The Legend of Return
Chapter 252. In Hong Kong (4)
“Clara…… You are so beautiful today~.”
“thank you. Julie.”
“It’s really amazing. To think that Clara, the symbol of innocence, got married first…”
“Have you seen the groom? so cool! If it wasn’t for Clara… I want to be a priest!”
“Did you say you were a French aristocrat?”
“Clara, I knew you could do something big.”
“Thank you…”
Clara smiled for her friends in a pure white dress.
These are university friends who came to Hong Kong to be bridesmaids.
Friends were very envious of Clara.
Anyone can see that he was a handsome groom.
“I heard the bank manager came too?”
“Not only that, but also said that almost all of the senior executives at the group headquarters came.”
“Oh my god…”
Colleagues who worked at the same bank whispered.
Surrounded by more than 10 female guests, Clara had the most splendid and beautiful time of her life.
But the smiling Clara was by no means a flower in full bloom.
Today, I will become someone’s wife.
The husband I met in France was a coveted groom.
He is tall, with soft blonde blue eyes and a caring smile.
As a student studying in the United States, sports were almost universal.
He was always kind towards Clara.
I’ve only held hands so far.
But Clara’s heart was not yet open to her husband.
Something was missing to feel love.
I kept thinking of my mother’s life.
A mother who lived in a strange land of Hong Kong, sacrificing for her family.
Clara would have to live like him in France.
“ha.”
A short sigh came out.
Married early compared to friends.
I couldn’t sleep a sigh last night, but today my skin glowed even whiter.
Her reflection in the mirror was beautiful even to Clara.
It reminded me of a cartoon where the main character is a princess who is dragged into a castle where a monster lives.
I never dreamed of a wedding like this when I was young.
I dreamed of a future in the arms of the man I love, watching the sunset together.
‘Daniel… bye bye.’
The time for the ceremony was getting closer.
The two families compromised place and manner.
They get married in Hong Kong, but the ceremony is held by a priest sent directly from the Vatican.
Clara was infinitely saddened by the reality that even the marriage method was traded.
If it was true love, it didn’t matter if there was no one in the country church.
But now it’s all a dream.
Clara turned her head from the mirror and looked at the window of the waiting room.
“ah!”
He groaned and jumped up from his seat.
“What’s wrong with Clara?”
“what’s the matter?”
crash.
I opened the door to the waiting room without stopping even after hearing my friends calling.
“…..Daniel?”
He looked like a fantasy.
The person who showed a sad smile in the rain.
But it was an illusion.
He couldn’t have appeared here.
“Clara?”
Then a man approaches the open waiting room door.
“Louis…”
“Why? What’s going on?”
The man who asks affectionately is her prospective husband Louis.
The dark blue eyes toward Clara contained worry.
“Oh no.”
“Are you tired? Cheer up though. Everything will be fine after today.”
Louise’s sweet voice was as sweet as that of a poet reciting poetry.
“oh! Really handsome.”
“It’s perfect…… It’s my ideal type.”
Clara’s friends spit out voices of envy.
However, Clara’s face hardened.
“Haah ……”
I only took a long sigh.
It was a marriage of their own choosing.
Now is the time to let go of clumsy feelings.
Clara formatted the past love in her head.
Then, he gently reached out and took Louis’s hand.
Louis was the only man in the world who would protect her now.

“Daniel? Why aren’t you answering the phone?”
Vivian muttered as she picked up her phone.
I promised to come, but Daniel did not show up at the wedding.
It was only today that currency restrictions were lifted.
Dad seemed to be in a good mood.
Clara’s sister was a calm and cultured daughter of a family.
Dad was very satisfied with Clara’s older sister, who was perfectly familiar with the etiquette of aristocrats through her mother.
My brother was also absorbed in the beauty and atmosphere of the new bride.
It was perfect for the hostess of an empty castle.
I wanted to introduce her to Daniel.
I even talked to my dad about it.
I also told my brother.
Naturally, Vivian wanted to be allowed to officially date through a wedding ceremony.
According to what I found out, Daniel was a considerable investor.
Even my dad was interested.
But he didn’t show up.
“What are you looking for?”
Then Edouard approached.
“Daniel… didn’t come.”
Vivian’s voice was wet.
Only Edouard saw the true face of Daniel.
That’s why I helped Vivian.
“yes? Are you Daniel? Aren’t you here?”
Edouard tilted his head.
“why? saw?”
Vivian’s eyes sparkled.
“I was here a while ago. I went to see the lady.”
“really? But…”
Vivian looked around.
The small church was full of people.
It was impossible to find.
