How can life be so shitty?

“Do you, Rurutia Brucke, take Count Hyde to be your husband?”

“Hah…”

The new bride, Rurutia, sighed instead of answering.

Count Hyde, who stood far of her ideals, could not be accepted as her husband.

Beyond the fact that he was thirty years old, Hyde was someone to have a marriage with many problems.

In less than a year, he was going to have an affair with another woman and was planning to poison Rurutia.

God is so indifferent.

I tried to escape my father’s violence at best, but this time, do I will die while running to my unfaithful husband?

“Rurutia Brucke.”

I was going to die of anguish, but the priest on the platform just kept insisting.

I couldn’t help it during the wedding. Once the wedding is over, I have to think about the future.

“I…”

Rurutia, who raised her head to curse, closed her mouth.

It was because I had a perfect statue that I could see in the temple.

Fine silver hair finely trimmed, purple eyes clear as amethyst. It was a statue that felt strong even
though he was wearing a priest’s uniform, a symbol of abstinence.

“You could answer”

What do you say?

The perfect sculpture fascinated me without fail, and I lost my words.

“Can’t you hear me?”

The statue moved its lips as Rurutia watched it.

It was a person.

Who was this beautiful statue?

The high priest decided to take over the weekly meeting, so he was told that he would be replaced by another priest.

Being a priest was an office of age.

He seemed to be in his early twenties, and he was like a minor priest who had just finished his practice.

Well…

After thinking about it, it was a chance to have the wedding annulled.

At least, the wedding to Count Hyde, who was planning to poison his future wife, that could be bitter…

“Can the priest under oath tell me if he likes someone?”

The priest who climbed to the pedestal frowned slightly.

“A lover?”

“Yes.”

Priests who serve God can not been able to have a lifelong relationship.

His question was very rude.

The priest looked down instead of the answer. His eyebrows trembled.

“I don’t like anyone.”

“……”

“What a relief. Please ask me as compensation whatever you want.”

Those were good words.

If he were a priest who valued family honor, I’d pay compensation to calm the commotion.

Rurutia threw the bouquet and stole the priest’s lips, not her husband’s.

I thought he would be as cold as marble, but his lips were warm and soft.

It was a short kiss, so she could not feel a great variety of sensations.

She withdrew her lips and smiled at the priest. It meant ‘you mustn’t worry, just believe in me.’

Even though his lips were stolen, he’d go home with a lot of money.

The priest, who had lost his lips, did not understand what had happened, staggered and took a step back.

For the moment, the quiet hall was mixed with prayers, shouts, whistles and all sorts of noise.

Meanwhile, Count Hyde shouted.

“Madam, what is this?”

“I took the oath, and now I am a wife.”

“You’re going to get married soon, and you’re going to marry me!”

“Unfortunately, I gave the priest a kiss of oath. Marriage has no validity.”

Hyde’s excited face turned red. It would be nice if you backed up and fell down.

“How dare a bitch dare to put me through such shame!”

He raised his hand high.

If I decided, I can easily avoid it, but I chose to endure it.

Hit the bride in front of a large crowd. It would have been the easier way to break off the engagement.

The hand of the old man must be hot.

I would rather take a blow and survive.

“Ouch!”

Instead of clicking his cheek, the old man let out a painful scream.

This was because the paladin, who stood near the platform, blocked that dog’s palm with a gauntlet. Hyde’s hand hit the hard, swollen armor.

“Count Hyde, stand back.”

That was not the end.

The paladins of the entire temple stood out and stood in front of Rurutia. Sighs and prayers burst out from all the majestic appearance of the silver-armored paladins.

They surrounded her as if trying to protect Rurutia.

Count Hyde, who was crushed by the pressure of the knights, shouted.

“What is this?!”

“That’s what we want to know.”

The paladin, who was in the vanguard, looked at the little Count Hyde with pride.

“I cannot let a woman who has insulted me stand still. Move!”

“What are you going to do?”

“Wouldn’t it be natural to hit her so that she understands?”

“Are you sure you want to be taken to the basement of the Grand Sanctuary for blasphemy?”

The blasphemy is on the side of Rurutia, who stole the priest’s lips.

Thanks for blocking Hyde, but I didn’t understand what they said.

One of the paladins who left Rurutia approached the priest who had lost his lips and was shaking.

“Commander. Congratulations on your marriage!”

Oh, what?

Are you the commander of the Holy Knights Division?
