150. Sepia wedding (2)
A new year has dawned.
Sepia and her friends turned 21, and Vivian turned 20.
And the employees of Logness Class had to spend their busy schedules. It was because of Sepia’s wedding in Lognes Class.
As expected, the Lognes family is one of the 10 most prestigious families in the Empire. As if to prove this, the garden was set with tables, chairs, and all sorts of food. In addition, the garden of Logness Castle was magically warm like a greenhouse even in winter.
As if it were natural, all kinds of flowers were growing as if they had forgotten winter.
People seemed to be gathering in the garden one by one, and then I saw a familiar face. Arthur, Reus, Sonny, Anya, and Tesha gathered together.
Earlier, when I stood in the audience for a while, I confirmed that they were gathered. They mentioned what would happen at the wedding.
Of course, I, who acted as escort, stood by Sepia’s side. Sepia in a wedding dress was beautiful. The fitted corset, the elegantly braided hair worn in a veil, the long drooping dress and the bouquet in her hand all suited Sepia well.
Sepia moved her body around in front of the mirror.
“How do I look? Ethan? Pretty.”
“It is very pretty. sepia.”
“As expected, the beauty I did.”
I smiled and stroked Sepia’s hair.
“iced coffee! no. It means you touched my head for an hour.”
“Sorry.”
It seems that stroking Sepia’s hair has become a habit these days. No, how can you keep your hands still when you look up at me with such cute eyes?
Then someone knocked on the door. Sepia and my gaze turned to the door at the same time. I went back to being the taciturn escort swordsman.
Sepia also clutched the bouquet with pale eyes.
“My lady, it is me. Father is looking for you.”
When someone said it, it was Vivian. After Sepia’s permission was granted, Vivian cautiously opened the door and entered.
And behind him stood a brown-haired middle-aged man. Halion von Lognes, the owner of this estate, was Sepia’s father.
“sepia… . So beautiful.”
My father scanned the sepia with new eyes. Soon, his eyes grew slightly red. No matter how strict, dignified, or serious he is, it seems that his father is his father.
“father… .”
“Come here. Let’s hug.”
Halion hugged Sepia tightly once. He patted Sepia’s back and spoke in a low voice.
“My dear daughter. I also met your mother through an arranged marriage. Still, they lived a happy married life. And I met you through that marriage.”
As the father of an only daughter, Halion had a long tirade. I’m sorry all of a sudden I’m going to set off this wedding like a firecracker… .
“Marriage is not the end, but a new beginning.”
“Yes, got it. father.”
Soon I met Halion’s eyes. He bowed his head and gave an example.
“Ethan, you have become a wonderful young man. I’ve been hearing about you often lately. Did you catch three or four mines?”
“It’s all the result of the head of the family sending me to the academy.”
“Yes, even after Sepia is married, I will ask for Sepia. As an escort swordsman.”
“Please hold on to your worries.”
Halion nodded. Soon, he tapped Sepia on the shoulder once.
“Father, go to the audience first.”
Leaving those words behind, Halion left first. And Sepia’s wedding started.
I stood in the back of the audience and watched the wedding. Those with gray hair gathered together in the bride’s side seat. And in the distance, I saw Asmodeus wearing a tuxedo.
Sepia and Asmodeus stepped onto the stage. The moderator tapped on the microphone and started officiating. I sat in the audience and slowly looked around. During the wedding, the world seemed peaceful.
Dangju nodded at the officiating ceremony with something moved. There was tension in Arthur and Tesha’s eyes. I touched the handle of the sword.
And after a long wait, the important moment has dawned.
“Welcome to the wedding of Sepia von Rognes and Elon von Eisar… . May the Goddess of Light take care of the future of these two for the rest of their lives… .”
The bride was wearing a thick veil and holding a bouquet of flowers. The moderator continued to officiate.
“If, by any chance, that will never happen, anyone who has any complaints or objections to the marriage between the bride and groom, please speak up now or keep your mouth shut forever…” .”
The presenter scanned the audience.
At that moment, smoke rose with a loud explosion from one side of the audience as if they had been waiting. Surprised by the smoke, screams erupted from everywhere.
It was a special bullet made with alchemy based on Erath grass, which is said to reveal the identity of the devil. Of course, there was no problem with humans at all. It’s just an alchemy item that properly reveals the identity of the devil.
“terror! terror… !”
“Protect the lady-!”
The guards standing at the entrance to the wedding hall came running. Asmodeus’ expression seemed to be stunned, as if his thought circuit had stopped for a moment. And those who inhaled the smoke slowly revealed themselves.
All of them were sitting on the groom’s side. Everyone was back to being themselves.
Horns exposed, wings covered with skin, hooves visible, and so on. It was an appearance that was clearly comparable to a human. I put a smile on my lips.
