“Your application has been received. It will take about three to four days to process. Do you have any questions?”

“No, it’s okay.”

“Yes, then take care~”

As I walked out of the building after receiving a friendly greeting from the office staff, I began to feel a sense of relief but also emptiness.

Now, we have become a couple, beyond just friends and lovers. I have become Hyukjin’s, and Hyukjin has become mine.

All that’s left is the wedding.

If we just successfully carry out that grand ceremony that ties the knot between couples, wouldn’t it really be the end?

I felt a little depressed and sad because it seemed like the end of a long journey was in sight.

“Shall we walk a little?”

“Yeah.”

I hold Hyukjin’s hand and slowly walk down the alley.

The first street we walked together as a couple.

I felt my body heat up with excitement as I spoke to my husband.

“That’s amazing.”

“What?”

“Just, everything.”

“It’s not fun.”

My husband kept giggling while saying it wasn’t funny, and I continued to look at him with loving eyes, still so light-hearted.

“At first, we were friends, then a month ago, we were lovers, and now we’re walking side by side as a couple. That’s what I find so fascinating.”

“Well… is that so strange? I don’t think there’s anything more strange than a friend with balls turning into a vixen that you like overnight.”

“That’s right.”

Puhhh.

As I laughed out loud at the mischievous joke, my husband yawned lazily and looked off somewhere.

The place my eyes met was a playground where children were running and playing.

After just staring at the place for a while, I led my husband to the playground.

“Let’s go, it reminds me of old times and it’s nice.”

“What are you thinking about in the past, if only I had just sat on the bench all day long.”

“Isn’t that an old thought?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

My husband followed us reluctantly, shaking his head, and when two adult men and women suddenly appeared at the playground, the troublemakers became wary of us.

However, there was a mischievous child among the children who pointed at us and yelled at us.

“Princess and Beast Mister – !”

Emboldened by that cry, the children ran and surrounded the husband.

Suddenly, my husband, surrounded by children, looked at me with eyes asking for help, but there was nothing I could do to help him.

I smiled broadly and began to intuit that the children were harassing my husband.

“Mr. Beast! Show me some muscles!”

“What is your relationship with your sister? You kidnapped her, right? You always look at her with perverted eyes!”

“Let go of Sister! Sister! Run away while we’re holding you!!!”

Noisy children chattering, a husband who is at a loss with his bewilderment.

At that amusing sight, I approached the young warriors who were trying to defeat the beast, patted their heads, and calmed the excited children with a soft voice.

“Guys? Don’t worry. This guy is not a beast.”

“Aren’t you a beast? You’re on the bed…”

“Be quiet.”

Crack – !

There’s nothing I can’t say in front of the kids!

What if the growing dream trees learn strange things because of you?

When I hit her back hard, my husband becomes silent, as if he knows he did something wrong.

And seeing that sight, the children smiled brightly and cheered.

“Princess defeated the Beast Man!!!”

“”Wow!!!!!””

So the kids hovered around us for a long time and then started playing among themselves again, and I sat on the bench like I used to and watched them play.

The children playing tag in front of me, squealing and laughing, their lively appearance brought out my hidden curiosity.

When the baby in my stomach is born, will he be as active as those kids? Or will he be a lazy person who doesn’t like to move like me?

If you resemble Hyukjin, you’ll probably have an active personality, and if you resemble me, you’ll probably have a lazy personality.

…Honestly, I wish I had a lazy personality.

He’s my husband, but I really can’t stand it if my son or daughter inherits even a little bit of that perverted behavior.

“If you think about it this way, it might be better to have just one child.”

Have you ever sat there for a while, laughing and watching the kids build sand castles?

My husband pointed to the children and then quietly spoke to me.

“The playground doesn’t seem to have changed much in the past 20 years.”

“Yeah, there’s no difference except that the number of kids has decreased.”

“Seeing them reminds me of the old days. We used to have fun at the playground too.”

“Were you having fun? While the kids were playing tag, hide and seek, and mugunghwa, we were discussing within the acceptable range of furries.”

“What was the conclusion back then? Did they say that a human with only a tail and ears is not a furry?”

“I guess so? Didn’t they just call the 15 percent as Suin and the rest as Perry?”

As I was talking about old memories that came to mind after a long time, my mind became dizzy.

What on earth was my past self? How perverted was I before I turned into Cheonho?

As I felt the surrounding air suddenly get warmer and fanned myself with my hand, my husband spoke to me in a small voice.

“…I think it’s better to hide this. If my son or daughter hears this, I don’t think they’ll treat us like parents.”

“I think so too. Let’s not mention it again.”

I knew that I might have something to say, but my husband and I made a pact to never mention the incident again, and we slowly got up to head back to the mansion.

“Let’s go back soon, Your Majesty… No, should I call you honey now?”

“I submitted the marriage certificate, so you should call me honey. Well, you can call me wife.”

