Chapter 678 – For Whom the Island Is Moved (6)
***
Borrowing the hands of many people, I devoted myself to preparing for the wedding and handling other matters.
“Forage Special) Wedding preparations are fucking good.”
“Well… I’ve done it twice, wouldn’t it be natural?”
“Oh no.”
Fran’s factual violence hurts so much. But thanks to you, did you finish it quickly?
It was thanks to him that he was able to almost complete the preparations for the wedding in just 9 days and invite domestic guests. There were also acquaintances from abroad who came to visit me at the right time.
“This is Sirona Verbeia, the chief priest.”
“Sah, this is Cerzanne Heiromaine! I am an archaeologist!”
He introduced her to her mother-in-law and Professor Hiro Main, attended the education practice of the bi-cons, and announced the wedding schedule. It was impressive to see him reply that he would attend as if he was embarrassed.
After receiving the wedding invitation and counting the number of attendees, he called the chef from Haysbent.
While consulting with the wedding planner that Elizabeth had called, he followed the style of an aristocratic marriage, and wrote a letter to Lady Hennesses asking to officiate the wedding.
Young Ae seemed to think of it as an opportunity to strengthen her relationship with Gong-Dyu-nim, and sent her a reply of approval.
So today.
I was fully prepared for the wedding day.
“I guess you weren’t nervous. It looks familiar.”
“No, Mr. Hotulusil. I can’t congratulate you, but what are you talking about out of the blue?”
I was waiting for Veronica to prepare while meeting people briefly before the ceremony.
I was so nervous when I was laying out my thesis, but I didn’t care at the wedding.
It’s weird when people hear it, so you’re just a bad kid.
“How many months do humans marry? I think it was only last winter that I entrusted Cromwell with proxy attendance, but I heard that it was the third time after one more.”
Did this pigtail dude come to filter out a fight?
I thought you were worried about not being able to attend the wedding with Fran. Hotulusil, who actually asked such a question, was even more disrespectful because he looked genuinely curious.
‘Will it turn into permanent hair loss after it suddenly bleeds?’
You can even shave her hair without even talking about it.
People say they get angry when they have nothing to say, but I just stopped.
“Haha! There are many cases where marriage is forced!”
It was the first civil servant I had ever seen who supported me.
He was sent from Alwyn—Dana’s hometown. Maybe the grace period of less than a week was too short for the lord to come in person. It seems that he sent someone on his behalf.
“There are not a few cases in which not aristocrats, but ordinary citizens with qualifications get married at short intervals. Sometimes I have a ceremony with several women at once.”
“That’s fine.”
Did you hit my shield by any chance?
It was the first time I had heard of many people getting married at short intervals, but it seems that this civil official was defending me in order to buy my favor.
Could it be because of the existence of Atlantis and the relationship with Elisabeth?
It seemed that my reputation had begun to affect the aristocracy as well.
I can’t say that there aren’t people who ignore people who are just getting ahead of the common people. However, due to the influence of the princess and the elder Cornelius, there were no gossips openly.
‘Still, it’s not a joint wedding.’
It wasn’t a thank-you sale, and getting married together was too against my ideology.
Even if I can’t do it, I want to leave the wedding as a good memory.
In the yard where even linking political interests is frowned upon, is it not multitasking and driving the wedding? It’s not even worth mentioning.
‘It’s good news that the wedding cycle can be done a little faster.’
The reason the wedding is delayed is because I feel sorry for my wives. Because you did it, you’re next, because I feel like I’m done with the same method.
But it’s definitely something to think about.
Will the wedding be fast and frequent?
Or will you make me wait without a promise like now?
‘There’s room for discussion as to which one feels more sorry for their wives.’
Thinking so, I separated from the guests at the right time. It is worth writing down the issue of the wedding cycle in a notebook and thinking about it.
Still, you can’t be immersed in your worries on a day like today.
“… Dear Wouldn’t it be awkward?”
“At all. Just be pretty.”
Veronica, wearing a dress based on the marriage culture of Bicon, is worried that her outfit will be strange. I took her hand and walked to her wedding hall.
There are as many curious eyes as blessings.
Probably because Veronica and the bicorns didn’t cover their horns. This time, the ceremony was held in the form of a standing party in the garden of the mansion, but the people who gathered were quite famous.
As such, they must have a lot of thoughts about the appearance of a race that has not been revealed in history.
I will change that thinking in a positive direction. Even if you have a fucking idea, don’t ever put it into action. That was for Veronica.
