While the wedding party continued in full swing, with laughter and music filling the air, Hori and Miyamura managed to quietly slip away. The two of them, hand in hand, made their way to the top of their castle, sneaking through the corridors unnoticed. As they reached the top, the sight before them took their breath away.

Below them, their kingdom, Tempest, was alive with celebration. Lights twinkled throughout the streets, and the joyous cheers of their people reached their ears even from the castle. The night sky above them was a blanket of stars, twinkling like tiny diamonds against the deep blue canvas. It was peaceful and beautiful, and for a moment, it felt like they were the only two people in the world.

"They're all so happy," Hori whispered, her gaze fixed on the people below.

"They should be. They helped us build all of this," Miyamura replied, his voice soft as he pulled her closer. "But I think tonight... is our night."

Hori turned her head to look into his eyes. There was something in his gaze-love, admiration, and deep appreciation for everything they had been through together. Without another word, Miyamura leaned in and kissed her softly. The warmth of his lips against hers was comforting, a silent promise of everything they had been through and everything they would face together. As they pulled apart, they smiled, their foreheads resting against each other.

"The stars look beautiful tonight," Hori murmured, her eyes flickering between the sky and Miyamura's face.

"They do," Miyamura agreed, his voice tender. "But not as beautiful as you."

Hori blushed, playfully nudging him. "You're such a romantic now."

He chuckled, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Well, I did just marry the most amazing woman in the world."

They stood there for a few more minutes, simply enjoying the calm of the night, the serenity of the stars, and the love between them. Then, hand in hand, they made their way back inside.

After the wedding ceremony, they decided to relax together, retreating to their private bath. The atmosphere was warm and serene, the water rippling gently around them as they leaned back, letting the steam ease their muscles. Hori rested against Miyamura, her head on his chest, while he absentmindedly ran his fingers through her hair.

"I still can't believe we're married," Hori said, her voice soft and reflective. "It feels like only yesterday we were back in our world, living such different lives."

"Yeah," Miyamura agreed, his voice equally thoughtful. "From high school sweethearts to the king and queen of a kingdom. It's almost too much to take in."

Hori lifted her head to meet his gaze, her eyes filled with love and emotion. "But I wouldn't trade any of it. Not a single moment. I'd go through it all again, just to end up here, with you."

Miyamura smiled, his heart swelling at her words. He pulled her closer, kissing her forehead gently. "Me too. I never imagined this kind of life for us, but I wouldn't want it with anyone else. You make it all worth it."

They shared a long, deep look, the connection between them stronger than ever. Their journey had been incredible, filled with challenges and triumphs, but through it all, they had each other. They kissed again, this time longer, the warmth of the moment wrapping around them like the steam from the bath.

Just as the moment was becoming more intimate, a sudden knock on the door startled them both.

"Lady Hori! Lord Miyamura! We need to discuss something urgent," came Benimaru's voice from the other side.

Both Hori and Miyamura groaned in unison, their peaceful moment shattered.

"Seriously?" Miyamura muttered under his breath.

"We better go," Hori sighed, reluctantly pulling away from him.

They hurriedly got out of the bath, grabbing whatever clothes they could find in their rush. Hori ended up wearing a loose shirt, though a few buttons at the top were left open, while Miyamura only managed to pull on a pair of shorts. They were both still damp from the bath, and their hair clung to their faces as they rushed to the meeting hall.

When they arrived, they were greeted by a room full of surprised looks. Shuna blushed deeply, quickly averting her gaze, while Benimaru stammered an apology for interrupting.

Shion, on the other hand, couldn't resist teasing them. "Well, well! Looks like the newlyweds were having quite the private celebration, huh?" She winked playfully.

Veldora burst out laughing. "You two really couldn't wait, could you? That's some dedication!"

Even the usually elegant Diablo raised an eyebrow, though a small smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. "I suppose we'll need to be more mindful of our timing in the future."

Completely flustered, Hori and Miyamura glanced at each other, both realizing how their hasty appearance must have looked. Hori's shirt was still half-open, and Miyamura was practically shirtless.

"No, no! It's not what you think!" Hori stammered, her face burning as she tried to explain.

"Yeah, we just-uh-we were in a hurry!" Miyamura added, equally embarrassed.

Their friends simply laughed, not believing a word of it.

"Well, we're happy you're enjoying married life so much," Veldora teased, his grin wide.

Hori hid her face in Miyamura's shoulder, completely mortified, while Miyamura scratched the back of his head awkwardly, his face just as red.

Despite their embarrassment, there was a warmth in the room, a shared sense of joy and camaraderie that made them both smile. After a few more teasing remarks, the conversation shifted back to the urgent matter that had brought them there, but the laughter lingered, reminding them of how loved and supported they were.

As the meeting continued, Hori and Miyamura exchanged a glance, a silent conversation passing between them. Despite all the teasing, all the chaos, they knew they had something special. And no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, as they always had.

The chapter ended with their friends still laughing, and Hori and Miyamura blushing but happy, knowing that they were surrounded by people who cared deeply for them.
