End. kiss of oath

 forgot. Me and Elizabeth hadn't finished kissing their vows yet.
 People's eyes are focused on the balcony that protrudes toward the garden. And the gaze from the hall also contained a lot of expectations with just that word.
 Silent kiss calls from the inside and outside.
 
 I put my hand on Elizabeth's waist and turned to face her.
 A roar is heard from outside. I want a little more moody roar. Music or something... just when I thought about it, the waiting orchestra started playing, and the hustle and bustle was drowned out.
 
 I calm myself down and smile at Elizabeth. However, I noticed something.
 
 The face that should have been closer is moving away. ...Elizabeth, is she getting smaller?
 
“I took off my heels so that Lars-sama’s back wouldn’t hurt.”
 
 Elizabeth smiled as she sensed my surprise.
 If you turn around, you'll find a row of pure white wedding shoes in the corner of the balcony. Elizabeth lifted her head and stared at me from her front.
 Wearing a pure white dress and a softly colored bouquet, Elizabeth seems to be the personification of charity.
 
 ――Ten years ago, when I first met Elizabeth.
 Elizabeth in heels was a little taller than me in secret shoes. I remembered her mother's words, "You can't grow big if you're always picky," and she blamed herself for being an unbalanced eater.
 
 I have changed since then.
 He has honed everything from literary and military arts, manners, health management to humanity. Unfortunately, it was revealed by Plum that she had some problems with her humanity... Elizabeth accepted it, and she gave me her trust.
 
 I looked around.
 For ten years after I fell in love with Elizabeth at first sight, everyone who was close to the king encouraged me, taught me magic and swordsmanship as a private tutor, and helped me grow. My sons have hit me with ice stares, teased me, and didn't read the atmosphere... but they're good friends.
 Connections made outside the country. People overflowing outside the royal palace.
 
 Everyone was smiling and happy.
 There's no way me and Elizabeth can't stop smiling after being blessed by them.
 
 this isgate・Exit・. It's a start, not a goal. Of me and Elizabeth's lovey-dovey newlywed life.
 We are about to take a step towards happiness as far as the eye can see.
 
"Elizabeth, I will love you forever, and I vow to keep trying to be a man worthy of the throne with you."
“Yes, I too… I will always walk next to His Highness Vincent.”
 
 Tears welled up in Amethyst's eyes.
 I put my hand on Elizabeth's arm and walked over. Without rebelling, Elizabeth entrusted herself to her.
 
 I bent over for Elizabeth who lost her heels.
 
 A blush runs down Elizabeth's cheeks.
 However, his eyelids were immediately lowered, and I slowly closed my eyes as well.
 
 The shadows of the two overlap.
 
 The country of Ulhara was surrounded by loud cheers.

Extra edition. this is a great show

 The wedding of Prince Vincent and his fiancée, the Duke's daughter Elizabeth, was naturally a matter of great interest to the citizens of the royal capital.
 The current royal couple got married twenty years ago. It was a gorgeous ceremony.
 Royal weddings are rare, so as a citizen of the royal capital, I have to go see it no matter what—Amelia was determined to do so.
 She is the landlady of the butcher that Vincent and Elizabeth visited that day. Her husband Dim is sighing next to her.
 
"Isn't it better to see it from the window of the house?"
“From my house, I can only see the gap in the main street! I have to stay in front of the royal palace!
"I wonder why my wife is so girlish..."
“I wonder why my husband doesn’t understand this excitement!?”
 
 While arguing, the two headed for the royal palace early in the morning and took up positions slightly away from the main gate. Dim shrugged his shoulders as the surroundings were already crowded with people who had also gathered to watch the royal wedding.
 He thinks of Amelia as a good wife who is obedient, cheerful, and seems to be having fun with anything, and even bothers the swordsmen whose origins are unknown and the baron's daughters who are said to be their masters, but――this is the only thing he doesn't understand. Even so, there must be a problem with me who sticks to this thing.
 
