Chapter Index

    “Edric… Is it really okay to go into a place like this?”

    Mule looked at the dazzling building before him and hid behind Edric, saying,

    The Summerset Lands, in her eyes, a place confined to the outskirts of the continent and confined to a tribe because of the Black Dragon, was a place scarier to enter than the Black Dragon’s Lair.

    “Don’t worry. Of course, you weren’t invited, but Master will still welcome you.”

    Edric reassured her by pulling the mule with his left arm.

    “I should go to my disciple first, then everyone, see you inside.”

    “I guess I should say hello to my old friends too.”

    After Yustav and Harun finished speaking and disappeared, the only ones left in Edric’s group were the elven prince Garland, the dwarven warrior Noel, and the cat, Mul.

    “First, I’ll call someone at the entrance and see if they can enter, so please wait a moment.”

    Edric asked his companions to wait a moment and then headed to the entrance alone.

    ‘The empire has changed a lot, too.’

    While he had been wandering around the continent, he had only heard news about the Empire, but it had been a long time since he had seen it in person, so even Edric could not help but be impressed.

    If it were me, a party of elves, dwarves, and beastmen would have been a very striking combination.

    In front of Somerset Land, where Rupert’s wedding was being held, people of all races gathered, so it was not awkward at all.

    “Excuse me, could you show me the invitation?”

    “I don’t have an invitation, but could you please call the person in charge?”

    Guards guarding the entrance to Somerset Lands like an iron wall.

    They couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious of Edric’s statement that there was no invitation.

    ‘Your appearance is so shabby?’

    ‘But looking at his appearance, he seems like he comes from a noble family.’

    If things were as they were, they would have kicked them out right away, but for some reason the guards hesitated, feeling that they shouldn’t do that.

    “Who should I tell you?”

    “Hmm…Edric Just tell him that Edric is here.”

    Edric told the truth, thinking that it would be okay if he didn’t reveal his last name, even though he thought there would be an uproar if he revealed his name.

    however,

    “Sa… Third Prince?!”

    It was Edric’s mistake.

    The guards’ reaction became noisy as soon as their names were revealed.

    “Shhh!”

    “Go inside right now. The Duke told us to prepare in case the Third Prince comes.”

    “Master?”

    “Yes, I will guide you right away.”

    “Wait a minute, but I have colleagues here too. Can they come in with me?”

    “Are you talking about your colleague?”

    When Edric pointed his finger at the group waiting behind him in response to the guard’s question, the guard hesitated for a moment before answering that he understood.

    For him, the mere fact that the Third Prince, the subject of so many rumors, had arrived was so startling that he had difficulty paying attention to anything else.

    “Let’s go in.”

    “Oh, you were famous in your empire?”

    “That’s right. Judging by the skills of those hiding and watching here and there, it seems like a pretty important place, but it was passed so easily.”

    When Edric said that they had been granted entry, Garland and Noel commented as if they were amazed, but Edric waved his hands.

    Edric, who had not yet told his comrades that he was a prince of the empire, had been thinking that he should tell them for some time, but he had missed the timing and had difficulty saying it.

    “It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, big sister.”

    “It’s my sister’s wedding, so I guess so. But why do you have that expression?”

    “I might die.”

    “What? Even jokes are mean.”

    Even when Garland said that who could kill him after defeating the Black Dragon, Edric’s expression did not soften.

    Because I thought it was really dangerous.

    Edric hoped that Iolin hadn’t been practicing swordsmanship all this time.

    ***

    “Congratulations on your wedding, Xenia.”

    “Teacher!!! I really thought you weren’t coming!”

    “Haha, I can’t miss my disciple’s wedding.”

    As there were three brides, there were three bridal waiting rooms, and while Xenia was busy with her makeup and other preparations, Eustace visited and the waiting room became noisy.

    “You shouldn’t cry, won’t your makeup smudge?”

    “I don’t know… .”

    Xenia began to cry like a child in Yustav’s arms.

    Although her makeup was ruined and she had to redo it, Xenia was more grateful that Yustav came to her wedding.

    “Please come to the restaurant with me later, Master.”

    “Me?”

    “Then who would do that? Since you suddenly disappeared.”

