Chapter 371 – Surely Not?
At noon.
The center of the day, the time when the sun rises highest.
As the Solarium Empire uses the sun as its national symbol, noon has a particularly special meaning within the empire.
Of course, there is a powerful mystery embedded in the time that passes through the exact center of 24 hours, where the presence of the sun is most prominent.
Because it is also the time when most people are most active.
The empire’s major national events are supposed to start at noon at ten o’clock. It was a custom that had been handed down since the founding of the nation.
-Smart…
A discreet knocking sound was heard from outside the waiting room.
“Majesty. I am sorry to inform you, but there are only 30 minutes left until the event starts. “Please finish the preparations slowly.”
“Yes~”
The current time is 11:30.
Grooming, including clothing, was already done a long time ago. 30 minutes is just a small amount of time given to prepare for unexpected situations.
Now all that is left to do is literally appear in front of the people.
In the next 30 minutes, the two will officially become engaged in a future-related relationship.
There is no longer any need to hide or worry about what others think.
There will be no problem even if you start living together tomorrow or engage in private affection in a public place.
Considering that royal family members rarely change their fiancés, this is especially true for women.
It is safe to say that Wolfgang and Alicia will not be separated from each other in the future.
According to imperial law, you can even have children after an engagement ceremony.
A child born while the couple is still in a romantic relationship will be treated as an illegitimate child, but a child born after the engagement ceremony can be officially included in the royal bloodline.
So, they really become like a married couple.
At this point, Wolfgang was wondering what the difference between marriage and engagement was, so he asked the etiquette officer who happened to be dispatched from the imperial palace directly.
It is said that once the marriage contract is concluded, there are still complicated procedures to be followed.
Well, that’s something you can think about slowly later.
What was important right now was the engagement ceremony that was scheduled to take place in the next 30 minutes.
“…”
“…”
Wolfgang and Alicia looked at each other silently.
Of course, the appearance of the two men and women was very different from usual.
Among the artists invited to prepare for the engagement ceremony, the continent’s best director, Marquis Theodosius, who is by far the best in reputation, said this with his eyes shining as soon as he saw the two.
‘Great! Black and white, man and woman, roughness and softness! ‘Is there any other couple that contrasts so sharply and yet looks so good together at the same time?’
A high-ranking noble, such as a marquess, and an artist with a national reputation are not greatly tied to one-dimensional values such as money or fame.
Even if the request comes from the imperial family, if you don’t like it, you will reject it.
To put it in a bad way, I was a keut among keuts who seemed to have gone astray.
What these types of people pursue is their own artistic soul.
I didn’t know what it was that these two people possessed that satisfied their demanding tastes.
Anyway, Marquis Theodosius, who volunteered to lead the preparations for this engagement ceremony, literally burned everything to the ground.
Even so, the remaining schedule was so tight that it was almost like an inhuman forced march, so he passed out as soon as the stage was ready.
It’s meant to be preparation time, but in reality it’s the same as being lost.
Wolfgang cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Hmm… I don’t know if he’ll be okay. “He seemed quite old.”
It was to relieve the slightly awkward atmosphere of appreciating the unfamiliar couple’s appearance, which was different from usual.
“The Archbishop of the Celestial Church is personally healing, so he will get up soon. “It would be a shame for such a true artist to die already.”
“If you put it that way, you must be quite an amazing person.”
“Uhuhu… Sure… !”
To be honest, Wolfgang himself still doesn’t know what it is.
He thought that he must have prepared well, seeing as Alicia, who was much more knowledgeable in art than he was, nodded to him with a serious expression.
If you take into account how the two of them have changed now.
Even considering Wolfgang’s artistic knowledge, which was not that deep for an aristocrat, there seemed to be no doubt that Marquis Theodosius was the best director on the continent.
In general, when it comes to hard-core artists, there is a feeling that they are somewhat disconnected from the public’s tastes.
