140. Side Story 3. Sien and Acid’s Chaotic Engagement Ceremony (3)

2024.04.02.

With both Matthias and Ted’s permission granted, there were no more obstacles to the engagement.

And so, preparations for Sien and Acid’s engagement ceremony began.

Burger, Martin, Leonhardt, and other acquaintances had quite a bit of influence on these engagement preparations.

“Wow! Shouldn’t we have something like a bridal shower before the engagement?”

“…That’s for when you get married.”

“Ah.”

Burger was being reprimanded by Martin for suggesting various unfamiliar wedding customs.

I smiled as I watched them.

“I’m not going to do anything *too* special.”

“Oh, really?”

Burger and Martin openly showed their disappointment.

Perhaps it was because they hadn’t been adults for very long.

There weren’t any couples getting married or engaged among their close friends.

‘Besides, it’s like their close friends are getting married, so it’s understandable that they’re excited.’

Thinking of their feelings, I smiled.

“It’s not a wedding, just an engagement, but I’m still going to cut fresh flowers and fill the engagement venue with them.”

The moment I said that, Martin’s eyes sparkled rapidly.

“It’s going to be an incredibly extravagant engagement ceremony, right?”

Burger, who was next to him, nodded vigorously.

“That’s right! Because it’s the Mirmord family!”

“Yes, that’s right! It’s going to be incredibly amazing! They’ll even set off celebratory fireworks in the territory!”

I felt sorry for betraying their expectations, but…

“…Um, no! I’m just planning to keep it small and intimate with family and friends.”

I knew that I was from the Mirmord family and a strong candidate to be the next head of the family.

So I knew that my marriage was a union between families.

‘But I want the engagement to be romantic.’

So for me, this engagement, which is a promise of our future, was even more precious than the wedding.

And I wanted to share these precious moments with my friends.

“Burger, Martin. You’ll help me, right?”

They exchanged glances.

Was it because they had been together for so long?

They seemed to have quickly caught on to my true feelings.

“Yes, I’ll help you!”

“What do you want us to help you with first?”

Burger’s expression, which had been slightly gloomy after hearing that we weren’t having a bridal shower, and Martin’s face, which had only a slight blush, changed drastically.

It was as if they had regained their vitality.

***

After that, busy times followed.

With the help of Burger and Martin, we decorated the garden, made small bouquets, and prepared dresses that the muscular maid sisters sewed themselves.

Finally, the day of the engagement ceremony arrived.

The garden inside the Mirmord family’s mansion, where the engagement ceremony was to be held, had a very exciting atmosphere compared to the calm orchestra performance.

That’s because everyone who gathered there was familiar.

They sat at a large rectangular table, chatting boisterously while waiting for Sien and Acid to come out.

First, Leonhardt, dressed in a tailcoat, looked around and said.

“Everyone’s doing well, right?”

Burger and Martin took the next words.

“Wow, we almost died.”

“Really, decorating this garden.”

“Still, it’s really pretty. It must have taken quite a while?”

Burger and Martin, the top contributors who had worked hard to decorate the garden, which was full of landscaping trees, with pink roses, smiled contentedly.

“That’s right. It took a lot of time!”

The Captain nodded and smiled.

“It’s definitely pretty.”

Unlike their bright atmosphere, there were also people who seemed to have a somewhat subtle atmosphere.

Matthias, the host, who was sitting at the end of the rectangular table, and the nervous Ted, Delphia, and Duchess Lucella were among them.

They seemed more nervous than the young friends.

“My child is getting engaged.”

“The young master has already grown up like this. It’s amazing.”

Delphia and Duchess Lucella made a comment while looking at each other.

Matthias was running his dry face with a complicated expression.

“Yes, it’s amazing.”

Just as their conversation was coming to an end, two figures appeared from the wedding arch near the garden.

The orchestra’s performance gradually turned into a subtle atmosphere.

It was the two lovers who would brighten this place.

“It’s Acid and Sien!”

Sien, wearing a mini dress that seemed to be shaped like pink roses, and Acid, wearing a pure white tailcoat next to her, matched surprisingly well.

The garden full of pink roses and the two of them seemed to blend in perfectly with this place.

“Oh my, so beautiful!”

Exclamations of admiration continued one after another.

As the two walked hand in hand through the wedding arch, Duchess Lucella asked Matthias quietly.

“Your child has grown up so much, aren’t you proud?”

Matthias laughed softly.

“I’m proud, but I’m also sad that the child in my arms is leaving.”

It was a contradictory but accurate expression.

As if representing his heart, the orchestra’s performance was also flowing with an earnest melody.

Finally, Sien and Acid crossed the path of the wedding arch and the garden to the rectangular table.

“Thank you all for joining me and Acid’s engagement ceremony.”

At Sien’s words, Acid said without hiding his trembling.

“Thank you to the distinguished guests who attended our engagement ceremony.”

Although they didn’t invite many people, the engagement ceremony, where family and relatives gathered in a friendly manner, had quite an atmosphere.

