Chapter 410 – In a Happy Daily Life (End)
Among the flower petals fluttering in the wind. I see Amelia walking lightly.
I couldn’t take my eyes off her with her bright smile. She looked so beautiful in her wedding dress.
“Ah···”
It feels like the world has stopped. I approached her as if I was fascinated by her, the only one who moved.
I went to meet her in the center of the hall and carefully grabbed the back of her soft hand.
“Amelia. “The dress suits you so well.”
“Hmph! Thank you. “Siwoo, you’re really cool too.”
We walked side by side amidst cheerful, blessing-like music. I headed to the podium along the soft carpet.
“Ha! Goddess. “Why are you putting me through this ordeal?”
I stood in front of the saint who was muttering as if praying.
Lydia spoke into her microphone, pouting her lips as if she was in a bad mood again.
“Master…No, does the groom Choi Si-woo take Miss Amelia as his wife and swear to love her no matter what, and to cherish and protect her bride?”
“Yes.”
There was nothing to worry about. Because it was such an obvious question.
“···Ugh.”
I feel a sigh, like an ant crawling, that I wouldn’t even be able to hear if I didn’t have the senses.
Wow! The saintess, who was clutching the script with the sermon written on it, spoke in a slightly trembling voice.
“Bride…Do you, Miss Amelia, take Choi Si-woo as her husband and swear to trust, respect, and love him forever no matter what?”
“Yes!”
“···Great. The two of you should kiss each other on the lips, meaning that you will never forget that vow for the rest of your life. Phew!”
The script the saint was holding was completely crumpled. It was crushed and lying underneath the podium, but I pretended not to notice.
Because at this moment, Amelia was the most important and precious thing in the world.
Sreuk.
She carefully wrapped her arms around her waist so as not to press on her pregnant, swollen belly.
She whispered, lightly kissing his soft lips.
“I love you, Amelia.”
“Yep···! I love you too. “Huh!”
I quickly wiped her eyes as she burst into tears.
“Why are you crying.”
It was difficult. She promised her mother-in-law she wouldn’t make her cry. It has already rang.
“Hehe… I just love it so much… Hehe.”
Side!
She smiled brightly, stood on her tiptoes, and placed her lips on my cheek.
“Do more! “It’s far from enough.”
I had no choice as he hugged the back of my neck and wouldn’t let me go. I was able to be released only after kissing him five times.
“Are you satisfied now?”
“···No. “I’m patient because everyone is waiting.”
“I am indeed.”
The moment I kissed the bride one last time as she shook her head.
“Ugh!”
Somewhere, a guy presumed to be Kang Su-ho let out an exasperated groan, but he didn’t pay any attention.
“Hehe… I like it…”
Because Amelia smiling happily was more important.
“Hmm. Next will be the bouquet delivery ceremony. “If you would like to receive a bouquet, please come forward… Okay?”
The host was embarrassed. This is because Helena and Kang Hyun-ah came out at the same time and bumped into her shoulder.
“···Hyuna unnie. What is this? “Of course I’m next.”
“Ha. Don’t say anything you don’t know. “Helena, I met you much before you.”
The girls glared at each other, their lower bellies swollen enough for anyone to see that they were pregnant.
“···”
Helena, frowning, looked behind her. Isabelle, who had been quietly following her, was startled and avoided her gaze.
“Are you going to do this to your aunt too?”
“I’m sorry.”
Helena felt salty and looked at her, but it had no effect. Isabelle lowered her head and did not back down.
“Uh… Only one person needs to come out to receive the bouquet.”
The host’s timid voice was heard, but no one came down.
Rather, the other women also looked at each other. Even Meyrin, who was polite as an adult, glanced at her podium.
She had a feeling it would be a mess if she left it alone.
“···Let’s just throw it.”
“Oh, I understand. “Then she wants the bride to turn around and throw her bouquet.”
It seems completely unrelated to this situation. Amelia, who had been wandering around, slowly turned around.
Gulp.
Their eyes were colored with tension. She lowered her posture as if she had met a mortal enemy.
In particular, Isabel went so far as to grope her swordless waist.
“One, two, three!”
That time when the gorgeous bouquet left from Amelia’s hand drew a booming parabola.
Googungung!
Along with a heavy vibration, a geometric magic circle filled the air. Complex patterns that gave me a headache just looking at them merged together to create a spiral.
The moment when blue magic tangled like a spider’s web took control of the air and distorted space.
Whick!
The slowly falling bouquet was literally sucked into someone’s hand faster than a bullet.
“Ah!”
With Kang Hyun-ah’s helpless sigh. Isabelle stretched her free hand above her head and closed her eyes.
“···Ahaha.”
Only Helena’s laughter echoed in the quiet ceremony hall. Her breathing was slightly heavy, as if she had exerted all she could in a short period of time.
Her colorful bouquet ended up in her hands.
She couldn’t help but smile when she saw Helena twitching the corners of her mouth as if she were the winner.
‘It’s cute.’
In fact, Isabel’s level was higher, but she couldn’t even use her magical power because of her reputation.
In the end, Helena, who even put down her dignity, became the final winner.
“Huh. What happened to my daughter…”
The Grand Duke of the North was looking at her daughter with an expression of disbelief, with his chin uncharacteristically dropped.
*
They say that the happier you are, the faster time passes.
The sweet honeymoon passed by like a dream, and before we knew it, Amelia’s due date arrived.
“My husband, please wait outside.”
According to the female doctor’s words, she felt anxious and nervous as she waited in front of the delivery room. At this time, even the highest level was meaningless.
“Whoa.”
In her anxious heart, she looked at the clock, but not even 30 minutes had passed, let alone an hour. Time was so slow today.
She simply could not sit still. She jumped up and spun around in her place.
