2 years.

Two years is a long time if it is long, and a short time if it is short.

Personally, I didn’t think it was that long, but there were quite a few incidents that happened in between.

To list them one by one—

*

First, as I said last time, Adele and Diane got married.

Even after the two got married, they didn’t use the word ‘honey’. It was just Adele and Diane as usual. Even when they spoke, they still used polite language, so I didn’t think their relationship had changed much.

However, it was very nice to see that. Their love for each other was sincere, and their respect for each other was also sincere.

Should I say that it is like looking at a painting?

“If you two get married, please make sure to have us as witnesses.”

“Of course.”

Adele told us that, and Amelia readily accepted. There was no reason to refuse, because they were irreplaceable people to us.

Actually, it seemed like Amelia wanted to ask the two of them to be our bridesmaids.

Unlike the two people who literally had a ‘secret wedding’, of course we will not be officially married, but at least we had two years together.

There was also time to plan a little more and prepare clothes and other things.

There may be a few more attendees… … That’s something I’ll have to think about later.

Anyway, the two were truly a couple that looked like something out of a picture.

“Uh, where did I touch it!?”

It was like a painting in many ways.

Because their attitudes had not changed, Diane was still very excited about Adele. Of course, Adele did not pay any attention to her and touched various parts of Diane’s body. I even saw her hands go under her clothes a few times.

When the two of them were alone, Diane seemed to cling to Adele, but it was often the case that Diane avoided Adele when she tried to touch her embarrassing parts in front of others.

To be honest, I think I know why he’s chasing Adele Diane so much. That reaction was cute.

*

Second, I discovered that the scope of my abilities was much greater than I thought.

When I first plowed the field, I had to do really hard labor.

After hearing the news that we were experimenting with crops, the Tower of Magic dispatched someone, and the Grand Duke also sent someone, but it was not easy to learn one by one without any relevant knowledge.

Going to the area where the crops were planted, pouring my skills into each plant, checking and comparing to what extent the plants were growing was more difficult than I expected.

Still, I’m glad that I have a lot more energy than others.

“ Look! This is something that completely overturns the common sense that existed until now! The grains on the plant and the overall size of the plant cannot be compared to the original! Perhaps the animals and plants in the north are much larger than those in the south? Is the reason it is strong because there are many people with this lineage?”

… … That’s right.

Isabelle, who saw the crops I had grown, was so excited that she ran around shouting that.

And I even asked if maybe the ‘druid’ ability I have is not to live together, but to adapt.

So, I don’t know.

It is said that it is impossible to know whether living things are ‘forced’ to live together with nature, or whether this was the concept of living together in the past, as there is almost no remaining data on the giants. They were not the ones who used letters in the first place.

So, although I had no way of knowing, I just decided to live with gratitude, thinking that I had received my bloodline from my ancestors.

By growing not only the crops but also the surrounding animals, and trying to exterminate any pests, I was able to grow crops with great success in the second year.

So much so that no one who sees it can say anything.

*

Lastly, the information guild decided to remain near the royal capital because that alone was of great help.

The guild leader decided to send him to the Grand Duke and make him a good person to use, and he ended up calling Becky to our manor.

“… … .”

The fact that gloom seemed to pass through his eyes as he looked up at the mansion for a moment was probably not just due to his mood.

However, unlike at first, Becky calmly adapted. Still, after about a year, her expression brightened considerably.

“It’s okay to live a life without threats to your life.”

Her voice, which had become extremely stiff when she was next to Diane on the royal road, has become much softer since she has been here. Would you say it has reached a similar level to when we first met her?

“Plus, you get paid a lot. Vacations are guaranteed.”

Becky couldn’t bear to refute what Amelia added.

Still, she is as capable as Donjun. Which sword master in the world would say he would be a maid? Although they say he pays a lot of money, Becky is probably unique.

*

“… … So.”

The Grand Duke, who stopped by the manor after a long time, climbed to the highest point of the mansion and slowly opened his mouth as he looked at the wide wheat field.

“Your thoughts haven’t changed?”

“Yes, father.”

Amelia spoke to the Grand Duke slowly and in a soft voice.

“It is not simply a sense of debt, nor is it a mistake to mistake friendship for love. As a result of spending the past two years together, I have come to think that I love Elsie so much. Maybe it is because we confirmed our feelings for each other and stayed together.”

“… … .”

The Archduke said nothing for a while in response to Amelia’s words, which had become even more snarky over the past two years.

“Can you really not regret it?”

“Of course.”

Hearing Amelia’s unwavering words, the Grand Duke closed his eyes for a moment and then nodded.

“I understand. If that’s what you think.”

Then the Grand Duke slowly inhaled, exhaled, and opened his eyes to look at Amelia.

With a slight smile on his lips, the Archduke asked.

“When do you want to get married?”

*

This is what has happened over the past two years.

So, this is what happened.

The year we became adults, I was able to stand next to Amelia in a white dress like this.

I was wearing a tuxedo. It was a white tuxedo like Cia Amelia.

I and Amelia both agreed to me wearing masculine clothes like this.

Of course, in its own way, the design had feminine details. Rather than a man’s suit, I should say the dress was made more like pants. The lines of the clothes were delicately arranged, showing off my body in a supple manner.

Amelia’s dress was also a conservative design that reached up to her neck.

But the lace and white cloth covering the body were so beautiful that I had no complaints.

“Bride Amelia.”

Grandfather Fabreau has not yet corrected himself.

With a humane smile on her wrinkled face, she looked at Amelia, whom she had known for the past two years, with eyes as if she were looking at her granddaughter.

“ Likewise, will you cherish and love your bride, Elsie, forever? ”

“Yes, I will love you forever.”

My attention was caught by the sight of Amelia answering somewhat awkwardly while holding the bouquet with both hands.

“Bride, Elsie.”

“Yes.”

“Will you love and protect your bride, Amelia, forever?”

“Yes, of course. Forever.”

I smiled and answered.

“If there is anyone who is against this marriage, please stand up now and voice your opinion.”

No one did that.

There weren’t that many people in the small chapel. Amelia’s parents, my parents, Lord Carlins, and Ted and Sophie, who weren’t married yet. Of course, Adele and Diane also attended. They were dressed in light pink. ,To be our bridesmaid.

“Good.”

After confirming that no one was waking up, Grandpa Fabro spoke.

“Then, with this, we declare that we have become husband and wife.”

We turned and stood facing Ro.

Amelia took a step towards me.

The face looking up at me was bright.

It was beautiful.

Amelia’s eyes narrowed, and the corners of her mouth rose.

An expression that makes it impossible to hold back laughter.

It was a difficult sight for Amelia, who is usually good at controlling her facial expressions.

Well, I guess I have a similar expression.

I gently placed my hand on Amelia’s waist and pulled her towards me.

With one hand, I placed my hand on Amelia’s right cheek and turned her face toward me.

Like Amelia, I closed my eyes.

A soft, warm touch on my lips.

It was a feeling I wanted to just stop like this and feel forever.

side.

As the lips parted, a small sound was heard.

I slowly opened my eyes again and faced Amelia’s shining smile.

My heart beat like crazy when I thought that Lee Mi-so would now be with me for the rest of my life.

I just hoped that the thick makeup on my face would cover my burning cheeks.

“I love you.”

Amelia whispered.

“I love you too.”

As I said that, I thought.

Today is probably the happiest day of my life in all the years I can remember.
