Epilogue Episode 29. A not very important story
Early morning with soft light seeping through the stained glass.
The priest who entered the quiet confession room was surprised.
The door was closed, as if there were already people waiting inside at this time.
The priest smiled calmly and spoke in a quiet voice to the lamb on the other side of the curtain.
“What brought you here?”
“I came here to confess my sins and feel at peace…”
“Good. However, keep in mind that confessing does not make the sin go away. With firm faith in the mercy and grace of Aegis, repent for the sins you have committed and confess the truth.”
“I understand…”
A man who comes early in the morning and confesses with a trembling voice.
The priest thought he must be feeling very guilty, so he took a moment to prepare himself.
It was so as not to be disturbed no matter what story was told.
Of course, as a priest who had been going to confession for over 10 years, it seemed like there would be no more new sins to hear.
“I love several women at the same time, priest. Isn’t this normal?”
“It’s completely normal. I’m sure all men experience romantic feelings for multiple women. However, if you express your love with all your passion and passion for just one woman-“
“Ah.”
“You’re not doing that.”
“Yes…”
It was an affair.
The priest felt much more at ease.
I was worried about what would happen if it was a serious crime such as murder or arson, but I was used to it because I heard about adultery every day.
“Actually, at first, I thought that I would leave this place once everything was over. So I accepted the confession of a woman I did not love. Until then, I was planning to take advantage of her love. Then, I met another woman. “I realized that she was interested in me, so I entered into an engagement with her, and at that time, I planned to benefit from her wealth and prestige.”
“You did something terrible.”
“Yes. I repeated that thoughtlessly, and before I knew it, I couldn’t leave this place. The women I had planned to use in a calculated way began to look really lovely. When I came to my senses, I realized that I had been married to several people. “He was saying things that didn’t sound like he was saying he loved them all.”
Oh my gosh.
This was a passionate fight.
The priest shut her mouth, which was itching to bite her tongue, and, unable to find anything to say, he pressed her lips.
“It’s okay. You regret it, right?”
“No. I don’t regret it either. I don’t think I would have been able to see that cute face if even one of them hadn’t made a betrothal contract… Wow. My heart aches just thinking about it, priest.”
“······.”
What is this kid doing again?
The priest let out a quiet breath as she felt the pain in her bones.
“Does her fiancé know that she committed bigamy?”
“Yes. In the past, even if we just made eye contact, we would be brutal, but I’m glad that we seem to be getting along quite well these days.”
“Then I’m glad. The sin you committed isn’t that serious. Bigamy is not prohibited under imperial law, so don’t be too afraid and just show your sincerity without neglecting either of you.”
“Ah, priest. There are not two people.”
“There were three people?”
“Three, not even three.”
“Then what about…”
“Well, I only have about one day off a week.”
“Ah…”
Six people.
The priest closed his eyes tightly and let out his sighs.
No matter what, there are degrees. How can a person love six people at the same time?
There was no doubt that this kind of bastard was creating chaos in society by making nonsense words like harem romance.
“I’m sure Aigis will forgive me, right? Still, I’m trying my best to love each and every person in my own way-“
“Oh my God, get the hell out of here! And don’t ever think of calling me a follower of the Aegis Church again! To be honest, I’m embarrassed!”
“Ugh…”
That day, the priest got angry for the first time in 10 years.
***
With the help of about 10 companies, the wedding was barely able to be completed on time and was successfully held.
Because there were five brides each, it started early in the morning and lasted all day, but in the end, it was completed without any accidents.
It is said that the Monarch Principality, where the wedding was held, attracted hundreds of thousands of guests, so every street was crowded for three days.
I think it would be okay to skip the story about what the wedding was like.
Ludwig, who had seen the wedding officiating, glared at me with a sh*tty expression the whole time, The Hurt Locker couldn’t stand it anymore and grabbed me by the collar, and Erica grabbed all the cookies in the waiting room and ate them, causing a commotion, thinking it was a thief. For example, many people had a hard time stopping Trier from entering with a sword at her waist, or Feline’s fluttering tail caused her dress to become disorganized and she stepped on it and fell down. When Iris entered, the wails of the Aegis cultists were heard. No one will be curious about the story that came out of there, so much so that it was difficult to tell whether it was a wedding or a funeral.
No matter what happened, isn’t it important that the wedding ended well without any major accidents?
In the afternoon as the sun was slowly setting, we boarded the airship while seeing off the guests.
When we finally took off and looked down until the city center of the Monarch Principality looked tiny, I was relieved to realize that the wedding had really come to an end.
