Chapter 27 of the side story. That’s how the two became a couple
2022.11.15.
‘I can’t remember.’
Of course, Esteban remembered clearly. I’ve never forgotten anything related to Mabel.
Around the age of five, Mabel. Mabel once entered Esteban’s bedroom.
At the time, Esteban, who was sleeping with hallucinogen, did not recognize Mabel for a moment and stopped hurting him.
Right after that, he begged Mabel for forgiveness and offered to grant him two wishes for his mistake.
One of the two wishes was immediately used to lift the ban on boys, and the other wish was kept unwritten until now.
The wish sphere in front of her was one of her wishes.
[Wish ticket. Esteban Nice Ermano grants Mabel Gardenia Ermano any wish once.] The
two people’s handprints stamped beneath it showed how tough Mabel was.
He said he would not believe in verbal contracts, and went to get a stamp a few days after the incident.
Esteban burst out laughing at the existence of the realm of wish buried in the other side of his memory.
I hadn’t even thought about wishing well. That I am going to use this now.
‘Shall I pretend not to know?’
no. I gave up trying to pretend I didn’t remember. The opponent was Mabel. It will surely be a meaningless fight.
Moreover, since Esteban’s sin was great, he had to pay the price the opponent wanted. Even if it was a promise made 15 years ago.
“I’ll use the wish ticket, so you’re asking me to give you permission to marry?”
I didn’t want to do that, but Esteban had no right to refuse. If Mabel wanted it, he had no choice but to allow it.
Needless to say, it’s a wish right now.
‘Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to bring the wish ticket.’
Esteban smiled bitterly, thinking that it was an empty question with an obvious answer.
Mabel stared at the Sowonwon.
“huh. I was going to do that…”
Is it a waste to write it? Esteban guessed so and reached out to pick up the wish ticket.
But Mabel’s hands were faster than that.
“it’s okay.”
Took. Mabel put the wish ticket aside. As Esteban looked at his daughter as if seeking an explanation, Mabel made a sullen expression.
“…I don’t want to force Dad to come over something like this.”
Are you serious? Looking at Esteban, who was shocked inside, Mabel said.
“If you don’t want to come to the wedding, you don’t have to come, Dad. You don’t have to force yourself to come.”
“…Are you serious?”
“huh.”
Mabel’s words were quite surprising, so Esteban put on a dazed expression involuntarily.
Does that mean you really don’t have to come?
Why? It was herself who protested as if she would not go, but her heart felt tight as if she had been rejected by Mabel.
There was no way to explain this contradictory feeling.
If he is swept away without a backbone, aren’t his emotions no different from a buoy? Not properly nailed down and drifting in the open sea…
‘I don’t know my own mind either.’
When Esteban was confused, Mabel calmly stared at her father.
“But I really want Dad to come.”
“what?”
“Because a wedding that Dad attended would be happier.”
Saying that, Mabel smiled mischievously.
For a moment, Esteban was at a loss for words.
It is a foul.
In Esteban’s eyes, she was still an infinitely small and young daughter.
This child knew all too well what to say to shake him.
‘Ever since Mabel was born, I’ve done countless things that aren’t like me.’
Are we going to make an exception this time around?
Realizing that fact again made me feel like my heart was numb.
Mabel approached the agitated Esteban.
“dad. No matter what, you should eat well. got it?”
Mabel gave Dad a tight hug. Esteban just stayed still because it was absurd to hug his father just to comfort him on such a trivial subject.
Esteban sat there until Mabel left the bedroom.
‘She’s like a daughter who is kind to the end and has a deep heart.’
In the dark of the bedroom, Esteban picked up the wish ticket that Mabel had left on the table.
One more treasure has been added.
“Bad guy.”
Even as he said that, Esteban carefully placed the wish ticket in a drawer.
In fact, Mabel would have known. that there was no chance that Esteban would not attend the wedding.
Still, that was probably what he had intended to find Esteban.
‘It must have been to lighten the burden on my heart.’
***
The emperor’s wedding was held in the outdoor hall of the Imperial Palace.
The wedding was held in a splendid and grand manner, with the emperor’s nanny, Count Lupe Alielli, in charge of overall preparations and leading the charge.
The large hall gradually began to fill with guests. Those who entered opened their eyes wide at the splendid scenery of the wedding hall.
“It’s much more colorful than expected.”
“I’m looking forward to what kind of wedding it will be.”
