I carefully tied the note to the dart and threw it. After checking the reply, Askal pondered for a moment, then wrote another note and threw it to me, staring intently.
I quietly gazed at him as he waited with his chin resting on his hand. In his comfortable attire and natural appearance without any makeup, he looked like he would really just hold hands and sleep, but in the darkness, he seemed exactly like a predator waiting for a chance to hunt.
I raised both arms above my head and crossed them in an X shape. Askal understood the meaning and hung his head low.
After throwing the last dart.
Before hearing any more regretful sounds, I gathered the notes we had exchanged and went into the room.
He was clearly like a terrifying black panther, but since when did he become as cute as a bear?
‘Wait a moment.’
As I was carefully folding the notes to put them in the vanity drawer, a sudden thought occurred to me.
‘Aren’t bears predators too?’
[This is the timeline separator]From early morning, the front of the mansion was bustling with the arrival of carriage processions. Guests were trying their best to exchange words with the Crown Prince couple, while those with unmarried daughters of marriageable age were busy trying to introduce their daughters to the young Duke of Terabita.
“Do you know who’s at the venue?”
Anna asked me as I was touching up my eye makeup in the bridal waiting room.
“The Duke of Terabita is there.”
“Ranson?”
“Yes!”
We sent an invitation, but didn’t expect him to come in person. I knew it wasn’t good for him to be away, as his influence in the territory was not yet firmly established.
“Maybe it’s because his position has changed. The atmosphere was completely different from before.”
Anna continued speaking while busily moving her hands.
“Now he’s become someone we can’t treat carelessly anymore.”
I suppose so. His clothes would be different, and the people around him would be different too.
And the fact that I should treat him as the Duke of Terabita before treating him as an artist.
“There, all done.”
Anna smiled contentedly and showed me the mirror. I was so beautiful that I wondered if it was really me.
Lips with a vibrant, lively color and eyes that appeared large. The silver powder lightly dusted on my forehead and nose bridge even gave off a mysterious aura.
With little time left before the ceremony.
Askal came to the bridal waiting room.
“My lady. I’ve come to escort you.”
I gazed at him endlessly as he appeared in his ceremonial attire. I knew he was handsome, and I knew he had good body proportions.
But the him reflected in my eyes now couldn’t simply be described as cool. A slightly more sophisticated level of word was needed.
I feel like I might be enchanted by him. It felt like if he asked me to walk to hell with him, I would follow without hesitation.
‘He’s so cool.’
What an attractive man. When Rublion grows up, he’ll probably become a man like that too.
We looked at each other for a long time. I can understand why I couldn’t take my eyes off him, but why was Askal doing the same?
“I want to cover the eyes of everyone outside. I want to be the only one to see you like this right now, my lady.”
“Are you saying I’m pretty?”
“No, you’re not pretty.”
I was taken aback when he denied it, thinking he would agree. But he continued speaking with a bright smile.
“You’re beautiful. Too beautiful to be described merely as pretty.”
He removed the glove from my right hand and kissed the back of it. That style of playing with people’s hearts somehow felt familiar.
“Askal.”
“Yes, my lady.”
“Why are you becoming more and more like Rublion?”
Askal tilted his head slightly to the side in puzzlement. I sighed discreetly before answering.
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
[This is the timeline separator]The gazes of the people gathered at the venue converged on one spot. It was near the main entrance of the mansion where a commotion had broken out.
There, a man with short black hair tied up and dressed in a suit was in a standoff with the knights, trying to enter.
Those who recognized him exchanged whispers about the situation, while those who didn’t know what was happening were busy moving around among people to gather information.
And there was one person who was watching this situation most interestedly, and that was the Crown Prince.
His gaze was fixed on the Crown Princess, Hegelia. Of course, she was unaware that he was looking at her, as she was anxiously watching the main entrance.
“The ceremony will begin shortly.”
The host called out to attract people’s attention, but people showed more interest in the unexpected situation.
Eventually, Aron entered the outdoor wedding venue set up in the garden. The family knights, unable to do anything to him, stuck close by his side to keep watch.
The Crown Prince alternately looked at Hegelia, who had stiffened with tension, and Aron, who had nonchalantly taken a seat.
‘Tsk.’
A Crown Princess sitting beside him, nervously biting her nails and being conscious of another man.
The Crown Prince lightly wrapped his arm around Hegelia’s shoulders. She flinched in surprise but soon relaxed her tense expression.
“Nothing will happen. The Artenbach knights are as skilled as the royal guards.”
“I suppose so?”
He knew that the bright smile on Hegelia’s face was forced.
“I wish the ceremony would start soon.”
“So do I.”
The Crown Prince comforted her with a smile unparalleled in the world as she whispered earnestly in an affectionate voice.
