Chapter 384 - The Marriage of the Century (5)

Swaaah .

Every time a wave washed up against the sandy beach, a cloud of foam would burst and spray out . Drops of water were born from the low waves, and sunlight shone over the clouds .  The aquamarine sea was so beautiful that it couldn’t be expressed in words .

It was an attraction in a distant land .  This was Piris, where all ships of the coastal kingdom, Soldun, passed by . It was the city with the most beautiful beach on the continent .  During the civil war which was several years ago, this scenery had been unknown as Theodore had landed on an uninhabited island far from the beach . Many things had changed in a few years .  

Theodore looked at the peaceful scene and raised a glass cup on the table to his lips .  A refreshing lime-flavored liquid flowed down his esophagus .

“ . . . Mm, this is good . ” Theodore didn’t like the bitter taste of alcohol, but this alcohol fit his taste well . Veronica laughed as she raised the glass at a similar timing . “Really? I know how to make this . If you want to have a drink when we get home, just say it . ”

“What? Becky, you know how to make cocktails?”

“It is a small hobby . Don’t you know my temperament? I can’t get drunk, so I often drink alcohol . Few people know this, but there are some cocktails that were named by me . ”

Maybe it was due to the excuse of taking it with food, but many people didn’t know that ‘alcohol’ was a deadly toxic substance to the body . The blood of a dragon, which broke down all types of poisons with its innate immunity, couldn’t leave that ingredient alone . However, putting aside the context, it was an interesting story .  Veronica was someone who drank more and more of the cocktails because she couldn’t get drunk .

 Theodore laughed inwardly without showing it and looked at Sylvia .

“Hiccup . ”

He was concerned since Sylvia was hiccuping with a red face .

“Sylvia, are you okay? Would you like a cleansing spell?”

“Ah, hiccup .  No, I’m fine . I like drinking and can use the cleansing spell afterward . ”

Sylvia was different from Veronica, whose expression didn’t change even after a few drinks . Cleansing magic was available, but Sylvia didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere .  Clearly, she didn’t want to be treated as a child by Theodore and made excuses . Sylvia leaned against Theodore’s left shoulder, giving off a more bewitching allure than usual .

“Theo . . . ” A lime-flavored voice reached him .

It had been several days since the wedding . At first, the young man and women acted subtly, but they soon became familiar with each other’s flesh . Theodore stroked Sylvia’s disheveled hair a few times and kissed her exposed forehead .

“What, are you playing alone? Huh?”

“―Becky, oof . ”

Veronica kissed his right shoulder and his earlobe, before moving to his lips .  This was an embarrassing gesture of affection in bright daylight . It would be shameful if someone saw her act so blatantly, but fortunately, the area with the table that the three people were sitting at was of the deluxe class . So, they were the only ones in the room overlooking the seaside .

Veronica removed her lips and said in a deep voice, “Hua! It would be better if we were alone, but it isn’t bad to have three people . We have visited the beach of Piris . Where will we go next?”

In response to Veronica’s words, Sylvia asked, “Wouldn’t it be nice to wait for the night sea?”

“Well, is there anything other than a lighthouse on the sea at night? If you want a good night view, Austen’s capital of Edirne is good . ”

“Austen? I thought it was just a desert . . . ”

The two of them had become sisters in a few days . Theodore watched their conversation with strange emotions .

Red and gold, blue and silver… From personality to appearance, there wasn’t one thing that matched . The relationship, which would’ve never become a close one without Theodore, was tangled up by ties of marriage, making the two women family .

‘There are many lessons to be learned from life, even if I am a transcendent who has realized the principles of the world . ’

After the wedding ceremony, every day was new . It was like he was born again every day .  Yesterday, they ate seafood dishes cooked in the East Continent .  The day before yesterday, they visited sophisticated craft stores in the Andras Kingdom . As he promised to his brides, Theodore could go anywhere and do anything . When they thought about what they wanted to eat, they visited the place that day . When they thought about a place they wanted to go, they crossed the continent and the sea .

‘ . . . Come to think of it, it is different from the books . ’

If his past self in the academy had seen it, he would’ve sighed . Unlike during the days when he only saw magic, Theodore now had the luxury of seeing things apart from magic . Theodore looked between his two brides and smiled . “Now, where shall we go?”

Veronica and Sylvia responded like they had been waiting .

“Belfort Harbor! I have to pick up the pendant I ordered the day before . ”

“Then let’s go to Edirne . Sister says that the night view of Edirne is very good . ”

“Okay, then shall we get up?” Theodore left a few gold coins as a tip .

Then the three people raised their bodies from their chairs . It was a bonus to pretend to be drunk and hold each other . Theodore held the waists of Sylvia and Veronica lightly . They were walking down white marble stairs when they encountered an unexpected figure .

“Um . . . ?!”

“Ah . ”

The half a head of white hair and wrinkled face made it possible to imagine the depths of the past years .  The person’s attire was a mixture of eastern and western clothing and was quite unique . That was natural since the person was the head of a family who had moved from the East Continent to Soldun .

