By the time Lucy had worn her dress, Madeline had arrived in the room so that she could help Lucy. The ribbons had come undone, and the front of her hair had been brushed back, her hair was tied up with black pins. Three roses that were pale lavender in colour had been pinned to the side before the veil was fixed to flow behind Lucy's back.

A little amount of makeup was put on her with dusted rose on her cheeks and her lips tinted to light pink.

"Who is this beautiful bride that I see now?" came Lady Monique's voice, who had entered the room on seeing Lucy getting ready.

Lady Monique wore a grey and white straight dress that had a little ruffle at the front near her chest, while Madeline wore a pale pink dress, and her blonde hair had been let down.

"You look beautiful, Lucy," praised Monique and Madeline smiled in agreement.

"Really?" the joy in Lucy's eyes was evident as she beamed in happiness.

"Of course, silly girl. I brought you something. Here," saying this, Monique presented a hair comb f that was made with pearls and ivory gold with two flowers and twigs that emerged from it on the sides.

"This…" Lucy was stunned seeing this. It was beautiful.

"It once belonged to my mother which was passed down to me. You are just like my daughter and I want you to have it," said Monique, having Lucy turn around and pinning it in the veil.

"Thank you," whispered Lucy, feeling grateful for being loved by everyone now.

Once she was ready along with the others, they got into the carriage and rode towards Baudeux town and stopped in front of the church.

As she stepped down from the carriage, Lucy could hear the music that came from inside the church. The town looked quiet as it had been abandoned for quite some years now, and it was only a while ago that the High House members had started to reconstruct by working with Calhoun on it so that the other villagers and townsfolk could come to live here.

With no people to peek and hover around as they belonged to the royal family, it gave the privacy Lucy had been looking forward to.

"Is the music coming from the church?" asked Lady Monique and Calhoun, who hadn't entered the church grinned, one side of his lips pulling up.

"I have only one sister. You didn't think it was going to be a dull wedding, did you?" he asked, sending a wink at his wife, who shook her head.

Lucy had mentioned having a simple wedding with not many people as their guests, but she hadn't specified the other details, and Calhoun had used the opportunity to make the occasion more special.

Theodore had already stepped inside the church, and another carriage appeared to halt near the church. Out stepped the two members of the High House, Helena, who was the head of the High House and her right-hand man Dimitri. They were in their High House uniforms and walked to where the other stood, bowing their head in greeting.

Ethan Moryett's carriage had appeared earlier, and seeing Lucy in the wedding gown, he smiled at her.

Within the next second, fire blazed next to the High House members, and Vladimir made his appearance with his faithful servant Odin.

"Good that we are on time," said Vladimir, and when his eyes met a pair of eyes that looked annoyed, he couldn't help but grin. "I didn't know we were having others outside the family to attend the wedding."

Helena quietly glared at the Devil, and she turned her head to speak to the bride-to-be.

"Looks like everyone is here," said Calhoun, looking around the people. "We'll be going inside," he said to Lucy, and she nodded her head. Calhoun was the best man, and Madeline was her bridesmaid.

Vladimir and Odin went inside the church to be followed by Ethan, Calhoun, Madeline and Monique.

Seeing her aunt step inside the church, Lucy, who stood behind, wondered if her aunt would be coming out again as she waited at the side, making her dress proper so that they didn't look wrinkled. After a few seconds passed and the music continued to play inside, and she heard a crackling fire behind her. Turning around, she noticed it was Vladimir who had appeared outside the church.

Did the church repel him? Asked Lucy in her mind. But then this church was an old one, and Gabriel had put a spell so that the vampires and demons could enter without a problem.

Knowing this was the Devil, Lucy was slightly wary of him, but at the same time, he was Calhoun's grandfather.

Vladimir stared at Lucy, his eyes looking at the young vampiress who stared back at him. Since he had found out about this wedding gown that Constance had got made for herself, it was something that had weighed in his mind.

"Is Aunt Monique busy inside?" asked Lucy.

The Devil looked at Lucy with his dark eyes, "No. They are waiting for us to enter the church. I noticed we were short of bridesmaids," he replied, and Lucy turned a little surprised by this.

Vladimir said, "I didn't get to walk my daughter down the aisle because of some of my mistakes. But I still have the opportunity to walk her down the aisle, believing it is how it would feel to give away my daughter in marriage to someone she loved as I accompany you," someone other than that bastard Laurence, he thought to himself.

Lucy smiled at Vladimir's words, and she said, "She would have loved that. To walk with you."

She knew it took a great deal to ignore some of the things and make the best out of the present situations in front of one. She might have been Calhoun's sister, but at the same time, she was also the man's daughter who had broken Lady Constance's heart.

Vladimir then brought his empty hand forward, and suddenly a bouquet appeared in front of Lucy, "I told you I would be bringing you flowers, didn't I. I had Odin pick up the best ones," he said to her. Handing the white and pink flowers in her hand.

"Thank you for bringing them," Lucy smiled while looking at the flowers.

Standing in front of her, he gave his arm, and Lucy put her hand around his arm. The wedding music started to play from inside, and Vladimir said, "It is time."
