update icon Updated at 2023/6/27 18:10:12

Today should be a festive day, with the sun shining brightly and the sky completely clear.

In Castle Cogunar, an ancient building that has survived the ravages of war and still retains its original appearance, the servants are busy bustling about.

Today is a big day, not only for the people in the castle but also for the royal family of Alfrek and even for the entire kingdom.

Because today is the wedding day of the second princess, a person with various reputations such as the battlefield princess, lion princess, and sword dance princess. However, the hurrying servants and some aristocrats don't seem to show any happy expressions on their faces.

On the contrary, their expressions are very strange. Well, how to describe it...

Embarrassed...

Everyone is working with an embarrassed face or talking in small groups dressed in finery.

"Well, I'm not unaware of how they feel..."

Hiding under a tree in the courtyard, NanGong YeYu watched the nobles dressed in bright and splendid clothes without any expression.

At this moment he had already changed into his wedding attire, which was paired with Lelia's. Instead of suits, the clothes were more like warrior's garments.

Although it was so, the blue and white interwoven clothing set off Nanyu's elegance without losing its grace and elegance, which YeYu could only see in manga, anime, and games.

Well, it suits him.

Taking out a mirror, YeYu adjusted his already well-groomed black hair and then examined himself carefully in the mirror.

After making sure there were no problems, he put on a charming smile that he believed would captivate anyone.

"I'm still so handsome."

"I've never seen someone so full of themselves."

Replacing the distressed author who didn't know if he should spit out his complaints, the princess appeared behind NanGong YeYu, wearing her wedding attire with her hands on her hips.

YeYu had no choice but to turn back and see this beautiful girl, like a Valkyries, standing in front of him.

"Why are you still wearing this? Are you ready?"

Feeling confused by YeYu's question, Lelia looked at her ceremonial wedding clothes and frowned. They were indeed the clothes for the wedding ceremony.

Wearing this outfit and being mentally prepared should count as being fully prepared, although it seemed contradictory when talking with YeYu.

"I think... I should be ready."

Lelia said hesitantly.

"What about food?"

"…The servants will prepare the food." <"I'm saying goodbye to my two-dimensional billions of harems, inside sister and outside sister. Farewell."

"I have no idea what you're talking about, but it's about time."

What Lelia meant was, 'Hurry up and get up, the wedding ceremony is about to begin.'

Ye Yu's body could be felt trembling for a moment. He raised his head and said bitterly, "Can I delete the file and start over?"

"..."

...Dividing Line

Anyway, the ceremony was held as scheduled.

The castle was huge, and the ceremony was held in one of its temples.

Sitting here were the servants, nobles, and some representatives of the kingdom.

This was not the capital city, and the wedding was held too hastily. The leaders of the nine great noble families had appointed young representatives to come. Those who could not make it sent the nearest representatives to Castle Cogunar, and even the Lord of The Wheel City did not come. The wedding was held merely to go through the motions.

At the moment of great attention, everyone held their breath, and all eyes were on the direction.

The grand temple gate slowly opened.

A beam of light gradually expanded, filling everyone's vision with white light.

In the midst of the white light, a tall figure appeared.

Oh, something seems odd?

"Uh, why is there only one person?"

The attendees began to murmur to each other. After all, it was a wedding, and there were supposed to be two people there.

"The tall, thin figure must be the princess without a doubt, but where is the other person?"

In the front of the temple were the royal family members, the king, the third princess, the fourth princess, and other close relatives of the royal family, all in magnificent attire.

As the tall figure in the white light gradually became clearer, everyone present had a flustered expression on their faces.

"Damn, worthy of being the princess."

A noble young man exclaimed in admiration, and soon a woman next to him grabbed his ear.

"Ouch ouch ouch… Mom, I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please let go…"

"You're learning words from ruffians and rogues, without the elegance of a noble."

However, the woman still released her grip on her son's ear.

Of course, this was just a minor interlude, and the wedding continued.

Alektra, the second princess of the Olek Kingdom, known for her renowned beauty, slowly approached, holding what looked like a human figure.

This scene was not right. Even some old-as-fox officials who had experienced national turmoil and had been through ups and downs felt their hearts collapsing.

Although the princess was known for breaking norms, there was no need for this absurdity.

