“I decided to get married.”
Clink!
Clink!
The sound of dishes falling was very loud.
“…Who said that they were getting married?! who!”
who is who
i said now
I didn’t intend to make an announcement with my family together, but just in time for the New Year’s banquet to be held in the imperial castle, most of them happened to be back at their parents’ house.
Unexpectedly, it was Kalan Etam who made the noise. Of course, Cillian Etham and Charnett also had disbelief eyes.
“Are you going to get married…?”
Charnett’s voice seemed to be full, but her eyes were red with tears.
“Suddenly…?”
“Uh sister…?”
“You’ve never said anything like that before… what kind of bastard… I thought you were blocking it well…”
Charnett said, biting her nails. Charnett’s expression quickly turned to tears.
What did you block?
“Marriage…”
When I looked up, Uncle Cruneau said, “You…?” was looking at me with that expression.
‘That’s a bit pissed off.’
what about me
As I crossed my arms and stared at him, Uncle Cruneau quickly turned his head away and avoided his gaze. When I turned my head slightly
,
the father I already knew didn’t move much
.
“Such a mistake. You put too much strength in your hands.”
If you make a mistake twice, I will fold the human body in half. I gulped and rolled my eyes.
“congratulations. What kind of person are you?”
Aunt Acrea finally gave me a normal reaction. She narrowed her brows as her eyes twinkled in delight.
“why? Can I tell the crown prince?”
“No, it’s just a high priest.”
“…what?”
“The High Priestess….”
“…The High Priestess couldn’t get married?”
Aunt Acrea looked around with trembling eyes.
“Is that so?”
I didn’t say anything like that when I confessed. I looked back at my father with trembling eyes.
Dad never said anything like that.
“You must have an idea. Stop running around and sit down.”
Dad responded lightly and said to Callan and Silian.
“But did your father approve of marriage?”
“okay.”
“why! You’re still young…!”
No, I’m not that young.
Callan, who was pursed lips, looked at me quietly and sat down slowly. The grumpy face was still there.
After everyone congratulated each other, the audience became solemn.
“Since it’s our family head’s wedding, it should be pretty grand.”
Aunt Nelia smiled lightly and tried to change the mood.
I smiled quietly and nodded.
“thank you.”
“I know, I know, but it’s too sudden…”
said Callan Etam, rubbing my hair.
“congratulations! I want you to be happy for the rest of your life.”
“Yeah thanks.”
As I smiled broadly, Kalan Etham rubbed my face roughly with the back of her hand, blushing.
“I am the same as my brother. I want Eirin to be happier than anyone else in the world. You must have decided after much thought.”
At Silian Etam’s words, the corners of his mouth trembled spontaneously, and he drew a round arc.
“Yeah thanks. Brother.”
“Airiin… can I go out often…?”
“Yes? I will continue to live here.”
“really?”
“Yes, it is said that it is a high priest, but it does not have a specific title… It is not that I can enter the temple and live.”
At my words, Sharnet hugged me tightly with a teary expression. When I hugged her face, she laughed awkwardly.
“All right then. Congratulations Erin.”
“Yeah thanks.”
I still can’t believe that marriage is such a celebration.
“Eirin.”
“Your father.”
“If you want, you can leave him and come back anytime.”
Dad’s big hand lightly brushed my cheek. I nodded coldly in my father’s arms.
Holding back the feeling of bursting into tears, I tried to laugh.
Everyone was kind and warm, so it was still a dream-like reality.
“Everyone likes it.”
My words widened the eyes of those at the table.
If it weren’t for the people who had been watching my weeping face come and rub my cheeks here and there… It
was quite a hearty meal time.

“There was something called – what happened?”
“Aha, I will do it until this year and beat it. instead.”
Lucillion smiled and replied.
“I think it would be better to get married in the spring of next year. How about this? Eirin.”
“I don’t care…”
“Let’s rent the palace banquet hall and make it grand. Let everyone remember Eirin.”
“Hmm, that would be nice too…”
Quaang-!
The tea table shook greatly. When I turned my head, there was Enosh who had a lot of goals.
“Do you treat people as if they don’t exist in front of you?”
“No, I’m here to report…”
“Who said that the Hwangseong banquet hall was rented out?”
“Wouldn’t you lend me…?”
Lucillion asked, drooping the corners of her eyes. Enosh pointed his finger at Lucillion.
