never should have come here

The Empress certainly didn’t want to linger in her ex-husband’s presence any longer than she had to. Speaking of having to, she wasn’t even required to be here now. Her sense of propriety was too strong to leave the father of the bride in the dark about their daughter’s nuptuals. Of course, he didn’t even deserve that and he certain;y wouldn’t be given anything more than an invitation to be a guest. Unless Kiyohime had a change of heart but even then Venom wasn’t so sure that she wouldn’t step in to deny that request.

Surprisingly, Hattori went on to accept the invitation. "Good.” Venom hid her surprise well, but he had always been difficult to predict. As was evident by the fact that they were no longer together. "The exact date is yet to be decided, but tentatively we’re looking at the spring season once winter’s hardships have been dealt with.” She answered vaguely, but there was no set date. These things took time to come together, and there was no need to rush her late bloomer.
