Clyde’s embarrassment seemed to infect me as my face also heated up.

“Why are you making such a fuss?” I chided him for no reason, wondering why he was making such a big deal out of it.

Clyde turned around for a moment and then approached me with a calmer demeanor. “You look beautiful. Truly beautiful.”

His tone was quite mature, but his eyes sparkled like a child seeing a meteor shower. Yet, looking into those eyes was difficult. My expression hardened as I tried to avoid the guilt that I had been barely keeping at bay.

“…I’m hungry.” So, I changed the subject, but Clyde wrapped his arm around my waist and escorted me.

“I thought you might be, so I had them prepare some food. Shall we go to the dining room?”

“What about the wedding?”

“We can take our time. It’s just us here.”

It was a wedding without formalities, not requiring the affirmation of others. If it were true to his character, he would have wanted to announce our marriage to everyone and have a grand and lavish ceremony.

It felt like a place chosen with the desire to focus solely on each other.

Clyde meticulously served me food in the dining room, wiping sauce from my lips with a napkin and showing utmost care. Perhaps it was the tension of needing to receive a token of love from him today, but I felt full after eating very little and declined more food.

“You ate too little.”

“I’m too full to eat anymore.”

“Then, just one last bite.”

I had to take another spoonful at his pleading. After the meal, Clyde led me to a place prepared with various types of flowers.

“Which flowers do you like? I’ll make a bouquet for you.”

“You can make a bouquet?”

“Just tie a bunch of flowers with a ribbon.”

It seemed like there was more to it than that…

Regardless, neither Clyde nor I needed a perfectly crafted bouquet. What we needed was a memory.

He gathered the flowers I carefully selected and bound them tightly with a silk ribbon. Naturally, the result of two novices putting their heads together was a mess.

“Not bad, right?”

I laughed at the bouquet Clyde presented to me. “Yeah. I like it because it’s cute.”

I finally found a common trait between the two Clyde. Being with him made me smile unwittingly, stirring a rich tapestry of emotions.

“Thank you.”

Seeing my face, Clyde’s expression twisted slightly as if he had just stumbled upon gold.

“Now’s the time.” His abrupt statement left me bewildered, asking what he was about to do.

“The wedding ceremony.”

The walk to the chapel felt endlessly long due to Clyde’s constant teasing.

“What if someone sees… stop it.”

The people here, unlike me, seemed to regard the servants not as humans but more like robotic vacuum cleaners. The thought of someone witnessing Clyde’s incessant kisses made me dizzy.

“Don’t you have any sense of shame?”

When I quietly snapped at him, Clyde chuckled lightly.

“No one’s here but us.”

He then made me look around. “See? No one’s here.”

The servants who had finished their work disappeared before I knew it, and we were indeed alone. It felt peculiar that only the two of us were left in this large building, almost like being trapped…

[Let’s hurry up and finish the wedding before we foolishly get attached.]

That was right. Though it felt too late. I walked uncomfortably to the chapel as if wearing shoes filled with thorns. The door to the deserted chapel opened, and we stood side by side at the beginning of the wedding aisle. Unlike the noisy wedding in the dungeon with Clyde, this time, it was eerily quiet.

At that time, I remembered that I hadn’t yet chosen the dowry yet due to the unexpected events at school. And there happened to be a piano here.

Ding!

[You have acquired <Advanced Musical Instrument Skill – Piano>.]

“Wait here for a moment.”

“What are you going to do?”

I sat at the piano and started playing. The notes were perfectly tuned to my ear. <Advanced Musical Instrument Skill> allowed me to play any melody in my head. I chose the wedding march.

“The groom may enter!”

Clyde, laughing as if amused, walked down the wedding aisle and then suddenly lifted me up from the piano bench. “Everything you do is cute.”

[And I find you both cute.]

[Do we really have to lose demon Clyde? They’re so good together…]

Clyde and I stood in front of the altar without a priest. He conducted the ceremony himself.

“Do you, the bride, swear to love the groom forever?”

“…Yes.”

