I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 230
When she turned her gaze forward, she saw Gerald looking magnificent in his black formal wear.
As Roanna took a step forward, Marine also followed, slowly moving her feet.
The distance between them was gradually getting closer.
Thump thump. He was always handsome, but today he looked even more handsome than usual.
“How handsome someone’s husband is.”
Marine exclaimed without realizing it.
Roanna, who was walking the Wedding Road together with her, heard Marine’s words and firmly suppressed the laughter that was about to escape.
Though she was her own daughter, she couldn’t feel even a hint of nervousness.
On the other hand, Gerald stood frozen stiff like a rigid piece of wood.
The woman walking from afar, dazzlingly white all over, would soon become his bride.
Through the white veil, their eyes met directly.
Gerald’s chest swelled with emotion and he couldn’t breathe properly, so he clenched his fists tightly.
To look so angelic like that. What if someone steals her away because she’s too beautiful?
As a chilling aura emanated from his body due to his undeniable anxiety, Sebastian who was nearby cleared his throat and gave him a warning.
“Ahem. Please stop, cough. Your aura. Cough. Tone it down. Cough.”
Gerald quickly came to his senses at Sebastian’s advice and suppressed his aura.
However, his sharp, gleaming eyes remained vigilant against even a speck of dust approaching her.
One step. One step.
Marine walking toward him so gracefully was too slow, so Gerald couldn’t stand it anymore and went forward to meet her.
Roanna, who had been walking beside Marine, smiled brightly and gripped the stone tightly in her hand, then handed her daughter’s hand to Gerald.
“Please take good care of her.”
“Yes.”
Gerald extended his hand to Marine, and Marine placed her wrist on his hand with a light tap.
At her action, his face that had been rigidly frozen with tension relaxed like magic.
“Your wrist?”
“Ah, it’s become a habit.”
After Marine spoke with a voice full of laughter, she gently grasped his hand first. Gerald also firmly gripped her hand.
A moment later, when the priest’s wedding ceremony ended, the two faced each other.
Gerald lifted her veil back with trembling hands.
Her clear light green eyes were looking at him completely.
Gerald couldn’t take his eyes off her and whispered.
“Marine. In sickness and in health…”
How fortunate he was to have met this woman.
When he was blind and consumed by pain, enduring each day, he had resented the sky.
However, since he was able to meet her because he was blind, now he felt only gratitude.
“And in loneliness or in fulfillment…”
Gerald continued speaking slowly, feeling his throat tighten slightly with emotion.
Only after meeting her could he realize how lonely a person he had been.
Marine looked at him with sparkling eyes and continued his words.
“Gerald, when we’re sad or happy…”
Meeting him, she had laughed a lot, cried a lot, and been very happy.
“Even when we grow old and die…”
Now the two of us will never be separated forever.
“We’ll be together.”
“I’ll be with you.”
The two people made their vows to each other simultaneously.
“Exchange the kiss of vows.”
At the priest’s words, their lips met.
Bang. Bang.
Using the blue sky as a canvas, flower-shaped fireworks embroidered the heavens.
Hooray!
The people’s cheers also erupted.
As Marine pulled away from the kiss and tried to look back at the people, Gerald pulled her waist closer.
“Mmph.”
“We couldn’t meet for a week. It’s not enough.”
He briefly parted his lips, spoke quickly, and devoured her lips again.
Marine had no choice but to be held captive by him for quite a while after that.
* * *
After the bride and groom’s kiss ended, a festival was held.
The circus troupe threw balls in the air and caught them, and there were people who held fire in their mouths and breathed it out.
In front of the circus troupe, the specially invited village children Ronny, Mini, Joseph, and Bree watched in fascination.
Bunny Bunny deliciously ate the mountain of meat piled up while vigilantly watching all directions in case someone might steal its meat.
Marine walked around holding hands with Gerald, receiving people’s congratulations.
Elmis and Yulia clapped their hands as if their palms would burst, and the Duke’s Castle Knights also raised their beer mugs and cheered.
The four nephews dressed in pretty dresses and tuxedos scattered flowers on the two people.
“Congratulations!”
‘Congratulations, little one.’
The congratulations from the nephews who resembled his sister felt as if his sister was congratulating him.
“Thank you.”
Gerald’s eyes trembled slightly. Without realizing it, his gaze turned upward to the sky.
Was his sister watching from up there?
Meanwhile, Priana, who had dabbed her tears with a handkerchief, and Surenne, who had boldly wiped her eyes with her sleeve, approached them. The surprising fact was that both friends were quite tearful.
Marine warmly embraced her friends who had shed tears profusely at her wedding.
It was then that Zeromian, Oliver, Sebastian, Page Head Maid, and Idre also approached to offer their congratulations.
Neigh-
A carriage decorated with flowers entered the festival grounds.
News, the one-eyed coachman who arrived before Gerald and Marine, got down from the carriage and bowed his head to Gerald.
“I greet His Grace the Duke.”
Gerald, recognizing News, frowned.
Surenne, who was standing behind, also waved cheerfully at her friend.
Could that possibly be?
“It’s a congratulatory gift from the Sanders Empire.”
At News’s words, Gerald’s expression immediately crumpled.
“Get rid of it right-”
“What is it?”
When Marine asked with a curious face, News quickly opened the carriage door.
Then the candies that had been packed inside the carriage came tumbling out onto the floor.
The village children saw the pouring candies and shouted “Wow!” in excitement.
“Ha.”
Gerald let out a hollow laugh as if he was dumbfounded.
Marine also looked at the candies with an absurd expression before bursting into laughter.
She seemed to hear the voice of the 3rd Prince who used to call her ‘Sweetie’.
“This too.”
When News held out a card, Gerald quickly took it.
“It was sent to the young lady.”
“Duchess.”
Gerald corrected the coachman’s words and opened the card.
[Sweetie, I can’t say congratulations on your marriage, but if you ever break up, you can come to me anytime.
– Sanders Empire Crown Prince, Tan Leoram Sanders.]
Marine stood on her tiptoes and peered over.
“What does it say?”
“Waste of paper.”
Gerald crumpled up the card and threw it with all his might. The round crumpled card flew far past the forest.
News watched this scene and withdrew with a smile. It was always entertaining to see his superior get worked up.
Gerald soon bent his waist toward Marine and whispered subtly.
“Now that we’re married, shall we go to the bedroom?”
“What?”
Marine’s eyes widened as she looked around. With all these people here? So suddenly like this?
Gerald suddenly pulled her waist tightly into his arms and shouted loud enough for everyone around to hear.
“You’re feeling dizzy?”
Marine’s eyes grew even wider as she asked back in confusion.
“What?”
Gerald frowned and began acting with a shameless expression.
“It seems you’ve overexerted yourself preparing for the wedding.”
“What?”
Marine asked again with a dumbfounded expression.
“Let’s go rest now.”
“What?”
Marine stared at him with a questioning “What?” expression rather than an affirmative “Yes.”
However, he had already swept Marine up in his arms and was quickly making his way through the crowd.
Marine had no choice but to wrap her arms around his neck and whisper so only Gerald could hear.
“Is it okay for the Male Protagonist to deceive people like this?”
“It’s been a while since I heard the term Male Protagonist.”
Gerald’s lips curved into a gentle smile.
“Because you’re my Male Protagonist.”
Marine looked up at him lovingly.
“So does your story have a happy ending?”
“Of course!”
The two looked into each other’s eyes and smiled happily.
From now on, their story would be a happy ending forever.
-The End-