Sien looked around and smiled brightly.

“Shall we have a cake cutting ceremony then?”

From afar, the muscular maid, Deadri, was approaching with a three-tiered cake.

Matching Sien’s dress, which seemed to be shaped like pink roses, the cake was a simple shape with soft purple cream on a pure white sheet.

A cake that seems ordinary in some ways.

But as they approached, you could see the area around the cake magically brightening.

Martin, embarrassed, blinked and stared at the cake.

“Oh, is that cake enchanted?”

Deadri, who had safely brought the cake close to the table, replied vigorously.

“Yes, that’s right!”

The magic on the cake was to show an illusion as if small flower rain was falling around it.

Sien kindly added to the people who were looking at the cake as if it was amazing.

“The magic disappears when you cut the cake.”

“Wow, that’s a shame.”

At Leonhardt’s voice, which seemed to be sincerely regretful, Sien said in a playful voice.

“But, we have to have a cake cutting ceremony.”

The rule of engagement ceremonies in the Empire was that the guests would share the cake and bless the future of the two people.

Sien smiled brightly, raised the knife, and cut the cake straight away.

It was a simple cutting, but the meaning was deep.

Acid whispered in a thick voice.

“Everyone, please bless our future.”

The sound of the orchestra stopped, and the magic flower rain brought by the cake disappeared.

But Sien and Acid swore eternity in front of the guests who attended the engagement ceremony.

The oath of eternity, which had become stronger over more than a decade, would probably not be broken for a long time.

***

All the engagement ceremony procedures were over.

But for Acid and Sien, who had just become engaged, a new story had just begun.

That is…….

‘A one-night, two-day trip for just the two of us!’

It wasn’t a honeymoon because it wasn’t an official marriage, but since they were engaged, it seemed like they could go on a honeymoon-like trip for a night or two.

‘Dad was angry for a while, but he eventually allowed it!’

In the end, a honey-like trip with Acid had begun.

I smiled contentedly, choosing a travel destination, planning the route with him, and moving.

The travel destination we chose was a warm southern villa owned by the Mirmord family.

When I arrived at the villa, I cheered as I saw the palm trees and the blue sea near the villa.

“I want to go boating!”

“Shall I get a boat?”

“Um, no! It’s only for a night or two, so let’s just… go inside the villa!”

I don’t usually blush in front of Acid.

But usually, it takes courage to say these things.

I blushed for a moment and opened my mouth.

“I want to talk to Acid at night.”

Dad told me to ‘just hold hands’ but…

‘How can a passionate lover do that?’

As I smiled slyly, I suddenly had a thought.

‘……Oh no, is Acid perhaps a clueless guy?’

A deep sense of anxiety arose within me in an instant.

At that time, Acid smiled and took my hand.

“Let’s do it together, whatever we can do at night…….”

At that moment, I realized.

Acid, you’re not clueless. I did……!

After finishing the tacit agreement about tonight, we entered the villa, and we could see the window.

The sunset on the beach was so beautiful.

I suddenly had a thought.

I’m glad I can see this beautiful scenery with Acid by my side right now.

I pretended to look around the small villa and glanced at the bedroom inside the villa.

“You know, Acid.”

But I didn’t even need to start.

Acid took my hand and strode into the room with only one bed.

Acid whispered with slightly flushed ears.

“Change after shower… are you going to do it?”

“Yes.”

I slowly looked into his eyes.

It was an eye as beautiful as the sunset I saw today.

And, I wanted to have him.

***

After a simple wash, I lay on the soft bed, looking at the ceiling.

‘Tonight is the night.’

The moment I can have Acid completely.

Thinking so, my face flushed, and I covered my face with both hands.

‘I’m going crazy…….’

In this space where only the moonlight seeping through the window exists as light.

Even though I covered my eyes, I could hear Acid’s presence.

I held my breath and instinctively noticed him approaching my side.

But I still didn’t have the courage to take my hands off.

Then, Acid’s hand took my hand and took it off.

He looked at me with eyes as if admiring a goddess.

There was no need for questions like, ‘Can I kiss you?’

His lips touched my lips, and we lightly felt each other’s breath intertwined.

When it became so messed up that it was hard to breathe, Acid let go of me and whispered.

“……More, can I do it?”

I blinked my eyelashes slowly and smiled briefly.

“You don’t have to ask that…….”

At that moment, his lips covered my lips again.

This time, he held my shoulders tightly, and even his hands were closer.

Immediately after intertwining our breaths, his fingertips traced my shoulders intimately as if redrawing them.

It was a gentle desire, unlike the time when I first met him.

I closed my eyes and felt all the senses he gave me.

When his senses that had bound me let me go for a moment, I took a breath and said briefly.

“……I’m happy.”

Before all the senses that Acid gave me, I felt like I had him all…….

Acid smiled softly and replied.

“I think I’m the happiest person in the world right now, too.”

Before I knew it, our bodies and minds were intertwined again, and the night was slowly deepening.

It was a time when love was being made.

I finally thought that everything was perfect.
