Meanwhile, in the groom’s waiting room, Kizef was sitting quietly on the sofa, sketching a flowering tree by the window.
Eva would be shocked to see that his suit was wrinkled, but the preparations were already over and the family who had come over to say their greetings went their way.
The only ones who he has yet to see the faces of were the Duke and the bride, Luciel. At the thought of Luciel’s appearance, a faint involuntary smile appeared on his lips.
Although she was a contractual marriage partner, he and Luciel had a lot of happenings in a short amount of time.
He was astonished to learn that the little girl jumped in danger to save him in the Academy case.
Luciel was a child who looked so fragile that his protective instinct arose naturally. When she fell asleep and couldn’t wake up, he prayed without realizing it.
‘Please, just let her wake up…….’
What would life be like, if there was not Luciel?
That’s also not the only thing.
The letters that came in the name of Ted gave him strength.
When he found out that Ted’s identity was in reality Luciel’s pen name, he was more relieved that ‘Ted’ was not a man rather than the fact that she deceived him.
However, sometimes when he thinks of Luciel, something soft, mellow, and sweet will gently touch Kizef’s heart. Something like the sweet cotton candy that the child ate. It shone brightly enough to make him forget for a moment the darkness he had inside.
Kizef drew a little rabbit under the flower tree.
A white little rabbit.
It was a small and fragile thing, but the heart was strong and comforting. It was clear that she captured not only the hearts of both his father and his mother but also of Bellstein.
So he now has to protect Luciel. It started with a contract, but in the end, it became a family. Kizef tapped the rabbit in the picture as if he was tapping Luciel’s cheek, and couldn’t hold back the laughter that leaked out.
“…I see you didn’t forget that it was your wedding.”
It was a slow, low voice that made Kizef’s hand stop.
“Father.”
Kizef put down what he was sketching and got up from the sofa. Louivid came over and trimmed Kizef’s wrinkled clothes with his own hands.
His fine line resembles Soliaphe, but the dazzling blonde hair, strong red eyes, and well-groomed features are all from Louivid.
Louivid grabbed his son’s shoulders and raised his lips as he looked at the young boy.
“I thought I was the most handsome Bellstein, but I have to hand over that spot.”
“…What?”
Kizef tilted his head as if puzzled. His father wasn’t someone who complimented looks.
“Now that you are married, move your residence to the married couple’s private wing.”
“……What do you mean a couple’s private wing?”
Kizef’s eyes widened for a moment. He slightly scratched his neck at the unexpected remark and said nothing.
“The child will still need the care of a maid.”
The Duke swallowed a big laugh at Kizef’s words.
“Is this because the wife is too young? Then her husband will have to look after her.”
“……”
The Duke teasingly glanced at his son and patted him on the shoulder. Kizef’s ears were dyed red. Louivid was informed that as soon as Kizef returned to the Castle, he had met Luciel.
‘You’re not honest.’
As he left the room, he said.
“Now I have to escort your bride. You should go too.”
* * *
“Luciel.”
In front of Luciel, who was quietly waiting for the time to leave, Louivid rolled up the curtain and came in.
Seeing him, Luciel burst out a bright smile like a flower bud.
“Your pink suit looks so good on you, it goes really well.”
He was wearing a very bright pale pink suit, and although it was contrary to the usual chilly atmosphere, it suited him very well.
It was customary for the bride’s father to wear a pink suit, but Luciel’s father could not attend, so he was wearing it instead.
“Hmm, is that so?”
Feeling a bit embarrassed, but feeling good, the Duke put his fist in front of his mouth and coughed in vain. He already knew that Luciel was cute, but she was very lovable in her white wedding dress. Unmatched by dolls and angels.
Seeing Luciel looking up at him, Louivid’s eyes melted like honey.
“……Our new daughter-in-law cuteness is not of this world.”
The Duke moved his body by the wave of emotion and accidentally hit the wall, cracking its surface. Not only Luciel but also the maids waiting behind her were also surprised.
“……F-Father-in-Law. Are your hands okay?”
Luciel’s face suddenly became tearful.
“……It’s okay.”
Although his fists tingled a bit, the Duke put on his gloves as if nothing had happened. Then he came to his senses and gently hugged Luciel.
“Let’s go, Luciel.”
“Yes.”
Luciel was carefully held in the Duke’s arms. The maids behind were restless for fear that Luciel’s dress might be wrinkled, but they couldn’t say anything because they were in front of the Duke.