How long did I wait while the time crawled like a slug?
“Aaaaah!”
A loud crying sound was heard. Only then did her mind relax.
“···Our princess is brave.”
*
A few months later.
Amelia is seen breastfeeding her child while holding her child in her arms.
The sight of her smiling while looking at my daughter, Euna, really made my heart flutter just by looking at her.
“Amelia.”
“Ah! “Is Siwoo here?”
The faint smile brightened. She always smiled brightly when she saw me.
“The tangerines I wanted to eat here. “I went to Jeju Island and picked it myself.”
“Jeongmaal? Lol. Thank you!”
He sat next to her on her bed. She leaned her shoulder against me and I watched her breastfeed in silence.
‘···It’s even prettier today.’
My wife breastfeeding my child. He was truly a precious being who gave me an indescribable emotion.
Amelia, who had been wandering around looking at her Euna, began to doze off.
“You look tired. Are you okay?”
“Ah… I’m a little sleepy maybe because I didn’t sleep well.”
I spoke to her as her eyes relaxed.
“If you’re sleepy, go in and sleep.”
“Hey. “It’s so cold…”
When she became a mother, she seemed to have grown up a bit, but she still had a childlike side to her.
When she whined, I comforted her by patting her.
“You barely slept last night because you had to breastfeed Eun. “I’ll take care of Eun-ah, so she can take a nap.”
“Ugh… I’ll go to sleep if you kiss me.”
There was nothing that couldn’t be done. As I kissed her soft lips again and again, the corners of her mouth softened.
“Hi-Hi. It’s good…”
As she was sobbing, her body completely relaxed, he picked her up and laid her on the bed.
Finally, she kissed Eun-ah’s forehead with her lips and came out of her bedroom with Eun-ah in her arms.
“Awww!”
“···This guy. “It’s quiet during the day, but it cries at night.”
She extended her hand to her daughter, who slapped my chin with her tiny palm. The moment I poked at the meaty cheeks that looked like steamed buns.
“Kyaha!”
Euna, who was cooing, tried to grab my finger. Her tiny hands kept grasping at the air.
“Haha.”
Seeing their cute appearance made me feel playful without realizing it. At that time, I was dodging Eun-ah so that she wouldn’t catch her, and I was poking her cheek.
“Ahh! “What are you doing to our Eun-ah!”
Helena, who was doing prenatal yoga in the living room, came running towards me. She took Eun-ah away and held her in her arms.
“Yep. Our princess. Did her dad stab her and it hurt? “Do you think it hurts?”
My reddened cheeks continued to flutter, and it didn’t stop even after a minute.
“Awww!”
“Aaaaah! “You’re so cute!”
Maybe my motherly love exploded after I got pregnant, but I seemed to like Eun-ah more than I did.
‘I never thought Helena would have such a quirky side.’
My cold-hearted personality has really changed.
From the moment I told him there would be no more regression, it was nice to see him become more lively every day.
‘···Maybe that was his original personality.’
I realized once again how much pain her long life as a regressor had been for her.
At that time, I was watching Helena playing with Eun-ah, humming her nose.
“Amma!”
“Uh···? Bah, what did you just say? Siwoo, you just heard it! Euna said! Eun-ya, mom, try it! Mom!”
“Myamya?”
“Aaaaah! Yes, Eun-ya! You are my daughter now! Ahaha!”
I was surprised too, but nothing compared to Helena. Seeing her so happy that she even screamed, all she could do was laugh.
***
One day, the days were so enjoyable that I was sad that morning would come.
I opened my eyes while meditating alone in the training room.
“Ah.”
A sigh came out of me at the sudden realization. Right now at this moment. I felt that the realm of life and death was perfectly established within me.
At the same time. I had no choice but to face the truth that I unconsciously felt but had ignored.
‘···I will live a very long time.’
At least a thousand years. I sensed that we would be living a long, distant time for humans.
The state of life and death took my senses to a new level. As a result, I was able to see the energy of life, which was no different from the lifespan, and the number of my life was ridiculously high.
It was easily dozens of times the weight of an average person.
“No matter how low you put it, a thousand years.”
He quietly muttered about the absurdly long time. This was also the minimum. It was difficult to imagine how long I would live if I reached a certain level along the way.
When I think about what kind of civilization humans have achieved in the past 2,000 years A.D., I can feel how long ago it has been.
Living long is a good thing. Of course it’s good…
I couldn’t forget one worry that naturally came to mind.
‘What about my wives?’
How long will they live? Since they were all of a high level, they could live for about two or three hundred years, but that was the limit.
There is nothing permanent in this world. I didn’t even want to imagine the sense of loss that would inevitably come.
It’s fate, should I accept it and give up? Is it best to just cherish each remaining day and live your life to the best of your ability?
‘Nope.’
I didn’t want to submit to fate. I wanted to be with them forever and ever. I wanted to postpone the end that would come someday as long as possible.
At the very least, I hoped that each other’s lifespans would be similar. If the end came someday, I wanted to greet it by lying in bed together and holding each other’s hands.
“···Okay. “That’s right.”
Fortunately, there is no way to extend lifespan. One thing was even actionable right now.
‘Elixir.’
A heavenly elixir that restores your youth the moment you drink it. Using this, you can go back to your early 20s.
However, the price of elixir increases tenfold every time you purchase it. In many ways, it was insufficient to be considered a fundamental measure for longevity.
“Hmm.”
I logged onto the general store and looked for it, but strangely, there were no items related to lifespan.
Without giving up, I looked for a while and found something that had some potential.
[Random district admission ticket]
The world is wide, so isn’t there a way to extend lifespan somewhere?
I stood up with determination.
I gave myself over to the dazzling flash of light, looking forward to what kind of world would unfold next.