The outdoor hall decorated with the nature of Ermano in the background was decorated with fresh flowers.
Thanks to the preservation magic cast on each flower, it became alive without a single flower dying. All of this was accomplished by wizard Casey over several days and nights.
At the end of the road, an arch decorated with flowers awaited, over which a translucent fabric fluttered.
In addition, there were magic tools installed in various places to record the national spirit.
It was a wedding hall that showed meticulous attention to the types of flowers and the arrangement of the guest chairs.
Before long, one or two familiar faces appeared in the hall.
The first time I entered was…
“Even if that’s not the case, why don’t you stop crouching and take a seat?”
“…noisy.”
“Even if you die, the fact that your precious granddaughter is getting married doesn’t change.”
“You know this damn old woman.”
“Even if you’re worried, it’s a mess. old grandpa.”
“What?”
It was the Marquis of Gardenia who was clinging to his miserable feelings and Mrs. Deverill who was having fun teasing him.
Those who had entered beforehand for the appearance of the giants rolled their eyes as if they had made an appointment.
The two confirmed their seats and wrinkled their faces as if they had promised.
“Don’t stick.”
“Who will say.”
Because there were two seats attached. They sat side by side, slandering each other, waiting for the wedding to begin.
“You look better than I thought, Oscar.”
At Enrique’s question, Oscar smiled and shrugged. It was because he remembered the contract he had kept in a drawer.
“It’s not like you can stop marriage, so can you tell me?”
It must have been a good feeling since he won a fraudulent contract against Mabel.
Enrique smiled lightly and nodded. Oscar glanced at Enrique and didn’t ask anything.
Because I knew better than anyone else the heart of a friend trying to calm down with a smile.
Emily and Lois’ lovers also entered and sat down side by side. Emily had a hard time calming Lois, who was shivering at the big official event.
“Calm down Lois.”
“Ha, but I’m so nervous in a place with a lot of people like this…”
“Are you that nervous?”
“yes yes.”
“More than when you first kissed me?”
At that question, Lois’ face turned redder than blush. On the contrary, seeing Lois getting hotter, Emily let out a deep sigh.
Suk-maek fiancee still had a long way to go.
Duke Donovan quietly entered and sat down. Lisandro, who had arrived earlier, smiled gladly and pretended to know.
“sister!”
“Noisy Rit.”
“what. I’m picky today Do you actually not like this marriage?”
“Be quiet.”
“Eh. His chastity.”
Gradually, the entrance of the guests was coming to an end. Of course, guests from abroad also filled the seats. Among them were guests from Abelardo, Michael and Renesmee.
[As expected, this person is the most pleasant.]
For some reason, the sheep who likes Michael’s divine power was quietly held in his arms. Yang was a dedicated air purifier.
Renesmee asked Michael quietly.
“Do you have time to give Dylan’s letter to His Majesty?”
“Are you having a hard day today?”
Michael replied cynically. Surely the obsessive god won’t let go of the emperor.
After all, the first night of a wedding is like that.
“It’s bigger…”
Casey, exhausted from making magic tools and using magic all night, stretched out in the corner.
In addition, there was a separate part that differentiated the emperor’s wedding from other weddings.
[There’s a lot of delicious food behind it.]
[Congratulations!]
[Where is Mabel? Let’s run!]
All kinds of animals living in the Ermano Imperial Castle flocked to see the wedding.
From birds to mice, rabbits, deer and even tigers, they were Mabel’s precious friends in the northern forest.
It was truly spectacular to see the animals circling around the hall.
The last guests to enter were Esteban and Gustav. Esteban took a look at the wedding hall and sat in the front row with an expressionless face.
‘I can’t believe His Majesty is attending.’
Several people whom Esteban did not expect to attend opened their eyes wide in surprise.
With all the guests seated, the main character of the wedding finally appeared.
“…wow!”
Cheers broke out.
Seeing Mabel walking through the guests holding Aidan’s hand, Esteban saw a moment in the past.
‘Siana.’
Mabel was wearing the same dress that Sianna wore at her wedding to Esteban.
‘If I hadn’t come, I would have regretted it until the day I died.’
Almost missing the sight of Mabel in his wife’s dress.
Of course, the video magic tool recorded all the scenes, but it was still not as good as seeing it in person.
Mabel smiled brightly, wearing her mother’s dress and a veil adorned with flowers. The appearance of the bride, who was more splendid than flowers, was dazzling.
