Chapitre 402: Behind the Shroud

~ DAVID ~

It was a tradition of the Royal Wedding that on the morning of the ceremony, when both parties were prepared, they would be given time alone to speak an hour or two before the vows.

Of course, it was also tradition that the royal couple not see each other in their finery before the ceremony.
