It is a small chapel inside the palace of the Lemurian Empire.

　There are four women and three men there.
　That is, Carolina, Lunalie, Cecilia, Nia, Hercule, Titus, and Loukanos, for a total of seven people.

　Carolina and Lunalie are dressed in modest dresses, while Titus and Loukanos are in modest ceremonial dress.
　Cecilia is in her formal dress as a medium, ......
　Hercule wore a fancy ceremonial dress and Nia wore a beautiful white wedding dress.

　It looks good on you, doesn't it?
　...... Yes, thank you.

　Nia smiled happily.
　The off-the-shoulder, slender-line wedding dress suited Nia, who was tall and thin.
　The color of the wedding dress is white, but it is not exactly pure white. ......
　It has a slight peach tint to it to match her hair color.

　From a small hole in her buttocks, a cute ...... heart-shaped tail was sticking out, swaying in a good mood.

　I'm sorry. I'm going to start now.

　Cecilia coughed lightly and then carried out the wedding ceremony in a solemn voice.

　"...... Both of you, do you swear?
　"I swear." "I swear.

　When they finally say their vows, Cecilia has a complicated expression on her face, a mixture of joy and jealousy, for a moment, and then her expression shifts to her usual earnest blankness.

　"Then kiss your vows.

　Hercule lifted Nia's veil and kissed her on the cheek.
　Nia's face is enraptured.

　"I love you, .......
　"I love you too, Nia.

　When Hercule said this, ......
　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

　"Ugh. ...... Guffaw. ......
　"Hey, hey, what's wrong?
　I'm sorry, I'm ...... so happy. ......

　Hercule took out a handkerchief and wiped Nia's tears away.
　Nia smiles happily through her tears.

　I didn't think at the time that I would live to see ...... and get married.
　I never thought when I picked you up that we would end up married either.

　Hercule said and stroked Nia's hair.
　Nia looked up at Hercule.

　"Your Majesty, thank you so much for ......
　"Hmm ......, that's my line. Please continue to serve me with all your heart and soul.　
　Yes!



　You and Your Majesty wore wedding dresses that night. ...... What's wrong?　Cecilia, you don't look well.
　...... That's the tenth time I've told you that.

　Cecilia said sullenly. 　
　Two weeks have passed since Nia and Hercule's secret wedding.

　Their wedding was a secret, and the number of attendees was limited. ......
　There are a few people who do not know that Nia and Hercule have a special relationship.

　In the near future, Nia will be independent from the Lucarios family, but that is still a long way off.

　"Huh?　Is that right?
　I wish I had to listen to the same love story every time I met ....... I wish I could hear the same love stories every time I see you.

　Cecilia said, tapping her index finger on the desk.
　Even if Cecilia is in a bad mood, she rarely shows it on her face or in her attitude.
　The fact that Cecilia is expressing her displeasure indicates that she is ...... quite pissed off.

　You'll find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.

　"So how about a non-slutty story?
　What are you talking about?
　"Me and Your Majesty's family plan. I've been thinking about how many children I'm going to have, and I've actually been reading a dictionary of names lately. ......
　That's the umpteenth time I've heard that story!

　Bang!
　Cecilia slammed her fist on the desk.
　Cecilia slammed her fist on the desk. Nia finally noticed that Cecilia was in a bad mood.

　"What's wrong?　Cecilia. Menstruation?
　...... Since we got married, even our words and actions have become similar.

　Cecilia let out a sigh.

　It's good that you're happy, yes. ...... As your best friend, I'm happy for you. But!　You should be a little more careful. Yeah, you know what I mean.
　"What?　Cecilia, are you jealous?

　Nia smirked.
　Cecilia then looked really, really unhappy at ......

　"Ch.

　And then Cecilia clucked her tongue.
　You can find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing.

　"I'm sorry ......, don't be so angry.
　...... I'm not mad at you.


　"Oh, yeah?

　This is absolutely angry: ......
　Nia looked at Cecilia, who had a rare, almost murderous look in her eyes, and said.

　"Well, Cecilia...
　What is it?
　I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.
　...... Tell me the rest of the story.

　Cecilia glared at him, as if to say, "Don't interrupt me.
　I'm not sure what to say.

　I'm sure you're not the only one.
　"......Yes. I think I need to get myself together, yeah, I think I need to get myself together!　It's good that someone else is free to marry whoever they want, yeah, I'm jealous!

