chapter 235
Episode 235 – End of Story
A piece of news from the Grand Duchy of Galois shook the entire Bregern Empire.
‘Alberto Salihar Marquis Geneltus fought and won against an ancient entity that tried to destroy the world!’
Marquis Alberto Salihar Geneltus became the youngest sword master.
He fought against an ancient being called Caledrox, the fearful lord who appeared in the Grand Duchy of Galois.
It was news that the final victory was achieved by completely annihilating him.
This news quickly spread throughout the Bregerne Empire.
At the same time, it was also known that the entity that Alberto fought against was one that even several Auror masters and the legendary hero Tarun found difficult.
When this fact was spread again, everyone in the Bregern Empire had no choice but to acknowledge Alberto as the best swordsman of the Bregern Empire.
Until now, the greatest sword of the Bregern Empire was his father, Count Madern.
His son inherited the title his father had.
There was a rumor that Antonio shouted “Good!” Before he finished paying for the documents when he heard the good news from the Grand Duchy of Galois.
Alberto, Auror Master, and Tarun headed towards Tintaluna that way.
Not only was there no longer any need to see it in the Grand Duchy of Galois, but it was advantageous to disappear quickly as remaining would only hinder the restoration work.
Those who returned to Tintaluna were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of living citizens in Tintaluna.
“Long live the Bregen Empire! Long live Marquis Geneltus!”
“Glory to the Empire’s First Sword that protects us!”
“Marquis! Thank you for defeating the evil demon!”
Alberto, Auror Master, and Tarun pushed forward through the countless crowds of welcomers.
They met Antonio in front of the imperial palace, and Antonio praised their achievements.
“Thank you for your hard work. Great heroes of the Empire. Everyone in the empire owes their lives to you.”
Antonio bowed his head and thanked them directly.
Seeing him like that, Alberto clenched his fist and pounded his right chest.
“As a noble of the empire, I just did what I had to do.”
When told that he had done what he was supposed to do as a nobleman, Antonio nodded his head.
At the same time, he spontaneously gave Alberto a large award.
“I declare this here. The title of Duke is awarded to Alberto Salihar Marquis of Geneltus. At the same time, I appoint Duke Geneltus as the guardian knight protecting the Bregern Empire.”
Antonio crowned Alberto as a duke and at the same time gave him the new title of guardian knight.
This guardian knight was also given a title to the ancestors of the Maidern family who fought against the apostles of the evil god in the past.
“Yaaa!”
“Long live Duke Geneltus! Long live your Majesty the Emperor!”
The other Auror Masters and Tarun, who saw Alberto ascend to the dukedom, smiled and nodded.
Antonio did not forget to provide rewards to others that they could be satisfied with.
There may be some who are dissatisfied with the fact that Alberto received the new title of duke not long after becoming a marquis.
Such a person would first have to defeat Tarun and the Auror Masters who fought alongside Alberto.
Following the youngest sword master, Alberto became the guardian knight of the empire and the youngest duke.
Now there is only one thing left for him.
It was just a wedding with Nina.
◈
Irene, successor to the Grand Duchy of Galois.
She sighed as she looked at the half-destroyed capital of the Grand Duchy of Galois.
If you’re going to destroy it, why not just demolish it all, or vaguely destroy only half of it?
However, this time, Kaledrox went on a rampage, and everyone who could threaten her position
Coincidentally, the first ones Caledrox attacked were collateral and other direct descendants of the Galois family.
In fact, Irene was now the only member of the Galois family.
With the Archduke Galois also dead, it was certain that she would now take over the position of the Archduke Galois.
There were still so many tasks left for her.
The good news was that Alberto, who was newly crowned duke, was able to gain some breathing room by contributing a little of his wealth to the restoration of the Grand Duchy of Galois.
When Irene officially ascends to the position of Archduke, in return she becomes the political guardian of the child born to Alberto and Nina.
In other words, I promised to be her godmother.
However, she could not attend Alberto’s wedding.
This was because it would take quite a bit of time to rebuild the collapsed Grand Duchy of Galois.
So Irene was concentrating on work day and night to revive the Grand Duchy of Galois once again.
◈
The mansion of Duke Geneltus’s family was crowded with a huge number of people, unlike usual.
It looks like there are people lined up starting from the entrance of the mansion.
Everyone watching could infer that a very large event would be held here today.
There was a reason why so many people flocked to the mansion of the Duke Geneltus family today.
Because today is the wedding day of Duke Geneltus and Baron Esselton.
