[A night before]

They were not kidding. My skin is glowy and the bowl mixture really cleaned my face. Other than that, the face mask was used on me everyday and during night, I had to apply some sort of cream. It was all home remedies but really effective.

I was ready for tomorrow. Really, I had something planned. Oh and the green suit won.

But still, it's pretty unbelievable. I knew I would be force to marry but I didn't expected this soon.

Liam couldn't sleep so he picked up one of the magzines Tress forgot to take back.

Flipping through the pages, something caught his eyes.

"Are you a lady or a harlot? What is that?" This specific article had an image of a noble lady with blonde hair and a bucket hat, she had pure expressions. The other lady was the 'harlot' with fuller body, black hair, wearing revealing black dress and having some kind of seductive expression.

If your body is lean, you are clean! If you are under 30 with voluptuous--

*skip*

Why do most noble women prefer lean, thin body? To not be called harlots. The more pure they look, the more honor they bring-

*skip*

You still need a body men need to like however, still need some curves-

Damn if you do, damn if you don't huh? Who read this anymore.

I guess if I didn't remembered my past life, i would have believed so too.

Liam closed the book to finally sleep.

"Today's the big day!" Tress said as she pulled my blanket off.

"Today's the big day!" Gabe, Heron and other male servants came chiming in.

"Today's the big day!" May opened the window to let sunlight enter.

"Big day..." Nabi was cleaning whatever she found. It was her excited expression.

"Today's... the big day lord!" Agnes tried copying the youngsters around. She was like an older family member to me. It was just her vibes.

"Come on Lord" Vanya clapped her hands. Finally something else.

I woke up grumpy as it was 2 hours earlier than my usual timing, it was 6 IN THE MORNING.

Can I not get married? Obviously not. I was pulled off the bed and pushed into the bathroom. Oh the horror of having to be bathed by someone else. The water had rose petals. It was relaxing..... for me.

"Get the shampoo stupid face!"

"Shut up dumbfuck, its next to you!"

"Shut the fuck up in front of the Lord atleast!"

"Woah, his hairs are soft."

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Thanks to the oil" I calmly chimed in.

"Yeah, I will ask for some too."

"Woah, his face is glowing too." One of them poked my face. "Still use the facewash though"

"Can you bunch be quite please? I know you guys have habit of waking up early but I don't. Please make the experience worth it."

"Guys, i think we should listen, what if he runs away from the alter."

"And blame it on us!"

"These three couldn't wash his hair properly so he ran away!"

"Treason! Kill them!"

We all bursted out laughing.

"Yeah, thats a good idea, I will blame it all on you. Saves me the trouble."

****

I got a good massage and a relaxing bath.

"No silly, thats not how you tie a tie!"

"Shut up shithead"

"Do it like this! Yeah...?"

"Are you guys stupid or what? Its a tie, not a suicide rope." May finally entered the room like a saviour. "Gosh you idiots."

"So he will wear green pants as well?"

"Nooo, he will wear yellow pants." The 'no' was stretched out and sounded sarcastic as hell.

"Ew why?"

"..."

"......"

"Kick him out of the room."

"Kick him out of the mansion."

"Hey, that's rude-"

"Okay, okay, I am almost ready." I felt like a dress up doll.

I was wearing a white shirt that I unbuttoned a bit. A green vest over it which was darker in shade compared to the suit, the green coat with golden embroidery on the side, it was not really noticeable from far, green pants and tie which hid the fact that my buttons were unbuttoned. It looked better that way. My coat was open. Again, it looked better. I had some rings on my fingers, 4 rings, two in one, two in other, it was all gold. A golden wristwatch, a light, glden necklace that was mostly hidden. I wasn't a fan of the necklace but it was necessary or something.

"How do I look?"

"Cool!"

"Really cool"

"To be honest, now that you are more attractive, everything looks good on you." Tress and other had entered, i didn't noticed.

"Yeah, the haircut did him a favor"

"So true"

"We are proud of ourselves."

"You guys really treat me like a friend, don't you?"

"We do?"

"Oh, didn't noticed"

"Well, isn't it your fault?"

"Just shut up, i am getting married and I am hungry"

"We are leaving in an hour, aren't we?"

