Din, Don, Din, Don.
It is the moment when the sun is at its highest point.
The cathedral bell rang throughout the capital city.
The sound of the bell signaled that Princess Victoria’s wedding parade began.
The path that leads from the castle entrance to the town square was full of people living in the capital.
All the people waving the national flag seem to be excited.
Especially on the east side, they were very frantic.
Because at this moment, Victoria and her fiance, an earl, appeared on top of a carriage being pulled by a white horse.
[Kyaa! It’s the princess!]
[Congratulations Princess!]
[Victoria-sama! Please say hi!]
The women lined up along the way blessed them with flower petals. White, red, pink. The colorful petals danced in the blue sky.
(Fufu, I feel great… yes, this is, this great ovation… ..)
With a charming smile, Victoria gently waved her hand at the people.
[Princess! She really is very beautiful….!]
[She is the treasure of our kingdom!]
She is used to receiving compliments.
However, she felt better than normal when she looked at a large crowd of people from above the carriage.
[Wow, yes all of them is very excited. Everyone is excited for you, my princess]
The man standing next to Victoria said that with a sweet smile.
The man’s name is Emil Auclair.
He is the eldest son of Duke Auclair, and Emil himself also received the title of count.
[Hm, what are you saying at this point. I am the one everyone loves. You are just an extra]
[Hahaha. My beautiful princess. You are a very tough person as usual]
With a smile on his face, Emil slightly moved his beautiful hair.
Emil was perfect as the princess’s marriage partner, both in social status and in appearance.
Although it is somewhat forgiving, but it does not even reach Victoria and her narcissism.
But, Victoria looks down on Emil from the bottom of her heart.
The reason lies in Emil’s disappointing nature.
[My mother was very happy when she found out that I will marry you! I did my best just like my mother said, it was more than obvious that our marriage was very close! I realized that you had seen me three times the night of the party. It’s because my mother taught me!]
(Haa… .to think that from now on I will have to listen to the words of this disgusting mommy’s boy….)
For what reason would Victoria, with her great pride, marry Emil to endure such humiliation?
It was because she wanted a son more than anything else.
There is only one way that Victoria who does not have the right of succession to the throne, managed to get the kingdom completely.
It is a means of giving birth to a son, putting him on the throne, and taking controlling her son.
As a tool to accomplish that purpose, this man was reasonably convenient.
He was an idiot who can’t think of anything, and at the moment his appearance wasn’t bad.
If my child was born ugly, even if it is order to take control, you may have to kill him.
(Heavens… .that a man like this who only praises his face became my husband. If it were just the appearance, the hero was more of my preference)
Victoria ignored her fiancé who was still bragging about her mother, and thought of the hero Raul who died a year ago.
A simple man. A fool who would even sacrifice himself for the good of the world.
But there was a core to it.
When she first met Raul in the castle before he went to defeat the demon king, Victoria was fascinated by Raul’s worthy eyes.
She wanted to dirty his gaze someday.
It was also at that moment that such a dark desire welled up in Victoria’s chest.
(My Raul. You were my favorite. And you died so easily)
But, the fact that this man was put to death by her own, made her excited every time she remembered him.
She still remembers the expression of despair she saw in Raul when he understood that he had been betrayed.
(Hey, Raul, why did you refuse to be mine?)
Looking back at the memories with Raul and smiling, the carriage that carried Victoria and Emil arrived at the plaza.
[Well my dear. Your hand]
Victoria was escorted by Emil to the altar.
In front of the people who gathered, a great ovation rose.
Victoria with a satisfied expression, looked around the plaza.
The people gathered. A splendid altar prepared for this day.
Behind the altar are members of the royal knights who protect the sacred ceremony.
[Today the royal knights look wonderful!]
[Yes, they look very reliable]
Where people cast their admiring eyes, it was the figure of the knights wearing shining golden armor and white armbands.
They are the royal knights of Kurtz. An elite unit that has sworn allegiance to the royal family.
Among the young nobles who have knowledge of the literary and martial arts, only the best are selected.
It is the most powerful unit in the royal army.
[Oh? More importantly, look at that! There is the saint, Christiana-sama!]
[And next to him is the great magician, Wendell-sama!]
[To think that I can see the heroes who saved the world in this way… ..!]
Hearing the voice of the people, Victoria directed her eyes there.
On one side of the stage. At the bottom end of the royal aristocracy was the figure of those who once formed a group with the hero Raul.
However, they were part of the group until they had betrayed Raul.
Victoria narrowed her eyes slightly and pressed her teeth together.
(What annoyances they can’t read the atmosphere…. I can’t forgive them for attracting more attention than I did this time… ..)
She conspired with them to bring down the hero.
But, i never thought of them as allies.
(Once this marriage is over, the first thing I will do is turn them into corpses)
However, now, I had to remind people of the main purpose of this occasion.
Victoria looked at the people and smiled silently.
Only that.
The people misunderstood that the princess was laughing at them, and raised a great ovation.
[Long live the princess!]
Voices rise from people.
(Take a good look at it. These people, this great kingdom too! Everything is mine! That’s right! Even this world is only mine!)
The world belongs to no onlll.
If you have a good sense of humanity, that is an irrefutable fact.
However, the arrogant Princess Victoria has not noticed.
(I’ll get everything. Everything except that man —– Raul, Everything….!)
Her glory days will begin from today.
Today’s ceremony is an important step to reign on top of the world.
——Then the ceremony began.
Three priests dressed in white robes bowed to Victoria and Emil.
The priests used the ancient traditions to give the blessings to the marriage of the two.
First, the man on the far right put his golden staff over their heads.
[God, offer eternal happiness to this marriage]
Then the man in the middle poured holy water into a golden bowl.
[God, offer these two well-being]
And finally, the man on the far left walked in front of Victoria.
You couldn’t see his face well because the robe covered him deeply.
The words given by this priest are the most important in the ceremony.
These are very sacred words, “God, grant the future child of this kingdom eternal blessings.”
Even the people who were cheering until then were silent in an instant.
The entire square is covered in majestic silence.
(Well, say the words!)
Victoria waited for the holy words, a pale smile on her mouth.
However, the words conveyed after that—–
[“Blessed her highness, the princess”]
Different words from the ceremony were heard in a fresh and familiar voice.
However, she couldn’t immediately recognize whose voice it was.
(…… Wait. What does this mean?… ..What are the words now …… ah)
Victoria took a breath.
『As they raved with a high fever, everyone repeated the same words” “Blessed her highness, the princess”』
So is. They were the words that Sandra said to her before going to the parade.
(A coincidence….? No, there is something strange… ..)
In front of Victoria, the priest put his hands on his robe.
The priest’s hands that were exposed to Victoria’s eyes were young and bright.
(A young man…..?)
Slowly, the priest removed his robes.
What was exposed to the blue sky was black hair and light purple eyes.
[…… ..]
Victoria was very surprised that she kept her eyes wide open.
Even involuntary voices rise from the surroundings.
[… ..This-Is… ..impossible… ..]
That man put a smile on his face.
He applied distorted pleasure to Victoria who thought she was the best face in the world.
And gesturing playfully, he made a small bow.
[How has it been, princess?]
Victoria felt her cheeks loosen.
She couldn’t believe what she saw before her eyes.
But, he is definitely there.
[A lot of time has passed]
[Th-That can’t be… ..! You should be dead…..!]
[That’s right. You betrayed me and executed me. But, I have returned from the depths of hell. In order to get revenge on all of you]
—–The hero Raul.
The man Victoria was madly obsessed with and was supposed to have killed in the end, stood in front of her.
