chapter 139
139. Newlyweds
After proposing to the other children, Ian, who came to Shiira for the last time, was slightly embarrassed by her blunt attitude.
Like the heir to the Assassin’s family, she already had all the information. The fact that Ian promised to marry Stella, and the fact that he was additionally proposing to other children.
“Why am I the last?”
“Are you feeling bad because it’s the last time?”
“yes. bad.”
“It’s the last time, so maybe it’s more meaningful?”
Ian knew what he was saying was nonsense. It’s not strange to hear a dog whistle right now… … .
However, Shira’s reaction was different. Perhaps the bullsh*t was eaten, she sincerely accepted that it was more meaningful because it was the last time.
“Yes. It’s the last one, so it’s more meaningful.”
“Yes? right.”
“So, Ian- The first was stolen, but until this life wears out and disappears into the other side of the twilight— Take care of me?”
She said so and laughed softly. Ian nodded, thinking that they had all proposed to those who continued through this.
* * *
“It’s too much!”
“what.”
“I thought you were going to marry me!”
Ian, who turned the wedding invitations around, realized that sending an invitation was just as difficult as proposing.
hahaha, the only close friends Ian could have with him were the women who wanted to connect with him regardless of his own will or the will of his family.
Ayre, who had just received a wedding invitation to marry someone else, had tears in her eyes, arguing with Ian and listening.
“and! I’m a senior and an older sister, so why use half-words!?”
“Now what… … When did the academy collapse?”
“Still, your senior is your senior, and your older sister is your older sister!”
“Are age and education more important than title?”
“Ah-!”
Hearing Ian’s comments, Aire kept her mouth shut. In fact, he used to argue like this, but it was true that the title of nobility was more important than the relationship between seniors and juniors or age.
Ayre was the daughter of a duke, but Ian was a marquise. By marrying Stella, wouldn’t he also have the title of Duke of the Iritz family?
As a duke and marquis, at least it was in a position that could not be compared with the current Aire.
“Still, though… … !”
When Ian had nothing to eat, Aire, full of anger, stomped her feet and surrendered herself to her emotions.
Looking at her like that, Ian patted her hair as if she was cute at all. She was as short as a head and a half, so it was easy to do.
“profit! Be prepared! Be prepared!”
“Okay. See you on the wedding day.”
Watching Ayre disappear while kicking her feet, Ian sent out wedding invitations to other people as well. Not only the emperor, the princess, but also the other four great dukes or X who can’t remember their names… … to your classmates.
After distributing the wedding invitations, Ian realized that his network of people was very thin. Most of them were people I met at the academy, and even 90% of them were women.
‘I don’t have a boyfriend… … This is not a world where men and women are reversed.’
It’s just that he didn’t have a relationship with a man. Here, Ian headed home for the last time. As demons appeared and destroyed all of Clark’s estate.
* * *
Arriving at the main house, Ian opened her mouth and looked down at the estate.
Is it the power of a summons, or is it the power of magic? Clark’s estate, which had collapsed, became incomparably grander than before.
‘This is enough for a small and medium-sized city.’
Seeing the manor that had grown to the level of a small city with more than tens of thousands of people, Ian was dazzled to see if it was his manor that he had seen only a few months ago.
However, the imperial wing flying across the continent cannot be confused about this. Ian immediately landed in the garden of Yeongjuseong – the lord who saw the imperial flight wing jumped out and greeted Ian.
“Ian!”
“Long time no see. father.”
“ha ha ha! If I had known you were coming, I would have been preparing!”
The horse seemed to welcome it, but it had thorns inside. If I had known I was coming, I wouldn’t have jumped on tabi… … .
Ian lightly passed on his father’s words and asked about the land that developed.
“How did all this happen?”
“what… … Oh, you mean Youngji?”
“Yes.”
“Who was my son?”
“… … Is it me?”
“The hero who defeated the Demon King, the princess’s fiance, and the academy’s savior! There are people who have invested in whether such a brave man’s estate should be a country where livestock dung… … .”
At the word investment, Ian’s eyes immediately turn sharp. Investing after seeing your own name was like using your own name.
Seeing Ian’s eyes, the baron started waving his hand as if it had never happened to Ian’s imagination.