If Marquis Theodosius’s tastes had been the same, he would not have been reputed as the greatest artist on the continent.
“There are definitely characters alive.”
Wolfgang turned his head and looked at the large mirror.
The man’s reflection in the mirror looked like a different person, even though it was clearly the image of himself that he saw every morning.
There is no problem if you cover the scars on your body with clothes, but the large black marks across your face are unavoidable unless you wear a mask.
I was wondering how on earth I could solve the bad impression that no matter what I do, I look bad.
‘A scar on your face? ‘Why do I have to hide it?’
‘Yes?’
‘General, this is me. I don’t think there is anything that can be thrown away among the elements of an object. Whether it’s an advantage or a disadvantage, beautiful or ugly. In the end, only when all those elements come together does one person become complete.’
Marquis Theodosius sat Wolfgang down and started a tirade that was difficult to understand.
—Flowing… !
With a flick of his finger, he took out various beauty tools, including scissors, razors, and hair oil, and laid them out in the air.
In just 30 seconds, he completely changed Wolfgang’s appearance.
As his rank rose to the point where he no longer had to worry about the hair regulations of imperial officers, he grew his hair out out of frustration.
As soon as the Marquis’ hand touched the head, the long hair was transformed into a wild and unique hairstyle reminiscent of a lion’s mane.
Several types of cosmetics I don’t know the names of that I’ve never used on my skin before pass by, almost sweeping across my face.
Although the scars on his face were clearly visible, he never looked ugly, giving off the appearance of a wild king who had survived through numerous struggles.
“Sure. As for how cool the master looks now… “
Even Alicia looked at Wolfgang’s face in ecstasy and made a dreamy expression.
To begin with, his original version itself wasn’t bad.
Rather, it was a face that could be said to be very handsome, but because of the scar, it was more like his true worth was not revealed properly.
Now you can see that it has regained its original form.
—Swoosh
Although Alicia reached out her hand towards Wolfgang’s crotch reflexively.
“Seup… “Not now, Alicia.”
“Hmph.”
With one stern hand gesture, that shameful attempt was thwarted at once.
At that sight, Wolfgang sighed and crossed his eyes.
“Ha… What on earth are you doing this for? It’s an important position, isn’t it? “What if I get into an accident in front of so many people?”
“But. “The owner is so cool.”
“No kid, just be patient for today.”
I never thought I would reveal my desires so blatantly even in a situation like this.
I already knew that Alicia’s sexual desire was as abnormal as Wolfgang’s virility.
Also, if you don’t release it regularly, accidents can happen.
Even though I tried to solve it by masturbating, she shook her head and said that was not possible, so it was already a new thing for her to end up having sex.
But anyway, isn’t the story different today?
The eyes of the empire’s influential nobles are focused solely on the two people.
“No, I’ll try my best…” “
“I’ve been able to handle it so far, but today I really can’t.”
“Well, then… “What can we do quickly now?”
“Once the fire is on, it’s a topic that you can cling to and beg for for hours. Do you think you can be satisfied with just a dozen minutes or so?”
What if Alicia’s pervert nature is revealed in front of all these people?
‘Oh… ‘
I couldn’t even imagine the aftermath that would follow.
The fact that the princess of the empire is an unresponsive pervert must be known only to her.
You can never tell anyone else.
Not only can I not do that, I don’t want to.
Now the time was approaching when I really had to stand up in front of people.
Wolfgang held Alicia’s hand tightly and gave her one last request.
“Alicia.”
“Yes, master.”
“I trust you. You won’t do anything weird this time, right?”
Never, ever.
This engagement ceremony must be completed successfully without any accidents.
After that, she was confident that she would happily accept whatever play Alicia requested.
“Whoa, Alicia.”
“Yes, master.”
Wolfgang whispered, stroking Alicia’s hair.
It was a card I tried not to take out, but I had no choice this time.
“Once this engagement ceremony is over safely, then I will fuck her in the ass.”