    When the bride walks down the aisle, which can be said to be the highlight of the wedding, Iolin walks down the aisle with Leonius, while in Amelia’s case, the Duke of Bluewell walks down the aisle with her.

    Xenia, who had no one to fill that role, was originally supposed to be joined by Bradley, Rupert’s father.

    But now that Yustav, who was like a father to her, had returned, Xenia wanted to enter with him.

    “There is no one but you, Master. The one I can call father.”

    “Xenia… .”

    Xenia’s words reminded Yustav of the first time he had met her.

    A child who knew nothing about magic and used primitive magic with only his natural talent.

    But despite her talent, the environment in which she grew up could not be described as good, even in empty words.

    Things I learned from the past after Yustav brought her here.

    I was so angry that I went back there to scold Xenia’s uncle’s family.

    ‘It’s okay now. I’m going to be a hero.’

    Rather, it was Xenia who stopped Eustace.

    “You were my last disciple, and like a daughter to me.”

    -I’m proud of you.

    Yustav was really proud of Xenia for growing up so well without going astray even in difficult circumstances.

    ***

    “My brother-in-law is pitiful.”

    “What?”

    “Shouldn’t my sister eat the same food every day?”

    “Evelyn you!”

    “Why are you fighting on a nice day?”

    In another bridal waiting room, Amelia’s waiting room, her father, the Duke of Bluewell, and her younger sister Evelyn were present.

    “Sorry, unnie, it was a joke.”

    “I know. I’m the one who feels sorry for you… .”

    “He says sorry again. I’m better off instead?”

    Even after Evelyn’s answer, Amelia’s expression was still slightly dark.

    “I hope you don’t go down a path you don’t want to go down because of me.”

    Amelia, who is finally about to marry Rupert, the man she had always dreamed of, is worried about her younger sister Evelyn.

    Originally, she was supposed to succeed her father, the Duke of Bluewell.

    This was because, when she married Rupert and became a member of the Somerset family, her younger sister Evelyn had to take over the role.

    ‘I will inherit it.’

    In fact, the Duke did not want to burden his lovely youngest daughter with such a heavy burden, so he considered adopting a child from among his relatives.

    Evelyn declared that she would inherit the family.

    “I think I’ll bring one or three grooms like my brother-in-law later.”

    “That’s not okay, even if dirt gets in my eyes!”

    “Huh? Isn’t that what my dad said to my brother-in-law a long time ago?”

    “That’s….”

    At first, he was displeased that the Earl of Somerset, who had fallen from grace, had fallen in love with his second son.

    Now, he was acting as his strongest supporter more than anyone else.

    “Thank you, Father. Thank you, Evelyn.”

    Amelia was grateful to her family for deliberately creating a light atmosphere so that she could go at ease.

    ***

    “Did you come back on this day on purpose?”

    “That’s just how it happened.”

    “I guess I won’t have to worry about that useless little brother anymore.”

    The bridal waiting room where Iolin stays.

    It was a man who visited the place, and Iolin who immediately sent everyone else out and left the two of them alone as soon as she saw his face.

    “Did you get what you wanted?”

    “Now my work is done.”

    -The rest is just waiting.

    Eolin laughed in vain at Edric’s answer.

    ‘I have no intention of giving up.’

    It was Edric who told her what he was planning before leaving the palace.

    As for Iolin, he immediately tried to dissuade her because it seemed absurd, but he thought it was a miracle that his younger brother, who had rejected it and left, came back alive like this.

    It was even more surprising that they finally caught that ferocious black dragon.

    Of course, during that process, my lost right arm kept catching my eye.

    “Your brother was worried about you a lot.”

    “Your brother? I heard that you inherited the throne.”

    “He said he regretted not taking care of us as he got older. He worried that maybe it was because of him that you left the palace.”

    “You’ve changed a lot, hyung. Haha, of course not as much as you, noona. ”

    “That’s right, that’s right.”

    Iolin had never thought that she would want someone so desperately.

    If you think about it, after meeting Rupert, not only herself, but also her father, two older brothers, and her younger brother, Edric, had changed greatly.

    “I like my family better now.”

    “Me too.”

    dripping.

    “Your Highness, it is time to enter.”

    “Okay, I’ll get out now.”