Hearing my answer, Clyde smiled brightly and bowed his head.

“I, your groom, swear to love only my bride, Theresa, forever.”

And our lips met. I closed my eyelids, feeling tears soaking my cheeks. It was truly the final moment.

“Why are you crying on such a good day?” Clyde separated our lips to wipe away my tears.

I pitied the disappearing you. But the fear of dying human Clyde and the bad ending awaiting me were scarier.

As I continued to cry, Clyde showed me a ring box.

. A ring studded densely with small diamonds sparkle even on this cloudy day.

“Do you like it?”

“…Yes. It’s pretty.”

“I’m glad.” As he reached for my left hand to put on the ring, I involuntarily clenched my fist.

“I can’t put the ring on if you do that.”

Is this really the right thing to do?

Is there no other way?

Could there be a better option?

Clyde looked at me lovingly as I was confused and scared. “You’re finally falling for me.” It was a voice filled with ecstasy.

Suddenly, the diamond ring crumbled to dust in his hand and fell. I was momentarily stunned by the abrupt event.

“After today, I’ll fill all ten of your fingers with the best rings. I’d give them to you right now if I could, but then I’d die, right?”

“…What?”

How does he know that?

Clyde kissed my ring finger with reddened eyes and said, “I love you, Theresa.”

It was a confession that seemed to mock me. A chill ran through my body as a dreadful premonition swept over me. Almost instinctively, I checked his likeability.

[Likeability: 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤]

Five black hearts. It was a bad ending.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! T

The frantic notification sounds chastised my foolishness. Clyde held me tightly as I staggered, whining.

“Even if my personality disappears, the fact that Clyde Willow is a half-demon won’t change.”

That’s true. It’s a biological issue.

“Yet, why are you trying to kill only me? It made me sad.”

“…”

“Admittedly, he and I are the same person. Just personalities split by the Willow family for easier handling.”

Seeing my expression, Clyde sighed, “Ah, you knew. Did that strange window only you can see tell you?”

He was referring to the system window. How could he have known? The reason was obvious.

“Ozworld…” As I murmured Ozworld’s name, Clyde’s expression hardened.

“Why are there so many b*stards around you who covet what belongs to others? You’re mine.”

His hand traced my bare back. “It might hurt a bit, but bear with me, Honey.”

A terrible pain erupted as if my flesh was being scorched. “

-!” As I writhed, Clyde engraved something on my back while holding me tighter.

“I wanted to engrave my name on your body. A human marriage can’t bind us together forever, right? I hate that.”

This act was a contract. Once his name was fully engraved on me, I would become a demon contractor.

“

…!”

As I convulsed in pain, Clyde kissed me soothingly.

“It’s okay. It’ll be over soon.”

No magic was used; the butterfly showed no reaction.

As my vision blurred, I saw the ruined bouquet and wondered why it hadn’t become a token of love. Why did the system seem to malfunction?

Everything was strange. And I was the strangest of all. Despite the horrific pain, I felt a grotesque relief that I no longer had to suffer from guilt. My only concern was failing to save Clyde.

“I’m sorry, Clyde…”

Understanding that my apology was directed towards human Clyde, he sneered with anger. “Even now, you’re still…”

Suddenly, the pain stopped. I looked weakly at Clyde as he gently propped me against the altar. But his expression was twisted in horror.

“What is this? What the hell is this!?

…!”

His left eye had turned blue. Clyde took something out of the void. It was our wedding ring.

“You… b*stard…!

! Stop it! Damn it!”

His body moved against his will, cursing and screaming.

“Theresa-!”

As he knelt and struggled to put the loose ring on my finger, the oppressive evil aura vanished. Sweat-soaked and in disarray, I slumped onto the altar, managing to lift my head.

Clyde’s eyes, once tainted red, returned to their clear blue color. He smiled weakly with a sweat-drenched face.

“You were going to marry another guy just because your husband was away for a moment?”

Only Clyde would joke in such a situation. Tears welled up as I realized this.

“Don’t lose the ring this time.”

I finally burst into tears and embraced him.
