Side Story 3. Spring Day (2)

Cassius’s fingertips with the ring were shaking slightly.

His beautiful gold eyes had a grim glow, but they showed signs of nervousness.

“Yes…….?”

The words slipped out of my mouth in embarrassment.

I was going to ask Cassius to marry me after the summer, but I didn’t know that I would be asked to marry him so suddenly.

I was like a robot broken with happy and bewildering emotions.

Cassius opened his mouth in a white, urgent voice, whether he thought I didn’t like the proposal much.

“Yerine, you must be very surprised. I’m sorry for suddenly asking you to marry me.”

He looked worried and took his knees off the carpet.

“I’m not asking you to marry me right now, but I won’t if you don’t like it.”

The words brought me to my senses and shouted.

“Oh, no, wait a minute!”

Then I got up from the sofa and grabbed Cassius’s sleeve with both hands and said.

“What do you mean by don’t get married right away, what’s wrong with that?”

“Ye, Yerine?”

“I’m…….”

I opened my mouth in a hurry, but I was embarrassed when I tried to speak out.

But I had to say this.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and spoke, holding Cassius’s arms.

“I can get married right away. No, I’d like to get married right away if Cassius doesn’t mind.”

When I looked up with a face heated up with excitement, Cassius looked down at me with a very surprised look.

Then I asked him in the eye.

“……do you hate it, Cassius?”

Cassius shook his head violently at my question without hesitation for a second.

“No, it can’t be! Absolutely not.”

Then he hesitated for a moment and opened his arms to embrace me.

“Yerine, you don’t know, but I’ve been wanting to marry you for years. I mean it sincerely.”

Naturally, I buried my head on his shoulder and he began to pat my back with one hand, sighing and talking.

“If I could, it’s on my side that I want to have the ceremony right now.”

When I heard Cassius’s voice, which seemed a little weak, I also swept his back.

It was like petting a big puppy.

“I should have told you earlier if this was the case.”

“Huh?”

“I thought Cassius wasn’t ready yet, so I was going to wait a little longer, and then talk about marriage when things get less after the summer.”

Cassius then stretched his waist and asked, with his eyes wide open.

“Really?”

As I nodded quietly, Cassius made a painful sound and pointed his forehead with one hand.

“I haven’t talked about it in the meantime because I thought it would be too much for you to talk about marriage.”

Expectedly.

The reason I guessed was right.

“But I heard something last time, so I took courage today.”

“You hear something? What did you hear?”

Cassius began telling the story about a month ago when I had a tea party with my Academy classmates after the Housemates meeting.

He wanted to see my face for a moment, so he stopped by Noble State Field in the name of an important letter to be delivered to me.

But he said he overheard our conversation just before delivering the letter.

And when he heard that I wanted to marry Cassius, he was encouraged to propose today.

“Hold, hold on. Were you listening to all that?”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to listen…….”

Cassius avoided my eyes and blurted the end of his words.

“But I was very happy that day.”

Cassius said, blushing his face.

Looking at his smile, I replied with a smile.

“I’m happy, too.”

Holding his big hands together, who always held out toward me.

“I could marry someone like you.”

When Cassius heard me, he looked at me with a faint look and hugged me.

“Thank you…… I’ll be really good, Yerine.”

I patted Cassius’s shoulder quietly, speaking in a voice just before he was about to cry.

“I won’t interfere with Trump’s work at all, and I’ll never let you go through any difficulties.”

“Yes, such a good boy. Thank you.”

“And the ones that make you angry, just be quiet…I’ll handle them all, not … anyway so let me know.”

“Excuse me, what do you mean handle them all. It’s creepy.”

“Anyway.”

Cassius raised his head and said with a playful smile.

“We promised to get married? You can’t overturn it.”

He took the ring out of the velvet case and put it on my left ring finger.

The jewel, which looked purple before, was dyed red when it tilted the ring.

“That’s Cassius.”

Thinking so inwardly, I opened my mouth.

“I like it.”

On a birthday night when the moonlight was especially bright.

I got the best birthday present in my life.

***

It was real to see the rich wedding dress with skylight and the pure white cotton cloth decorated with flowers.

‘I’m really getting married.’

When I went to see Cassius after finishing the grooming, he almost shed tears as soon as he saw me.

“Yerine, I think I’m going to cry…….”

“Oh, no. If you cry now, your handsome face might be ruined a little.”

Cassius looked just as good as I did.

He usually wore dark or intense coloured clothing, but today he wore a pure white suit embroidered with gold thread.

