

"Who's making my lady angry?" interrupted Prince Winston, who gave Serena a hug from behind. While Laura was about to bow and greet she was stopped by him. "Didn't I say to drop the formalities? You never learn do you?" He asked. 

"It might take more than thousands of years just to convince me," Laura joked while Prince Winston laughed along. "Well, I guess I should stop bowing since it's weird bowing to my good friend's fiance."

The three of them didn't know how much attention they were gathering around them as they continued to talk. One more person they were waiting for was Erwin, trapped in his work because he didn't finish them earlier. It's his fault for not doing it anyway.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting," Erwin said from afar as he walked his way towards them. The first thing he did was to give Laura a kiss on her cheek. Which she cannot get used to mostly since they were in public. "You…don't need to do that out here," She said as she covered her face, flustered.

"I'm just showing my love, can't I?" Asked Erwin while the other couple wanted to burst and still couldn't get used to his sweet words. Let's just say Erwin changed a lot after being engaged. He became much more mature, but once he's with Laura, it changes very drastically.

"So? Have you both thought of the exact date of your wedding?" Serena asked as she looked at Laura. 

"We did plan, but it's a secret. Don't worry, I'll be sending invitations soon, " Laura said, turning her head as she looked at Erwin who nodded his head in agreement. "That's right, so for now, just wait," Said Erwin.

"Let's go. We wouldn't want to attract more people around this area," Prince Winston said as he offered Serena an arm. She gladly accepted it and walked ahead of the other couple.