Next to him was Grand Duke Aidan Aserad, dressed in a brightly colored formal dress that was hard to see.
Likewise, people laughed heartily at his dazzling appearance.
Aren’t they a really good pair?
They become a couple as of today.
The officiant was Clement, one of the 12 elders of the Holy Kingdom of Abelardo.
Originally, Michael Abelardo should have been in charge, but he refused Count Lupe’s proposal like a knife, saying ‘I don’t want to die’.
That’s how Clement took over the officiating ceremony.
Clement’s officiating ceremony followed.
In the part where he spoke the word of God in a lithe voice, Mabel giggled and glanced at Aidan.
It is a sight that cannot be seen even if money is paid for a god who is quietly listening to God’s words.
Seeing Mabel, Aidan secretly squeezed Mabel’s finger and let it go.
‘Why is that?’
Aidan asked with a smile, and Mabel answered with a smile.
‘just.’
As they exchanged glances with each other, the officiating ceremony came to an end before they knew it.
Clement looked back and forth between the bride and groom with a benevolent smile.
“Do you swear to love each other?”
Mabel answered without hesitation.
“I swear.”
However, Aidan’s answer was still. Clement’s gaze shifted to Aidan, but his gaze was focused exclusively on Mabel.
Oaths made to humans were meaningless. Because his oath was Mabel’s only.
In the place where everyone was seated, Aidan made an oath of eternity.
“I will dedicate my eternity to you. Even if this life ends and the next life continues, and even if that life ends and a new life continues. I will love only you forever.”
Those who knew Aidan’s identity were frightened by his intense love, and those who did not know him blushed, saying that he was romantic.
With the oath of love over, there was only one procedure left. A kiss of oath.
But isn’t Clement finishing the wedding awkwardly, glancing somewhere in the guest seat?
“Then, I will congratulate the two of you on your future and let the holy wedding ceremony come to an end.”
It couldn’t have ended like this. Because there was definitely a wedding ceremony.
Aidan immediately looked for Lupe and checked her bewildered expression. Aidan narrowed his eyes as he turned his head again to see Esteban’s face.
‘Is it revenge?’
Aidan could easily notice. That the damn situation made a mess with the wedding.
‘That’s mean.’
Go ahead and look at that man smiling triumphantly.
Of course, it wasn’t just Aidan who was suffering.
“Mabel.”
“huh.”
“Can I kiss you?”
To that question, Mabel asked back as if she was puzzled.
“Do you need permission?”
Aidan laughed and lowered his head.
no.
Aidan kissed Mabel without hesitation.
“Hey…”
“Kyaa!”
Cheers, screams and screams erupted from the guest seats. Aidan kissed Mabel deeply and tugged at Mabel’s waist.
“Aidan Aserad!”
Udangtang!
Esteban, full of rage, kicked out of the guest seat and stood up, and a spectacle ensued in which Gustav, the aide, and Lisandro Donovan, the knight, held on to each other.
“I’m on a national wedding, Your Majesty!”
“Be patient!”
People could neither cry nor laugh at the skit unfolding before their eyes.
Mabel laughed awkwardly at the sledgehammer behind Aidan’s back.
“From now on, Dad will harass you a little bit.”
“…I’ll try my best.”
She looked up at her husband, who didn’t say he wouldn’t bother to the end.
‘husband.’
Again, the words came close to me. Mabel lifted her tiptoe and pulled down Aidan’s neck.
Their lips met once more.
“Congratulations on becoming the national secretary, Aidan.”
“I am honored to be your husband.”
So the two became a couple.
***
Today I have a new family member.
It’s not an ordinary existence, but it’s a daily life only to me. Immortal, but promised eternity.
My family, Aidan, called me.
“Mabel.”
“huh?”
“I think I know what happiness is.”
“What?”
Aidan reached out to me.
“All these moments with you.”
I smiled and held Aidan’s hand. The entangled hands were just warm.
end of a long journey.
God, who wanted death, gained life, and I, who had given up on not needing anything, gained precious people.
There were many things I hadn’t experienced since I was still immature, but I wasn’t afraid anymore.
Because I know I can get through anything.
“Then I will be happy forever. yes?”
“yes.”
Aidan’s hands cupped my cheeks. I leaned my face against them and closed my eyes.
If every moment is happiness, as long as we are together, we will be happy for a long time.
Always.