“Eh, what is this… !”
Everyone who saw the devil showed a nervous expression. Even Asmodeus could not be free from the smoke.
No matter how human the body is, the true identity is a demon. Because I couldn’t hide my purple eyes.
“Mine, Asmodeus! I have come to avenge the Queen!”
The one who shouted that was the gray hair in the audience. The new leader of the vampires, Ashron. In order to disrupt this wedding, I personally contacted them with a crystal ball and put them in the audience.
After I caught the Gamigin, I decided to take off my feet to repay the favor.
“The time for revenge is ripe! This is your grave!”
As if intoxicated by his role, Ashron raised his voice. I drew my sword and prepared a blink for Asmodeus.
This isn’t a wedding, it’s your execution. Asmodeus.
The guards hesitated whether to catch the Mine or the Vampire. Apparently, from the point of view of the guards, uninvited guests are the same whether they are demons or vampires.
“Mine! Repel the Mine!”
“yes? However… .”
“Vampires seem to have come to catch Mine. Exterminate the demons for now.”
After all, the slogan to exterminate the demons is the best in this case.
The guards nodded and gathered towards Mine. The curtain on the grand wedding ceremony was rising.
* * *
On the audience side, a group of demons led by Asmodeus were facing the warrior candidates of Nadia Academy, such as vampires, Arthur, Anya, Tesha, and Reus.
Purple eyes, and even the magic that radiates uncontrollably.
Asmodeus, who had already appeared, glared at the bride. Because of the thick veil, the opponent’s expression could not be seen well.
The wedding went off the rails. It looked like a trap he had dug to catch himself.
Then there was only one thing to do.
Sepia von Logness is like a tiger cub to the devil. Either he had to deal with Sepia, or he had to use Sepia as a hostage to get out of the Lognes class.
‘Damn it, how did this happen?’
All in all, the vampires were all beings invited by Sepia. It didn’t take long before they decided that Sepia had attracted the vampires.
“Sepiaah! is it four years? Four years a vampire… !”
At that moment, a bride in a white wedding dress pulled a blade out of the air. It was a fairly skilled swordsman’s move to pull out the sword and let it hang down in an effortless motion.
Did Sepia handle the sword well?
Since he attended the academy, learning swordsmanship was not at all impossible. However, the opponent was not sepia.
A familiar brown-haired girl was revealed through the veil. Sepia’s attendant, the girl who always followed the orders with an expressionless gaze, was Vivian.
“It’s not sepia… !”
“Vivian, I am fulfilling your orders.”
Saying that, Vivian swung her dark red blade. Vivian’s sword strike that hit the ground cut through Asmodeus.
Fresh blood splattered into the air. In pain, Asmodeus had to bite his teeth. A red wound was engraved on the chest.
‘disguise? not. polymorph… ?’
Polymorph was not an easy magic to use.
It was a magic that was hard to see in life unless someone like a dragon used it.
In the first place, it was difficult to maintain it for a long time, and it was rarely used in actual combat because it had the property of being released when there was a violent movement.
However, it was possible to feed a room in this way.
“Shit… !”
Leaping backwards, Asmodeus covered his wounds. The wound was shallow because he twisted his body in time for the swing of the sword.
Asmodeus, a wizard, did not know much about swordsmanship or swords. However, seeing that dark red blade exuding ferocious force, I could tell that it was not an ordinary sword. If it’s a dark red blade… .
“Balmung… . The dragon slayer is Balmung!”
But Vivian didn’t answer. However, he only faced Asmodeus with cold eyes.
At that moment, Edan jumped at Asmodeus’ side. Edan, who instantly closed the distance with Blink, opened up a sword attack without hesitation. The black blade contained blue magic power.
In response, Asmodeus emitted red demonic energy.
The red magic and blue magic collided. The platform collapsed and Asmodeus widened the distance with Blink.
Asmodeus is a wizard.
I couldn’t get the upper hand against the two swordsmen in close combat. If it was a high-ranking Majin that was in urgent need, it might be possible somehow, but it wasn’t me.
“Ethan, you… . I will kill you.”
Asmodeus exhaled slowly and revealed his true form. The mage’s appearance slowly melted away.
Not only was the crumpled skin dry like a mummy, but the hands, feet, and even the face were changed to look like those of an old man. Where his lips melted, his yellow teeth were lined up.
And in one hand was a long steph. Steph with the red magic stone glowed viciously.
“Edaan-!”
His angry voice was as sharp as a knife.
Demi Rich.
Asmodeus, a demon and a lich at the same time, glared at Ethan with red eyes shining in the air. Before I knew it, the sky was gloomy with a dark purple color, as if it were full of dark clouds.