"Only the lord will. The carriage from main mansion will arrive."

"So, let's eat you all! Wait for me and the lady after I leave"

"Yeah! New member of the house!"

***

The carriage finally arrived. Obviously, there wasn't anyone to pick me up.

I entered the carriage to sit. The driver was a young man who wasn't much into talking. All the servants came outside to see me off. There was a lot of chitter chatter.

"Come back married!"

"Sure I will!"

The prepration to take the eldest son of Blane was adequate... it was embarrassing.

But one had to make do.

It was almost an hour long trip, I even drooled off.

"Um, Lord? Wake up, we will be there in 5" his voice was raspy.

"Thanks" I fixed myself, there wasn't much to as i slept quite elegantly. Shocking to myself.

"Atleast there is someone?"

It was my half brother and sister. The oldest children of Dina Slake. My brother took after Dina, with his strawberry blonde hair and matched my caramel eyes. But his eyes seemed brightest out of us three. His name was Vince Blane III Pleaf. My sister was named Elena Blane III Pleaf, took after dad with his navy blue hair tied in a low pigtail, but pinkish eyes that matched Dina's. They both stood with pride with Elena seeming shorter in comparison, they were atleast 5'11 and 5'8. These brats grew taller than me. How offending.

The carriage stopped as I stepped outside, I could tell the look of shock on there faces.

"Yeah, I snipped it off" I ran my fingers through my hair. "You two have grown taller since last time huh, took after dad rather than stepmom" I spoke with a smile as one of my hand rested on my waist.

"We wanted to come pick you up" Vince spoke up after some seconds of silence. He had a deep voice, even his face was masculine compared to mine. I meant longer face, taller nose and sharp jawline. Unlike my oval shaped, young looking face, button nose and I had the jawline.

"It's fine honestly, I am just thrilled to see you two."

"The cut looks good" Elena said with a soft smile. Her voice was deep to, for a girl. Her facial featurez was similar to Dina. Small nose, large eyes and oval face with flexible jawline.

"Ah Thanks!" I smiled "I really expected more of hostility to be honest" shit, I made it awkward.

They had guilty expressions. Now that I noticed, they both wore blue clothings as well. Suit without vest and a dress upto knee length.

"We....too" they spoke softly in unison.

"Oh my god, we have more in common than expected!"

"Seems you are right" we had a good chuckle about it.

"If it wasn't for mom, you would have lived with us." Vince said as El indicated us to follow her.

"We have to enter from backdoor" she spoke.

"Well she probably doesn't despise me, just wortied about the position of you two. I might not be a big fan of her but she is surely an amazing mother and a smart lady." I was bullshitting.

"She does despise-"

"-Stop" Vince was interrupted by Elena.

"Yeah Vince, don't share this much of family secrets." I joked.

"You are really weird brother."

"I never noticed!" So she hates me huh? "Well, why don't you two hate me?"

"We did, but then we grew up."

"Oh, what about the little one? Rory Blane IV pleaf?"

"She... well, she isn't a fan of us either"

"Really? How suprising. A bit bratty?

"Yeah, one can say"

We were in the backroom now. It was just the guests arriving right now.

"By the way, has the bride arrived?"

"She is in next room"

"You two will be called, I would come to call you, till then, you can rest or look around." Vince said.

"Sorry we have to leave" Elena said apologetically.

"Not like you made the tradition, nothing to apologise over."

"That's true, but still, everything is new for you here and we are leaving you alone too..."

"Well the marriage alter was booked, so if you two don't come here regularly, its new for everyone! Don't feel bad!"

"You are really kind" she laughed as Vince had a warm smile on his face.

I thought both must be really popular, even between the same sex.

The conversation went well, I was scared beforehand. I might rebuild my relationships with them. Vince was 19 if I am not wrong and El was 18 then. Rory was most likely 7 or 8.

My 'wife' is next room. Our walls aren't connected. The room was medium sized with two doors, a mirror, a bed and grooming stuff. I combed my hair and walked around nervously. I couldn't see Dad, Stepmom or Rory. They must be outside, having drinks with other nobles.

I guess I have to wait.