Half a day felt like an eternity as we had to take care of the numerous guests and the entire large ceremony hall throughout the wedding.
We ultimately decided to go to the sea for our honeymoon.
Emilia claimed that she wanted to go to the desert alone, but when she went there, her hair became dull and her throat was sore from the sand and wind, so she said that it was not a place to go, so Erica and Trier desperately tried to persuade her. Thanks to this, I was able to avoid going to the desert.
When I glanced back, my wives had already changed into comfortable clothes and were laughing and talking.
Of course, in the midst of all this, there was one person who seemed upset and uncomfortable.
“Why are you so upset? Our Majesty?”
“The little brat you’re talking about is extremely malicious. It’s obvious why.”
As I sat down next to her, Aria snorted and turned her head away from me.
Today, Aria seemed to be completely upset because she could not attend her wedding alone.
“When you and Jim get married, it will be held on a larger scale than this.”
“Uh… Won’t the system explode then?”
“It doesn’t matter if it explodes. It’s the emperor’s wedding, so it would be okay if it paralyzes the entire system for a day.”
“······.”
He was making dangerous noises.
This wedding alone was hectic as there were five brides and the scale was enormous, but they wanted to make it even bigger than this?
It must have been a joke.
I decided to firmly believe that.
“Over there! I can see it over there!”
“It’s the sea!”
The end of the world seemed to be in sight now, as a sound of exclamation came from the window.
Among these, there were probably quite a few people seeing the sea for the first time.
Because this world is made up of one supercontinent, shipping and the maritime industry have not developed much.
Therefore, coastal cities had no choice but to be eliminated, and most of the population was concentrated around inland rivers.
Of course, this is also a story before the discovery of the New Continent…
“Wow. There was such a wide sandy beach here. I’ve been to this area many times, but I didn’t know.”
“You have no choice but to know. I made it recently.”
“Huh?”
Trie’s head tilted.
The look in his eyes seemed to say that he did not understand what he was saying.
“Ma, you made it?”
“Looking at it, the western coast close to the island had nothing but sheer cliffs. So I just plowed it up and filled it with sand from the desert to create a sandy beach. What do you think? It looks amazing, right?”
“Uh…”
“Schlus… Didn’t you declare that you would not abuse the power of Mine for personal gain…?”
“What kind of abuse is this? It’s public support to revitalize the tourism industry in coastal cities. They’ve even built a resort. It hasn’t opened yet, so we can rent it out and enjoy it until tomorrow.”
“······.”
Suddenly the atmosphere froze.
Then, one by one, the silence was broken and laughter began to erupt.
“Huh. At times like this, I realize how much of a horrible person I married.”
“I’ll forgive you just this once, Schlus. Honestly, I was looking forward to swimming in the sea, too.”
“hehehehe! When will we land? I want to quickly check if the sea water is really salty!”
Looking at the reaction, it didn’t seem like something was done in vain.
By the way, it’s the sea.
You’ve been together for three years and you’ve never gone to the beach with him.
I felt a little bitter.
I wish I could have come with Julia, too.
I thought about that while clutching my chest.
“There are only six people! How about we split into teams of three and play volleyball?”
“Volleyball? What is that, trie?”
“Huhuhuhu. It’s a popular ball game these days.”
“I will abstain. As the emperor, I cannot run around in a superficial manner.”
“I was planning to make it a condition that the winning team would take over the Schlus tonight. Are you sure you will abstain, Your Majesty?”
“I will cancel the statement I just made. How are you going to organize the group?”
Even though we haven’t even arrived yet, the atmosphere on the airship is already heating up.
There were so many people that there was never a moment of silence.
‘As expected, I have no regrets.’
After much hesitation, I made up my mind.
I don’t regret getting married at all.
I probably won’t have anything to regret in the future.
“Oppa! Come here and help me decide on a team!”
“How can I make it evenly boiled…?”
“uuu! I was feeling stuffy from wearing a dress all day, but it worked out! I need to warm up with this!”
“hehehe! Me too!”
“First of all, it is confirmed that Mr. Feline and Treee will be separated…”
“Just decide roughly. The team I belong to is bound to win anyway.”
Seeing everyone laughing and talking together made me smile happily.
I quietly intervened and said something.
“But wouldn’t it be better to change the conditions for victory?”
“Why is that, brother?”
“I want to deal with all six of you tonight.”
“······.”
Suddenly the atmosphere became cold again.
Six eyes were looking at me as if they were going to kill me.