“On such a happy day, I feel honored to be able to pray for the happiness of the two of you in the presence of God. I, Maria Hennesis, will officiate.”
Was it because it was a place with princesses and other nobles? Lady Hennessys went through a more complicated procedure than last time and said a blessing to us as we stood holding hands.
“Wisdom is a lamp that shines ahead, but no lamp shines beyond the reach of the eye. How many secrets we do not know about under this sky.”
Lady Hennesses, who had been reciting a long formal congratulatory speech, moved her mouth as per my request.
“However, as a servant of Princess Elizabeth and a scholar who studies the history of the past. Lord Nord Wolfheddin saved the descendants of the Age of Gods from grief.”
A few of the guests, not knowing the circumstances, hummed a little.
It must have been because expressions that stimulated curiosity came out after thinking of it as an ordinary officiating ceremony and passing it off.
I was worried Whether the bicorns should live while hiding their race or not.
However, it was not a long and difficult agony. The answer is fixed.
They deserved to be proud of themselves.
Wouldn’t it be possible for me to solve the secondary problems that arise as a result? The forager who roasted and boiled the goddess who carried the fate of the clan had a duty to do so.
“Let’s pray to our God that today will be a new beginning for Lord Wolfhedin and his spouse, and a new beginning for them.”
After kissing the star sign, Lady Hennesses gestured.
I kissed her Veronica’s ring and interlaced her hand with her in accordance with the wedding culture of her bicons. Veronica’s forehead touched mine.
It is said that the bicorns have to bump their horns here, but unfortunately, there are no horns growing on the head of Kang Buk-ho, who is merciful like an angel.
“Whoops.”
Still, Veronica smiled happily. A smile bloomed on her lips as well.
The bicorns put their hands on their chests and spoke in chorus.
【I pray to our ancestor Yu Hee-sin, please watch over us so that our bond can last forever.】
I listened to their prayers while receiving the mana flowing from Veronica’s forehead.
Is it a bit strange that the object of prayer is Yu Hee-sin?
But life is said to be the longest game, and how terrible is a marriage without joy.
If Loki, whose name is Yu Hee-sin, is really Rodur, the god of words, that is understandable. Maybe it’s not just because they’re bicorn ancestors.
The importance of communication in married life is self-evident.
The overflowing mana gently made our clothes and hair sway. The pretty strings tied around Veronica’s horns fluttered gracefully.
Have you heard of it in Germania before?
It was said that bicorns used to decorate their horns with long strings.
Considering that was the time when I hadn’t even told Veronica that I loved her, I could see how long our goddess had secretly waited for this day.
This day, which will remain in my memory for the rest of my life, will be the day to celebrate Veronica and I’s married life, and the new beginning of the bicorn family. It feels like it’s probably going to be an anniversary at the tribal level.
Veronica opened her eyes. I laughed lightly.
“Should we end it with a kiss?”
“… In our tribe’s tradition, this mana exchange is the end.”
Exchanging mana means making body and mind one. In terms of metaphorical value, it feels like a god and more noble than a simple kiss.
I hugged her and smiled.
“No?”
Veronica smiled troubledly, pouting her lips and squeezing my cheek.
“… It is also the virtue of a wife to adapt to her master.”
─ Side.
With a final kiss, we reciprocated by waving our hands to cheers and applause.
***
Apart from my personal wish to leave out the political element from the wedding, I can’t just kick out the guests who came to visit me.
“I am the head of the adventurer’s guild in Haysbent. Recently, there has been talk of setting up an adventurer’s guild branch in Heathreuth, but I’m sorry about this——”
“There is a lot of news that the wizard society is interested in the rescue of Atlantis. But don’t you know what kind of rudeness those human scumbags will do to Lord Wolfheddin——”
“Have you thought of investing in Dunamis Workshop by any chance?”
“The garden is very beautiful. Have you hired any gardeners?”
Aigo fuck. Mindless, mindless
It’s a garden because I used the fairy king’s wand to bring it back to life for a standing party. Elisabeth also praised it almost as much as the royal garden.
The party was thrifty in an appropriate line, but the quality of the goods and the garden appealed to ‘this bastard is rich’. This is the result of following the advice of the wedding planner.
‘But these bastards, didn’t come here to celebrate a wedding, but to propose a business.’
Even though I grumbled, I dealt with them and briefly shared a drink and remembered their names.
By the way, remembering the name means that the Valkyrie inside the medal is taking note of it. My long-term memory is not very reliable.