“Okay. My wife, what, I’ll just call you honey. Then shall we go back? Honey?”

“Yeah!”

I gave my husband a light kiss on the cheek and walked towards the mansion with light steps.

After submitting the marriage registration, two weeks passed by so quickly as we started preparing for the wedding.

A few days to decide where to go for the honeymoon, a few days to think about how to prepare for the wedding reception, and a few days to prepare the rest of the miscellaneous stuff.

Thanks to our busy preparations, we were fortunate enough to finish everything within two weeks, and Hyukjin and I finally had our wedding day.

[It’s the day of the madam and master’s wedding! Everyone, prepare thoroughly without making any mistakes!]

[Don’t move hastily, move calmly! If you make a mistake, I will personally throw you into the room of time and mind!]

[If you want to see your cute child early, don’t make this mistake.]

All the maids move in unison at the head maid’s ominous voice.

Each of the shiny, luscious golden tails has a maid attached to it, and the hair is meticulously decorated by a head maid and the face is made up by a fox spirit.

If it were normal, I would have brushed it off as excessive, but today is my wedding day.

I quietly allowed them to touch me, and I was able to get ready faster than I thought.

“Open your eyes and check yourself in the mirror. Even if you look at it, you can see that this is a masterpiece.”

At the words of the fox god, who was panting and breathing heavily, I slowly opened my eyes and looked in the mirror.

Then, a fox girl more beautiful than any fox I’ve ever seen comes into view.

Golden hair that shines brilliantly in the light.

Blood-red eyes that look like they’re set with rubies.

Skin that is as white as jade, but looks healthy without being pale.

Adding to the fox’s unique cuteness are its fluffy, pointed ears and nine thick, lovable tails.

I just stared blankly at the mirror, at the sight of a woman who seemed to have all the beauty in the world: purity, cuteness, allure, innocence.

“Do you like it? I tried my best because it was the wedding of the one and only apostle.”

“…”

“Why, why aren’t you saying anything?! Or, is it that you don’t like it? I, I can’t do better than this…?”

The fox god looks flustered and anxious as he just stares silently.

At her cute reaction, I approached her and hugged her tightly.

“I’m satisfied. It’s just that it’s so pretty that I couldn’t say anything.”

“No, aren’t you surprised! Ga, I thought you were going to lose your liver.”

“What a pity, I was going to pick it up and eat it deliciously when it fell off.”

“…You’ve become more playful since you became a married woman.”

The fox goddess let out a sigh of relief and checked to see if there were any parts that were out of order. After she finished checking, her mother and older sister came into the bridal waiting room as if they had been waiting for her.

“Wow… Our daughter is really pretty. She seems like she could spread her wings and fly into the sky?”

“Phehehe, where are the fox’s wings?”

“That’s how pretty you are. Seriously, I can’t even joke about it.”

Mom laughs out loud and naturally steps back behind her older sister.

When my sister realized that my mother was hiding behind me, she shook her head and handed me a gift while showing off her bulging muscles.

“Take it, it’s a wedding gift.”

“It’s so simple? What is that? It’s a bracelet?”

When I tilted my head in confusion and expressed my doubts, my sister told me about the bracelet’s effectiveness.

“This is a talisman for a healthy child and safe delivery. It’s precious, so always wear it.”

“Hehe, thank you, sis.”

When I showed my shy sister a bright smile, she said she needed to go to the bathroom and left the waiting room.

Sister, you’re really not honest.

Well, I guess that’s what makes our older sister so charming, right?

I look at the door my sister left through with a faint smile and ask my mom.

“Wait, where did dad go? You didn’t come because you didn’t want to see your daughter’s wedding, did you?”

“He said he was a little emotional. He’ll escort me out later.”

Mom followed me with a warm smile, carefully stroking her shiny, luscious tail.

“My child is already getting married. It doesn’t feel real.”

“Do you think it’s real for me? Honestly, I feel like I’m dreaming right now. If I wake up from this dream, I feel like everything will go back to the beginning…”

“Mom was like that too, but this is reality. What should I do to pinch your arm?”

As she spoke, my mother gently pinched my arm, and the slight pain rising up my arm confirmed to me that this was reality.

“Thank you, Mom.”

“Thank you, but what can I do with this?”

My mother made small talk to ease my tension and then left for the wedding hall, and now only the spirit of the fox spirit remained in the bridal waiting room, speaking to me.

[Are you shaking?]

“If you don’t tremble, that’s weird.”

[Hehehe, but don’t be too nervous. You can charm anyone right now. Be confident like you were in a photo studio.]

“…Thank you.”

After thanking the fox god, the goblin I saw last time asked me to slowly prepare to enter, and as I finished preparing, the host’s loud voice was heard.

[Bride’s entrance!!!]

I walked towards the restaurant without hesitation.
