The scene looked bizarre and out of place. Many of the wedding guests were from prestigious families and had attended out of respect for the king. They had never encountered such a spectacle. While the Warren family were not nobles, they had a long-standing heritage. How could a wedding decreed by the king turn into such a chaotic event? Sguests waited, hoping the host would make the necessary arrangements. But as tpassed and no additional seats were set up, they realized what had happened.
No one openly complained, but they politely took their leave, citing having to deal with important matters at has their reason for heading off. Many claimed they had simply cto pass on their congratulations and well wishes, so it didn't matter if they missed the party.
Barrett was utterly bewildered, as he had no idea the soldiers would be attending. Watching the guests leave with their families, he felt as if he was being slapped repeatedly. His face burned with a mix of shand anger. Ignoring the guests still seated, he stormed over to Aurora and pulled her up. "Cwith me. I need to speak with you." Aurora stood up and smiled at the soldiers. "You all keep drinking. I'll be back soon." One soldier teased, "General Warren, are you in a hurry to get cozy with your bride? Hahaha!" "Take it easy, General Warren. You'll need to drink with us later." "Hahaha, exactly! This isn't like at the army barracks!" The seated guests becvisibly uncomfortable at such crude remarks. Almost simultaneously, they stood up and left with their families without even saying goodbye. Barrett was fuming.
Such talk might be fine in the barracks, but the guests in attendance today were high-ranking officials and nobility. Even one of the royal princes, Jerome, and his wife had cwith their children. Now, they had also left their seats, leaving behind a meaningless remark before departing.

Now, all the guests have left!" Aurora had been drinking with her comrades and hadn't noticed the guests leaving. She was different from the typical ladies of wealthy families.
As a general, what was wrong with being boisterous and celebrating with her fellow soldiers? She believed that showing camaraderie with the soldiers would earn admiration from the guests and demonstrate her unique qualities.
Shocked to hear that the guests had left, she glanced around and saw that only soldiers remained.
"Why did they leave?"
"There weren't enough seats!" Barrett couldn't help but get angry at Aurora's ignorance of the situation. So, I'm asking why you invited the soldiers without telling us? They shouldn't have been mixed with these guests."
Aurora's femper flared when she heard his words, retorting, "Are they looking down on the soldiers? What right do they have? These soldiers fought bloody battles to protect these people's comfortable lives! Why shouldn't the soldiers deserve to share in the celebration?" Looking at his wife's indignant face, Barrett couldn't help but raise his voice as well, "It's not about whether they deserve to or not. It's just that we shouldn't have invited soldiers to this event! "They should be at their posts! You summoned over a hundred soldiers here just because you wanted to? you get permission from their commander? If not, they could face punishment for abandoning their posts!
