Chapter 80: The Reason for the Ceremony

[Margaret's Perspective]

"I said…" I wanted to interrupt Elizabeth, but I didn't succeed at all.

"Most of the flowers and various supplies for the ceremony have been selected. The menu hasn't been drawn up yet. There are only a few days left until the date we set previously. Recently, you've all been busy with other things. The progress of the ceremony has been delayed a lot. We still have to prepare quickly."

"Elizabeth," I said. "No one has time for that ceremony right now. What we need to do is defend ourselves."

"What?" Elizabeth was horrified. "You mean the ceremony isn't going to be held?"

"I didn't say that, but definitely not now," I said helplessly. "We need to postpone this."

"You told me last time that it was possible," Elizabeth said accusingly, her eyes wide. "How can you make such a decision without discussing it with me at all?"
