Re:Zero-Marriage Will Be the King of Curses

The air was filled with the gentle rays of the sun as it shone over the city, bustling with lively excitement. The streets were teeming with people hurrying from one place to another while children joyfully played their games.

A grand feast had been organized for Emperor Natsuma's wedding ceremony. This celebration, where everyone participated wholeheartedly, infused the city's atmosphere with fun and cheerfulness. The Emperor's decree was clear: anyone not enjoying or working on this day would be penalized. However, despite the order, everyone knew it was a special and joyous occasion. Thus, despite the decree, everyone was having fun in their own way, reveling in the happiness of the day.

As the wedding ceremony approached, the excitement in the city heightened. Everyone was in high spirits, eager to celebrate this special day and share in Natsuma's happiness. Although Natsuma was known to be a stern and ruthless leader, it was also a well-known fact that he valued his people. He made efforts to enrich his people, taking significant steps to improve their well-being. Initiatives such as opening orphanages, organizing job training programs, and supporting schools in rural areas were led by him.

Natsuma's endeavors aimed to better the living conditions of his people. Despite his strict and authoritarian demeanor, his efforts to improve the welfare of his citizens and spearhead various social and educational projects portrayed him as both a ruthless leader and a sensitive administrator for his people.

Natsuma, or rather Subaru, was completing his preparations in his room. He meticulously combed his hair, carefully chose his attire, striving for a perfect appearance.

Standing beside him, the wolfman Halibel wore a black kimono with a sword at his waist. "You look magnificent, Boss," he said sincerely.

Subaru replied with gratitude, "Thanks, Halibel," then added teasingly, "You should dress up like this; maybe you'll find a girl or something."

Halibel, somewhat shyly, chuckled in response to Subaru's teasing tone. "Oh, come on, Boss. It's been a while for me," he said with a sigh. Despite being accustomed to Subaru's sense of humor, adapting to these kinds of situations could sometimes be challenging.

Subaru completed the final details and carefully examined himself in the mirror. He wore a black hakama and a white yukata with a tightly fastened sash at his waist. His gaze focused on the black tattoo marks on his face and the two smaller eyes just beneath his own. Other than his four arms and another semi-visible feature, he appeared generally normal.

These unique features indicated that he was a different entity. However, Subaru was aware of this situation and had long been accustomed to managing this special condition. These features were part of his identity and did not surprise or concern him.

He looked at his reflection in the mirror one last time and with a faint smile said to himself, "Alright, time to go." With confidence, he added, "The bride awaits me." He was filled with excitement and peace as he prepared to head towards the place where the wedding ceremony would take place.

As Subaru stepped outside, the elite and dignitaries of the country were gathered at the ceremony venue. The crowd was filled with excitement and anticipation as Emperor Natsuma's wedding was a grand event.

As Subaru scanned the crowd, he murmured to himself, "There she is." And right in front of him stood Rem. His eyes captured her elegant red and white dress, her magnificent appearance. The genuine smile on Rem's face was a source of happiness that quickly made Subaru's heart beat faster.

Rem awaited Subaru with a loving gaze. As Subaru approached her, they were amidst the crowd and a splendid atmosphere. Rem's grace and beauty made this special day even more extraordinary.

Subaru approached Rem and with a heartfelt smile said, "Here you are." Rem looked at him with eyes filled with love, saying, "Yes, here I am." As a couple ready to step into this new life, they waited for the ceremony to begin.

An elderly man stepped onto the platform and began his speech with pride: "Dear guests and valued friends, today we have gathered here to share the happiness of two young individuals. Marriage is the union of love and loyalty, a bond where two hearts are intertwined."

However, the elderly man's speech was interrupted by Subaru. "Hey, old man, cut it short!" he interjected sharply. For a moment, the old man was taken aback, then took a deep breath and continued.

"If anyone objects to this marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace," he said, with sincere solemnity.

With this statement, Halibel lightly unsheathed his sword, and Subaru cast a slightly threatening glance at the crowd. But the expected objection never came. Everyone remained silent.

As the elderly man evaluated the situation, he murmured, "That's what I thought."

The elderly man, with the authority vested in him, declared, "And I, based on the authority given by Lord Natsuma, pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss."

Subaru and Rem shared a kiss to celebrate this happy moment. Subaru's height made him bend slightly, but this did not overshadow their happiness. Sharing a loving kiss, they joyfully marked the beginning of their marriage amid the excitement and applause of the crowd.

As this romantic moment unfolded amidst the enthusiasm and applause of the crowd, Subaru embraced Rem in bridal style, and Rem, with a bewildered expression, said, "Subaru-kun."

Subaru turned to Halibel and said, "No one will disturb us. If anyone tries, I'll start with a warning by cutting off their head. If they try again, I'll cut their leg. Alright?" Then, he and Rem ran towards the bedroom together.

Halibel nodded after Subaru left. "Where's the drinks table?" he murmured."
