***

 

Bang, the door closed with a sound.

 

Even after being kicked out, Serenthia looked pleased.

 

Hearing the woman’s triumphant voice echoing through the corridor again made him feel like his inner peace was being shattered.

 

He unconsciously fidgeted with his fingertips.

 

‘There’s no way light flowed out. It must have been that woman’s optical illusion…’

 

But still, wasn’t that woman certainly a peculiar existence?

 

The moment that woman’s hand touched his, his body had tingled – could there be some problem with that too?

 

Moreover, when he recalled her face smiling brightly just from holding his hand, he felt a dull ache in his chest.

 

“Irritation, auditory hallucinations, and now heart problems?”

 

Being with that woman, he seemed to be becoming a patient.

 

Raphael raised his hand and touched the tip of the sansevieria that Tein had brought.

 

Due to the light flowing from his fingertips, the plant withered again.

 

And then…

 

“You, until the day you die…”

 

…Just as the familiar hallucination was about to be heard, it stopped abruptly.

 

As if someone in his head had forcibly terminated it.

 

What filled that space was Serenthia’s cheerful voice.

 

“Raphael Kairozen, you have no choice but to like me!”

 

In that moment, Raphael’s lips stretched taut, neither smiling nor crying.

 

“I’m going crazy.”

 

The taste of the chocolate that woman had given him, which had sweetened his entire tongue.

 

From just a brief contact of fingertips, the feeling of all his senses tingling throughout his body.

 

Raphael was a man who had lived his entire life controlling himself and remaining numb.

 

To put it the other way around, even the slightest sensory contact…

 

“…Damn it.”

 

It meant that changes in his body occurred on their own.

 

However, regardless of his damn senses, the marriage with that woman would proceed step by step.

 

Because Raphael Kairozen himself had chosen to do so.

 

***

 

A few days later, in the Southern Region.

 

It was the first social season of early winter.

 

Entering the venue where the party was being held, Evelyn wore an expression of excitement.

 

Evelyn quickly approached the ladies who were having a conversation.

 

“Oh, you’ve arrived, Lady Evelyn?”

 

“Yes, what were you discussing?”

 

One lady welcomed her with a bright smile.

 

“We were talking about the biggest topic of this social season!”

 

“Ah, the biggest topic…”

 

Surely it must be about herself, right?

 

She bashfully swept her hair back. But…

 

A lady who was well-versed in gossip spoke with sparkling eyes.

 

“The engagement of His Grace the Grand Duke Kairozen!”

 

“It’s also the marriage of Lady Serenthia Rosemary, who is Lady Evelyn’s sister!”

 

At that moment, Evelyn’s eyes hardened coldly.

 

But everyone was too absorbed in the gossip to notice.

 

“Moreover, Chairman Pasan of the Kairozen Council has imperial blood mixed in! For him to be the godfather! It’s practically a connection to the Imperial Family!”

 

Evelyn tightly gripped her fur dress while hiding her expression that was about to contort.

 

‘Why is sister receiving the attention that I should be getting?’

 

Though her superiority complex-filled stereotype that her sister was inferior and she was superior was hitting the wall of reality, Evelyn smiled brightly.

 

Still, it was fine.

 

The protagonist of that wedding would be Evelyn herself.

 

She smiled slyly while recalling her father’s message.

 

“Oh, do you all know about the great five Divines that symbolize each region?”

 

“Of course!”

 

Except for a very few, they didn’t know exactly what animals they were.

 

But the story of how those five Divines contributed to the empire, led by the Imperial Family, the Ducal Family, and the Three Marquis Families, was a very famous legend.

 

“But why bring up the Divines suddenly? They disappeared into history long ago.”

 

“Actually…”

 

She lowered her voice and blushed her cheeks most lovingly.

 

“Count Rosemary, Evelyn’s father… has obtained a flower of the Divines. He gave it to me as a gift!”

 

“What did you say…?!”

 

“A, a flower of the Divines?”

 

Everyone’s eyes instantly grew wide.

 

‘The flower of the Divines.’

 

As everyone knew, just before the demon war broke out, all the Divines disappeared without a trace.

 

But the items they had blessed still remained, wandering the world.

 

‘Father obtained it for me! So I could shine even brighter than sister at sister’s wedding.’

 

To think she possessed a flower with the power of the ‘Divines.’ All attention immediately focused on Evelyn.

 

“My goodness. Such sacred power…”

 

“Yes, it’s sacred power!”

 

When Evelyn smiled brightly, everyone paid attention to her beauty.

 

Displaying brilliant beauty, Evelyn smiled lovingly.

 

“I’ll reveal the flower of the Divines to everyone. Right at the Northern Kairozen Family’s wedding!”

 

She smiled as cheerfully as a flower garden while looking at the gentlemen escorting her.

 

“Well then, shall we dance now?”

 

Her dance card was instantly filled with the names of various young nobles.

 

She was truly the center of society with a flower-like demeanor.

 

***

 

The next morning.

 

Serenthia was busy preparing for the wedding.

 

Today’s task was organizing the card list of guests attending the wedding.

 

While cheerfully organizing the guest list for her wedding.

 

Serenthia discovered a very shocking fact.

 

“What is this?”

 

She had received several replies to the wedding invitations, and the content of the responses was generally peculiar.

 

[I hear Lady Evelyn Rosemary will reveal something amazing on the wedding day?]

 

[I’m so excited… To think she’ll reveal a ‘flower of the Divines’!]

 

Judging from the general context of the letters, it seemed Evelyn had announced during the social season that she would reveal a flower of the Divines at my wedding.

 

I muttered ‘honestly.’

 

“Hmm… This is really pissing me off…”

 

“I’ll say it again, that’s not being honest, that’s your mouth running wild.”

 

“Anyway, I became honest.”

 

“You even became shameless in an instant. Is this a side effect of regression?”

 

“Well, it might be because you gave me too much courage.”

 

“That’s… true. Anyway, you’re definitely angry, right? Should we really get revenge? How mean!”

 

“I’m angry.”

 

“Of course you would be. Evelyn will get attention instead of you, the protagonist of the wedding…”

 

“No, I don’t think of myself as the protagonist of the wedding. And since a wedding is everyone’s celebration, I don’t mind if everyone gets attention together. But…”

 

“Hm?”

 

“At the wedding where Raphael and I should be happy together, I’m so angry at her mindset of wanting to become the main character and get all the attention. …So, Grandpa Squirrel.”

 

“Uh… I mean, why.”

 

I had just gained a very sudden realization.

 

My eyes flashed with light as I firmly grasped Squirrel’s tail.

 

“Come to think of it, Grandpa, you’re one of the Divines, right?”
