The sight of Ordel and Lute walking hand in hand side by side was truly perfect.
When a gust of wind blew and stirred Ordel’s hair and the hem of her dress, everyone burst into exclamations.
They had known it before, but seeing them at the wedding ceremony, they were an even more perfectly matched pair.
The two who walked along the flower-strewn path reached and stopped before High Priestess Airic, who was waiting in front of the pure white altar at the end of the path.
Even Airic, who had always disapproved of Lute, wore a gentle smile across his face today.
“Please place your hands together on the altar.”
At Airic’s gentle voice, Ordel and Lute looked at each other for a moment, then smiled and placed their clasped hands on the pure white marble altar.
And as they had been told beforehand, Ordel slowly released her divine power, while Lute released his magic mixed with divine power.
The brilliantly shining golden divine power and white divine power mixed together and melted into the altar.
The altar made of holy stone began to glow little by little in response to the two powers.
The guests burst into exclamations at the mystical sight.
Ordel, who had been watching the responding altar, was the first to speak.
“Holy Maiden Ordel announces to the Sun God that she takes Lute Sieri as her husband. Lute Sieri will be my one and only soul companion, and I vow that we will be together until the day our breath ends.”
When Ordel’s vow ended, loud applause erupted.
Now it was Lute’s turn.
“Lute Sieri announces to the Sun God that he has been chosen by Holy Maiden Ordel to become her husband. As Holy Maiden Ordel’s one and only soul companion, I will support Ordel for life, and I vow that even when my breath ends, I will love only Holy Maiden Ordel.”
People covered their mouths at the much more blind and blatant vow than Ordel’s.
If Ordel had made a vow about sacred marriage as a Holy Maiden, Lute had made a vow only for Ordel alone.
At that naked emotion, Ordel smiled brightly as if she was very pleased.
For the two of them, it was a natural and obvious vow, nothing surprising.
“You have both made vows before the Sun God. God will always remember your vows, and always keep in mind that divine punishment will fall if the day comes when you break them.”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
Ordel and Lute nodded greatly at Airic’s words.
Then Idella approached carrying a tray with a velvet ring case.
The pair of rings that Ordel had made for the proposal were finally revealed to the world.
People burst into exclamations at the beautiful pink diamond rings that perfectly resembled Ordel.
Only then did everyone realize that the wedding dress had been made to match the rings.
Ordel and Lute placed the rings on each other’s ring fingers.
Lute, who had shared the pair of rings side by side, clasped her hand with a choked-up expression.
Though he had only taken it off briefly for the wedding ceremony and had been wearing it continuously since the moment he was proposed to, putting it on again in this place felt truly special.
The joy of finally being completely bound as one colored his entire body.
People applauded loudly toward the newlyweds bathed in happiness.
“Then the vow kiss will be omitted due to time constraints…”
It was the moment when Idella tried to skip one part of the ceremony taking advantage of the commotion.
Lute, who absolutely couldn’t stand that sight, strongly pulled Ordel’s waist into his arms.
Their bodies pressed close together. Lute’s gaze looking at his nearby lover was intense.
The gentle atmosphere was nowhere to be found, and at the temperature that instantly became hot, people stopped clapping and made a fuss.
Even amid the commotion, Lute looked only at Ordel.
“Thank you so much for coming here, and for loving me. Since I’m no longer a duke, I’ll live only for you from now on.”
Lute whispered in a gentle voice.
At his sincere words, Ordel smiled contentedly and caressed his cheek.
Lute turned his head and kissed that palm.
“That’s a good resolution. You can’t let that heart change.”
“It won’t change, so you can’t abandon me either. If you abandon me, I’ll spread out a mat in front of Daesinjeon and just cry for days and nights.”
“That’s a really scary threat.”
Ordel burst into laughter.
His lover’s beautifully curved eyes made his heart flutter like a wedding gift fallen from heaven.
Unable to overcome the joy of finally being connected as one, Lute bent his upper body and kissed Ordel.
Unable to overcome the urgent momentum, Ordel’s waist bent slightly backward.
It was such a hot and passionate kiss that adults had to hurriedly cover the eyes of children nearby.
“Do you like stamping your mark in front of people?”
When their lips finally parted after a long while, Ordel whispered in a voice full of laughter.
Lute, who hadn’t yet escaped from the afterglow of the kiss, nodded with a half-melted expression.
“Yes, I love it so much.”
For Lute, it was the best kiss.
Bang!
Then a sound like fireworks exploding came from the sky.
Ordel and Lute, who hadn’t prepared any fireworks, opened their eyes wide in surprise.
