After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1570

Chapter 1570: After Party, Start of Plans

After the ceremony, the afterparty began. The ceremony area was transformed into a massive banquet hall, with a large centerpiece at the center.

The centerpiece was an ice sculpture of the couple, lit up by a lighting magic tool and its temperature maintained by a cold-emitting tool—both quite expensive.

There was a stage up front for performances and the like, with round tables spread generously in front of it.

The entire menu, not just appetizers, was served, and people were allowed to mingle around, with the new couple doing the same.

Rather, they would go around the venue and greet guests, and they’d introduce themselves if they were not too familiar to increase their network.

Unlike in many other cities and territories, the brides of Bleulle could mingle after the wedding proper and did not have to wait in the bridal chambers for hours.

This was another thing that Zaol popularized, in fact, though some families (like Gaia’s maternal family) had practiced it in a few weddings even before that, which was where the man got the idea.

They were allowed to join the festivities after the stressful and tiring ceremony. And, indeed, a city party would not disappoint.

The reactions with the couple were mostly congratulatory, of course, as was basic etiquette. Though there were some rivals of either family who had members unable to keep their mouths shut.

For example, there were some younger generations of the Vesto Family, who brought in another woman from a lower noble family. While the couple was at another table, within earshot, considering their levels, they started talking to each other about Eveco’s past relationships.

"If you knew Eveco could marry a lower-level noble, would you have gracefully accepted the breakup?"

"Hmn...I might have tried a bit harder...Eveco was my first man, after all," she said, appearing cool, but her expression seemed like she was longing for something.

The woman was a very beautiful woman with gentle features and light-colored hair. She looked weak and meek, as if a gentle breeze could blow her away.

It was just that the way her cleavage showed, and the way she subtly postured her body so it could get admired, was quite telling of what really went on in her head.

Eveco’s eyes couldn’t help but linger on her as they headed to the table, while Liaroa’s hands, which were on his arms, tightened around it. She subtly rubbed her breasts on his arms. "Ah~ I’m looking forward to serving you tonight..." she whispered, and Eveco’s eyebrows rose.

He nodded, and the interaction with the table was indeed shorter than it could’ve been.

Anyway, the party was very lively. There were plenty of performances on stage, plenty of food and wine, supposed to last until late at night, though of course, the couple would excuse themselves a bit earlier for time alone.

Interestingly, fairly early after the party, the different patriarchs and their powerful guests headed elsewhere, including the Lord.

Any man who was invited here had quite a bit of bragging rights.

For instance, there were the heirs of the two families, Ewan of the Sephon family and Rolian of the Vesto Family.

The rest were allowed to enjoy the events, though some were just envious of those inside.

...

"What do you think that’s about?" Kahonn asked, taking a sip of his juice, and his eyes followed the Lord and his Entourage leaving the room.

As long as they didn’t offend the Lord, it was good to maintain a good relationship with them. They didn’t linger for too long, however, because being too friendly could do just that. This was something the three were thankful for. Whatever was happening now, they hoped to minimize overall interactions.
