Ch.129Side Story: Each One’s Life

With the sudden intrusion of goblins, Brina completely lost her temper.

How frustrated must she have been to curse her own regenerating body?

Brina literally beat the goblins to a pulp.

She couldn’t help but be angry since they were trying to ruin this once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

Radios didn’t try to stop her anyway.

He neither had the power to stop her nor wanted to deal with Brina when she was this angry.

Anyway, not long after Brina thoroughly thrashed the goblins.

They left the venue with dejected faces.

Their last words were to convey congratulations to the chieftain.

Some might wonder if it was necessary to chase them away like that.

But imagine if they had done this during the wedding ceremony.

Really… that would be too much. Absolutely unacceptable. It’s better to beat them up and send them back to the Demonic Prison.

“I’m sorry… my tribe ruined this wonderful occasion a bit.”

“Well, just think of it as an event. The couple hasn’t even appeared yet anyway.”

“Sigh… how should I discipline these damn goblin bastards?”

Brina shook her head, her tone suggesting she was still either embarrassed or angry.

Honestly, the goblins went too far this time.

Ruining someone’s wedding like that really crossed the line.

Of course, from their perspective, they were just trying to celebrate.

But if the person involved, especially someone bound by blood relation, absolutely hates it, shouldn’t they refrain?

They really resemble someone who never listens to what others say.

“Veichel… can we start right away since this is embarrassing? I really don’t want to think about it anymore…”

“Well… we need to get a signal that the couple has arrived— Ah, they’re here now.”

At Veichel’s words, Brina changed from holding her head to a more dignified posture.

Radios and Arsia also focused on Veichel’s words with reverent minds(?).

“Ah, so… I’d like to thank all the guests gathered here today. I am Veichel Breate, Emperor of the Kadinant Empire, serving as the officiant.”

Clap clap clap clap clap.

Although there were only three guests at this wedding.

No one pointed this out since they had just experienced that having more people wouldn’t necessarily make things better.

“Today is truly a blessed day. The one who ruled over time and death will unite with the one who ruled over the sea. First, let me introduce our handsome groom, Kraud.”

Creeeeak.

The venue doors opened, and Kraud walked out wearing a tailored black suit.

There was no hesitation in his steps.

His gaze was fixed solely on the altar that existed just for the two of them.

Step, step.

Walking at a pace neither too fast nor too slow, Kraud reached the altar and bowed to the audience.

He was so grateful for those who attended.

And he knew well that they would continue to live together in the future.

He was desperately holding back tears that threatened to fall.

And when Kraud’s brief greeting ended.

Veichel finished testing the microphone and continued with the next line.

“Now, for the highlight of our wedding. The bride of Kraud who is more beautiful and noble than anyone else in this world! I present to you, Poseidon!”

Once again, the venue doors opened and Poseidon entered wearing a pure white wedding dress.

The imposing female warrior she had shown during battle was nowhere to be seen.

Only the image of a beautiful woman getting married to one man remained.

Among those watching, Radios felt the most emotional.

‘Lady Poseidon. You deserve to live like this.’

She no longer needed to bear the heavy burden of being the sea goddess.

She just needed to continue a happy married life with Kraud.

Perhaps that’s why.

Radios instructed Namgung Ihyun to go behind Poseidon and hold her dress.

She was familiar with this wedding custom and volunteered for the role.

The beautiful dress shouldn’t be ruined by dragging in the dust.

Walking very softly, Poseidon reached the altar and looked up at Kraud who was watching her.

As if that was the signal, Kraud extended his hand to her.

Poseidon showed a bright smile as she took Kraud’s hand and climbed onto the altar.

Namgung Ihyun, having completed her task, quietly returned to being Radios’s shadow.

[Whew… I also wanted to dream of such a life.]

‘If you want, just say so. I can find you a match.’

[I’m already dead, so what’s the point? That’s a luxury I can’t afford.]

Namgung Ihyun couldn’t take her eyes off Poseidon’s face.

She was so beautiful, smiling with joy at even the smallest things.

She wondered how her life might have been if she hadn’t fallen to Yog-Sothoth.

This pained Radios’s heart.

Her life had been ruined by Yog-Sothoth.

It seemed like a good opportunity to reconsider Namgung Ihyun’s treatment.

“What a beautiful couple. Do we need words? They love each other. If you come here and don’t see that, you’re not human.”

Veichel, perhaps envious of the couple, momentarily lost his composure as the officiant and rambled a bit.

But he soon regained his focus and continued with the ceremony.

“Do you both promise to love each other until your black hair turns white at the roots?”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

Neither of them actually had black hair, but no one pointed that out.

It was a metaphorical expression after all.

“Then, I hereby declare Kraud and Poseidon husband and wife!”

With Veichel’s energetic declaration, Kraud and Poseidon’s lips gradually came closer.

They shared a long, deep kiss.

Seeing this, Radios unconsciously squeezed Arsia’s hand tightly.

She looked at him and gave a faint smile.

It seemed that watching their wedding had finally helped Radios make up his mind.

[On such a joyous day, we can’t miss taking a photo! Everyone, get together~]

Namgung Ihyun, who had been waiting for this opportunity, emerged from Radios’s shadow with a camera.

There are no cameras in Kadinant.

But during the final battle, she had briefly been able to go to Earth.

And she had snatched a camera from there.

This was probably the only camera in existence in Kadinant.

Rather than giving it to scientists to dissect and analyze, Radios had said it would be better to use it fully before handing it over.

Taking photos would leave better memories than drawing portraits.

[Now I’m taking the picture! One, twoo~]

Click.

With the sound of the camera, the official schedule of the wedding was completed.

Radios and his group saw the couple off on their honeymoon journey.

“Where are you planning to go?”

“First, we’re thinking of going to Noslet. I need to see those goblins.”

“Father… do you really want to see those crazy guys?”

“I should see them at least once, shouldn’t I? Especially after you treated them so harshly. Hehehe.”

Brina hung her head at Kraud’s words.

To be honest, when Kraud was the chieftain, there were hardly any goblins who acted so recklessly.

That meant Kraud had controlled the goblins well.

So now it implied that Brina wasn’t fulfilling her role as chieftain properly.

She had planned to discipline them right after the wedding.

But since they were going to the Demonic Prison for their honeymoon, it felt awkward to enforce discipline.

“Don’t think too much about it. They were locked up in the Demonic Prison for years, so it’s understandable.”

“Father… they looked ready to kill someone if they had magic…”

“Ahem! Hmm!”

Brina had seen it.

In Kraud’s gaze as he watched the goblins causing trouble.

There was a depth of killing intent she had never seen before.

That was also why she had beaten them so severely.

If Kraud’s Divine Order had been intact, it would have been unspeakable even if the death deity’s power had flown there.

She was a bit reluctant about him going to the Demonic Prison.

But she had no right to stop him.

“Since I’m out, I’ll travel a bit before heading to the Demonic Prison. Have a good time.”

“Sure. See you later.”

Kraud and Poseidon exchanged final greetings with Radios’s group and boarded the carriage.

There were no soldiers escorting them, but the two wouldn’t be easily defeated.

Even without magic, as long as their fighting experience remained.

They wouldn’t be in danger in this peaceful world.

And as Radios saw them off until they disappeared beyond the horizon.

He finally made his decision.

The life-changing decision to marry Arsia.