“of course! No one asked for anything with money or anything like that! If they were like that in the first place, they wouldn’t have received an investment… … .”
“Then what did you see and invest?”
“Um, as you know, there is a cave dug by the demons near the territory. I want to use those oysters commercially—”
From what I heard, it was said that he wanted to put a railroad in another world. Once Baron Clark is roasted and boiled somehow, the rest of the problem is no big deal – he invested in the Baron.
‘After all, it’s right to write my name.’
Ian felt a little offended by that fact, but thought it was the price for taking his child and passed it on lightly.
He even explained the purpose of coming here.
“I am getting married.”
“Oh, oh- finally. okay. The demon king is also dead, and there is no danger, so the time has come. Be well.”
“… … Aren’t you asking who you’re with?”
“Who are you with? You are already engaged to the princess—”
Seeing Ian grinning, the baron felt a bit uneasy and prayed that it wasn’t what he was thinking.
However, Ian nodded and confirmed that the baron was right.
“I’m marrying Stella.”
“Stellarani, who is that… … .”
“Oh, you don’t know. This is the daughter of the Duke of Iritz.”
“… … Whoa, you are a decent person.”
He was a baron terrified at the fact that he had dumped the princess and married another woman, but he was relieved to know that he was not the daughter of a commoner or a low-ranking aristocrat.
What- If it is the daughter of the Duke of Iritsu, isn’t she one of the four great dukes of the Empire and one of those who can survive even if she points at the emperor?
It was reassuring to marry such a duke’s young-ae.
“Oh, and- I also decided to marry Noah, the second daughter of the Erebus, and the eldest daughter of the Acacia, whom I had come to.”
“… … What?”
“A man told me that he should have at least Samcheoksajeop.”
Hearing that his son is in a big marriage since his first marriage, the baron looked at Ian with an expression on his face, not sure whether to punish him or respect him.
The decision didn’t take long.
“Son—you are a man.”
“thank you. father.”
I can only praise him for being my son.
* * *
The wedding was held modestly.
Usually, when it comes to aristocratic weddings, it is usually held in a grandeur so that most of the estate knows about it – but after hearing the news that my daughter had to be sent as a second wife and concubine from the first marriage, people from her family suggested reducing the size of the wedding.
For Ian, it was a proposal that was not too bad, and in the end, only about a hundred nobles gathered for the wedding.
“Let’s keep it simple… … .”
“This is modest enough. I only called my relatives and really important people.”
Hagi, there are four wives coming to the ceremony. Even their relatives alone already number more than a dozen. I had to be happy that there were only a hundred of them.
Ian went up on the stage to meet people who looked at the fact that he was taking four wives from his first marriage, and the father-in-law who was angry at the fact that he was taking my daughter as his second or fourth wife.
[Today, something truly incredible happened.]
The moderator tried to explain how much of a thief Ian was. Needless to say, the people present here knew it very well.
[Marquis Ian, who is alone with four wives, I will support you.]
Of course, some married men took pity on Ian. Because having four wives was such a terrible thing.
Ian looked at the four wives who appeared in front of him in a dress. It was really beautiful.
“Uh, how are you?”
“Do you like it? Ian!?”
“If you don’t like it, I will kill you.”
“Hey, how are you going to kill me? on the bed?”
Even if four women babble one word at a time, their ears start to hurt. After kissing each person on the back of their hand, Ian officially registered the four of them.
After that, they went on their honeymoon. Towards a superb view somewhere on the continent.
* * *
A married life that was harder, harder, and happier than I had ever imagined passed.
Ian finished his rough work and went out onto the terrace of the office. The fresh air made my head, which had been hardened for a moment, spin.
“Whew… … .”
I take a deep breath and look at the scenery of another world. It looks like I’m too used to it now. Even though I was wary of getting used to it more than this.
Around the time I felt that I couldn’t be late anymore – the existence Ian had been waiting for came to me.
—Ian Clark.
“Blue dragon.”
-It’s just like you said.
“Did you see that now?”
-Yes- As the matter was a matter, it was necessary to confirm and verify it over and over again.
Swipe- The blue dragon, who had changed into a human form and sat on the railing of the terrace, opened his mouth lightly.
“I have found the way to heaven.”
Upon hearing this, Ian smiled.
Now, the time has come to finish everything.
