Rehabilitating the Villainess

The Holy Land was dyed in white. 

Shael and I were walking together on a place that was like a white canvas.

Our destination was the wedding hall that we had seen before while attending the Blessing Meeting. It was the place where Shael and I would be forming an eternal bond.

The people of the Holy Land hated us because of Clie’s machinations, but thanks to the wealth of the wealthy Azbel family, we were able to rent the wedding venue.

The rumors spread by Clie had faded away quite a lot as well, so it wasn’t that much of a troublesome matter.

‘Anyway, the important thing is that today is my wedding day with Shael.’

When I recalled the fact that I had been reminding myself several times, a broad smile appeared on my face.

I was acting like this, so what kind of expression was the shy Shael making?

‘She must be making a silly face…’ 

I turned her head to look at Shael for a definitive answer. However, my prediction was not correct.

Shael wasn’t making a silly face, she was pouting her lips as if there was something wrong.

“What is it?”

“We are late, hurry!”

In fact, there was quite a bit of time left before the ceremony began. We also purposely left early to spend

time together before the ceremony.

The wedding hall was still being prepared by the family members. So there was definitely something strange about Shael’s words.

“You look like you are hiding something.”

“Oh, no…nothing.”

As I turned my head to take a look, Shael blocked my way as if she was trying to cover something up.

Of course, with her small body, she couldn’t block my vision. And, what appeared in my sight was a stone statue that Shael had been trying to hide.

It was the statue of the Goddess of Love. It was same the Goddess statue we saw when I and Shael came to the Blessing Meeting.

Come to think of it, Shael had suddenly urged me to repeat my confession in front of the statue of the Goddess. After recalling that memory, I could understand why Shael was trying to hide the Goddess statue.

‘There was a legend that if you confess in front of the Goddess statue, your love will last forever.’

It was a legend I saw in a book I read before coming to the Holy Land. That was the reason why Shael was ready to bear the shame and demanded that I confess again. And that was also probably why she was covering the statue of the Goddess now.

“Looks like you’re covering the Goddess statue.”

Shael shook her head. 

But looking at her reaction, it seemed that my guess was correct.

Anyways, I couldn’t just waste the opportunity to tease Shael, so I opened my mouth.

“There was a legend that if you confess in front of the Goddess statue, your love will last forever..”

“Don’t speak.”

As she realized that I already knew about the legend, Shael glared at me. 

I stroked Shael’s head a few times and didn’t stop walking.

As time passed, I saw a large tree. Like the statue of the Goddess, it was a tree I had seen before.

‘I hung my wish on the tallest branch of this tree.’

Shael had written her wish on two pieces of paper. I still remembered it quite vividly.

“Do you remember hanging the wish?”

“Of course.”

“Did you wish for us to be able to start a family together?”

To make things clear, it was the wish I had written on the paper.

“How can you know that!”

But looking at Shael’s reaction, it seemed that she also written the same thing.

I could see Shael’s blushing cheeks, so I could tell.

‘So Shael wrote the same wish as me.’

Of course, Shael wrote down one more thing. But, I decided not to look into it. Let’s save the rest for the future.

I tried to ignore Shael who was poking me in the back and headed towards our destination.

Soon, a huge wedding hall crowded with familiar people caught my eye.

The members of the Azbel family and the Baslett family greeted us with happy smiles.

Now, the preparations for the wedding were complete.

After spending some time with Shael, who wanted a long hug in the middle, there was not much time left until the guests arrived.

We went into the ceremony hall together, calming our trembling hearts as much as possible.

I took a deep breath and stared at the mirror. 

I carefully inspected my whole body, worried about whether there was any dust on it. Everything was fine except for the beating heart that I couldn’t control.

“I’m so nervous.”

“Young Lord, you look splendid. You have to leave the waiting room soon…”

I couldn’t pay attention to the butler’s words. The thoughts about Shael had indiscriminately taken over my mind.

‘Is Shael okay?’

She must be more nervous than me. Still, she’ll be smiling brightly.

In my mind, I pictured a nervous Shael. I missed her quite a lot. It was quite a strange feeling since it hadn’t been that long since I parted with Shael.

At that time, the signal that the preparations were over was heard. 

I forcibly pulled my still nervous body, and walked forward.

The wedding hall finally entered my view.

I could see the mages of the Azbel family casting light magic, and the swordsmen of the Baslett family standing in rows.

I turned my head and looked at them all. I was able to feel their good will towards the event. 

When my wandering gaze reached a certain place, my mouth hung open.

I saw Shael walking with Duke Jespen in her wedding dress.

As soon as I saw her, my heart, which had been pounding with tension, stiffened for an instant.

Shael was so beautiful. More beautiful as usual. She was prettier and more elegant than ever before.

She had an elegant and noble aura about her very being, and it enthralled my mind.

When I came to her senses, Shael was already in front of me. 

I almost reached out and gave her a hug. Because I felt that Shael, who was looking at me, was unbearably cute.

Duke Jespen, standing next to Shael, smiled.

“The best lovers in the Empire.”

“Thank you.”

“I won’t say anything long. I believe that you will live a good life even if I don’t say anything.”

That was a moving statement. However, Duke Jespen seemed like he was feeling nervous as well.

‘Why does Duke Jespen seem more nervous than me?’

Thanks to that, I was able to calm my trembling body a bit.
