Wizards and nobles came to attend as guests. From them, presents and congratulatory money were pouring in so Weed gladly and courteously greeted them.
After that, the officiant, Bishop Cyprianus, began the invocation.
“We are gathered here today to join this young and promising wizard-nobleman, Sir Seulroeo Byron and the gem of our Niflheim Empire, Lady Letia Evelynn in holy matrimony.”
The wedding ceremony was then started with a pompous musical performance.
After the first song ended, the officiant then introduced himself to the noble well-wishers.
A symphony expressing the joys and sorrows of life then played afterwards.
Weed was surprise to know that a wedding ceremony had so many processes involved. He had wanted to finish the ceremony as soon as possible but then the servers arrived serving the guests at their tables their dinner and glasses of cold drinks.
‘I guess it would be inadequate to brew Samdasoo Green Tea Bags during a wedding day…. The preparation process would be too long.’
Rover, Golden Bird, and Eunsae were among the guests.
Rover was served with fresh vegetables while Golden Bird and Eunsae were served with a meal of cooked eel and snake cuisines without any seasonings.
“Entering the groom, Sir Seulroeo Byron.”
After the words of the officiant, Weed gallantly walked into the wedding aisle.
‘I’ve gained a lot of profit.’
Weed had made a killing and now, all that is left to do to complete the wedding is exchange the rings.
There wasn’t anything to it apart from Weed putting the female ring in Seoyoon’s finger and receiving the male ring so it was easy peasy.
After presenting himself to the officiant and the guests, Weed now stood still.
“And here come the most beautiful bride in the world.”
The orchestra then began playing a clear melody. Slowly walking down the aisle was Seoyoon wearing a pure white wedding dress.
Her appearance right now cannot even be compared to when she wore a wedding dress during the school festival.
She could only be described as all the beauty in the world combined as she walked down the aisle.
Weed then began to reminisce.
‘Back then, I was the one who took her veil off.’
Their relationship already has come a long way.
‘Come to think of it, we have gone to many different places together.’
It all started with their chance meeting in the instructor’s cabin during his novice days in Rosenheim Kingdom. Then when he shapeshifted into Orc Karichwi, they travelled together in the Plains of Despair. After that, they went into an adventure together in the north, planting the Wood Elf Seeds and hunting the Bone Dragon.
And in Las Phalanx, she fought together with him though it ended up costing her life.
Although it had been difficult for Weed to do his work since Seoyoon is nearby.
But it is not an exaggeration to say that the many sculptures he modelled after her were by far the most beautiful creations that he had ever done.
After all, the first Grandmaster Piece that he had created was a sculpture based on her. Even his first Moonlight Sculpture was also based on her.
Upon realizing that the wedding dress-clad Seoyoon was drawing near, Weed forcibly stopped his recollection.
Through various coincidences, his fate is now once again intertwined with Seoyoon’s though he is still afraid to accept it. It was because he believes that another man well-suited for her existed somewhere. Weed then reminded himself:
‘Grandmother once told me, a woman’s appearance doesn’t mean everything.’
While these many thoughts were running through his head, Seoyoon was approaching closer.
With the words of his grandmother in his mind, Weed decided to calmly evaluate Seoyoon.
- If the girl is pretty then you’ll be happy for 3 years, if she is a wonderful cook then you’ll be merry for 30 years, and if she is smart then you’ll have 3 generations of bliss.
‘Seoyoon is extremely pretty so there should be an additional number of years. So 6 years of happiness?’
Even after becoming her boyfriend or husband, it would still be hard to ignore Seoyoon’s lovely appearance. You’ll even think you’re in heaven if you see Seoyoon’s sleeping face next to you when you wake up!
However, such dazzling appearance would wane in 6 years, although he wasn’t very sure whether this would even apply to her.
‘After 6 years, she would still be on her 20’s and I have this feeling that she will be even more beautiful as time goes by…. Anyway, marrying a woman that knows how to cook will have 30 years of happy life at best.’
He had already tasted the food Seoyoon expertly prepared complete with condiments inside a lunchbox with a note written from her. It was a meal done with considerable skill, not inferior to even Weed’s.
‘I guess 30 years of bliss since she knows how to cook.’
They would be able to cook together if Weed had such a wife and spend the rest of their years developing and improving recipes.