At the same time.
Rieta moved to sit beside Rublion, who remained motionless with a complicated expression.
The twins were being scolded by Ranson after running around like foals in the garden next to the outdoor wedding venue, so Rieta, who would normally have no spare attention from watching the twins, noticed the worried Rublion.
“Now that they’re actually getting married, does it feel strange?”
Rublion slowly raised his head. The silk hat veil covering Rieta’s forehead fluttered gently in the breeze.
“It’s not like that.”
“If you have any worries, you can tell me.”
“…”
Rublion’s gaze fell to the floor again. He had been looking forward to this wedding so much, but now his heart was complicated.
“There are circumstances I can’t talk about.”
“I see.”
Rieta leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms.
“Then I won’t ask anymore. I’ll just sit here beside you, and if you want to talk, you can do so then.”
Despite the girl’s warm comfort, Rublion’s attention was directed towards Aron sitting far away. He was afraid of accidentally making eye contact if he turned around.
‘It’s okay. I have a mom and dad who love me.’
It was a mantra he repeated in his head.
‘They said they’d pull out all his teeth if he tried to take me away.’
He recalled Askal’s voice, indifferent but sincere. His pounding heart calmed down a little.
Rublion fiddled with the flower petal basket at his feet. He had plucked each petal from the greenhouse for this day. Especially pink petals that matched Schmidt’s hair color.
“Young master, the ceremony is starting now.”
Rieta pointed towards the garden entrance. There stood Schmidt, smiling as brightly as the sun, and beside her, Askal with a serious face, visibly tense.
‘He’s completely frozen.’
He was stiff as if he had a wind-up key on his back. Rublion couldn’t help but chuckle.
“She’s really beautiful. Isn’t she?”
Rieta clapped her hands while looking in the same direction. The Duke and Duchess walked side by side towards the cardinal who had climbed onto the platform for the marriage declaration.
Amidst the congratulatory voices of people and the chaos due to the heavy ceremonial attire, Schmidt looked around at the guest seats. Upon spotting Rublion sitting at the very front, she waved at him.
At the same time, Askal, who received an elbow to his side, noticed the golden eyes and smiled awkwardly.
The young boy felt like he might cry, though he didn’t know why. Unable to calm down easily, he hugged the flower basket tightly.
“The Duchess is so beautiful.”
Rieta murmured as if enchanted. Rublion answered with a bright smile.
“She’s my mom. The one who loves me the most and whom I love the most, my mom.”
Many times more than the number of petals in the flower basket.
The most in this world.
As he thought that far, a tear he had been holding back finally fell. It was flowing out of genuine happiness.
“Young master, are you crying?”
“Eh, is the young master crying?”
The twins had approached and were clinging to Rublion’s sides. Rublion wiped his tears with the back of his hand and said,
“The sunlight got in my eyes.”
The boy’s eyes were directed towards Schmidt, who was as radiant and beautiful as the sun.
[This is the timeline separator]The wedding was reaching its final stages. The cardinal’s long, drawn-out officiating was over, and Schmidt and Askal’s deep kiss had ended.
The two turned towards the guests and took a powerful step forward, arm in arm.
“It’s your turn, young master.”
At Rieta’s words, Rublion stood up, exhaling through his nose. It was the moment he had been waiting for.
He wiped the sweat on his palms on his trouser legs. Then he grabbed a handful of flower petals.
Flutter.
He threw them up with all his might, but the petals in one small fist were not as plentiful as he had thought. Rublion’s eyes shook in confusion as it wasn’t the scene he had imagined.
“Young master.”
Rieta, who had suddenly appeared beside him, handed him a piece of paper folded into a scoop shape. Rublion used it to scoop up a full load of petals and scattered them with all his might.
“Congratulations on your marriage!”
“Duchess, you are truly beautiful.”
Amidst the cheers of the people, the pink petals riding on the wind and scattering was a scene he wanted to see again in his dreams. Rublion emptied all the petals from the basket and turned around with a satisfied smile.
That’s when it happened.
‘Why is she looking at me like that?’
Among the guests in bright, cheerful clothes, the Crown Princess, who had come as a representative of the royal family, was staring intently at Rublion. Her eyes seemed somewhat sad at a glance.
“Young master? What are you looking at?”
Rambermon, who was picking up fallen petals to throw again, came close and asked. Rublion answered with a puzzled expression.
“No, it’s just that Her Highness the Crown Princess keeps looking at me.”
Rambermon turned his head to check. But the Crown Princess was in the middle of a serious conversation with the Crown Prince.
“Did you see wrong?”
“Maybe…”
Rublion scratched his cheek with his finger. He wondered if he had seen wrong, as Rambermon said.
