NOVEL NEXT Chapter 109
109 – Afterword – Waltz for a Happy Ending (15) (Complete)
***
Maru entered the palace, greeted the king, and then had a short conversation.
“Audrey will make the decision. I will stay away.”
The king was quite favorable, perhaps because Galatea came first and created a somewhat pro-imperial atmosphere.
Well, even in the future, he was the crown prince, so he welcomed him with both arms.
After that, I was assigned a room, and after roughly organizing my luggage, I went out to the hallway.
The attendants, carrying heavy loads, moved busily.
It was the burden of the bride-to-be.
Lucy had the most luggage.
“Yanma! It will go to another room! Take it out!”
“Lu, Luciella-sama, a strange bug came out of her luggage! Catch me! Kyaaak!”
“Hey hey hey! Don’t make a fuss with bugs! That’s research material! Set up before lunch! Hurry!”
“How did Your Highness come here?”
“Ah, look at things. Goodbye.”
I walked down the aisle past the bustling attendants.
I came here after 60 years, but I quickly knew how many rooms there were in the palace and where the corridors were leading.
“The feeling is new. I am so happy to see you again.”
Maru looked around and looked around, reminiscing about the past.
Suddenly, while passing by the drawing room, I saw Lucy, Natalie, Hergantia, and Luciella gathered together and drinking tea.
Natalie, who had been looking at the artwork in the room without drinking tea alone, smiled brightly when she found the floor outside the door.
“Floor! Come in, let’s stay together!”
The gazes of Lucy, Hergantia, and Luciella simultaneously turned to Maru, who was standing in the hallway.
“What are you doing there?”
“Maru, let’s drink together.”
“Nari, are you happy to be back? Whoops.”
Maru smiled happily.
“I’ll look around the palace some more. Wait a minute.”
I passed the living room and walked down the hallway again.
I went to the restaurant where I had a meal with Audrit and Edward a long time ago, I went to the stable where Audrit kept following me when I secretly went to subdue the bandits, I went to the loading dock, I went to the walk we walked together, and on and on. walked through the past
At the end I was standing in an open garden.
There were also memories with Audrey here.
“Here, spread out a mat, eat together, take a nap, and at night secretly… ”
Maru blurted out his words and giggled.
A gust of wind tickled his face.
He shook his head and looked up at the sky.
The shape of the clouds floating in the blue sky also looked the same as then.
“What are you doing by yourself?”
I heard a voice and looked around.
It was Audrey.
She, as beautiful as in those days, was approaching.
With an innocent face full of curiosity.
In that moment, many of the conversations I had with her flashed through my mind.
‘like! I’ll listen even if it’s early, so I have to tell you everything without missing a thing!’
‘In my eyes, it’s cool to just swing a fist.’
‘Only trust me. I’ll protect you.’
‘I also want to do something like this. If I had divine power, I would have assisted you from behind.’
‘I missed you a lot while you were in the Dwarf Village, and I wanted to tell you something you’d like when you come back, so I picked and picked a nice horse, but no matter how much I think about it, I think this one is the coolest. love you. And thank you for always worrying about me.’
It has been over 20 years since Audrit passed away.
He had been with him all his life, not because of affection, sympathy, or affection, but because he fell in love with the only woman he had pursued only for love. Life without her was always lonely.
I pretended to be calm in front of others, but the void was not filled with anything.
But now the end of the long winter was approaching.
The person I was longing for was right in front of me.
“Isn’t the garden pretty?”
“yes.”
Maru’s eyes were full of tears as she looked at her who came next to her.
Seeing such a floor, she looked at it with a surprised face.
“Why are you crying?”
“Because of you.”
Tears fell from Maru’s eyes.
Audrey blinked and stared blankly at him before asking.
“In the past life, no, in the future, we… You said they were a couple, right?”
“yes. were a couple. I also gave birth to a child.”
“Did you think of that time?”
“yes.”
“… … ”
She was silent for a moment.
While staring at Maru’s face and the tear marks alternately, he turned his gaze to the distant landscape.
The wind blew through each strand of her hair.
Audrit opened her mouth, brushing her hair behind her ears.
“I met wizard Lucy earlier. He told me incredible stories.”
“Do you think what she said was a lie?”
“I am confused. To me, you are just a stranger I met today.”
“I understand how you feel.”
“But, as if I had looked closely at my body, I knew the location of the mole on my body… ”
When Audrit glanced at him, Maru sniffed and smiled.
“Did you say you knew a lot about me?”
“I know everything. I like grapes for fruit, I grind carrots every morning and drink juice, and I know that I dreamed of becoming a knight after seeing Alexia, a warrior in my childhood.
“Amazing.”
Audrit laughed at the absurdity.
Then he lowered his gaze and spoke slowly.
“Honestly, the stories you are telling are hard to believe and I am afraid, but I will try.”
She raised her head and smiled brightly.
“Because I won’t push you away. Make me fall in love with you again.”
Instead of answering, Maru responded by making a heart shape with both hands.
Seeing that, Audrey burst into laughter.
“cute. Try it one more time.”
“like this?”
“haha! fun. Take that first.”
Audrey now has a lot of laughs like a cheerful girl.
It felt good.
It didn’t seem like it would take long to fall in love again.
***
One year later.
Basilite Kingdom.
A joint wedding ceremony was held between Maru and the five prospective brides.
“Teacher. Can we come to a place like this?”
“All of them are nobles. I feel depressed for nothing.”
“Come on, let’s all walk hand in hand so you don’t get lost.”
Spacious wedding hall.
Lloris, dressed in priestly clothes, was looking around with his disciples.
“Who is the crown prince?”
One day, the crown prince of the Raiskan Daria empire sent a wedding invitation to Joris.
It was a wedding invitation from someone she had never met, so at first she thought it might have been sent by mistake, but to her surprise, her name was written correctly along with a simple greeting in the invitation.
In addition, since he had sent enough travel expenses, Lloris eventually came a long way with his disciples to watch the wedding of the century that will go down in history.
“Does it look like him?”
“I am like him too.”