What was it behind her that was blurred out like a dead dog? A new weapon for the princess?

"Ahem, let's begin the ceremony."

In front of the Goddess statue, the king calmly spoke.

How could it be calm? The second princess looked at her father, who was sweating but pretending to be calm, and then at her elder sister. She coldly said, "This is a sacred ceremony, Father. If the other person is not alive, it cannot proceed."

"Eh, has big brother already died?"

The little girl who was originally poking that blurred human shape with a tree branch from somewhere, was suddenly scared.

Then continuing to poke again with the stick, the little girl said, "Big brother is so pitiful, beaten to death by big sister."

"Hey, hey, don't just give me a criminal record like this." Lelia was very distressed and ungracefully scratched her carefully groomed beautiful pale golden hair.

"This guy really tripped and died by himself."

Hearing this, the whole audience suddenly fell silent, leaving only the sound of people gasping.

"Could this be the long-lost…?"

Many ministers looked at each other, seeing the fear in each other's eyes.

King Everton whispered, "A flat fall... It hasn't happened for a long time, and it's even fatal."

"Yes, big brother fell and died!"

The little girl kept poking the blurry mass with a wooden stick.

"Don't play anymore."

Seeing the fuss of her family and the crowd of nobles that were being misled, the third princess, the young girl known as the Silver Princess, rubbed her temple.

"If only the princess is here, there's no way the ceremony can be held, right? Besides, there hasn't been such a precedent in our country or abroad.""What, I thought you were worried about something, but it turns out to be such a simple matter." "Simple...?" The silver-haired princess raised her eyebrows, and Lelia pointed at NanGong YeYu under her feet. "Just let him pretend to be dead." "..." "Do you think I'm an idiot, Princess?" "No, I just said there is a way." The silver-haired girl, who was as intelligent as her beauty, was wearing a dress that matched her hair color. She glanced at the lying YeYu with a cold voice and asked, "Is this guy... still alive...?" "Hmm... if it's a last-minute revival, it should be possible." The little loli tilted her head. "Sisters, we are in front of the Goddess right now, is it really okay to keep playing like this?" ...

Nobles, civilian representatives, rich businessmen, workers' representatives, royal relatives, everyone was paying attention to the new couple. One was a princess of the kingdom, with a prominent status and unparalleled strength that was praised and admired along with her beauty. Lelia Pendragon went on an expedition at the age of thirteen, and she has defeated evil spirits several times. She was known as the mortal incarnation of the Valkyrie and the dream lover of numerous hot-blooded young men, as well as a powerful warrior admired by many girls...

They had imagined that the other half of the princess would be a knight riding a Pegasus, a warrior as excellent as her, or even a king of another country... What they didn't expect was that the one standing next to her now was an unidentified mosaic combination. "I can imagine that the hearts of all the people present are collapsing." A noble young man who had just been scolded by his mother sighed that this was a goddess' joke.

As the handsome young man said, the hearts of everyone present were not calm. They then heard Lelia's heroic voice spread throughout the somewhat chaotic temple hall. "Bring me a bucket of water!" Soon a maid brought a bucket of water. Lelia took it and poured it over the humanoid mosaic lying next to her foot in front of the ghostly onlookers. "This isn't very good, is it...?" "Well, why don't you go and tell Princess Lelia?" "Forget it..."

Then, under the gaze of a crowd of onlookers, the mosaic combination lying on the ground began to wriggle. Wriggling... Wriggling... Wriggling... On the smooth ground... Wriggling! "Um, I seem to feel the gaze of demons from hell." The staggering otherworldly young man, covering his head, had no idea what was going on at the moment. "It's not too late to go to hell after the ceremony is over." Lelia glared. "This is bad, I really feel the call of the underworld." Click, click, click, click... YeYu looked at the tall Goddess statue in front of him and the crowd around him, and he felt very heavy in his heart. Click, click, click, click... "I think I have to stop this hell trial, or I'll really fall into hell... What's that sound, it's been clicking annoyingly... since just now..." Lelia stopped the action of her sword at her waist and looked at her husband with a twitching mouth and a smile. "Well, did you just say something?" "It's just your illusion, I was just curious why it hasn't started yet." At this moment, it was most important to save one's life, and YeYu held onto his hair and softened decisively.
