On a mild autumn day, the sky was exceptionally high and blue.

And on that day, the wedding of Sasha Winchester, the Empire’s first saint and the duke’s daughter of the Winchester family, took place.

Her marriage partner was the new head of the Taylors ducal family, which had long been at odds with Winchester.

Evan Taylors, the one who had experienced twenty-seven regressions and one death to achieve the most brilliant present.

“Loosen your expression.”

As Hector passed by Recardo’s side, he quietly advised, but Recardo’s expression only became more fierce.

“Tsk tsk, no matter how much you don’t want to let her go…”

Clicking his tongue, Hector ascended to the podium as the officiant of the wedding.

Their wedding venue was filled with the four great families and their subordinate nobles.

Even though the ceremony was held outdoors, it seemed there was no room to step.

“I am here to announce the union of these two people, brought together by the great Mechius.”

As Hector’s voice resonated, all the guests looked expectantly at the central aisle covered with a silver carpet.

“Will they appear from there?”

“Fool. It’s that way.”

“But the Winchester people, they really don’t have horns, do they?”

Among them were children who had played with Sasha at the Taylors house last time.

“Hmm, I wonder what kind of dress she’ll be wearing.”

“Don’t even mention it. I heard rumors that it’s the most beautiful dress in history.”

The young ladies who admired and followed Sasha were also making a fuss.

‘…Miss.’

The servants of the ducal family, including Robin and Maya, who had watched Sasha grow up, were equally tense.

Sasha Winchester had brought about a change unprecedented in Winchester.

The icy atmosphere of the ducal family before her birth had become as lively and fragrant as the Erasinis garden, and with her brilliant mind, she had helped with household matters from the trivial to the significant.

Above all…

“That’s…”

People suddenly looked up at the sky.

Countless paper airplanes were flying from the hill.

The people of the Empire, children, were standing on the hill, launching paper airplanes.

One of Sasha Winchester’s greatest achievements was the distribution of the new medicine.

The new medicine, made by diluting the elixir and mixing it with effective ingredients, cured many who were suffering from diseases.

People who had been unable to do anything due to illness and were sinking into a quagmire gained the will to live through the new medicine she distributed.

The same was true for their children.

Sasha Winchester had saved the world from Phersetos and saved people with the new medicine.

Children flew paper airplanes as a sign of gratitude to her.

“Beautiful…”

Hector muttered unconsciously with a pleased expression.

In the midst of this beautiful scene, the orchestra began to play.

Their marriage was taking place amidst the deep blessings of all people in the world.

“…My goodness.”

“…Ah…”

While Evan Taylors’ handsome appearance, stateliness, and noble yet charming atmosphere also drew people’s admiration…

“I can’t believe it.”

Everyone who saw Sasha’s appearance lost their words.

“…Wow…”

“So pretty…”

Her appearance in a beautiful wedding dress woven with silver thread exuded beauty beyond imagination.

Like a goddess descending from the blue sky to the earth, light shone with her every step.

Her silver hair, beautifully braided and gathered, revealed her increasingly mature dignity, and her face, with gleaming emerald eyes, a straight nose, and red lips gathered delicately, was as beautiful as any work of art.

Her beauty was so unreal that she might have been mistaken for a doll if not for the faint smile on her lips.

The full skirt of her dress swayed gently in the wind, softly enveloping her body.

Standing in front of Evan, Recardo kissed the back of Sasha’s hand before letting her go.

“….”

Evan, with slightly furrowed brows, took the hand of his precious one who had come to him.

They could feel through each other’s eyes.

That today was the most overwhelming day in the world for both of them.

“….”

People marveled at the sight of Sasha holding Evan Taylors’ hand.

It was the appearance of the most beautiful couple the world would ever see.

The union of Taylors and Winchester, historically been at odds.

They had constantly disparaged each other, calling each other villains and hypocrites.

But seeing this sight, all that history seemed meaningless.

It was a marriage that symbolized not only the reconciliation of the two families but also the harmony of the Empire.

“……”

Jin quietly stood, watching the backs of the two.

Sasha’s appearance was heart-stoppingly beautiful.

So it was unavoidable that his chest ached a little.

‘Congratulations, Sasha.’

Jin looked up at the sky where paper airplanes were floating.

He wondered if that guy was watching from somewhere, too.

Suddenly, he became curious.

***

As I entered the Square after finishing my shower, Evan was sitting on the bed wearing a thin shirt and pants.

Startled, I rolled my eyes around, surveying the surroundings.

Today is our wedding night.

I tried to… prepare myself mentally, but when faced with the actual situation, my mind seems to go blank.

Was the lighting always this seductively red? Why is the bed sheet so pristinely white?

“……”

Still, I can’t turn back, so I should approach.

I clenched my fist, determined to get through tonight safely.

Yes, it’s something everyone does… we’re married now after all.

As I took a step forward, Evan suddenly stood up from the bed.

I flinched again and stopped in my tracks.

“……”

The solemn determination from earlier had completely vanished from my mind.

‘What should I do…’

Evan had a fresh, cool scent.

Thump- thump- thump-

My heart kept pounding, and I couldn’t look him in the eye.

Evan slowly reached out his hand towards me.

“……”

I closed my eyes without realizing, but I didn’t feel any particular sensation.

When I slightly opened my eyes, I met Evan’s gaze as he brought his face close to mine.

“You look like you’ve seen a wild beast.”

A teasing remark slipped through his smiling lips.

Somehow embarrassed by his seemingly mocking words, I cleared my throat and brushed past Evan, plopping down on the bed.

“It’s just, it’s the first time we’ve been together at night.”

Heart, stop showing off. I’m making a fool of myself.

I leaned back against the headboard, pretending to be calm.

Yes, the deed doesn’t necessarily have to happen on the wedding night.

“I’m not bothered at all. Of course not.”

Evan, who had been watching me, raised the corner of his mouth in a smirk and then leaned his upper body towards me.

Soon, I heard the rustling sound of his knees touching the soft bed.

“Not bothered at all?”

Under his jet-black hair, Evan’s blue eyes were holding my gaze captive.

As I tried to subtly avert my eyes, he lightly kissed my lips.

Then he looked at me like a coy cat.

As if expecting some kind of reaction from me.

“……”

Soon, Evan’s voice was heard again.

“Your cheeks are so red and your lips are so hot, I hope you…”

Evan’s lips came close to my ear.

My heart raced at his whispering voice.

“…are expecting the same thing as me.”

My hand twitched involuntarily.

He kissed my lips again.

It was a deeper kiss than before.

Evan’s hand slowly traced my jawline.

“Actually, ever since I saw you in that dress, I’ve been having inappropriate thoughts.”

I looked at him with wavering eyes and asked.

“Don’t tell me… even during the wedding ceremony…?”

At my question, his eyes flickered.

After letting go of Recardo’s hand, Evan’s hand that I held was particularly stiff.

Instead of answering, he kissed me deeply.

He explored my lips like a thirsty person.

His breath entangled with mine, and his hand grasped mine, which had lost its hold.

I soon fell completely onto the bed.

Evan’s eyes, as he leaned over me, were shining like a truly hungry beast.

His face was flushed and his breathing was a bit faster than usual, but his hands were calm and precise as he unbuttoned his shirt.

Broad shoulders, firm chest muscles, and well-toned abs… his perfect body was revealed.

“…Evan…”

Having unbuttoned his shirt, he came to kiss me again.

It was an indulgent and terribly sensual kiss.

My mind was enveloped in a white-hot heat.

This feeling was a first for me.

His rough voice reached my ears.

“I love you, Sasha.”
