Chapter 121 – I’ll Be With You for the Rest of My Life!

If it was long, it was long, if it was short, it was a short trip.

And it was the trip that changed the most in my opinion.

At first I thought there might be another way.

Maybe then, I would be surprised to see myself now. Beyond being surprised, you might be anxious about how it happened.

Anyway, at that time, mixing bodies with men was nonsense, and I was eager to find another way.

Of course, no such method existed.

However, it was absolutely not the case that I married a warrior with the mindset that I did not want to die and that I had to sacrifice myself to save everyone.

Because now I love the hero with all my heart.

“Hey, did you go out alone? I said we would help!”

The ladies-in-waiting who were helping me prepare came to me in amazement when they saw me out.

It must be that I’m making a fuss because I’m pregnant right now, and it’s been quite a while since my stomach has swollen.

“Just to get some fresh air… “

“You have to say the word and leave… If something happens, it’s a big deal, right?”

That’s right…

Well, if it’s not a trivial thing, I can solve it on my own.

Even if he looks like this, he’s a great wizard… Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean that your magical skills will disappear.

Still, it was unavoidable that I was worried because I was pregnant.

I leaned against the person supporting me and moved.

“Huh?”

Tak Tak Tak!

When she heard the sound of someone running, she turned her head to see a very familiar-looking woman lowering her stance as she caught her breath.

“Here… There was… “

Cecilia?

“Whoa… Long time no see!”

Cecilia smiled and approached me.

Ho, are you trying to get revenge on me for getting married right away while you’re busy?

In the game… No, because I decided not to mention the game anymore.

When I saw her on her travels, she didn’t seem like someone who would harm me, but I couldn’t help but think of that.

Originally, she was Cecilia who should have been watching the ceremony in the wedding hall, but seeing that she is doing this in the bridal preparation room now.

Although she got out of the bridal preparation room and was walking towards the beginning of the ceremony.

“Stop, saintess?!”

“You shouldn’t come in here… “

She said in a voice that the ladies-in-waiting couldn’t help but say.

I put my hand up to calm her down and looked up at Cecilia. Of course, I didn’t forget to set up a soundproof screen around us so that our conversations could not be heard.

“As expected, it’s Rumia… Fast, fast.”

“Is something going on?”

“No, just… I came to see my friend’s face after a long time.”

Friend face…

Maybe it was because I was stabbed, but there seemed to be a slightly different reason.

I asked a little cautiously.

“That… What are you trying to say if I got ahead of you… “

“He… Do I look like that? That would be a bit disappointing.”

Ah…

Was it too blatant?

“M-I’m sorry… “

“Puhh… “

Cecilia smiled and approached me.

And then he gave me a blessing.

Huh? Blessing?

“This blessing… “

“Congratulations. You seem to be having a hard time, so I’m here to hang you up.”

“Cecilia… “

“Me too… I thought someone was going to die because of so many words about the next female pope of Seongguk, but in the meantime, this chicken-skinned couple was already getting married… “

Muttered Cecilia as she let out a sigh.

Hearing his voice seemed to be very difficult.

She didn’t have anything to say, so she smiled ahaha, so Cecilia looked down at my stomach.

“How many months is it now?”

“Seven months.”

A little over half a year had passed since the demon lord was subdued.

It wasn’t a lie that my stomach was very bloated.

“What’s the deal with getting married so late? Looking at you guys, you would have been married long ago.”

“I was given a title… Settling down in the manor and cleaning up all the mess?”

“I see.”

During that half year, there was quite a lot of work.

Above all, the warrior was given the title of a marquis with a high name because he was given the territory of the outer Marquis because of his power.

It was very difficult to get used to this and that because I suddenly had to sit in the position of the Marquis. Of course, there were many people who didn’t like us, but well, if we twisted them, they would go and catch the demon king and come back.

There may be many nobles who don’t like being a marquis from a commoner, but I’m a veteran adventurer and a great wizard with the alias of a child of a star, and the hero is the only and strongest warrior ever to subjugate the demon king, so no one complained to us.

