章 133: CHAPTER 133
Well, either Cliff and Lizzy or the Duchess and Duke, they will live on their own happiness. So from now on, i will live only care about my own happiness. While I was just thinking about such things, Killian misunderstood my expression when i looked around the wedding hall, and he said something scary.
"By any chance. . . . If you want to have a wedding again. . . . "
"Are you crazy?"
". . . . There's nothing crazy about that."
"I'm sorry for my harsh words, but it was really difficult for me to get through our wedding. I really had a hard time enduring it that day, wearing high heels and wearing a dress that makes me feel like my breasts can be seen even if i bend down a little bit?"
Just talking about it makes me sweat.
"Back then. . . . I thought you liked dressing like that."
"I told you. All the things that caused me to be criticized were done by 'the man whose name I can't say.' I thought my spine was going to break on our wedding day."
Killian started laughing at my tired voice. At that time, the guests began to arrive, and Killian and I stood at the entrance with the Duke and Duchess to greet them.
"Oh my, Miss Edith! No, now you're Countess Ryzen, right? It's late, but I heard about the news. You've had a hard time."
An elderly woman whose face I didn't even know held my hand and comforted me. Meanwhile, the rumors spreading on the social world weren't just about Layla story. The story of how I was disliked by my family when I tried to stop Count Riegelhoff from plotting treason, and suffered because of it, won the sympathy of many people.
"Thank you for your concern, ma'am. Now I'm better thanks to my husband, Killian, and my parents-in-law taking, who takes good care of me. I hope you have a great time today."
I smiled brightly and lent the old lady into the wedding ceremony hall. I had no idea how many times I had to say this greeting, but since it was my duty, I had no choice but to do my best until my facial muscles became paralyzed.
'But if it was like before, this friendly atmosphere wouldn't exist. . . .Is it because due to the flow of the original has been destroyed?'
There was no rumor that I was the illegitimate child of Count Riegelhoff's sister. At the execution site, Sophia shouted and revealed the secret of my birth as if it was her final revenge, but in fact, there were many illegitimate children like me born in other families and they were hidden by their married brothers who adopted them as their own children, so it wasn't such a big revelation. However, the fact that I am the bloodline of the Rigelhof family will not go away, but it's unexpected that everyone has seen me as a victim.
'So, the flow of the original story has been cruel to me so far.'
Once again, it was fortunate that I won the game with the original author, but on the other hand, I felt somewhat defeated.
"Edith?"
". . . . Oh! I'm sorry, did you call?"
"Are you alright, If you don't feel well. . . ."
"No need! I'm alright."
I smiled heartily at Killian, who looked at me with concern. Now I have Killian by my side. Just having the people I love next to me, I could quickly get rid of the slight sense of despair inside me. I feel like I have grown a step further as a person.
As the wedding reception was almost over, a middle-aged couple was looking around and checking the invitations they had several times. They seemed to be wearing the best clothes they had, but since it was a wedding attended by high-ranking nobles, they looked a little shabby compared to the other nobles. I greeted them with a big smile.
"Baron Ruben! Baroness!"
They were startled when i called them out.
"Ah, hello? Well. . . .we came after receiving an invitation, but I'm sorry, we actually have no connection to the capital, so. . . . I don't know who the person invited us to attending this ceremony."
They must be felt embarrassing. Because Not only that, the duke's family that they didn't know send a sudden wedding invitation, but they also told him that they would cober all the travel expenses to get here and also provide a place for them to stay. But they deserved more than all of this.
"Don't you know me?"
"I'm-I'm sorry."
"You give goodwill to a woman whose identity you didn't know with a scarred on her face and give her a ride in your carriage. The woman at that time was me."
"Eh, yes?"
As expected, they stared at me even more surprised than before. I introduced Killian to Baron Ruben and his wife.
"When I ran away from Wellesley's villa, they gave me a carriage ride to the center of the capital. If it weren't for these people, I might have died on the road."
"You were my wife's lifesaver! I'm sorry I didn't know. I'm Killian, the second son of Duke Ludwig and the Count of Ryzen."
"Then. . . . This-this person is. . . ."
"This is my wife, Edith Ryzen. The moment you helped my wife, our family's opponents kidnapped her."