The Duke held Luciel and strode up to the swan garden where her wedding was located. The sunny wind of June was refreshing.
It was a secret wedding where only the immediate family of the Bellstein and close employees gathered.
It was the start of a happy day.
The swan garden was decorated in a neat and pure atmosphere, and the peonies and roses were decorated with sky-blue hydrangeas, white calla, and lily of the valley to match the cute image of the bride.
Dressed in a pure white suit, Kizef slid his blonde hair to one side, revealing a glimpse of his forehead. Thanks to this, the tall nose bridge and dense facial features seemed to stand out more.
He was so tall that it was hard to believe he was thirteen, and his suit matched well with his stature.
“Kizef is becoming more and more like his father day by day.”
Evelyn whispered to Soliaphe with a proud face.
“That’s why he’s a little Louis. He really looks like Luciel’s father-in-law when he’s dressed like that.”
Soliaphe said while holding back her laughter. Evelyn also agreed.
“I know. By the way, they look really good together.”
“Sister is so pretty. I want to marry Sister, too!”
“Leoni, sister is already married. Let’s find another lady.”
Soliaphe laughed as she patted Leoni.
As she saw Luciel getting married Bessie wiped a tear from her eyes, and Rose was excited looking at the meeting of the century between a handsome and a beauty.
A duet of calm piano and violin rang out. The Duke took Luciel’s hand and walked the Virgin Road. Then he handed over Luciel’s hand to Kizef.
Luciel, who gave a quick side look at Kizef, widened her eyes in surprise.
‘Is it because his hairstyle has changed? It’s like a different person.’
Today, Kizef was so handsome that she could believe he was the prince of any kingdom.
It’s the first time we met today since the last cotton candy incident. Is that why?
Looking at Kizef, who was so tall and handsome, Luciel’s face turned bright red because she was ashamed for being too small and young.
“…What’s the matter? Are you sick?”
Kizef’s red eyes fell on Luciel and he asked with concern. In the whispering words of his breath, his voice was more kind than usual.
“No.”
Luciel struggled to calm down. She fixed her face and calmed her mind.
‘I’ve come all the way here. I’m proud of you, Luciel. This is the result of your efforts. Contract marriage!’
Of course, this marriage is a means of survival for a rosy future. I took the first step on a long journey. Now that I am married, I can safely prepare for the future in the next 8 years.
Avoiding the eyes of Marquis Cavill and the Crown Prince, turning gems into power, stabilizing mana, and protecting Bellstein.
That was Luciel’s ultimate goal.
Cicline, Max Hamel, and now Erika. Now, there were no problems because people were gathering to help her one by one.
‘When it comes time to leave Bellstein, I will quietly go my own way.’
When Luciel suddenly shook her thoughts and lifted her head, Gillard was looking at her with warm eyes. A bright beam of light from the tip of his staff reached the two of them.
“……Blessings have been given to both of you. I wish the groom and the bride only happiness in their future.”
After Gillard congratulated the two children, he took the ring out of the small box for both of them.
“It’s a pity to miss the gifting time, but this grandfather prepared a small present.”
It was a neat ring studded with diamonds as small as sesame seeds, but the names of the two people were engraved on the inside.
“You will be able to move to each other at once, wherever you are.”
Kizef put the ring on Luciel’s little finger. It looked like it was going to be very big, but it was enchanted with magic to change according to the user’s size, and it fit perfectly when Kizef put it on her.
‘I guess it’s enchanted with a spatial spell.’
Luciel also put the ring on Kizef.
Leoni, who was in charge of the flower arrangement, sprinkled pink petals on the two of them.
Those who were seated got up, blessed them both, and applauded. It was already time to dance the waltz, which marks the end of the wedding. The difference in height between the two led Kizef to bend his body deeply and reach out his gloved hand.
“Can you waltz?”
“Yes.”

Luciel nodded her head and they clasped each other’s hands. When he spread out their palms for a while and compared the sizes, Luciel’s hands were too small.
“It’s really small.”
The white and soft thing looked like a tiny rabbit’s paws. In particular, it resembles a snow hare that can only be seen in the Bellstein province, where the climate is cold. The Snow Rabbit was smaller than the normal rabbit and had fluffy fur.
“ …You still have a long way to grow up. You look like a snow rabbit that hasn’t grown up yet.”
“…….”