Seeing him waiting for me in a white suit with his hair completely flipped over, it was a perfect new bridegroom.

‘The users must have had a hard time decorating him like that.’

So it was a little difficult to cry now.

Cassius then took a deep breath and held back the tears as much as he could.

“Okay.”

Even in that situation, he even listens to my words well.

Just then, there was a knock on the waiting room door.

“Tell them to come in.”

Cassius said to his servant guarding the door.

When the attendant opened the door, it was the Academia classmates who came with gifts in their arms.

“What, why are you guys here so early?”

When asked in surprise, Rachel replied with a playful smile.

“We all came early to see our cute new bride and groom!”

“Oh, my God, what time did you guys get up? Everyone’s home is far away.”

I looked around anxiously, accepting gifts from my best friends in my arms.

“Astra left at 10 last night and slept in the carriage.”

Erica pointed her head at Astra and said.

“Oh, no. It’s okay because I slept well in the carriage. And when it comes to distance, Eugene is also very far.”

At Astra’s words, Eugene shook his head and said.

“No, it wasn’t that far.”

“It wasn’t that far!? You’ve been riding in a carriage for over half a day.”

When Erica pointed out, Eugene looked down at her as if he didn’t like her, and Erica looked straight at him without losing.

“Come on, don’t fight, anyway, congratulations.”

Rachel clapped her hands to fix the atmosphere.

Following her, Astra smiled and congratulated me.

“Congratulations, either Your Majesty and Yerine.”

“Thanks.”

Cassius replied with a delighted smile.

Then Erica stepped forward and carefully wrapped her hand around me.

“Congratulations, Yerine.”

The soft cherry blossom-coloured eyes bent and drew a beautiful arc.

“So pretty.”

“Erica……”

With a clear smile on her face, she looked up at Cassius, holding my hand.

“Congratulations, for now, Your Majesty.”

“For now?”

When Cassius raised one eyebrow, Erica answered.

“Yes, but I’ll never stay still on the day you make even a tear in Yerine’s eye.”

“Eh, Erica….”

Rachel then stopped Erica.

“Be nice to Yerine, I mean.”

Cassius nodded at her words, and Erica let go of my hand and went back in place.

When Erica finished talking, the order naturally went to Eugene.

Walking forward, he alternated between me and Cassius and smiled softly.

“You two look good together.”

There was a warm glow in the blue eyes that I once thought were too cold.

“You must be happy.”

His eyes were fixed on me when he said that.

“Because you deserve it.”

It was a heartwarming voice for some reason.

“Thank you, Eugene.”

Eugene, who smiled silently and nodded, stood at Cassius.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”

“Thanks.”

“As Blothea said, don’t make her suffer and be nice.”

“I got it.”

And Eugene turned to me again.

“You, if His Majesty is making you upset, don’t hold it in, just kick him, okay?”

When Eugene said, Erica nodded and responded.

“That’s right. Just kick him, Yerine.”

When I finally burst into laughter, Cassius frowned and complained.

“You’re all so mean. I’m sorry, but contrary to what you think, I’ll only look at Yerine all my whole life.”

I patted the sulky Cassius down.

“Yes, yes, I know. So don’t be upset.”

“It’s because everyone doesn’t know my love for Yerine.”

Then Rachel shook her head and answered back.

“I don’t think there’s anyone in here who doesn’t know that.”

“Really? That’s a good thing.”

Erica and Eugene looked genuinely annoyed at Cassius’s answer, seemingly relieved.

“Thank you all so much. I’m so glad that you all came to celebrate so early.”

Cassius nodded and added to my comment.

“Yeah, coming early wouldn’t have been easy, but I’m very grateful.”

Then Rachel chuckled and waved her hand.

“It’s really nothing. And we don’t have much time to meet and talk during the wedding ceremony, and you’ll be busy preparing for your honeymoon afterwards. That’s why we’re here early.”

Stopped in the middle, she glanced aside.

“Of course there are other reasons.”

I asked back because I didn’t know what she meant by that because I didn’t miss the movement of her mysterious eyes, which seemed to be mixed with orange and pumpkin colours.

“Huh? Any other reason?”

When I looked at Rachel’s gaze, I found a pair of legs that were hidden from others so far.

Next to Eugene, around the bridge behind Astra, a dark green cape shook.

“That’s right, Yerine.”

Astra opened her mouth in a low voice.

“There’s one more person who wants to congratulate you on your marriage.”