“Hyung. Ah…”
“Tongue tongue hyung… Nu who hyung… Aaaaagh!”
At Lucillion’s remorseful words, Enosh threw down her chest and ran around the drawing room screaming.
“Brother?”
“I’ll lend it to you, so please stop!”
“all right.”
As if Lucillion had never done that, he wiped his mouth and smiled at me.
“Really…”
“Isn’t it you who told me to respect you every time?”
“When did I get this kind of respect…!”
Enosh gritted his teeth and lowered his face.
“It’s okay. By the way, when did you get married? Now you do. It’s too late for you to confess.”
“…Did you know? Lucillion me…”
“I knew.”
“Since when?!”
“It’s been quite a while. Was it when I started getting sick after being kidnapped? Why did he fix me so many times?”
Enosh nodded and pointed at Lucillion with his chin.
“I asked why you were helping me then, and I said it was because I didn’t want to see your sad face.”
“…ah.”
it’s been that long?
When I looked at Lucillion with a white face, Lucillion folded his eyes into a half moon.
“Why do people feel that way? It’s because he’s good.”
Enosh’s words made her face redden. I didn’t know it was that old.
“It’s fine though. we’ll get married too next spring.”
“Next spring, we will…”
“You know what? According to imperial law, marriage is prohibited for one year after the marriage of the royal family.”
“…”
Lucillion’s eyes burned brightly at Enosh’s grinning face.
‘I don’t think there’s anyone other than Enosh who makes Lucy so emotional…’
In that sense, I wondered if they were surprisingly close.
“We will do it in the spring, so let’s do it in the summer. Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
“I can’t do that. I promised you it would be spring, with Lily.”
When I glanced at Lillian, she was smiling quietly. It seemed that she had no intention of conceding either.
“Let’s go to another country, Eirin.”
“Ah, you two can’t leave the empire until a year after my marriage ends. I will block it.”
Lucillion’s eyes became pale and glared at Enosh. I slightly pulled the hem of Lucillion’s clothes.
“Lucy, it’s okay for us to do it later.”
“Eirin…”
Lucillion called my name in a small voice.
“Well, congratulations on your marriage. And after the marriage, there will be a succession ceremony.”
Enosh said with a slightly flushed face. The fact that there was a succession ceremony meant that he would soon become emperor.
“really? Congratulations to the world.”
“I just received what I was supposed to receive.”
“Ah, I heard that the position of the owner of the Mage Tower will change soon.”
I opened my eyes wide at Lillian’s words.
‘I see, Richard…’
I should go back and write a letter to Richard.
“Congratulations on your marriage, Eirin.”
“Yes, my sister too.”
“It must be hard for you to live with that too, Dough. Obsession is no joke.”
“Is the prince something to say?”
Lillian Daisy asked with a smile. Enosh shook her shoulders and slightly turned her head.
It seems that the two of us had a lot of things.
“I have to go to work soon. You can go later.”
“Yes then.”
“…don’t do anything weird in someone else’s drawing room.”
“I’ll go too, Eirin.”
The two greeted each other and left the parlor.
“So why aren’t we going?”
“I just want to stay like this.”
Lucillion joined hands and said. It felt strange to hold hands under the beating sunlight.
“It’s good.”
“huh.”
“Eirin.”
“huh.”
“Thanks to Eirin, I was able to live like a human. Otherwise, I would have lived alone all my life.”
Lucillion’s palm gently wrapped around my cheek.
“Since you saved me, I will use the rest of my life to save you.”
“…Lucy.”
“I want Eirin not to be lonely. So that it does not fall apart for a long time to live. lest you become lonely.”
Lucillion’s face came closer.
“Thank you for choosing me.”
“Me too…”
I said, grabbing Lucillion by the collar and pulling him toward me.
“thank you.”
I slammed my lips into him, then fell off. My heart thumped.
Lucillion’s eyes widened a bit, then quickly rolled around and lightly pulled my arm.
“What if you provoke me like this and run away, Eirin?”
Lucillion hugged me and lay down on the sofa.
As I blushed as I sat on his leg, he pulled my upper body.
“It’s Eirin’s fault.”
Lucillion’s smiling face seemed excited.
He grabbed me by the back of my head and pulled me into my mouth.
The sensation of opening her tightly closed lips and entering her mouth was unfamiliar.
The world turned white.
It was the same color as Lucillion.
I really really really love this! I hope there will be a complete manhwa story of this soon.