Baron Ruben and his wife lost a word, not knowing what to do. I was holding the Baron and his wife hand tight and spoke.
"I told you I would definitely return the favor. First of all, I'll introduce you to someone who can help Baron Ruben at this wedding ceremony today."
I had already done my research on them. Baron Ruben's small farm produces mostly olives, but because he is not very knowledgeable about the trade, he didn't get the right price, even though it was a high quality olives. So, I purposely made them sit next to the owner who runs a large fruit tree distribution business. And, I introduced them both.
'He is a quick notice person, so he'll know why I introduced him to the baron countryside.'
Besides, I won't look down on the person I introduced. Of course, I had no intention of being this condescending. Since they were very interested in their children's education, their children would be able to attend the capital's academy with Count Ryzen's support. Of course, Baron Ruben would remain as a friend to Count Ryzen's family as long as he didn't change his mind in the meantime.
'I'm glad I was able to pay back the favor.'
I was very happy to see the dazed yet happy faces of Baron Ruben and his wife.
* * *
The wedding ceremony of Cliff and Lizzy has begun. When the orchestra played splendid music that couldn't be compared to Killian and Edith's wedding. Cliff, dressed in white robes, holding the dazzlingly beautiful Lizzy's hand and went to the altar together.
"Oh my. . . . She is so beautiful."
"Miss Lizzy's beauty has been famous for a long time. But compared before she looked too young, but now she looks quite mature, right?."
People were still favorable to Lizzy. It seems like the rumor that she has been living her life pretending to be nice hasn't yet spread.
'Well, it doesn't matter anyway, since she already became my brother wife.'
Killian thought that softly. Even though she was a woman I once loved, her marriage was nothing special. From my point of view, it's just 'Lizzy' getting married, but this is also a part of lizzy's 'marriage ceremony'.
I kept thinking about my and Edith's wedding.
'She was pretty, Edith. . . .'
Her dizzying cleavage was clearly visible through the dress, so all eyes present at that moment were only focused on that. But really, Edith was really beautiful that day. Her radish-brown hair was neatly braided, and her the white nape of her neck was so smooth that I wanted to bite it. Even though the wedding atmosphere is not very pleasant, Edith was arrogant and wasn't afraid at all.
'I feel so disgusted with myself. I did something childish act and shameful thing. . . . thinking about it now, I'm so ashamed to death.'
Killian's face turned red as he remembered how rude he had been at the moment when they shared the wedding ring. Without holding Edith's outstretched hand, he put the ring on with his two fingers. Not only that, he also snatched the ring he was going to wear before Edith put it on his finger.
'Despite being treated like that, Edith didn't show any displeasure or offense.'
Unlike me, who behaved childishly, she kissed the children who brought the ring affectionately so that they would not be embarrassed. Once again, her caring heart touched me again. However, at the wedding where everything went well, Killian's only thought about Edith as a 'vulgar' person. But at the same time, he couldn't deny that she was a beautiful and seductive woman. I don't know how embarrassed I was when I forced myself into the bridal room when Lizzy asked me to go there. On the empty bed, there were only bedclothes that looked like the bride had taken it off. And when he saw the steam coming out behind the curtain, his breath stopped for a moment. The sexy figure of Edith sleeping in a large bathtub with a naked body ignited his hidden passions.
"Why are you laughing so hard?"
Edith, who was sitting next to him, poked his side. He must have laughed without realizing it when he remembered Edith waking up from her sleep surprised and the one who didn't want to give up to his provocation and asking nonchalantly, 'so, are you going to sleep here tonight?'. The priest's inauguration ceremony continued in a monotonous manner. It was obvious that Edith was poking because she was bored.
"I just realized how stupid I was back then."
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's nothing."
Killian lightly kissed the corner of Edith's eyes as she glared at him calmly. Before marriage, I heard rumors that Edith was bragging about marriage with me. So, I thought that Edith had high expectations for this marriage because she liked me. But looking at Edith that so different from what he expected, he was suddenly felt ashamed. When he remembered that. Of course, according to Edith's words, the Edith who was rumored to be marrying with me and the Edith on the wedding day were two different souls, so it was only natural that their moods were completely different. But if you're really not interested in Edith, you shouldn't care how much she turned out, right?
