I Was Kicked Out of the Party Even Though the Hero Is My Girlfriend chapter 92

92 – years pass

***

After returning to the palace after a few months, the dwarves he hadn’t seen often caught his eye.

It turned out that the temple architecture.

It was already half built.

Construction was pretty quick.

“I decided to name the religion ‘Luo’, which serves Belcran-nim. I took it from Maru’s Lou and Audrit’s Oh.”

“Haha, that’s funny. Is it ingenious?”

“Are you kidding me? Are you a little childish?”

“no. Just do it. Originally, a simple name worked well.”

While the temple was being built, the day of the engagement ceremony was set under the consultation of the king and Galatea, and preparations were carried out smoothly.

Maru assumed that Galatea was her mother, but did not bother to ask.

I thought it was my mother’s quirky play and pretended not to know it.

“Audrey, when did you become friends with Galatea?”

“When you went to catch demons. I had a lot of conversations with him then, and later he said he liked me. Then you suddenly give up your fiancé status.”

“ah… Something like that happened. Anyway, that’s a good thing.”

“I’m sorry but thank you for stepping down on your own.”

Time passed and the long-awaited engagement day arrived.

Numerous guests came, regardless of race.

Maru stood at the entrance from the morning and greeted them politely.

“ha ha ha! It’s the engagement of the people I love the most! Everyone come in! Come on, come on!”

“Ooh, can we come… ?”

“Edward, are you okay?”

“Come in, no specifications! This is the back of a prince!”

Edward, dressed in splendor, entered the engagement ceremony with a group of people.

It was Aslag, whom he had a crush on, and her companions.

Recently, Edward stopped dressing as a woman.

finally got it

As a result, he honestly confessed everything and seemed to still get along well with Aslag.

“Hello Maru! This woman is Miss Aslag! Are you two meeting for the first time? I didn’t have time to introduce myself because Maru was busy!”

“Nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about it.”

“No, hello… For the Crown Prince, congratulations on your engagement, not your marriage.”

Maru came to the nobles’ banquet and shook hands with the shy Aslag and her colleagues.

After they entered, a congratulatory delegation from Narundra approached.

The elf girl Reina was the leader.

“Congratulations on your engagement.”

“Thank you for coming.”

“We are comrades who fought together, so of course we have to come. And this is a gift from my father and the wise man.”

“Oh, what all of this. Please say thank you to Tranuil and Glomadina.”

“He asked me to visit Narundra when I had free time.”

“all right.”

Maru received the boxes wrapped in a cloth and handed them over to Jocasta and Mrs. Herte, who stood behind.

“Keep it well.”

“yes.”

“yes… ”

Currently, Jocasta and Mrs. Herte were in charge of the simple task of sorting out the guests’ gifts behind the floor.

They said it was insulting and chewed shit on their faces, but they were doing their job well.

And the goddess Hergantia stood silently next to them.

It was Hergantia’s first time coming to a human engagement ceremony, so it seemed strange.

Anyway, after Reina and the others entered the hall, Lloris came.

An old colleague I met after a really long time.

He came inside with his disciples and greeted them warmly.

“Hey Maru! A day like this is coming!”

“Are you really here? You have worked hard to come this far.”

“Are you enjoying the potions I send you?”

“It is useful. From now on, don’t send it for free, and send the invoice as well. It stings my conscience to eat a quality potion for free.”

“Hahaha anyway, congratulations. Maru always surprises me. Surprised by being the crown prince, surprised by marrying a beautiful princess, and what else are you going to surprise with next time?”

“I do not know. You will know when you see it.”

“I look forward to it!”

Lloris went inside with the students, followed by Natalie in a dress.

Wearing a dress with a muscular body, something seemed out of place, but it was pretty in its own way.

“Eh, Maru… Congratulations.”

“thank you. How are you these days?”

“yes. I’ll move on to the continent of Winterland in a little while. They say they’re urgently recruiting people because there’s going to be a big war there. Besides, those from the warrior party seem to treat you like a knight commander.”

“The salary must be high. I was also asked to come there as a warrior, but I’m debating whether or not to go now. Maybe we can meet.”

“I, really? I hope you come.”

“To think about it some more. Come in and sit down.”

“yes… Floor. Congratulations once again.”

“okay, thanks.”

“I wish you happiness… ”

Natalie walked alone lonely with a look of regret.

Maru also looked at her back and felt confused for some reason.

How would it have been if I had gotten along well with the warrior party members?

It would have been nice if there was a scene like today where all the party members came and congratulated us hahahoho.

However, our party had a bad ending after each other was hurt.

Only Natalie and Lloris attended, Kiera and Lucy did not.

I had a rough idea of where Keira might be at this time.

He must be locked up in an inn room in the royal capital.

She can’t stay away from her because of the hero’s strength.

a few weeks ago.

She seemed to have given up on everything after Maru’s declaration of breaking up.

I heard that he was staring out the window in a daze all day in the corner of his room.

Like a vegetative person, just breathing without doing anything.

