After a while, Merice came out of the changing room.

With the help of these fake breasts, Merice perfectly filled the gap in her chest.

Paired with the lotus wedding dress, Merice appeared more mature and charming.

Her skin was smooth and seemingly moist, as if water could be squeezed out of it. Her full breasts were about to burst, looking as if they were going to explode.

"Are you satisfied?" Ling Xi looked at Merice and said with a smile, her eyes full of anticipation.

Merice didn't seem pleased at all. Instead, she looked disgusted.

"It'll do." Merice said coldly. She detested Ling Xi to the extreme.

"Oh my, Lady Merice, I never meant to insult you. This was specially tailored for you!" Ling Xi explained immediately, her eyes filled with a hint of innocence.

Specially tailored?

Merice seemed to have some doubts. Ling Xi had never been in contact with her, so how could she know her size?

"You spied on me..." Merice said coldly.

Talking too much would raise suspicions, so she naturally needed an excuse. As Merice's cousin, how could she not know her cousin's measurements?

"Hahaha... Lady Merice, you're so cute. How could I do such a despicable thing? I am a Warlock Arts mage, I can deduce your size, it's nothing special, right?" Ling Xi always had a gentle smile on her face, making people feel friendly yet hypocritical.

Fox, cunning fox...

Merice cursed Ling Xi in her heart, but didn't say anything more. She didn't want to be trapped by Ling Xi again.

"Please sit down. I will make you the most beautiful bride in the world, so please cooperate, Lady Merice." Ling Xi took out a cosmetics box from her storage space and opened it, taking out a pile of makeup products and started to dress up Merice.

Merice really wanted to slap Ling Xi, but... Ling Xi was Rena's teacher. If she dared to lay a hand on Ling Xi, Victor would never let her go.

"I will cooperate with you." Merice suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth. She really wished she could tear Ling Xi apart and feed her to the dogs.

She walked forward and stood by the dressing table.

"Hehe... that's good." Ling Xi smiled as she looked at Merice.

Merice took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and let Ling Xi handle her.

Ling Xi was very skilled in makeup techniques, thanks to her Aunt Meng Zhang. Meng Zhang used Iris' free time to teach her some women's knowledge, including makeup.

First, Ling Xi styled Merice's hair, tying it into an exquisite updo, adorned with a hairpin embedded with gemstones. The tassel on the hairpin gently swayed as she styled Merice's hair, making a pleasant jingling sound.

Ling Xi then applied a light and elegant makeup on Merice, adding a few drops of pearl powder on her left cheek, making her already fair face look even more charming.

Following that, Ling Xi shaped Merice's brows and applied lipstick...

Merice had long and thick eyelashes, black as coal, resembling two rows of small fans, very beautiful.

Looking at Merice in front of her, Ling Xi couldn't help but exclaim: What a stunning beauty!

"Lady Merice, please open your eyes and look at yourself in the mirror." Ling Xi said.

Upon hearing Ling Xi's words, Merice slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw herself clearly in the mirror, Merice was astonished.

Was that really her in the mirror, a beautiful and graceful woman in her prime?

However, Merice didn't show it on her face. She just said lightly, "It'll do..."

After a while, she realized that this updo looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere...

Wedding photos, her mother's wedding photo. It was the hairstyle her grandmother did for her mother when her parents got married.

All the female Your Majesties of the bloodline had this kind of updo. It was specifically for noble women who married into the royal family, symbolizing nobility and the dignity of the royal family.

Until now, only Merice's mother had received such treatment. In order to ensure pure bloodlines, the vampire royal family gave birth to offspring through self-conception or the "first embrace" method. Unless they could give birth to twins, among the twenty-nine generations of vampire women in Your Majesty, only Yeli gave birth to twins.

"Who are you? Why do you wear this hairstyle?" Merice stood up, grabbed Lingxi's right wrist, and questioned.

"A friend taught me. She said that all royal girls need to wear this hairstyle for important marriages. It is the basic respect for the royal family," Lingxi always maintained a faint smile.

"What is the name of your friend?" Merice continued to ask, sounding somewhat urgent this time.

"She's dead..." Lingxi said lightly, her face calm, "I saw her die in front of me with my own eyes. At that time, I had the ability to save her, but I didn't. Mrs. Merice, can you guess why?"

"You bastard!" Merice waved her hand angrily.

Unexpectedly, Iris was well-prepared and blocked Merice's attack with her hand. "Guess," she said.

Merice's chest heaved heavily with anger, which meant that her sister Iris had died in front of this girl named Lingxi.

"You..." Merice stared angrily at Lingxi, "you actually killed her! I will never let you go!"

"Mrs. Merice, did I say that I killed her? It is precisely because we were friends that I respected her choice," Lingxi looked at Merice's expression, feeling extremely pleased in her heart, but still maintained a gentle and elegant appearance on her face.

"Choice? What choice? What did my sister choose?" Merice was puzzled, looking at Lingxi, not understanding what she meant by "choice".

"So she's your sister, no wonder you care so much about her. Her choice was to embrace death. Because we were friends, I didn't want her to suffer, so I didn't stop her and let her leave..." Lingxi's tone sounded helpless, as if she regretted it.

"Death? Embrace death?" Merice's pupils shrank instantly, her eye sockets turned red, and tears streamed down her face. "Iris, why did you choose to die? I haven't had a chance to apologize to you..."

Merice suddenly fell to the ground and cried bitterly, pounding the ground with her fists in sorrow.

Lingxi stood by silently, watching Merice's pain without saying a word. This was the effect she wanted. She believed that Merice would feel heartbroken and suffer for a lifetime.

"How could she take her own life?" Merice raised her head, her eyes filled with redness, looking at Lingxi.

"Living was too exhausting. Magic was sealed, and her right arm was cut off. She had no way to practice anymore, so she could only seek death..." Lingxi sighed as if she felt great sympathy for Iris's predicament.

"Don't let your makeup run, or it will affect your beautiful appearance," Lingxi squatted down and said casually, as if nothing had happened.

"She is my sister... I..." Merice choked up and couldn't continue speaking. The image of Iris's innocent face flashed through her mind.

"In the past, you didn't cherish her. Now, what's the point of trying to make up for it? Do you want me to kill Lessi and Xue Youyue right in front of you and just say it's done?" Lingxi sneered at Merice, stood up, turned around, and prepared to leave.

"You can't leave! Tell me more about Iris!" Merice suddenly shouted, her eyes filled with a pleading look.

"She's already dead," Lingxi coldly threw out these words and turned to walk outside. "Mrs. Merice, as today's bride, you better tidy up your appearance. We are leaving soon."

After speaking, Lingxi walked out of the room.

Merice sat on the edge of the bed, covering her mouth, sobbing softly. She never expected Iris to die so early...

Her heart felt so uncomfortable, so painful...
