Weed had mixed feelings about items.
“I didn’t think I’d acquire Seulroeo’s Pair of Wedding Rings. But as expected, I now have the Dragon Sword.”
The Red Star can deal high damage and has many Options. However, the level restriction is very high.
It was something that cannot be easily sold due to its fire resistance wearing restriction.
Furthermore, it would be difficult to put up a price for such extremely rare loot!
“I don’t even know who to sell this to.”
Weed felt greatly disappointed as he looked around the ground for his scattered items. He had died twice and so did the amount of his dropped items, among them were his Talrock’s armor, some sewing tools, and several sculptures.
Due to Weed having accumulated a lot of Infamy and having the Murderer’s Mark, he had dropped a lot of items more than usual.
As he was recollecting his items and the ones obtained by his undead during the battle, Seoyoon appeared having just reconnected together with the arrival of Golden Bird, Eunsae, and Rover.
“Good to see you are safe and sound.”
Weed caringly stroked Rover. Rover then heartily rubbed his face and licked him with his tongue, something that he would normally not do.
‘Master, thank you. I did not know that you were keeping an eye on me and saved me. Sorry.’
‘I would’ve died in at that place. How can I ever repay you….’
To the outside, this would’ve been seen as a very touching scene but never in their wildest dream would they be able to think of what was Weed’s true intentions.
Eunsae, flapping its wings, landed on Weed’s shoulder. It was a gesture of affection.
Among the sculptures of life, only Eunsae had a nature of that of a girl. And this time, it seems to have a change of heart about Weed.
“I should be distributing Kubichya’s item drops by now but since we can’t wear the boots and plate armor set, I’ll sell it first and give your share later, ok?”
Seoyoon nodded. Since she has yet to return to a town or castle, the number of items she had acquired in the fields previously and the ones she received here has been stockpiling, exceeding her current item capacity.
“But you can take this one.”
Weed handed over the male ring of Seulroeo’s Pair of Wedding Rings to her while he held onto its other remaining female ring half.
“I’ll distribute this equally between the two of us.”
“…?”
Due to the wearing restrictions, Weed must be the one to give a proposal and while he offers the ring to Seoyoon, his face had become bright red as an apple.
The meaning of a ring is never a small deal to a woman especially if its wedding rings!
*Ttiring!*
- Wearing Seulroeo’s Pair of Wedding Rings will fulfil his dearest wish.
If worn, the effects of the ring will let you act out his long-cherished and unfulfilled desire.
Seulroeo’s wish is to have a wedding with his fiancée, do you wish to proceed?
The unmarried man and woman will enact the part of Seulroeo and his fiancée Letia Evelynn in order to fulfil their wishes and release them from their regrets.
Weed, of course, had no other choice but to proceed.
The unique class item has an effect of increasing Mana Regeneration which is very essential to hunting.
And after a while, the two which were inside the Inferno Dungeon of Las Phalanx together with the sculptures of life had their surrounding area suddenly transformed into a majestic castle.
- You have arrived at Castle Evelynn of the Niflheim Empire.
This place is the manifestation of Seulroeo’s dream, an illusionary world called ‘Magus Phantasm’. Although illusionary, the items acquired here can be owned.
Weed and Seoyoon was then approached by butlers and maids.
“Ahh, this is what happens when I’m late in waking you up. Today is the wedding, we must prepare quickly. The clothes sent by the tailors have already arrived, come quickly Master Seulroeo.”
Weed’s appearance was the same way as before, just plain ordinary, but the maids see him as Seulroeo.
Weed was then forced by the maids to get moving. Seoyoon as well was led by the other maids to another room.
“Oh my, you have such smooth skin.”
“Just one look at Lady Letia and you can already tell that she is a peerless beauty. Master Seulroeo is truly one lucky man.”
Weed could hear the voices of the maids talking to Seoyoon while walking down the hall.
A maid then asked Weed.
"Are you properly taking care of your skin?"
"Ah, there's eye-wax stuck in there. Hurry and go wash your face."
Rover, Golden Bird, and Eunsae were left standing idly in the hall. But soon after that, a ranch manager and a garden custodian appeared and took them along somewhere else.
***
Weed was taking a bath inside a bathtub filled with hot water with his head swathed in a towel. In Royal Road, taking a long bath will make one feel refreshed.
- You will recover from fatigue much faster.
After the bath, if you eat a meal, you can recover up to 20% higher that of your maximum stamina.
After a comfortable bath, Weed then rested for 30 minutes. He had then put on the suit the tailor had sent though it was very uncomfortable to move on.
Taking advantage of the situation, Weed used his Identify skill to check the wedding suit during the era of the Niflheim Empire. The item grants an increase in Grace and Charm and gives a considerably good impression towards the opposite sex.
- You have acquired the methods for producing wedding suits for high nobilities.
For Weed who have the sewing skill, it was a great opportunity for him to learn how to make a new suit although what he learned seemed to be rather useless.
Defense is almost zero, it easily wears off due to low Durability and its special effect is to inflict a minor charmed status. To make matters worse, getting it wrinkled will lead to a drop in the Grace and Charm stat!
‘Collecting the suit materials and creating it is difficult.’
After donning the suit, the maids then started fixing his hair.
By applying a strange pomade, his hair had become smooth and shiny and was combed in a hairstyle that he had never done before.
‘Just apply shampoo on the hair and rinse it then dry it using a towel.’
To Weed who prefers a pragmatic way of life, this was an unfamiliar experience to him.
Combing through his forelocks, his hair was then parted in a 7 to 3 ratio.
Weed was very embarrassed as he looked through the mirror and awkwardly made a request.
“Wouldn’t it be ok to just let down my hair like normal?”
“Oh, would you like to have it done in the usual style, Master Seulroeo?”
“…….”
With that as the maid’s response, Weed was unable to reply.
‘I’ll revert back my hairstyle after the wedding. For now, I’ll just have to endure until this is over.’
In Weed’s entire lifetime, he had not once experienced putting on makeup.
The maids then let Weed look into the mirror.
“I think Master is looking very handsome.”
Hearing them speak about his appearance made Weed frown for he knows that everyone was forcing themselves in speaking words of praise.
And then, soothing music began to flow.
“The wedding is about to start, Master Seulroeo.”
“I should be going then.”
Weed wanted to finish this event fast.
Any man would definitely be able to sympathize with him. It’s like feeling the accumulated fatigue of accompanying a woman in a department store while keeping up appearance.
“You should go and exchange greetings with the guests but pay a visit to the officiant first.”
“Can’t I just have the wedding proceed immediately?”
“Lady Letia needs a lot of time to get ready. In a wedding, the bride must be distinctively beautiful.”
With Seoyoon still undergoing a bridal makeover, Weed was unable to hasten the schedule.
Weed’s wedding was going to be held in front of a blue fountain hall where the guests were currently standing looking at him.
‘Anyway, this is not even my wedding… I should go and greet the guests.'
“Seulroeo, your theory on the arcane arts that reduces the time of spellcasting is amazing. It’s already enough to qualify you in winning this year Matam’s Scholar Award.”
- You have acquired a magical ingredient, Blue Lizard’s Tail.