    The siblings’ reunion was brief.

    Now it is time to enter the restaurant.

    ***

    “Congrats!”

    A loud roar echoes from the mouths of the knights standing on both sides of the Virgin Road.

    With him.

    Okay!

    As if one person had moved, the knights’ swords were pulled from their scabbards and shot into the air.

    “Soul!”

    visor!

    And as the blades aimed at the air came down little by little and clashed with each other, the mana flowing through the swords bloomed like a flower.

    The etiquette of the Imperial Knights, which can only be seen at royal weddings, was unfolding.

    Bang, bang, bang!

    At the same time, the sound of something exploding echoed and colorful fireworks began to appear in the sky.

    “Wow!!”

    Although weddings are usually held in a quiet manner, as these extravagant scenes continued, all the guests could not help but forget their manners and let out exclamations of admiration.

    and,

    “Petals are falling from the sky!”

    “How can this be in the middle of winter? It’s not snow, it’s flower petals!”

    Guests couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the pink cherry blossom petals starting to fall from the sky.

    The events prepared by the Imperial Palace, Matap, and Bluewell for this wedding each gave the guests great joy, making it impossible to tell which was better.

    Three women passing through a passage embroidered with swords by the Knights Templar.

    It was a scene like something out of a fairy tale, with fireworks continuously blooming and flower petals falling from the sky as if to bless them.

    So, where the three brides, the main characters of today, reached after passing through the virgin road, there was a man standing there.

    “Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.”

    A man speaking to the women standing in front of him.

    “Will you marry me?”

    It was Rupert who approached them and put the rings he had prepared in advance on each of their hands.

    Amelia got a ring with her blue sapphire in it.

    A ring with a white diamond for Iolin.

    Rupert put a ring with a red ruby on Xenia’s left ring finger, and then raised his head again and faced them.

    “I will make you happy.”

    Three women simultaneously hugging Rupert after he finishes speaking.

    “You really made me wait for too long!”

    “Still, the waiting was fun.”

    “I will never let you go from now on.”

    The guests who saw that sight gave them a warm cheer.

    “Don’t even think about sleeping today.”

    “That’s….”

    Xenia gives a subtle warning to Rupert amidst the shouts.

    “Wait a minute! The first night is for me… .”

    “Although I don’t want to put my status first, shouldn’t I be first?”

    “Let’s do it in order of our age. I’m the oldest among them… .”

    The sweet atmosphere was short-lived, however, as the three women, who were about to have an important event on their wedding night, began to argue, leaving Rupert at a loss as to what to do.

    “Okay… Let’s just wait a minute, it’s too early to talk about that… .”

    “Rupert! You tell me who is the first night?!”

    It was Iolin who pushed Rupert forward as if she had no intention of looking after him.

    “Then all three together?”

    “What?”

    “What did you say?”

    “What?”

    The women all responded to Rupert’s words at the same time, and soon, when they saw his fierce gaze, Rupert felt like running away.

    -Hehehe. You look happy.

    Rupert, who was in such a critical situation, was startled by a familiar voice in his head and looked around.

    “What’s going on?”

    Then, he discovers that everyone except himself is frozen as if time has stopped, and he panics and tries to figure out what’s going on.

    -Have you already forgotten my voice?

    “Goddess?”

    -It’s been a while.

    “I was surprised. Haa… It’s been a really long time.”

    -I feel like I see you every day because you always trip me up whenever something bad happens.

    “That’s just a habit… .”

    Rupert felt stung by the goddess’s scolding, so he answered her by pretending not to know anything.

    -Do you like this world?

    The question the goddess asks Rupert.

    When Rupert heard that question, he answered without any hesitation.

    “Actually, there’s something I didn’t want to admit to saying this.”

    After a brief pause, Rupert continued.

    “Thank you for sending me here. Thanks to you, I am having the happiest moment.”

    -Thanks to you, I was able to watch over my world happily. So, I hope your future will be filled with only happiness.

    As soon as the goddess finished speaking, time, which had stopped, began to flow again.

    “Does that mean you’re going to the sparring room after what you just said?”

    Rupert smiled as he was once again met with the murderous gazes of the three women who were squeezing him.

    This world is truly the best.
