Boswell, Giuliano, Afran, Mei.

A mark that strict individuals cannot overlook, a sign of possession.

Tonight, officially granted permission for marriage, was deemed suitable for putting on the ring.

Of course, he intended to leave traces on the body as well.

Deep into the unseen.

He held the hand with the ring, pressing it tightly, making it impossible to move.

Aaron’s sinister plan, which was unfolding without hesitation, was thwarted by someone.

“Del.”

A soft voice echoed in the quiet corridor.

It was a voice that stopped all of Aaron’s excitement about tonight’s plan.

Even without looking, it was clear.

Who was calling his princess.

Turning his head in the direction of the voice, Aaron furrowed his brows.

He slowly released the slender waist he was holding.

While pouring out complaints internally, he slowly released Delia’s hand, which was in contact with his lips.

Delia, too, escaped from Aaron and stood upright.

“Yes.”

The queen, who turned the corner elegantly, looked at the two with a graceful posture.

Did she see everything?

Due to the still lingering heat, Delia’s cheeks blushed.

“Mother. You called?”

“Yes, did you exchange greetings with the commander?”

Delia nonchalantly answered, lowering her gaze slightly.

“Yes.”

Aaron still averted his head from the queen.

With an elegant smile, the queen greeted the commander.

“Commander. Thank you for joining us for tonight’s dinner.”

Aaron, barely swallowing the rising discontent, turned his head towards the queen.

At the moment he faced the queen.

Aaron’s face displayed an elegant, dignified, and hypocritical smile.

“Thank you for inviting us tonight, Queen Eleanor. I’m sure you’ll be very busy preparing for the wedding.”

“Yes, I suppose so.”

“As it symbolizes the harmony between the two countries, there should be no neglect in the preparations.”

The moment the princess declared herself, it had to be the most splendid and beautiful event in the world.

A mark to be remembered forever.

So that the princess of Iorente would be remembered as Aaron’s forever.

Aaron declared with a strong will for a magnificent wedding.

“We will take care of everything on our imperial side.”

At Aaron’s firm declaration, the queen clenched the hem of her dress tightly.

Iorente couldn’t back down either.

Although it retreated due to the difference in power during the war, Iorente was not inferior when it came to the dignity and pride of the country.

Declaring a strong will for a perfect wedding, the queen turned to Aaron.

“Considering the dignity of both countries, we in the Iorente royal family also plan to provide full support.”

The determined gazes of Aaron and the queen clashed fiercely in the air as they fueled their intentions for the wedding preparations.
In the midst of it, Delia could only look at them with an awkward expression.

“We have a lot to discuss together.”

“Perhaps so.”

“To discuss matters related to the wedding, I will visit you soon.”

“I’ll be waiting. Commander. You don’t have to bring such a big gift next time.”

Aaron avoided the response with a wry smile.

“Well then, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Commander, please return safely.”

The queen and Aaron exchanged polite greetings with elegance and perfection.

However, they couldn’t hide their inner desire to quickly send each other away.

Having quickly finished the greetings, the queen approached Delia and extended her hand.

“Del. Let’s go now.”

“Yes?”

Delia’s pupils widened like lanterns.

Where to? With whom?

To interpret the meaning of the hand handed by her mother, Delia’s blue eyes moved hastily.

“Del, did you have any schedule after this that I don’t know about?”

“No. Today’s schedule is all finished. So, now we need to go back to our room.”

“Yes? Then, I’ll go back to my room from today onwards…”

“Del. It would be better for you to stay with your mother for a while. Just like now.”

Delia’s face twisted unexpectedly in an unforeseen situation.

Being confined as Delia without freedom in the same space as her mother was not comfortable.

She thought that since her mother allowed the marriage to the commander, she would be able to escape naturally.

“But, it might be uncomfortable for your mother too.”

As Delia mumbled awkwardly, the queen murmured with a gentle voice.

“It’s uncomfortable. I regret not having much time left to spend with my daughter. It will be difficult to have such time after getting married.”

The queen’s eyes, flickering strangely in the trembling candlelight, were oddly radiant.

“And it will take time for the Imperial Army to adapt to Iorente. So.”

The queen, with only her lips elegantly lifted, looked at Aaron as if she could see through him.

As if she were talking to Aaron, she addressed Delia.

“For a while, let’s stay together in my room.”

A disappointed sigh slipped from Delia’s lips without anyone noticing.

“Yes. Mother. I will do that.”

After responding to the queen with a listless voice, Delia turned to Aaron.

She gracefully lifted the hem of her dress and slightly bent her knees to greet Aaron.
