When the Nemesis Eats the Wicked Woman

Chapter 105

 

* * *

Behind the gardens of the Imperial Palace, where the sunlight poured in.

A huge outdoor great hall made by renovating a large greenhouse was opened.

It was a newly opened place especially built by the crown prince for this wedding.

The bride of today’s splendid wedding, which would be held on a scale that would go down in history, Berylia… 

I was preparing to get married in the waiting room.

There was quite a lot to prepare.

“I’ve only been doing dress fittings and having my makeup done for the past two hours.”

I stared at Patricia, exhausted.

“I want it to be as simple as possible.”

Patricia, who was on a special business trip from the wedding dressing room, said with an uncompromising look.

“Your Majesty, this makeup is taking into account the size of today’s wedding! Haven’t you seen the outdoor Great Hall yet?”

It was true that I couldn’t see it because I was still in the waiting room.

Patricia noticed Berylia looking at her, raising her long, dense eyelashes.

There was a little curiosity in her eyes.

“…How is it?”

Although Berylia had such gorgeous features, she was as neat and beautiful as the queen of fairies today. 

After this thought, Patricia said with a smile, satisfied with her craft.

“I can’t tell you that. Go see it for yourself!”

“….…”

“It’s a wedding venue where you can feel the love of the Crown Prince… so much.”

‘How did he prepare it?’

I tried to pretend not to care, but it was true that I was curious.

In principle, the bride and groom couldn’t see each other until just before the wedding ceremony.

The bride also couldn’t see the wedding hall until the wedding ceremony began.

In Aktoum, the ‘wedding hall’ was the last wedding present that the husband gave to his wife.

Therefore, the waiting room was equipped with perfect security so that the outside could not be seen in advance.

“Be patient. The Crown Prince must be holding it in too.”

“…What is Rixus doing?”

“The most handsome groom from our dressing room has changed! He must be sitting awkwardly in front of the painter by now.”

“Pfft.”

I let out a little laugh because Patricia’s explanation was funny.

Soon after, my makeup and hair were complete.

I was happy. Because I didn’t have much time left before the drugs started taking effect.

‘I’m almost right on the mark.’

Finally, I was left alone in the waiting room.

Today’s marriage, it was not enough just to be happy.

It was definite that because of what was going to happen next, I had a hard time hiding my nervousness.

I felt regret that if this was going to happen, I should have seen Rixus even a little bit last night.

Holding Rixus’ warm hand would have likely made me feel a little better.

“…I’m thirsty. I keep getting thirsty.”

It was when I was talking to myself involuntarily with an anxious heart and a burning throat.

Suddenly, the kettle of water floated up to itself.

“!”

I widened my eyes, wondering if I was dreaming.

But apparently, that kettle was magically pouring water into the cup.

Not only that, but the cup was approaching me by itself.

“?”

As the tension melted, a smile hung around my mouth.

I reached out my hand and quietly grabbed the glass and whispered uncontrollably.

“Thank you, Rixus.”

“…I’ve been caught.”

Swhiik— Rixus’ figure was revealed as he took off something at once. In his large hand was a cloak.

“….…”

For a moment, my heart fell once, and then it came back up.

Today’s Rixus was really great. It was much more than what I had imagined.

Was it normal for one’s heart to be pounding like death when one sees her husband?

At this rate, it was clear that I would have a heart disease and not live much longer.

Standing next to me, who was drinking water slowly, Rixus spoke with his warm blue-violet eyes.

“How did you know?”

“….…”

“Now, I’ll notice if we’re in the same space.”

“There is a particular scent. I like your unique body scent.”

So I knew. I knew it was Rixus.

Rixus’ eyes narrowed strangely, and he seemed to be smiling.

He quickly lifted me up naturally, hugging me by the waist.

Then, cradling me in his arms, he looked down and asked, slyly.

“How much do you like it?”

“…Rixus. I don’t know who might come in.”

I nudged him on the shoulder.

But on the contrary, he slowly interlocked his fingers with mine, grabbing my hand.

Between his thick fingers, my soft fingers slipped.

Rixus buried his sharp nose against his soon-to-be wife’s neckline, and he asked, inhaling the scent of his favorite skin.

“I’ll let you go if you answer.”

Badump. At the sound of my heart beating in my chest, I blinked.

I wouldn’t normally say this, but I remembered that today was our wedding day.

So I became cautiously frank.

“…Good, very. To the point where I feel like an idiot.”

“…….”

For a moment, Rixus looked at the woman without saying a word.(TL/N: starting from here, 3rd person pov.)

She was the one who used her vices and gave him contemptuous glances, telling him to never cross the line.

She was vigilant at every moment and she tried her best not to give him any openings. That was Berylia.

