As Baello’s permission for the marriage was granted, Lorencia spent exciting days preparing for her wedding with him. Everyone blessed the marriage of the child of goddess Ella, who had defeated the white snake, to the hero Teishar. Congratulatory gifts poured in from many places.

Lorencia kept the promise she made when Teishar proposed. She received several snow-white wedding dresses adorned with flowers and frills as gifts. It wasn’t just the wedding dresses.

Various sets of jewelry to match the dresses also arrived.

“It seems my little sister’s marriage is too soon.”

Leanid suggested to Baello that getting married a year after the engagement was too fast.

So he suggested to his younger brothers that they hold a countermeasure meeting to postpone Lorencia’s marriage, but,

Mark strangely followed Teishar after the white snake war.

It was a natural story for Teslon, but he wasn’t convinced.

Abrelina and Welson also did not oppose the marriage of the two. Rather, they only nagged Leanid to get married quickly.

“Leanid elder brother, do you dislike Ter?”

“It’s not that I dislike Viscount Teishar. Lorencia.”

“Then?”

“I just wished for you to stay and spend more time at the duke’s residence. I’m just disappointed that you’re getting married after only a year of engagement.”

Leanid said while stroking Lorencia’s hair. It’s not that he opposes because he dislikes Teishar. He’s just feeling regretful and bitter at the thought of Lorencia leaving the duke’s residence, making him act out of spite.

“It’s absolutely not that I want you to postpone the marriage because I dislike him.”

“I’ll come to the duke’s residence often. Elder brother.”

“I’ll also go to the viscount’s residence often. Lorencia.”

Leanid also knew. That Teishar truly loved and cherished Lorencia.

“Just in case, Lorencia.”

“Yes. Elder brother.”

“If you ever want to divorce him, you must return to the Di Gloston Duchy at any time. Don’t assume that such a thing will never happen. Because no one can predict the future in life.”

Lorencia nodded at the words that the future cannot be predicted.

“You’re right. The future is unpredictable. If Ter upsets me, I’ll definitely return to the Di Gloston Duchy, as Leanid elder brother said.”

“Yes. You can even get divorced and live the rest of your life indulging in luxury with the duchy’s money.”

“That’s reassuring.”

Lorencia smiled and personally poured tea into Leanid’s cup.

Preparations for the wedding began, leaving them busy without a moment to spare.

Lorencia visited the Spencer residence every day.

Instead of the viscountess, Evan Spencer taught her the mindset of the Spencer family, the family tree she had to memorize, and various knowledge. Evan said she could slowly memorize it after getting married and there was no need to overdo it.

They also had to select the guests who would attend the wedding and decide how to arrange the seats of the invited guests. But the Spencer family prepared everything without fail.

What takes time is the bride’s wedding dress.

It takes at least three months just to request dress designs from several designers, decide on a dress design she likes, and then prepare the jewels, embroidery, etc. to make that wedding dress.

The design Lorencia wanted was a snow-white wedding dress with lots of flowers and frills.

As soon as she accepted his proposal, Teishar commissioned various designers and showed Lorencia several wedding dress designs. Among them, he had been preparing the wedding dress she liked since the time of their engagement.

So as soon as Baello’s permission for the marriage was granted, he was able to give her the prepared wedding dress as a gift.

“The wedding is in a month. Don’t aristocratic weddings usually take about a year? Even though you became a viscount, you must have been busy with official duties…”

“It’s because I wanted to get married quickly.”

Teishar smiled and wrapped his arm around Lorencia’s waist.

Lorencia’s face turned red as she rolled her eyes, and the corners of Teishar’s mouth rose endlessly.

His heart raced and fluttered. Would there ever be a better moment than now?

‘The pink tongue slightly visible between her lips is so cute.’

When she closed her mouth tightly, the pink tongue that was visible disappeared, making him feel regretful.

‘I wish I could kiss her violet eyes.’

The emotions that kept flowing out without stopping didn’t cease. Teishar’s arms wrapped around her gradually tightened.

“I really don’t want to be apart from Loa today.”

Teishar buried his face in Lorencia’s neck and took a deep breath.

“Me too.”

Lorencia slightly turned her head and whispered in his ear.

“Then…”

At her breath, Teishar let out a groan. The two silently held each other tightly.

“Loa.”

Teishar lifted his buried face and looked down at Lorencia with a longing gaze.

Buried in his arms, she looked up at him with a smile on her lips.

