Chapter 543 – Side Story – Wedding
“You’ve come a long way.”
When I slightly put my head out and looked out the window, I saw countless people filling the garden of the mansion. Each and every one of them is a famous person whose name you might recognize.
It is only natural that they are big names like the Emperor of the Levantine Empire, the Sword Master, the Queen and Chancellor of Alfheim, and the King of Nidavalir. Although they did not stop by in person, there were quite a few royals from various small countries who had sent wedding invitations.
Of course, there are people who call me purely out of friendship…
As I said, they are Rebecca, who stopped by while leisurely wandering the world, big professors from the academy who are close friends with Iona, Fay’s father Lorcan and his associates, the Pope of the Church of Light and the leader of the Holy Knights.
Since they are people who do not get discouraged even in places like this, it was inevitable that the faces of the employees who served them would turn dark.
“It seems like everyone has arrived and it’s time, so shall we get started? “Is everyone ready?”
“Sure. … But is this really true?”
“Did you change your mind in the meantime, Tarla?”
“No. Well, it’s not that I don’t like it… “I wonder if it’s really okay to be like this.”
Tarla tilts her head. Iona giggled as she hugged her from behind.
“It’s okay, it’s okay! Looks fun, right? Everyone will love it! After all, who would say anything to a Yandel student?”
“That’s true, but… “Anyway, could you please stand a little further away, Professor?”
“Sobbing… “Tarla, I’m a nuisance!”
“The professor approached me so unhesitatingly…”
“Sad! Sad! My wish to get along well from now on is being ignored! Comfort me, Carla!”
“Yes? Yes “Come here, Professor!”
Iona pretends to cry with tears that won’t come out, and Carla comforts Iona to her tune.
At the sight of the two, Tarla let out a sigh and gently patted Iona’s back.
“… “That’s enough now, right?”
“Tiring! Tarla’s favorability has increased by 1!”
“Because it didn’t come up?!”
Iona is playing around as if she’s been waiting, and Tarla is jumping up and down in denial.
The time we spent together was still short, so Tarla was a bit clumsy… Same goes for Iona and others.
Seeing everyone getting closer little by little, I don’t think there’s any need to worry.
“Now. That’s all I’ve done and now I have to go out. “Isn’t that the same thing as making you wait longer?”
“Tsk… Ah, I get it.”
“Yep! “It would be perfect to start now!”
Tarla, who pouted her lips but nodded calmly, and Iona, who was full of enthusiasm.
While the other women were completing the final inspection, Soaring Blue had gathered the hatchlings in a row and was giving a speech in front of them.
“Are you all nervous?”
“Oh, no… !”
“First of all, it seems like Elele is nervous! But you really don’t have to worry, so just relax.”
“But we have to stand in front of so many people, right? If you make a mistake…”
“It’s no problem if you make a mistake. “Everyone will enjoy just being able to see the dragon.”
“That’s good, but… They say the dwarves are afraid of us. Everyone said he was a high person…”
“Eight! How many times do I have to explain this to you! “I’ve got everything prepared so you don’t have to worry!”
“I’m anxious because you didn’t tell me what you have prepared… !”
Is not it? Are you just bickering with Elaina?
It doesn’t matter which one. It is true that, unlike legal blue, it can be burdensome for Elayna and hatchlings, who are real mites by dragon standards.
To ease the tension, I patted the hatchlings’ heads once in a while. Finally, after gently brushing Elaina’s gray hair, she opened her mouth.
“Elele. I’m in the lead, so just follow me. Don’t think about anything else. “I practiced hard, so I’ll be fine.”
“… Yes “I will only trust my godfather!”
Elaina nods her head vigorously. With this, it seems like everyone’s mental preparation is complete.
She looked around at her companions. She hasn’t even put on her wedding dress yet, but somehow it feels different from usual.
She grinned and raised her magic power.
“Let’s go.”
Perfect!
Lightly snapped her fingers.
***
Although the main character of the wedding had not yet appeared, all the guests were busy.
After all, it is rare for major figures from the continent to gather in one place like this. Some people simply wandered around trying to make connections, while others attempted political collusion through subtle language.
Although they each had different thoughts, their sentiments were the same.
The scale of the wedding is not large, and the decoration and composition are not enormous… I was surprised at how splendid the people gathered were.
At this rate, even without military power and reputation, the Lindelheit family will rise to greater heights than before.
It’s best to have a friendly relationship and get the beans, but what’s more important is to never be at odds with Yandel…
“Ah! Look at this, Milone! These animal shaped cookies. “I have no idea what animal it is!”
“A duck’s beak and a raccoon’s body…” And the beaver’s tail? It might be a new monster. “It’s cute, though.”
“Iknow, right. “It’s just like when Milone goes for a walk!”