“That’s why I’ve been busy here too.”

“You’ve been busy with each other. Should I have confessed then?”

“… You still have a heart.”

“I guess so. Do you know how shocked I was when I said we were getting married?”

Ahaha…

“I’m glad you look healthy.”

“Huh.”

“I already have the owner, but I haven’t given up yet!”

Isn’t it bad when you give up?

The words reached the top of my throat, but I held back.

Yes, Cecilia was also the first person she loved after living a closed life as a saint, so it wasn’t strange even if it lasted that long.

What I’m worried about…

“By the way, if it’s the next pope, isn’t there a problem when she becomes a warrior’s wife?”

“That, that… What… I don’t know!”

“I have no idea… “

It seemed so.

Cecilia said that she was going anyway, and she left.

She’s Cecilia. She’s a saint, so it seems like there was no problem with her coming this far, but except for the fact that Ruril traveled with us, she’s an ordinary elf, so it seems impossible for her to come this far.

“Shall we go soon?”

“Ah, yes… “

When I spoke while removing the magic, the ladies-in-waiting gave a small reply.

I’m curious about what we talked about, but I don’t know how rumors will spread if I find out about this.

‘There are a lot of people… ‘

I guess it’s not a wedding…

It’s not even an ordinary wedding, it’s the protagonists who led the world to complete peace getting married to each other, so it’s even weirder if they don’t have a mother.

Above all, the hero is now a marquis… In a way, it was only natural that there were nobles eager to join us.

Looking at things like this, I wonder if a truly peaceful world is far away.

Because when the common enemy is gone, we will fight each other.

As if the ladies-in-waiting were wrong when they said it would start soon, the event was already underway and the time for me and the hero to enter was already approaching.

I haven’t even had a proper conversation yet.

Did I come too late

I couldn’t help it because I was talking to Cecilia.

The warrior reached out and took my hand, so I also held hands with the warrior.

“Are you nervous?”

The warrior asked me at the timing to go in soon.

It’s tension

It would be a lie if it wasn’t.

Even so.

“Yeah, it’s okay.”

I am happy now

Of course, even now, the people I couldn’t save linger in my head.

For half a year after that, most of the places the hero remembered were sent to look for them, but not many people found them.

It was impossible to dig out the castle because of its location.

It’s true that it makes me sad when I think of the people I haven’t saved yet, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to think about it in a happy moment like now.

I wasn’t forced to pretend to be happy.

I could only feel regret and sadness about not being able to save it, but now I felt more than that, I was happy that I was able to spend my whole life with the hero.

‘Really… Can I not go back?’

Right before going back, I suddenly heard the goddess’s low question.

He probably only asked me out of consideration so that the hero or the other kids wouldn’t hear.

Goddess asked me a question.

Even if I could go back, would I not go back?

But I had already made up my mind.

I smiled.

– Groom bride! Entrance!

“Shall we go?”

“Huh.”

We crossed our arms and went inside.

Then, petals flutter toward us, and we hear the shouts of countless people.

As I walked, I felt my heart swell.

The officiant was asking us one by one, but I’m sorry, but I couldn’t hear it. Standing next to a hero in a wedding dress in front of so many people, I couldn’t believe the current situation.

And because I was happy

– As you have just heard, we have sworn to be a married couple who will share the joys and sorrows for the rest of our lives.

– I earnestly pray to God right here and now for a healthy and happy family to last forever.

After the declaration of the officiating speech, the warrior and I looked back at each other.

No, is that why they are called warriors now?

I can’t continue to call him a hero even though he’s my husband-to-be.

All that was left was the kiss of an oath.

The warrior and I looked at each other.

I’m a little nervous because I’m trying to do it in front of everyone.

Still, I’ll have to step in here.

I immediately raised my tiptoe and kissed the warrior.

The hero made a surprised expression, probably not knowing that I would go first.

“Lu, Lumia?!”

“What are you so surprised about?”

I smiled.

The happiest smile in the world.

And,

“I love you, Ian!”

I swore love by calling him by name.