‘Why does this fucking town have such a long name?’
Let the third generation of conglomerates and the dirt spoon equally follow the Korean national character, which favored names with three letters. I dealt with them in the gaps between flirting with Veronica.
“By the way, it’s difficult to ask a question, but your wife—”
“Please wait for the official announcement.”
Questions about Veronica’s race were consistent with no comments. It’s not a press conference, let’s not brainwash. Today is a wedding, not a hearing.
“Oh. Francesca has very fair skin. May I ask what cosmetics she uses?”
“Yeah? No, I don’t use anything else, just enough that an alchemist I know gives it to me from time to time… “
“… Is that so?”
It was also surprising that there were people who tried to talk to my wives as well.
Is this an aristocratic wedding? To be honest, it’s not my hobby. It’s such a good day, and I feel like I want it to end soon.
“Whoops. Can we join the conversation too?”
“Hey, princess? Oh Of course. Sir Wolfheddin, I will step aside.”
Elisabeth, who noticed how I was feeling, gave her an end while showing her face appropriately. Hey, our princess is really quick-witted. Thanks to that, the angle to tie her knot stood.
“Maria of the Hennesses family is meeting the princess.”
“I remember. I saw you on the anniversary, right?”
First of all, I introduced Lady Hennesis and the princess, and in the meantime, she regained her composure a little.
“It’s Ralilura. Why are you dying like that?”
“… I was kicked out of the celebration.”
I wonder if he wanted to run away from strangers as much as he had a spunky temperament. Veronica spoke to the sullen Lari Lura, and she gave her an awkward look.
“You got kicked out?”
“There are people who don’t know that it’s the same with seniors, but they say it’s not good to perform. So later, I’ll sing a few songs with a congratulatory song or a dignified song.”
“Right. Don’t worry too much, we’re grateful even from our hearts.”
“Hey…”
Lalilura sobbed as she hugged Veronica. Considering the time and place, she hugged Veronica instead of me, like a smart junior.
Like that—I don’t know if that’s an appropriate expression—and the wedding ended successfully.
Towards the end of the day, I called the bicorns.
【I’m sorry if I called you when I had an appointment. The street was a festival, so those who had a prior agreement with the residents are welcome to return.]
【Is it more important than the call of the guidance teacher?】
The bicorns kneeling and aligning seemed to have no dissatisfaction with Adelaide’s words. Shouldn’t I have just left it overnight and called it tomorrow?
I said while touching my bangs.
【Today, in the process of melting into the world, I called because I wanted to discuss a few things. In modern times, human nations have occupied most of the continent.]
【I will follow your instructions.】
They look at you as if you are ordering something.
Veronica, still in a dress, is looking at them as if slightly thrilled.
‘… Write it.’
This is the problem. Hiding my troubled mood, I spoke from the beginning.
【It’s not difficult. I would like to solve it by weaving together your social harmony and ownership of Atlantis. It is to reveal some of the truth of history.]
【I will listen.】
【There is a group called Archeology. As those who have a great influence on the persuasion of human society, I plan to preach to them the truth I have discovered so far, the traces of Atlantis, and your existence.]
The detailed process is a little more complex, so I took some time to explain it.
【──Detailed procedures are above. Do you have any questions?】
Not a single question
Those who still looked like children gathered together and listened with an immobile attitude. I wanted to ask them to sit comfortably and listen, but I gave up because I thought I would have to persuade them.
Isn’t this really a race of graduate students—no, a race whose happiness is to serve their master?
【Now that we’ve talked about the future, let’s ask a little more.】
That blind loyalty makes me uncomfortable.
That was the reason I was here today.
【If you can blend into human society, what will you do in the future?】
【I will follow the guide and repay the favor.】
Look at it Because I knew it would be like this.
Adelaide said as if she had been talking among themselves a long time ago.
【You saved my family from a lonely fate. Even if it’s not enough, I’ll meet you by your side.]
【I will meet you.】
Bicorns lowering their heads with their mouths together.
I watched the scene quietly and said.
【No, that’s troublesome.】
No honorifics. It puts the fact that these guys are descendants of gods into disrepute, and their way of thinking is too specialized for serving someone. It was almost something special.
So now is the time for a firm order.
【Loyalty is just an illusion. If you want to serve me like a king with a heart to repay the favor, I will firmly decline that.]
Watching the bicorns panic, I thought.
Apparently, these bicorns need a union.