At that moment, petals made of light shining in pink, gold, and white began to pour down over their heads.
“This is…”
Ordel reached out her hand with a dazed expression.
These weren’t simple petals.
They were sacred light containing the power of the Sun God, Sea God, and Eternal God.
“It’s God’s blessing!”
“God must be celebrating the Great Holy Maiden’s wedding!”
The guests who belatedly realized this fact burst into exclamations.
It was literally a divine miracle.
【’Raging Sea’ sends congratulations for the wedding.】
【’Traveler Guiding Souls’ claps with a proud expression.】
Messages appeared one after another before Ordel’s eyes, who was dazed from receiving an unexpected gift.
She had wondered why the gods were unusually quiet, but she never thought they were preparing such a gift…
Then a petal of light swept by the wind brushed past her ear.
[Be happy, my beloved child.]
Carrying the brief voice of God.
At the voice containing the hot sun, Ordel unconsciously covered her ears with her hands.
“Oh, really…”
They really know how to move people to tears.
“Come, let’s go.”
Ordel pulled Lute’s hand.
The two walked together along the flower path where petals of light fluttered.
At the divine miracle they witnessed with their own eyes, people shed tears and clapped until their palms were raw.
The couple who reached the end of the flower path kissed once more under the scattering petals.
It was the moment when a couple of the century that would remain in history was newly born.
* * *
The wedding reception continued late into the night.
Bizra, who came alone representing the royal family, unexpectedly got along quite well with Carmen, the Holy Maiden of the Sea God.
People were shocked at how well both of them could drink, pouring brandy into wine and drinking merrily.
Of course, even those two couldn’t compare to Jin’s drinking prowess.
Jin, who joined late, knocked both of them out in a completely drunk state.
People who were particularly intimidated by the charismatic Jin once again realized the greatness of the Holy Maiden of the Eternal God.
Airic and Seth tilted their glasses with Holy Knight Dominic of the Sea God, while the trio of Idella, Monica, and Jeremy were already drunk and sprawled in a corner of the garden using each other as pillows.
Trisha and Mikhail also left their baby with nanny Karen and enjoyed wine while having a leisurely time after a long while.
Since the invited guests and wedding attendees were enjoying themselves well, now it was time for the newlyweds to spend their own night.
“Why am I getting nervous over this?”
In the Holy Maiden’s bedroom.
Ordel, sitting on the edge of the bed that would soon belong to the couple, wiggled her toes.
Though she had already spent several passionate nights with Lute, the excitement of the wedding night was different.
“Ordel.”
Then Lute came out of the bathroom.
Ordel turned her head and unconsciously gaped.
“…Good heavens.”
Rute, wearing a silk gown, had a red scarf tied around his neck.
And it was the lace twilly scarf that the two of them had recently made fashionable!
At the sight of him looking as if he had wrapped himself up as a gift, Ordel couldn’t close her mouth.
“Do you like it?”
Rute smiled seductively.
How could she merely like it?
Rute had worn lace twilly scarves a few times for fashion, but he had never once worn a red scarf until now.
Why hadn’t he done it before? He should have tried it long ago.
Red suited him so incredibly well!
“When on earth did you prepare this?”
Ordel couldn’t take her eyes off Rute, who was kneeling familiarly before her.
The flowing scarf suited Rute so perfectly it was breathtaking.
“From the day you proposed to me.”
Rute smiled gently and kissed each of Ordel’s fingers one by one.
At the hot breath touching her fingers, she heard something snap somewhere in her mind.
Ordel immediately pulled Rute toward her.
Rute watched Ordel looking down at him with satisfaction and bit the end of the scarf with his mouth.
“It’s a gift I prepared for you, so use it as much as you want.”
“What, the scarf?”
“Anything.”
Rute lightly stroked the inside of Ordel’s wrist.
Yes, whatever it was, Ordel was confident she would make very good use of the gift Rute had prepared.
“Be careful not to untie the scarf.”
When Ordel warned him earnestly, Rute burst into delighted laughter.
Then he suddenly raised his upper body and devoured Ordel’s lips.
It was a kiss incomparably hotter than the one at their wedding ceremony.
“I’ll always try my best. So that you’ll keep loving me.”
Rute whispered in her flushed ear.
At the hands that gripped her entire body tightly, Ordel let out a long breath.
“…You don’t need to try so hard. I’ll love you even if you don’t.”
“But you’ll love me more if I do.”
“….”
Ordel didn’t answer.
Instead, she only kissed Rute’s lips deeply.
The sound of their laughter scattered between their touching lips.
The night that belonged only to the two of them, filled with nothing but joy and happiness, had just begun.
Fin.