But now…

Whenever she showed her heart without hesitation like this.

Like the time she admitted she liked him. It felt like his heart was being squeezed.

“Why do you look like that?”

When Berylia asked suspiciously, Rixus answered.

“Shall we hit the wedding? How about right after that?”

“?”

The face of Berylia, who at first didn’t understand what he was saying, quickly turned red.

“I can’t, you’re a pervert, really?!”

“Of course.”

……Wasn’t it natural for him to be a pervert?

Her blush spread, but Rixus didn’t budge.

“……Go away.”

“That’s never going to happen.”

Rixus was unbelievably happy.

Even if he put all the happiest moments of his life together, it would fall short of the present.

Because Berylia was Rixus’ dream.

Now, there would be no more worrying about her night during a rainy day.

The dark past that he had to bear to keep her around, would now literally stay in the ‘past’.

Now his future hope was as this woman wished, to be a grandmother; he wanted to grow old with her.

“Today, marry me nicely.”

“….…”

“I’ll let you become a grandmother.”

Berylia blinked and she looked up at him.

‘I thought he forgot.’ 

It was an insignificant conversation they had in the bathroom, but he must have remembered it.

To remember that and to want to make that dream come true… 

To Berylia, Rixus’ words touched her more than any expensive gift.

Her chest was pounding so hard that it hurt.

“…If only my hopes for the future come true, what will you do… you…”

“My hopes for the future have changed.”

“To what?”

He whispered in her ear.

“As a grandfather, who will forever be by the side of the happy grandmother.”

Berylia’s expression darkened slightly.

She looked like she was about to cry.

While she seemed to like it, she still had that complex expression that contained anxiety.

‘What the hell is it that makes her uneasy?’

“Why is your expression like that again?”

“……Nothing.”

Berylia looked at him quietly and answered.

“It’s just that I’m happy.”

“….…”

Sometimes she was like this.

She appeared to be honest, but then suddenly didn’t show her insides.

He thought he had completed the perfect puzzle for happiness, yet he felt like a piece of the puzzle had just been thrown apart.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t understand her heart.

At times like this, Rixus… He remembered the first time he found the girl alone picking blueberries by the lake.

When he called her name and asked why, he was afraid that she would be crushed like this, so he was cautious and quiet.

‘I don’t think I’ll be able to narrow the distance despite it being just one step left…’

Rixus was holding her in his arms, but he was still impatient.

He felt like he would miss her, if he didn’t have her perfectly. 

Strength gradually entered his arms.

“…….”

At that time, there were two knocks at the waiting room door, and a servant who was helping with the ceremony showed his face.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty the Queen. The ceremony begins now.”

Berylia took Rixus’ hand, and they stood at the entrance of the waiting room.

Her curly white blonde hair gracefully flowed down to her chest.

Her red left eye under long eyelashes.

And the right eye that stone like a strange diamond,

It gave the viewer a strange sense of heterogeneity and awe at the same time.

The dress wrapped around her body had an intense feeling.

Rixus’ gaze fell on Berylia.

Although she was a woman who could not be caught and who made his blood boil…

He couldn’t help but love her. After all, he… 

Rixus’s heart felt like it was about to burn.

“Let’s go.”

That was the last thing he said before he led Berylia to the sound of cheers and music from afar.

* * *

The moment the door fully opened—

The waves of that sound completely overwhelm me.

“Hah.”

I took a sharp intake of breath unknowingly.

The scene unfolding in front of me was… I couldn’t believe it.

In the clear sunny sky, a flock of bluebirds flew.

Below that was an overwhelmingly large outdoor wedding hall.

The endless seats were all adorned with the elegant flowers of Aktoum, and it seemed that not only the major nobles, but also the smaller nobles of the distant countryside were present.

It was also very nice to see the faces of the major nobles of Spinel.

The tall podium was as far as reaching the sky, and a red carpet stretched out to the spot.

The priest spoke using the loudspeaker magic tool.

“Spinel and Aktoum, thank you all for attending from the beginning of the speech. Blessings be from Gaara, the God of the Early Summer Sun, who gave eyes to humans.”

At that time, all the nobles stood up slowly and shouted loudly.

“Blessed be Gaara!”

Gaara.

Imprisoned in the prison of the gods for giving eyes to humans.

A god who loved the warrior in the sky who found him with all his life.

It was an oath that they would never back down from love, even if the fate of death had separated them from each other.

‘Can I really keep this oath?’

Until the blue roses bloomed, no, could the wedding even be held safely today?

Inhaling a slow, deep breath, I took Rixus’ hand and moved forward.

One step, another step.

The wedding started as if walking on thin ice.

“….…”

From afar, Yuria was looking at them with a cold face.
