The Corpse Groom's Lovely Lady [Corpse Groom X Reader]

(F/n) was still standing by his desk in his office as he looked at the door with an anxious look on his face. Ever since the moment (Y/n) ran out of his office, there was this heavy feeling in his chest that he couldn't just shake it off. Though he didn't show it, (F/n) was very happy and relieved when he saw that (Y/n) was back to their home safe and sound, but he only ended up scolding her instead of listening to her properly.

(F/n) recalled of the way his daughter smiled at him with a happy but sad look on her face, the feeling in his chest only getting heavier and heavier as he did so. 'Why did she say goodbye all of a sudden like she was really about to go somewhere with such a sorrowful look on her face and why did she suddenly start saying that she's married to Edward who's been long dead since five years ago?' he pondered in his head, pinching the bridge of his nose with a heavy sigh.

"Just what in the world happened to her?" he mumbled, thinking out loud and just when he said that, Loen, Lyra and Raymond rushed into the room with anxious looks of their own on their faces. "Father, it's true! (Y/n)...she's really married to Edward! We saw him!" Loen told him while panting heavily with Lyra and Raymond doing the same, indicating that the three had run all the way here in a hurry. Loen's word perked (F/n)'s interest again at the mention of Edward as he looked at his son with a questioning look. "What?? Are you saying that he's alive?" he asked and Loen shook his head, finally catching his breathe, "No. He's dead. But he's still alive as a corpse and is married with (Y/n)."

(F/n) looked at his son with a frown on his face as if he's gone mad. "A corpse? Loen, did you even hear what you just said? How can a corpse be alive and married with (Y/n)? Edward's dead! You all need to accept that," he argued back, having heard enough about this whole news about Edward still being alive as a corpse and that his daughter was married to him. "But we're telling the truth. We really saw him standing and looking alive with (Y/n). S-She could be needing our help!" Lyra said and that's when Raymond decided to chime in while shaking his head, "No, I don't think that's the case."

(F/n) was quite taken back when he realized that his daughter-in-law and Raymond was in this as well. Doubt started to take over his mind and slowly, a part of him was starting to believe that all of them, including (Y/n) was telling the truth, "What are you suggesting, Raymond?"

"You may not believe what we're saying, sir. But it's true that we saw our fallen commander with Lady (Y/n). And...I saw it clearly. Lady (Y/n) could've escaped easily if she wanted to, but she didn't. She went to him willingly and asked the commander to take her away herself which means that she didn't need our help. And even if she did, I believe that we can only help her by fulfilling her wishes," Raymond said and Loen rose his brow, carefully considering his words. Raymond was right about the fact that (Y/n) went to Edward willingly before the two of them disappeared right before our eyes. It was bizarre enough that they just saw Edward who was really still alive as a corpse, but (Y/n) being married to him was just a whole new level of madness for them!

How can the living and the dead can be married?!

Then again, as crazy as it was, it was also the first time Loen's seen his sister truly happy again for the first time in five years while she was telling him and Lyra about everything that happened to her while she was gone. She was almost like...her old self again, the girl who was always smiling brightly with joy before she lost Edward one day.

Loen sighed heavily at his own thoughts, the living marrying the dead sounded pretty absurd to anyone who hears it, even to him. But...even though Edward was dead and was now a living corpse, he still loves (Y/n) just like he always had when he was still alive. And not only that, it seems like his sister still loves Edward back to the point she doesn't care that he was dead. So if even death can't separate the two lovers apart and if being with Edward makes (Y/n) truly happy like her old self again...who was he to stop her from it? After all, Loen was the one who knows best about how much Edward meant to (Y/n). How she's never taken her ring off once, how she rejected every man who asked for her hand and how she dearly kept everything she and Edward shared to today even after Edward's tragic accident were the very proofs that his sister still has Edward in her heart after all these years and has never forgotten about him for once.