They had encountered Baek Jongmyung of the Baek Family .

“It has been a long time, Lord Baek . ”

Hearing Theodore’s greeting, Baek Jongmyung was speechless with surprise for a moment .  Then he regained himself and greeted politely, “It has been a while, Sir Theodore . I didn’t know we would meet again in a place like this . Have you been well in the meantime?”

“It is as you can see . I am better than ever . ”

“Hahaha! A true hero, it is good . Since there was no news that you came . . . ” The quick-witted Baek Jongmyung gathered his eyebrows together in a humorous manner . “This Baek has taken up your precious time . I will tell anyone about this, so please enjoy yourselves . ”

“Thank you . ”

“Huhu, it is a great grace that you are teaching my son . I am looking forward to the future . ” Baek Jongmyung bowed one more time and walked past them . He knew it would be difficult to get involved in the love affairs of young people .

Not long after Baek Jongmyung left, a huge burst of laughter emerged next to Theodore .

“Kuk! Ahahahaha!”

“Huhut, huhuhuhut!”

The two people on Theodore’s arms laughed belatedly after Baek Jongmyung left . They couldn’t help it since the encounter had been so sudden . Each one of them was one of the top five magicians on the continent, so this was a story that might be talked about even 10 years later .

“I-It is really indecent . ”

The two women laughed while Theodore opened his mouth, 「 Transition, Belfort . 」

There were still many places that the three people wanted to go, and time was flowing urgently . Magic flashed as he intended to relax once again . Their honeymoon was still far from over .

*     *     *

Two months passed by .

It wasn’t a long or short period of time with the full moon rising up and descending four times .  In the meantime, Theodore, Sylvia, and Veronica wandered around the entire continent, leaving countless memories .  They saw a flickering aurora .  They searched through sandy wind and found a city of mirage in the sky . They walked in the deep waters of the sea and found the volcanic crater where Brasmati resided, which only Veronica explored .

There were numerous beautiful sights in the world, and the three people saw them again and again .

“The sky is already dark . Shall we go back?”

Even so, they returned to the same place whenever they wanted to rest .

“Yes, I’d love to take a bath . ”

“Let’s go . To our home . ”

Veronica and Sylvia nodded at Theodore’s words and grabbed his hands . The feelings weren’t as shape as when he first experienced it, but the warm body temperature was still conveyed . This was natural for a family .

Flash!

They were now accustomed to the timing and closed their eyes . By the time the flash faded, the three people had already arrived at their destination .  Then in front of Theodore’s party, somebody bowed . He wore plain clothes which had no wrinkles .  With wrinkles and a white mustache that showed he had the wisdom of life, Armand, the owner of the gorgeous old house, greeted the return of the three people, “Welcome back, Master . ”

Theodore had never promised a certain time to return, so Armand came out at a really amazing timing . Was it his half a century worth of experience that made it possible for him to achieve? Having received Armand’s greeting, Theodore handed over his coat . “You got the right timing today, Armand . Do you really have foresight?”

“Huhu, it is just an old man’s intuition . Just like how farmers know if it won’t rain tomorrow and how merchants can smell money . ”

“Then there are too many magicians in the world . I hope I don’t lose my employee soon . ”

Armand smiled at the joke and clapped his hands, calling the maids to accompany Veronica and Sylvia .  Similarly, the maids had considerable experience . The maids took off Veronica’s and Sylvia’s shoes with familiar movements, removing the dust and debris from their hair and clothing . They were afraid to even blink .

‘I am now quite familiar with it, but I can’t help feeling a sense of discomfort when looking out the window . ’ Theodore gazed out the window with a subtle expression .  

Their honeymoon home was located in the birthplace of the Miller family, while the Miller Barony was now under direct control of the royal family .  Dennis Miller had become a marquis and moved with the residents to a new area .  There was no good mining vein here, and the farmland wasn’t wide either . Thus, Kurt III had a villa built on this land .

-It is a place that holds great significance in its own way .  

The king had then sent a few maids and a retired butler . Although Theodore had heard the story, he hadn’t known the villa had been transformed into a honeymoon house .

“Theo!”

Theodore was following Armand’s instructions and heading to the bathroom when he turned back at the voice . Veronica and Sylvia stood on tiptoe at the same time and kissed his lips .

“You know that you are dealing with both of us tonight, right?”

“Are you planning to sleep alone?”

They were soft whispers, seemingly planned in advance .

“ . . . Yes, I’ll be waiting . ”

Satisfied with Theodore’s soft answer, the two beautiful women smiled and stepped back .  They then disappeared with the maids .  Armand, who had been watching the exchange, said to Theodore, “There won’t be any servants walking around the bedroom tonight . ”

Theodore’s eyebrows twitched as he asked, “Armand, what does that mean?”

“I’m just letting you know .  Cough!”

Theodore looked at Armand before looking out the window and sighing .  Was it because he felt that the stars in the night sky were brighter today? His expression darkened as he looked at the stars . There were two months left until Wrath would fall to the ground . Theodore was reminded that the day of destruction was approaching .

The end of their happy days was near .