Duke Geneltus, the best sword of the empire and the guardian knight of the empire, and Baron Esselton, who saved the lives of many people by reducing the manufacturing cost of recovery medicine through an efficient formula for manufacturing recovery medicine.
Since it was the wedding of two of the most famous people in their respective fields, it was natural that there would be a lot of people.
“Only people who have received a wedding invitation can come inside.”
“Just go over there and leave your congratulatory gift with your name.”
Is it because it’s Alberto’s wedding?
Members of the Imperial Knights wearing golden armor came out to organize traffic and control various flows.
In addition, the Maidern family sent her maid, Jean-Michel, to take care of all wedding preparations.
Her maid Jean-Michel, did her part and trained the servants of the Duke of Genel Tooth to perfection.
Thanks to this, they were able to respond well without hesitation despite the large crowd of people.
There were so many people attending Alberto’s wedding.
The Duke of Bedoran and the Marquis of Sebatia, as well as Alberto’s father, Count and Countess Meydern, were greeting the guests one by one.
Even Alberto’s Royal Academy classmates and friends, Ruel, Jerome, Karl, and Geran, attended Alberto’s wedding.
“Wow, there are so many people.”
“Is it really the best sword in the empire?”
“But aren’t there any other motivations besides us?”
“Are we the only friends of Alberto?”
The four people were greeting each other.
Actually, my classmates at the Royal Academy wanted to attend Alberto’s wedding.
Most people did not receive a wedding invitation, and only Alberto’s four friends and a very few other people who approached Alberto first were able to receive a wedding invitation.
“The wedding ceremony will begin in a moment. “We ask that all guests take their seats.”
“Oh, I guess I’m starting now.”
Everyone who attended the wedding took their seats at the sound of the officiant’s voice.
“Today’s protagonists, Duke Geneltus and Baron Esselton, will enter. “I hope everyone welcomes us with applause.”
The host’s voice rang out, and two people appeared from the waiting room.
Alberto, wearing a custom-made wedding suit for today, was holding Nina’s left hand with his right hand.
Nina, wearing an unconventional wedding dress that showed off her cleavage, holding Alberto’s right hand with a bridal veil on her head, slowly made her way to the place where the officiant was standing.
As the two walked forward holding hands, many people applauded heartily and congratulated them.
Nina put on more effort than usual to do her makeup for today.
I used makeup to look as young as possible so that the age difference wouldn’t look too big.
“What is it? The age difference between the bride and groom doesn’t seem that big.”
‘Good!’
Nina expressed her joy when she heard that the guests didn’t seem to have much of an age difference between them.
Soon, two people stood in front of the official.
“The person who will officiate your wedding today is a legendary hero. “This is the great sword master Tarun.”
“A legendary hero?”
“Are you still alive and not dead?”
Many people were surprised by the appearance of the legendary hero, Tarun.
At the same time, it was revealed that Alberto and Tarun were close enough to have the legendary hero officiate.
Tarun proceeded with the wedding in earnest without worrying about people’s reactions.
“I will ask the bride and groom. Do you two promise to love, care for, and respect each other no matter what, work together to solve problems when things get difficult, trust each other, embrace each other during the most difficult times, and build a happy family? “
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
Alberto and Nina’s answers rang out and Tarun nodded.
“Now, I want you two to put the wedding rings on each other’s hands.”
At Tarun’s words, Alberto and Nina put wedding rings on each other’s left ring fingers.
There was an engagement ring on it, but when the wedding ring was put on, the wedding ring and engagement ring became one and turned into a ring with a simple but sophisticated design.
“Now is the time to confirm the love between the two. “I will declare that the bride and groom have become one through the kiss of the bride and groom.”
Tarun has now announced the final order.
The intention was to end the wedding with a kiss between the groom and the bride.
Normally, it would have been a very time-consuming wedding, but Tarun didn’t care about that.
If two people promise to live happily ever after, isn’t that the end?
At Tarun’s words, Alberto and Nina looked at each other.
And then the two people’s faces cautiously get closer.
Finally, the two people’s lips touched each other.
“The bride and groom shared a kiss pledging their eternal love. With this, we declare in front of everyone that the two of us have become one, a married couple. Those who try to break this will face strict judgment from heaven.”
Alberto and Nina finished kissing and looked at the guests.
And then we slowly walked forward holding hands.
So the two held each other’s hands and slowly took steps towards an unknown future.
Under the extremely blue and clear sky, a happy day has finally come for the narrow-eyed nobleman who was always misunderstood.
