The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 173

Chapter 14. Epilogue

Time flew by once more, and it was already May.

Spring, when the whole world is in full bloom with flowers, had arrived.

Surrounded by Inanna, my mother, and several maids, I was receiving the finishing touches of my makeup.

A cream-colored wedding dress with gold chiffon lace of a transparent material like butterfly wings, and shoes of the same color.

After putting on the delicately woven veil, it finally felt like I was getting married.

“It suits you so well.”

“Just as I imagined, my daughter.”

Inanna and my mother smiled contentedly, showing me the mirror.

I was a little shocked, to be honest, because I looked so beautiful in the full-length mirror.

‘So, this is what it feels like to be cared for and have bridal makeup done so meticulously, making a person radiate from within!’

I couldn’t help but admire myself in the mirror and expressed my gratitude to everyone.

“Thank you for celebrating my marriage. I’m really grateful to all of you.”

“Lastly, you must wear this diamond necklace.”

At that moment, Nina came in with a necklace.

I had a few diamond necklaces, but I was planning to wear a ruby today to match the color of my eyes.

So, I tilted my head, and then I saw the initials written on the outside of the box and exclaimed, “Ah.”

“This is…….”

“It’s a gift from His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince. I found it while organizing the gifts that came in early and brought it here.”

Nina proudly opened the box.

As soon as she did, light erupted from inside the box.

It was truly… a dazzling necklace.

“This is a necklace that has been passed down through the Imperial Family for generations. It’s called the Angel’s Love.”

“His Imperial Highness put a lot of thought into it.”

Inanna and my mother each said a word.

I stared at the necklace for a long time before reaching for the letter lying beneath it.

Now that we can no longer send messages with water, I’m sending a letter.

The first line was written in neat handwriting.

From that, I could picture Yuri holding a pen with a calm face.

The first thing I need to say is, congratulations on your marriage. Congratulations on your marriage, Noona [older sister – term of endearment]. I sincerely hope you will be happy.

After reading this far, I wanted to read the rest slowly in a quiet place.

Carefully, in my dress, I got up and walked to the window.

Perhaps because the letter was several pages long, no one bothered to follow me, allowing me to read it alone.

That medicine to sever the attachment, it’s really strange. After drinking it, the obsession that was raging like wildfire inside me completely disappeared.

Is such a thing possible? Then, were the impulses I felt before all a lie?

I’ve been so caught up in that confusion that I haven’t even gone to see you yet.

I’m sorry.

But I still can’t go see you today, Noona.

I sincerely think I’m congratulating you, but I’m still confused.

Then, did I really like Noona a little bit?

It was a sentence that showed Yuri’s worries.

Since he is so cautious, he must have worried alone for a long time before writing this.

So, I wouldn’t be upset even if he didn’t come to my wedding.

Ah, this necklace was made by an emperor from several generations ago for his sister.

I don’t know exactly, but maybe I really liked Noona as a Noona.

Not as a romantic feeling, but as a familial love.

That’s what I’m thinking for now.

That’s why I’m sending this as a gift.

I told the servant to put it among the other guests’ gifts because I was worried you’d feel burdened, but I don’t know when you’ll find it.

I found it before the ceremony, no less.

Nina’s eye for detail is amazing.

And after that day, the disappeared.

It must have been because it fulfilled its role.

From here on, the handwriting became a little lighter.

It must be because Yuri finished with a lighter heart.

I folded the letter and turned around.

“I have to wear that necklace. It’s a gift from my brother.”

“Ah, I’ll prepare it right away!”

The diamond matched the dress perfectly. As if it were made to match.

Now that I was all dressed up, all that was left was to wait for the entrance time.

Ian must have been ready long ago.

“Um, Florin…….”

At that moment, a welcome face appeared with a knock.

It was none other than Belladi.

“Belladi! Welcome!”

“You look so pretty. It suits you so well…….”

Belladi smiled shyly and came over to hold my hand tightly.

I’m so glad that the misunderstanding with Belladi was resolved.

After learning that I loved Ian, Belladi and I became even closer.

“This is a gift. I drew the light of your soul.”

“Wow……! A painting by the great artist! I’ll hang it in my office. Thank you!”

In fact, Belladi confessed that she was greatly shocked by seeing the color of ‘Rahin’s soul.

The situation itself had changed, so she didn’t even think that Rahin was fake, but she said she was very sad to see her fall from grace overnight.