“… Majesty. “You shouldn’t say something like that in a crowd of people.”
Of course, there are people who are not.
She is an elf queen who leaves all the work to her lover and prime minister.
“Hehe. It’s a creature called a platypus. Although it looks like a monster, it is an ordinary animal. Since they live only on remote islands, even elves in the great forest may not know much about them.”
“Wow! As expected, you have a wide range of knowledge because you are an archmage! “I had no idea!”
Or a person like the chairman who has gone into enjoyr mode.
A pre-dinner banquet crowded with so many different people with different mindsets. A place that was almost like a miniature version of the continent of Aurelia was suddenly engulfed in a dazzling light.
“Hmm? This… Holy power?”
“It seems that the saint of the Gwangmyeong Church and God are with us, so they will give us a great blessing.”
“Haha. “I’m grateful.”
A small sun rising in the sky. Everyone thought that this miracle caused by Helena and Solari was a gift for the wedding guests.
… That was only half true.
Bright light creates equally dark shadows. The wedding guest squinted at the amount of light that made it difficult to even look up at the sky. A huge shadow fell over their faces.
“Uh… ?”
“Dragon?”
“Is this Duke Lindelheit?”
A body as huge as Taishan. A harsh atmosphere with scars here and there. And even though there is no particular hostility, a strong presence that tightens the heart.
The moment everyone saw that, everyone realized. No matter how weakened it was by the seal, an evil god is an evil god.
If there were a hero who could destroy all such evil spirits, there would be no one except the dragon in front of us.
“Ugh! Wow! “D-dragon!!”
“Keeeee!!”
“Well, you have to give gold! Bring more congratulatory money… !”
Of course, as usual, the dwarves started having fits just at the sight of the dragon’s shadow… Fortunately, this did not last long.
As Blue said, there was something prepared in advance.
Grumbling.
Flames surrounding the dwarves foaming at the mouth. Although it was a bright red tongue, there was a clear sense of divine power within it.
Crashing steel. He was invited by Solari and Farang to protect his followers. Thanks to this, the dwarves were able to suppress the fear engraved in their instincts before they showed their ugly side.
That’s why I was able to see it. A Dragon Air Show that has never happened before and probably never will again.
Yandel takes the lead and draws a line across the sky, and the mite hatchlings follow behind, painting the lines.
Thus, what was completed was the symbol of the Six Sensin Church and the emblem of the Lindelheit family.
“It’s beautiful… “I never thought I could draw a picture using the sky as a drawing paper.”
“The idea is amazing, but I’m more surprised by the existence of a dragon itself.”
“But. “That proportion is a complete work of art in itself.”
Dwarves burst out in pure admiration, as befits a race with a natural sense of aesthetics. The situation was not much different for others.
“… “Look, is that really breath?”
“I guess that’s right.”
“The power is…”
“Even the breath of the youngest dragon would devastate the capital of a small country like ours.”
Well, some people from small countries who were trying to cling to Yandel somehow were surprised when they saw the power of the God Slayer that they had only heard about through rumors.
Wouldn’t Yandel just think the Dragon Air Show was a bitch? The opening event, which started with the idea of doing something wrong, turned into an unreasonable demonstration of force.
Yandel, who left a strong impression in everyone’s minds, returned to human form as he landed in the garden after the air show.
Paaaaa-!
With a short flash of light, Yandel, dressed in formal attire, landed. He embraced all the brides with wings that had not yet been retracted.
As each person was lowered to the floor, the hatchlings who followed Yandel landed a beat late.
These mites are still showing their tails as if they are still not good at polymorphs. The way he dressed up was so cute that I wanted to bite him on the cheek… No one can be obediently cute.
Just a little while ago, I saw those cute kids blowing out their breath.
Yandel, who received the attention of everyone gathered here, raised the corners of his mouth and spoke.
“Thank you all for gathering. “I feel awkward doing something like this and this is my first time, so shall we say goodbye later and start with the ceremony?”
There are many procedures involved in a wedding, but in the end, it is all about pledging love in front of God.
And here, the goddess of love exists.
“Ahem ahem. “I was in charge of the officiating!”
Soaring blue standing in front of a pre-prepared platform. However, because it was his usual appearance, only his eyes were visible, probably due to his lack of height.
“Now, please wait a moment!”
Blue, who had been walking briskly, picked up an unused chair from between the audience seats and returned.
When I stood up on the chair, it was a little higher this time so I could see up to my waist. Thanks to this, a small exclamation of admiration can be heard from the audience as the appearance wearing a wedding dress is clearly revealed.
“Even the soaring blue?”
“Now I see there is one more Lady Lindelheit.”
“As expected, a dragon. I can’t stand it any longer…”
Yandel said nothing.
It was karma.
