The Duke’s Daughter Is the Knight Captain’s (62) Young Wife

The world that has lost its colour, the time will soon pass.

For three days, I was like a corpse watching the fireworks that the country tackled and celebrated in a general outing - without any participation in it, just launching out the window of the mansion on the last day.

At the Founding Festival, I heard it would be announced.

Perhaps you've already found out all over the country. In the near future, Mr. Edward and I are getting married.

I feel like escaping, but I don't know where to run. Because it's already been decided, and I can't refuse it now.

……

In fact - today, it's a wedding.

In front of the mirror, looking at myself in a pure white wedding dress, all I get is a sigh of sigh. It is more than becoming a royal wife, it must not be isolated or anything else. So you only wrap this dress around once in your life.

Even so, there's no joy or anything there. It's just nothingness, it's there.

"Carol, are you okay?

"... Lilia"

Lilia is the one who will be next to me in the pantry.

Father and mother, they say, are refraining in another room. And it's customary to say that admission takes place with your best friend, so I asked Lilia.

I kind of didn't realize, but from today on I'm going to be Mr. Edward's wife, right?

How did this happen?

I know you're a good person.

I also know that you are an honest person.

Yet - my heart, it doesn't move at all.

"It's okay, Carol. I'm sure you'll be happy."

"... I hope so"

"Even after we get married, I invite you to play. Why don't you come here?

"Well... if it seems to be able to move"

From now on, I will be Princess Wang, so I think I have a busy day ahead of me.

I don't know if I have time to play with Lilia in that. But that's how Lilia says it, isn't it?

Once again, the Queen will educate you, and will you have time?

"Lady."

"Natalia."

"It's beautiful. You look great on the lady."

"Yeah...... thanks, Natalia"

Me, Lilia and Natalia are the only ones in this room.

It is customary to enter with your best friend before the groom who refrains from doing so before the priest. That's why I never see the groom at this hour.

After all, you only met Mr. Edward by the wedding when we had that meal together. Since then, Mr. Edward has been too busy to see you at all.

Well, from now on, even if we don't like it, we're going to be face-to-face. His Highness Rayford, who had no interest in me at all and would have rather looked down from the bottom of his heart - you're happy, considering the future that might have made him his wife, aren't you?

"Come on, it's time to get in. Show Carol the sunshine and make her fall back in love."

"... well"

"It's okay. Really, it's okay"

……

Lilia has called out over and over again that it's okay, it's okay. Am I that pale?

It's true that you don't actually feel up to it, but you're not so thick and shameless as to escape now. If you give it all up, you'll have quite a life.

You just let Lilia worry.

"Lady! It's time to enter!

"... Yep"

Answer that to Mary, who would have come in a hurry to call, and stand up.

A wedding dress that is a symbol of joy, happiness - that's just heavy.

Will I ever be able to smile, from ceremony to reception?

Lilia stands next to me and we walk straight.

"Bride, enter!

That's what a voice sounds like, probably a moderator, and the door opens. Beyond that, the dressers welcomed me with applause.

It's still the wedding of His Royal Highness Prince Edward, and you're convinced there's a lot of linemen like this. It's a ceremony to name the country.

Stay sinking and walk the bright red carpet. Ahead, Father and Mr. Edward will be waiting.

But it's strange.

A lot of people have seen it in row seats. Father and mother, and brother naturally, but there are also Deputy Vector and Anastasian commanders of the Knights, Alexander Battalion captains, Sergeant Kruger and Mr. Julius. Strangely, Zach was there, too.

Why are there so many Knights? Mr. Edward, did you actually have a connection with the Knights?

Well, fine.

If you knew I was going to be Mr. Edward's wife like this anymore, you wouldn't be asked to give me a lecture, would you?

Keep your face down and walk straight. Look at all your feet, your spine is bent. But a long dress with an unfamiliar hem is going to step on it and fall as-is.

"Carol."

"... Yep"

Lilia pulled my shoulder.

Apparently, that's as far as walking goes. This would mean that there would be a priest in front of you. And Mr. Edward.

I'll be ready. Today, I am going to your wife.

From the ex, it's a marriage I couldn't have chosen.

But.

But, but.

Dear Wilhelm - The truth is.

I sincerely wanted to be your wife...

"... Huh?

"Hey, Miss Carol."

I looked up, the priest ahead of me.

They are properly dressed in the temple attire, as well as the decorations of the cross. I just thought a decent temple would wait for you here.

That's where I was.

"Edward............?

"Oh. I'm the priest today, so I hope you're convinced."

"How..."

I was going to be Mr. Edward's wife.

This wedding is supposed to be between me and Mr. Edward.

Yet why is Mr. Edward now in this priestly role?

Then.

This.

He's next to me, he called a tuxedo, and the groom...

My eyes, they fit.

Slowly raised my face and a big big palm stroking my head like that.

He's got a gentle smile on his face, that's...

"Long time, Carol."

"Dear Ville, Helm...?

Surprisingly, I open my eyes. No more words coming out.

Master Wilhelm was supposed to have died in the war.

Master Wilhelm broke his promise and didn't come home.

My dear, dear and irresistible Master Wilhelm.

"I'm sorry, Carol. I got worried. Thus I could return alive"

"Ahhh... ahhh! Master Wilhelm Ah!!!

Oh.

Maybe - is this, like, a dream?