I was momentarily lost in admiration as I looked at the large painting filled with sparkling and vibrant colors.

“By the way, Belladi, are you really going to the Paladin headquarters?”

“Yeah.”

“You’re so devoted.”

Belladi likes Dante.

She said she didn’t mind waiting a long time.

Instead, she couldn’t stand being apart, so Belladi decided to become an artist who paints the 모습 [appearance/figure] and heroic deeds of the Paladins.

With her unique artistic sense of light and original style of painting.

I could only cheer for my friend.

When Belladi visits, the news that I got married will naturally be conveyed.

“The bouquet is so pretty. It suits you well, Florin.”

“Really? Ian made it himself. You have to catch it well later, Belladi. You’re the only one I’m giving this bouquet to.”

I hope your love will bear fruit someday.

I hope you will be as happy as I am.

With that wish, I held the bouquet in my hand.

It was time to enter the wedding hall.

‘Ah, cheerful music. I like it.’

Our wedding largely followed tradition, but we filled in a few places with a young and sophisticated sensibility.

The most representative thing is the music in the wedding hall.

I didn’t like anything solemn.

Next is…….

“Florin.”

A red-haired man in a white dress was waiting at the entrance of the wedding hall.

I approached him without hesitation and linked arms with him.

This was another slightly different part.

Usually, you go in holding your dad’s hand.

But even today, my dad didn’t come back.

He’ll probably be very upset if he finds out that I had the wedding first… As a countermeasure, Ian and I agreed to have another ceremony in the Arkhalik style later.

“Today, you are breathtakingly beautiful.”

Ian bent down and whispered in my ear. I smiled like a flower and lowered the veil that I had been slightly raising.

“Now, the bride and groom! Enter!”

The door opens wide.

All the guests stood up from their seats and watched us.

Ian and I greeted the guests with eye contact and took one step, one step forward.

There were so many guests that the path to the officiant was very long, and during that time, I recalled memories from my very young childhood.

From when I was a small and weak baby weasel, to the day I was recognized by Grandfather, the head of the family, to the day my father gave me a magic wand as a gift.

And the day I met Dad…….

All of that floated up like bubbles and disappeared with a pop.

What remained after that was Ian, who had become an adult.

Finally, standing in front of the officiant, I held Ian’s hand tightly. Then, he gently intertwined each of my fingers.

“I still vividly remember the day I first met you… I’m seeing the day when you are united as a couple like this.”

The officiant was none other than Father.

Father, who was dressed as 멋지게 [splendidly/impressively] as the groom today, opened his mouth in a low voice.

“Florin, do you recognize Ian as your husband and live happily ever after?”

“Yes.”

“Ian, do you recognize Florin as your wife and promise to make her happy for the rest of your life?”

“Yes.”

Ian’s voice was low and firm.

Father twitched his eyebrows, but soon declared that Ian and I were officially husband and wife.

As soon as he did, golden fireworks created by magic burst above Ian and my head, scattering glittering powder.

쿵쿵쿵 [thump thump thump – sound of a heartbeat].

My heart beats wildly with happiness.

Soon, I turned my back to the audience to throw the bouquet in front of the guests.

“Belladi, I’m going to throw it!”

After completing this ritual according to tradition, the next was a long and long reception.

I closed my eyes tightly and threw the bouquet with a smile on my face.

“…….”

But no matter how long I waited, I didn’t hear applause or Belladi saying that she had received the bouquet.

Puzzled, I tilted my head, and then, a voice I had never heard before tickled my ear.

“My daughter. My baby.”

The trembling voice belonged to a middle-aged woman.

A very elegant and kind tone.

And a touch that wrapped around my back.

Unable to bear to look at her face, I asked.

“M…… Mom?”

“Yes. It’s Mom. My daughter……!”

How could such a miracle happen?

I gasped for breath, feeling as if my throat was blocked.

Then, finally… I faced my mother.

My mother, who was round and cute like me, had a much gentler impression than me and had kind eyes.

“I’m glad I’m not too late, daughter.”

Next to her was my dad, who had safely rescued her.

‘Ah, my eyes…….’

Both of them have tears in their eyes. I was also crying.

Because I was happy, because I was happy, because I was sad about the days I spent without my mother, because I was happy to see her.

Tears welled up for many reasons.

It was a day I couldn’t be happier.

The End