　Cecilia's anger had finally reached its peak, and she kicked the desk with a crunch.
　Cecilia's change of heart made Nia look frightened.

　I'm not sure what you mean by that. It's not that I don't like it.
　"......

　Then Cecilia stopped kicking the desk.
　Then she stopped kicking the desk and stirred her tea with a spoon, resting her cheek on it.

　"Well, ......, what do you think?
　"What do you think about ......?　You like it, don't you?
　"...... Are you saying that to ridicule me?

　Cecilia glared at Nia.
　Nia's face paled.

　"No, no!　It's not like that at all!　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to make the most out of it.　I'm sure you've heard of it, but I'm not sure if it's true or not.

　"...... I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I'm sure you have a bad personality, but it's not that bad.
　"......

　I'm sure I'm not a very good person, but isn't that a terrible thing to say?
　I'm sure I don't have a very good personality, but isn't that a bit harsh?

　Cecilia seemed to be in a really bad mood today.

　It's a good thing I'm not in a bad mood. Yes, ...... I'm not very well.
　Oh, really? ...... Well, take care of yourself?
　Yes ...... Well, that's the thing, marriage. Your Majesty and .......

　Cecilia let out a sigh.
　Cecilia is sighing a lot today.

　You're going to be ......, aren't you, Hercule?
　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

　Hercule is very determined to impregnate Cecilia.
　But Cecilia seems to have a different idea.

　As a medium, I think it would be better if we didn't ...... get married.
　Why is that?
　Because ...... that man wants to take control of the Church of Messiah.

　Right now, Hercule and Cecilia have the same goal in mind.
　It's a banner of overthrowing Gregory the Great.
　The anti-papal banner.

　However, the political and religious views of Hercule and Cecilia are not compatible.

　Hercule wants to control the Church of Messiah politically.
　Cecilia wants to maintain the independence of the Church of Messiah.

　One day, they will part company.

　I feel like if I get married, ...... I'll be taken in.
　That's ...... probably true.

　You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this.
　If she and Hercule were to become husband and wife, Cecilia would be completely swallowed up.

　The medium would become an ornament to her imperial power.

　But, Cecilia. But, Cecilia. ...... You've been doing it a lot, haven't you?
　...... Do what?
　That's the one.

　She made a circle with her left hand and inserted the fingers of her right hand.
　A woman's best friend ...... is not reserved.

　I'm not sure ...... that's the right word to describe it. I'm not sure if that's the right word, but I've done it a fair amount.
　"Are you on birth control?
　...... Because God forbid you should.
　I know.

　God's teaching is not to use contraception.

　Your Majesty is a long-eared elf, so it's hard for you to get pregnant, but if you do ...... a few, you'll be able to.
　I'm aware of the ...... safe days.
　"But when you can do it, you can do it. What do you do?
　......That's when it happens.

　Then you'll have to give birth secretly.


　And Cecilia was prepared for it inwardly.

　It's not like Cecilia to not think about ...... the future.
　...... I'm a girl in love too.

　This is not a matter of logic, but of emotion.
　In Cecilia's case, however, the problem was that she hadn't been able to completely follow her emotions.

　Her strong reasoning urges her to refrain at the halfway point.

　"Why don't you get married?
　"...... I can't do that. I have a mission to protect the Church of the Messiah.
　"Then why don't you be strong?

　Cecilia tilted her head at Nia's words.

　"...... What do you mean?
　I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm not sure what to say.

　I'm not sure which one to choose, Hercule or Cecilia?
　If asked to choose between Hercule and Cecilia, Nia would choose Hercule without hesitation.

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

　At least give her a good talking to.
　Nia thought.

　"Do you think ...... I can beat Lord Hercule?
　I don't think so.　But isn't that your goal?　You said that a long time ago.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

　It was. What I did was ...... forget my initial feelings. I'm sure you're right. ...... Even Hercule is a human being. There's no reason why I can't win .......

　Cecilia mumbled in a whisper and then smiled at Nia.

　Thank you, Nia. I've got my first goal, thanks to you. ...... You're right!　All I have to do is learn to be that good!

　Cecilia stood up.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to do it. ...... I'll acquire enough power to not be taken in by Hercule-sama, and I'll definitely marry her!

　Cecilia then walked away.
　I'm not sure what to do.

　"...... did I go too far?