Their gazes met and the two didn’t move. The one who moved first was Teishar. His head slowly lowered. Matching him, Lorencia’s eyes closed. Teishar’s large hand dug into her red hair. With a jolt, Lorencia gripped his collar.

That was the signal.

Their lips carefully touched. Teishar’s arm around her waist tightened more than before, and their bodies pressed close. Their hot breaths mixed together. She couldn’t tell if it was her body or lips that were hot, to the point her brain melted.

“Haa. This is driving me crazy.”

His large hand slid down her waist, gradually going up to caress her shoulder blades, then pulled on the dress strap hanging on her shoulder.

“Why are you tempting me like this?”

“Temptation? Ter, you’re the one tempting me.”

“You saw correctly.”

“What?”

“I am indeed tempting Loa right now.”

Teishar unbuttoned one of his shirt buttons.

“Will you be tempted by me?”

As he unbuttoned all the buttons one by one, Teishar’s broad chest was revealed. Lorencia’s face turned even redder at the sight of his firm muscles.

“Time’s up.”

“What? Ah, that.”

The dress completely slid down. Under his heated gaze, Lorencia tightly closed her eyes.

Teishar laid Lorencia, with her eyes closed, down on the sofa behind her. The plush sofa touched her back. Teishar pressed his body close like a beast pouncing on a small animal from above.

“Uh… Ter.”

At Lorencia’s ragged breathing, a languid smile appeared on Teishar’s face.

He felt a deep satisfaction at the sight of Lorencia’s face turning red and her breathing falling apart because of him.

The thought that she showed this appearance because of him drove him crazy.

“Stay by my side forever. Loa.”

His low whisper was filled with a desperate love.

“You’re beautiful. Loa.”

Lorencia pouted her lips and instead of answering, wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

Several rounds of stormy moments passed. Lorencia opened her eyes, feeling languid. Recalling the passionate moments with him on the plush sofa and bed, her cheeks flushed.

Looking out the window, it was dark. It seemed she would be staying out while preparing for the wedding.

These days, whenever she stayed out and entered her room in the mansion the next day, waiting Leo would growl as if scolding her, giving her a look.

‘I’ll get scolded by Leo again tomorrow.’

However, it was very difficult to refuse his temptation.

Turning her head, she saw Teishar’s face, peacefully asleep while tightly embracing her.

Unlike his beastly, growling, crying appearance, he looked peaceful.

Just as Lorencia was smiling and watching Teishar’s sleeping face, Teishar kissed her cheeks and lips while holding her waist, and the corners of his mouth lifted.

“Are you feeling alright?”

“I kept saying stop, but you didn’t stop. Reflect on it.”

“But… when Loa told me to stop, you seemed to like it, so I couldn’t stop without realizing it.”

“So it’s my fault?”

“No. I’m sorry for being a beast that doesn’t know moderation.”

Lorencia pouted her lips and lightly hit Teishar’s shoulders.

“Ouch, it hurts. Loa.”

“Ter, you’re getting more and more of a whiner.”

Teishar couldn’t stop smiling, finding Lorencia, who was lightly hitting his shoulders, too cute.

The more lovely moments they shared, the harder it was to let go. He only felt endless longing.

“I can’t help it. I’ll tempt you again.”

“What? I won’t be tempted… Mmph.”

As if he couldn’t endure it, Teishar devoured her lips. A long kiss was exchanged, and the arms holding each other tightened. Their overlapping bodies pressed even closer together.

And so, they fell deeply into each other.

Inside the lavishly decorated wedding hall, many blessed the marriage of Lorencia and Teishar.

Rather than the wedding hall itself being extravagant, there were many distinguished guests who came to congratulate them. The guests congratulated the two while quickly calculating the future influence the Spencer and Di Gloston families becoming in-laws would have on the empire.

“Did you hear that story?”

“What story?”

“I heard that Viscount Teishar commissioned Lorencia’s wedding dress from the day they got engaged.”

“I heard that story too. That’s why the wedding preparations are fast.”

People were looking forward to seeing what wedding dress the beautiful Lorencia would wear. In noble society where arranged marriages are taken for granted, the two are marrying for love.

Teishar, who appeared in front of the hall, waited for Lorencia with a nervous look.

Unlike the splendid and joyful wedding atmosphere, he was in a state of tension.

Since falling for her, he had vowed to definitely marry her. That vow had been fulfilled.

Now he is having a wedding with Lorencia. How much had he wished for this!

His heart raced and pounded.

Teishar just waited for the hall doors to quickly open and for Lorencia to enter.