What are you thinking so deeply about?

Actually, I didn’t send her a wedding invitation.

Even if I sent it, I don’t think it would have come.

That’s her situation anyway, and Lucy…

After removing the tattoo on his stomach not too long ago, he left Maru the next day.

I don’t know where he went because he left without saying anything, but at least it was clear that he wasn’t in Basilite Kingdom.

There were reports of seeing her at the border.

‘I wonder if the heart that likes me is because of the tattoo… Rather good. Both her and me.’

Maru smiled bitterly and greeted the next guest.

“Congratulations.”

“thank you.”

“Congratulations, Crown Prince.”

“Thank you for coming.”

While greeting several guests, it was time to raise the ceremony.

Luciella approached in a bright dress.

“Sir, you need to prepare.”

“I get it.”

Maru went to the waiting room and met Audrit.

Today she was more beautiful than usual.

“came?”

“Oh my fiancée.”

Maru kissed her lightly.

The way she looked now was so lovely.

After kissing him, he was about to fall, but Audrit hugged him and refused to let go.

“Huh, I’m nervous.”

“I am nervous too.”

“The engagement ceremony is about this, but I might pass out at the wedding.”

“At that time, more people will come.”

“I shouldn’t have done that, but it was a big deal.”

“Don’t worry. You are a woman more courageous than me. I will do well.”

“right. I am a woman who was confident even in front of the demon king.”

Audrit spoke as if hypnotizing herself, then smiled brightly at Maru.

“The engagement ceremony is also an engagement ceremony, but I am most happy to be able to use one room from today.”

“Oh oh.”

Maru wiggled his eyebrows like a pervert.

Maybe I’ll spend the day with her tonight.

Baroness Osmond came inside.

“It’s time for you two to leave.”

Audrey crossed her arms around Maru’s.

“Let’s go.”

“yes.”

The two left the waiting room with a friendly look.

As I entered the hall, everyone cheered and blessed me.

I saw the king, queen, and Galatea sitting side by side at the high table.

They all have happy faces.

The engagement ceremony was held splendidly.

Thus, the second act of Maru’s life began.

***

After the engagement ceremony, the temple was completed.

As promised, God bestowed holy power on Audrit, and she finally became a saint.

And he formed a party with Maru and participated in the winterland demon subjugation.

Meanwhile, Maru was able to reunite with Natalie in Winterland, but Kiera and Lucy could not be found there either.

After he subdued the Demon God, he and Odrit safely returned to the Kingdom of Basilite.

A few months later, he left for the Raiskan Daria Empire, bidding farewell to the king, queen, and Edward.

And officially married Audrit in the Empire.

Since then, years have passed, and now more than 60 years have passed.

In the morning, a sad news suddenly flew in.

“Your Majesty, Kiera-sama passed away in the early morning of old age.”

“is it… ”

The gray-haired Maru sighed low.

The small wrinkles deepened on his face as he remembered Keira.

“For many years… It must have been difficult for her too. I’m sorry. Rest in peace… ”

Maru sighed and got up from his seat.

“She has no family, so Jim will take care of the funeral himself.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The funeral took place over three days.

Kiera lived all her life alone in the shelter provided by Maru, and no one recognized her.

To that extent, she lived quietly for the rest of her life after Maru’s engagement ceremony.

Why?

What decision did she make to stay so lonely all her life?

“Even though it’s been decades since I’ve been here, I’ve been hearing about it from time to time… ”

A hill with a good view.

After the funeral, Maru stood alone in front of Kiera’s grave with his hands behind his back.

Kiera is a woman.

It was a woman who made Maru feel all sorts of emotions such as remorse, longing, regret, love and hate, and sorrow that pierced his heart.

Unlike Lucy and Natalie, she was a woman without a gender.

Born into a poor nobi family, he lived his whole life only in his first name without a last name.

“I don’t know if that will help.”

Maru bent down and touched her tombstone warmly.

A tombstone with the name Kiera and the last name Han written on it.

– Keira Hahn

After she died, he gave up his last name.

“It’s finally time to keep the promise we made when we first met that we’d be brother and sister.”

He once felt hatred and disillusionment with her, but as he grew older, those feelings melted away and compassion took over.

“Goodbye. Thank you.”

Maru, who stayed for a long time in front of the tomb, moved heavy steps as the sunset set.

I descended and fell into deep thought.

his age is 85 years old.

Maru was alone now.

My mother lived to be over seventy and passed away when he was fifty, and ten years have passed since Audrit, whom I loved so much, also passed away from an old disease.

He was 70 years old.

Afterwards, Lucy, who had been devoted to research to turn back time alone all her life, suddenly came and confessed and married Maru at a late age, but she also passed away six years ago from a chronic illness.

He was 76 years old.

Natalie died at the young age of 45 from the aftereffects of taking drugs in her youth.

It has been 41 years since he died.

If I could go back in time, it was so heartbreaking that I would want to go back and scold her before she touched drugs.

Even though he was over 90 years old, Lloris was still living a long life.
