Unlike Sui, who was smiling happily, Leon now felt very distressed.
It was not that he had never worn such a complicated dress with the help of maids, but he had never worn such a complicated dress.
The Kingdom of Eagle was founded on martial arts, and it was the most majestic and valiant of all the human countries. When people in the Kingdom of Eagle got married, they did not need to wear any special dress. It was nothing more than finding two nice clothes to wear. Of course, armor was not an option. No matter how powerful and majestic a person was, he would not wear a full military uniform at his own wedding.
However, the Kingdom of the Blue Moon was different. This country was founded on commerce, and it was very particular about beauty and etiquette. Even if it was not a major event, people liked to wear gorgeous and complicated clothes when they could afford it. When it came to a grand celebration, or a big event like a wedding or a funeral, it was even more gorgeous and complicated. Just like Leon at this moment, he had already worn four different sets of clothes inside and out, and there were twenty or thirty different kinds of ornaments. This made him feel as if he had become a puppet used to decorate the facade of a clothing store, with all kinds of things hanging on his body.
Alas! Why did I promise Kalisa to hold a wedding according to the old traditional style of Garth …
He kept a smile on his face, but he could not help but lament in his heart.
But his situation was still good. Kalisa's side was the main event.
No matter in which world, women's clothing was more complicated and gorgeous than men's, and this place was no exception. The wedding dress that Kalisa was wearing was called "Nine Layers." As the name said, there were nine layers of clothing inside and outside. In addition to these nine layers of clothing, there were also many ribbons and silk scarves. In total, there were at least thirteen or fourteen layers, and some of them could even have more than twenty layers.
These ten to twenty layers of clothing were also very particular. The materials, colors, patterns, and even the gems used for decoration couldn't be repeated. So with each additional layer, the cost would increase a lot. If one was not rich, it was impossible to wear more than twenty layers of clothing.
Not only that, wearing a thick and heavy dress was also very demanding on the body of the woman. In the past, there had been cases of brides getting married in the summer and finally falling ill from heat exhaustion. So, generally speaking, people in the Kingdom of the Blue Moon liked to get married in the winter.
Naturally, Kalisa did not lack money, and her body was healthy and strong enough. Even though she had a slender physique and looked weak, she was actually capable of performing acrobatics such as "standing on her fists" and "running on her arms" that required monstrous strength. Therefore, the thickness of the "Nine Layers" set on her body had reached an extremely shocking level — adding up to more than 30 layers!
Even though most of these thirty or so layers of clothing were quite light and thin, they could not withstand the weight of the gold threads, silver threads, and gemstone pendants used on them. For example, the third layer, 'Starry Sky', was made of many gemstones embroidered on silk to make a thin piece of clothing. Just this piece alone weighed about five or six pounds.
Kalisa's full set of "Nine Stacks" already weighed more than forty kilograms. In terms of weight, it was almost comparable to a full set of heavy armor. What was worse was that it didn't have any belts or steel rings to distribute the pressure, so the heavy weight was pressing down on his body. If it was an ordinary girl wearing such a gown to attend a wedding, she probably wouldn't even need to enter the bridal chamber after the whole ceremony. She would probably be sent directly to the morgue.
But Kalisa didn't feel that they were heavy at all. Instead, she felt that they were too light.
Today was the most important day of her life. If she didn't dress as thickly as possible, she would be letting down this good day!
"Master of the city, there's no other way!" The maidservant said with a long sigh. "Any more and it'll be repetitive, and repetitive is inauspicious."
Repetitive clothing symbolized that the husband would be half-hearted after marriage, which was a big taboo.
Kalisa didn't think that Leon would be half-hearted — even with her beauty, she had to pursue him for decades to capture his heart. How could other women possibly seduce him?
She had enough confidence in her own beauty.
And Her Majesty, the Flame Queen (Goddess of Love), had also said that Leon only loved her in his heart. To him, other women were nothing more than "female creatures," "female subordinates," "female enemies," or "female friends."
The Goddess of Love had even personally sneaked into Leon's dreams to try and seduce him, but in the face of the beautiful women she had transformed into, Leon was completely indifferent. No matter how much she tried to seduce him, he wasn't moved at all. Even when she angrily explained her identity in the end, Leon just nodded and politely addressed her as "Her Majesty, the Flame Queen."
This made the Goddess of Love, who was proud of her charm, very angry, but also very satisfied.
The Goddess of Love's most powerful weapon was her charm. As long as it was a man, it was impossible to resist her charm. Over the years, the number of men that he had failed to seduce could be counted on one hand. The few that he had succeeded were either extremely powerful gods or extremely dangerous monsters. There were even some who could not be considered as men.
In her memory, the last time she had failed to seduce a mortal was almost two or three thousand years ago.
Her charm, which had always been hopeless and disadvantageous, had been in vain. Naturally, the Goddess of Love was a little embarrassed and angry. However, Leon was so devoted to Kalisa that she was also very happy.
This feeling of embarrassment, anger, and joy made the Goddess of Love very uncomfortable. She attributed it to "the way the Void Mask controlled his believers was too powerful," so she went to ask Sui Xiong for advice, but she still learned nothing.
She thought that Sui Xiong was hiding something, but Sui Xiong knew that it was just because they had different ideas.
At this moment, the Goddess of Love had naturally come to Garth City. She did not fly above Garth City like Sui Xiong and Javier, but turned into a six-foot tall, sturdy aunty with a six-foot waist. She used her arms, which were thicker than the thighs of ordinary strong men, to carry a basket of fruits and sell them on the street.
To be honest, this aunty had good facial features and fair skin, but her overly strong body was enough to dispel anyone's fantasies. Even Sui Xiong and the others, who could see through her identity, were stunned when they saw her change. They could not even believe their eyes.
This … this was the Goddess of Love, who was famous for her beauty and seductiveness among the gods?!
You must be kidding me!
Javier had tried to persuade the Goddess of Love not to become so evil, but he had fled after a few words from her. In particular, the Goddess of Love had even winked at him with her faintly bearded face …
This winking hit Javier hard, so she, who had been wandering around the city looking for food, flew up to the sky and chatted with Sui Xiong in the winter sea breeze.
"This wedding is really grand," she said. "Has it been prepared for more than half a year?"
"Yes, it has been prepared since this spring," Sui Xiong said.
"Why do you insist on decorating it with red? It always feels strange. "
"Red and fiery, it's lively."
While they were talking, suddenly there was a sudden noise in the city below. It was the groom, Leon, who was accompanied by servants and friends, walking out. According to the tradition of Garth, he would go around the city and then go to marry the bride …