 They spent time there until the ceremony began, watching the bride enter the royal palace.
 A golden chariot drawn by four white horses. It was truly astonishing. As expected of Dim, he stared at it with his mouth wide open.
 But the princess Amelia wanted to see was just a glimpse of the window of the carriage with the lace.
 
"In the end, it was only for a moment that I could see the princess's face."
"The real thing will be later. After the prince and princess have taken their vows at the royal palace, they will come out onto the balcony. Then the parade will begin."
 
 Dim fell silent after being slapped by the well-informed Amelia. She decided that she could not go home yet.
 Then Dim raised his face as he opened the book on hand to kill the waiting time.
 A peculiar noise was coming in from across the main street like a wave. If you look, the people are all staring at the opposite end of the main street, the outskirts of the royal capital.
 
 Dim and Amelia also turned their gaze to that direction,
 
"... what is it?"
 
 I was at a loss for words when I saw the sight that jumped in.
 
 A giant purple cat with a cloak.
 A large group of cats of various colors running around.
 
 The cat was making a fuss about something, but neither Dim nor Amelia really understood what it meant.
 
“Is that also a parade?”
"Maybe so. It's big, but it's a cat... it doesn't feel too dangerous."
 
 The people around me seemed to feel the same way. She is clapping her hands while cheering.
 In the meantime, a huge shadow crossed the main street again.
 No, even though it was a shadow, it shone with holy pure white. White scales with blue horns, and a noble gold ornament pattern on its back.
 A dragon that was thought to be extinct――it is also a holy dragon that is said to bring blessings to the earth.
 
 On the dragon's back are two figures also dressed in white.
 A young man with flaxen hair and blue eyes, looking sharply at a giant cat, and a maiden with golden hair and a fluttering veil who seems to have escaped from a fairy tale. She holds a pale bouquet in her gorgeous dress.
 Her profile looks exactly like the princess I caught a glimpse of from the carriage earlier, no, she must be herself.
 In other words, the two are the main characters of this ceremony, the bridegroom, the crown prince, and the bride, the daughter of a duke.
 
"Then, isn't this part of the ceremony?"
"I see... yes, dragons also appear in myths... Maybe they hold such events at special ceremonies."
 
 Amelia nodded at Dim's words.
 A giant cat shoots lightning in front of you. They scattered like flowers over Amelia's heads.
 It must be a fireworks salute on a special day.
  
 Debris from the lightning strike flew in, but the soldiers cleared it before it reached the onlookers.
 In addition, everyone's pendants and rings are shining here and there. Dim's glasses also lit up. It belongs to the general store that the Queen set up when she was single. In places with light, flying objects were repelled and did not harm people.
 A fantastic glow envelops people.
 
 This is a demonstration.
 A message from the royal family that no matter what happens, the people will protect us.
 
 The citizens of the royal capital persuaded themselves to see such a surreal sight.
 
 Before long, just as the onlookers had expected, the giant cat stopped attacking and seemed to lean on the two who were riding on the holy dragon. The body shrinks and is carried in the prince's arms.
 
 All of a sudden, the royal capital erupted in cheers.
 Groom and Bride Leisurelyholy white dragonSaint DragonWhile waving to the people from behind, they returned to the royal palace.
 
 On the way, I suddenly met the prince.
 
"--a"
 
 Seeing it up close brought back memories. While she was thinking, the pure white bride also turned around and looked at me with a surprised expression as expected.
 Both of them clearly recognized Amelia personally, not as a citizen of the royal capital.
 
 He taps the shoulder of the next dim, and calls attention.
 
"Hey you, those people are the young lady Rika-chan was guarding and her attendants...!!"
"What are you talking about?"
 
 Dim shrugged his shoulders in amazement, but Amelia didn't get angry. I don't have time for that. She stares as she eats two dragon-backed people.
 Even if the maiden doesn't have glasses and her hairstyle is different, the atmosphere is very similar. And more than that, a prince. Although his hair color is different from that of his attendant, his features are exactly the same.
 Amelia realized that it was actually unnecessary meddlesome to support the love of the social difference.
 
"This must be a better country than ever before!"
 
 Amelia was fascinated by the two who shyly waved their hands and turned around.