Joris strode forward and greeted Maru politely.
Then Maru recognized him at once and hugged him warmly.
Lloris was puzzled, but it felt good to have a celebrity recognize him.
“thank you for the invitation. I will pray for you to live well with the priests.”
“Thank you. Oh, I want to order some potions from you periodically.”
“A potion… ?”
After a while, a luxurious wedding was held by the king himself.
Maru, who was neatly dressed, appeared first and stood in front of the officiating king, receiving cheers from many people, followed by five beautifully dressed brides who appeared at the same time.
“Oh oh!”
“Wow… !”
“They are tax-free beauties!”
Each and every one of them was as beautiful as an angel, and the guests were mesmerized with admiration.
“Miss Audrit, will you live your whole life looking only at your husband?”
“yes.”
“Miss Lucy, will you live your whole life looking only at your groom?”
“Of course not.”
“Miss Natalie, will you live your whole life looking only at your groom?”
“I will love you until you get tired of it! Wow!”
At Natalie’s powerful cry, laughter erupted from the audience.
“Miss Luciella, will you live your whole life looking only at your groom?”
“Nari is my everything. yes.”
“Miss Hergantia, will you live your whole life looking only at your groom?”
“I think he will die before me, but… For now, yes.”
“Finally, I will ask the groom. Will the groom cherish, respect, and love these five beautiful brides for the rest of their lives?”
Maru took a deep breath after swallowing saliva at the feeling that spread to the bottom of his chest.
‘I came back for that.’
he cried out.
“yes! I will love you forever!”
I ran with the determination not to repeat the mistakes in the future.
I want to make everyone happy.
It was the moment that dream came true.
After the wedding, the brides flocked to Maru, kissed him, and waved at the guests with delighted faces.
“i love you.”
“Finally, we are officially married.”
“Floor! no, no… me, my husband… ! Aww shame! Hehe. But good.”
“Am I the first succubus to marry a human?”
“I’m also a god, but somehow I ended up marrying a human. I did it because I liked it.”
The cheers and applause of the guests resounded endlessly, and Maru was happier than anyone else in the world that day.

warrior Maru,

Magic Swordsman Hergantia,
wizard Lucy,
Warlock Luciella,
Saint Audrey,
In addition to this, a mercenary (?) accompanied her on an adventure to Galatea.
“How is the skill of the demon king this time? In our time, the crazy dwarf was the demon king.”
Galatea seemed to be following for fun.
“It’s good if you can hold out against us for a second.”
Lucy laughed.
Natalie was already screaming in front of me with so much energy.
“Everyone come quickly! Too late! We have to move before it gets dark!”
Audrit and Hergantia were talking while walking side by side on a mountain path,
“ah… You can use the holy flame this way, right?”
“Leave the sparks on your fingers in the air. If used well, it can be used as offensive magic.”
Luciella was clinging to the floor.
“Dear babe? What do you think?”
“I thought of the old days.”
“When?”
“When me and Kiera were at the same party.”
“Huh? Remember Keira?”
“little?”
“Did you say you were in the Empire?”
“yes. I’m living as a lady-in-waiting.”
“After we subdue the demon king, we will all go to the empire, so we’ll see you soon.”
“I guess so.”
“Are you going to take care of that girl?”
Maru smiled calmly at Luciella’s question.
“yes. I have to take care of it. She’s my sister.”
Because everyone should be happy.
A few weeks later, the news that the demon king had been subdued was widely known around the world.
Humankind praised Maru and his five wives for their great achievements.
After that, they began to call them ‘the warriors of the sun and the brides of the light’.
However, their activity did not last long.