Vivian’s expression quickly darkened.
“I will look for it.”
“please. Edouard.”
“Wait.”
Edouard lowered his head and disappeared into the crowd.
“Daniel… is something wrong?”
Vivian’s heart trembled at the ominous feeling.
Ding! Ding!
The mass bell announcing the wedding rang.
And the wedding of the century that began.
Vivian moved into the ceremony hall with steady steps.
All I could think of was worrying about Daniel.
***
To-du-du-du-du-doo.
Raindrops hit the floor and splashed.
I walked towards the bridal waiting room where she was.
And saw.
Clara, a pure white bride who is most honorable.
A poem that had been stored in my memory came to mind.
“You are like a single flower… so cute, pretty and lovable. When I look at you, sadness seeps into my heart…”
Heine’s poem ‘You are like a single flower’.
The chaste lily-like Clara seen through the bridal waiting room did not disappear from her mind.
Clara, who was smiling at her friends, was more beautiful than ever.
step by step.
I walked through the streets of Hong Kong in the rain.
The cold raindrops were not enough to cool his burning heart.
The suit was soaked.
“Parting is letting go because of lack of love… love…”
If he had truly loved Clara, he would have run away holding her hand.
But it didn’t.
It was her and my choice.
It was confirmed one last time that both of them did not love each other like their lives.
The story line was similar to that of the movie < Ceiling Earth >.
It was clear that Li Zhangqiang’s family was great.
On the other hand, my existence revealed on the outside was insignificant.
In the atmosphere of the wedding, I read the Clara family’s connection to Vivian’s family.
I also saw Clara’s husband.
The view was fine too.
The man’s steps were light as he headed towards the waiting room where Clara was.
I really liked the bride.
Finally…
I saw Clara reaching out and holding the hand of the prospective groom.
It wasn’t that heaven didn’t allow love.
Because humans are calculating, they blamed the sky.
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
The raindrops got stronger.
It feels like the hot blood is cooling.
Tears no longer flowed.
I thought the farewell ceremony was really terrible.
It was a relationship that I could never have imagined in my life before returning.
A bond with Clara that must have been intertwined several times in past lives.
It didn’t seem like this life.
I didn’t want to blame anyone.
The relationship ended here.
“It comes to the point of damnation.”
As I walked through the rainy streets of Hong Kong, where I didn’t even know the road, my hardened heart slowly loosened.
The shock of seeing Clara slowly began to fade into memories of the past.
By now, Clara should be holding the hand of a new person and making a firm oath in front of God.
“Live well… and be happy.”
It reminded me of the scene where Deokhwa Yoo left on a motorcycle.
He would have been too.
However, Deokhwa and I were different.
He ran toward death, but I moved toward the future.
After today, the sun rises again tomorrow.
There was pain for a while, but there was no hesitation.
The unexpected encounter stung his heart painfully, but it was okay.
This, too, was a part of a passing life.
If you were a 20-year-old youth, it would be a hard pain to handle, but I was a youth who lived in my thirties of despair.
“It’s a shame I have a friend to drink with…”
Hong Kong, a city of strangers.
They were people who didn’t even know they were looking around.
And there was no one around.
As I walked, I entered an alleyway that was sparsely populated.
“……”
The cold energy felt in the moment.
The unpleasant feeling that came from all sides was to live.
That, too, amplified in an instant enough to tear the atmosphere to shreds.
it’s a master
The steps naturally stopped.
Li Zhangqiang’s cold eyes as he looked at me suddenly came to my mind.
This is his territory, Hong Kong.
It seems that Li Zhangqiang clearly misunderstood something.
Swoop.
In between the alleys, men appeared in various attire.
The blue-bladed sashimi-grade dagger in my hand aimed at me.
“what? Isn’t that too much for a welcome greeting on a rainy day?”
took a stance
He took off his cumbersome suit jacket and held it in his hand.
When I opened the subspace, there were weapons that tasted good, but I didn’t pull them out.
Today is her wedding day.
It was raining, but I didn’t want to see blood.
“You… have come to a place you shouldn’t have come.”
The number is exactly seven.
The person in the lead spoke in Chinese.
The guys naturally completed the siege.
It was natural, as if it hadn’t been done once or twice.
The sharpness of the dagger in his hand increased.
They were guys who used their inner power.
“Go and tell Li Zhangchang. I just came here by accident.”
The last courtesy to Clara’s father.
“…..He wants your neck.”
The gesture of conciliation was not accepted.
One conclusion.
A dangerous beast’s smile spreads across his lips.
“Then stop it… I will destroy everything!”
