Aki's wedding was a joyous occasion. Her parents, little brother Katsu, and other family members attended the event and everyone in the Honmaru celebrated her union with Hizen happily.
Lena was thrilled to witness her Saniwa sister Aki marry the love of her life. Aki had always been Lena's closest companion, and the thought of Aki marrying Hizen filled Lena with immense joy. Lena knew she wanted to do something special for her sister, something that would be as sweet and beautiful as Aki herself.
So, she decided to bake Aki's wedding cake. Lena baked an extravagant three tiered wedding cake, with the help of Shokudaikiri, Shishio and Chatannakiri. When Aki saw the cake, tears welled up in her eyes. She knew how much effort Lena had put into making it, and she was overwhelmed with gratitude.
The wedding was beautiful, filled with love and memories that would last a lifetime. When it came time to cut the cake, Aki and her husband Hizen did so with beaming smiles, surrounded by their loved ones.
"It's your favourite flavour!" Lena announced proudly, hoping that Aki would enjoy the cake. "Congratulations, sister. And Hizen-kun, of course!"
As Lena watched her sister, she felt a deep sense of fulfillment. She knew that this cake, made with love and the help of dear friends, would always be a sweet reminder of Aki's special day. Soon, with the arrival of the baby, more special days were to come.
Truth be told, the wedding was a welcome distraction for Lena. Lena had been dreading the thought of her cousin Nori's upcoming trial for weeks. Nori had always been the black sheep of the family, getting into trouble more often than not, but this time was different. The charges against him were serious, and the thought of him facing such a grim future weighed heavily on Lena's heart.
Despite their differences, Nori was still family, and the idea of him being locked away filled her with anxiety and sorrow.
On the day of the wedding, as Lena stood by Aki's side, her mind was filled with the celebration at hand. The sight of Aki walking down the aisle in her wedding attire, and the beaming smiles of the newlyweds were enough to keep Lena's mind focused on the present. The wedding was beautiful, and for a while, it was easy to forget about the heavy burden she had been carrying.
The wedding reception party lasted late into the night. But as the evening drew to a close, and the guests began to leave, Lena felt the weight of reality start to creep back in. The joy of the wedding was still fresh, but in the quiet moments, thoughts of Nori began to resurface. The trial was only days away now, and Lena knew she couldn't ignore it any longer.
