(MTL) It seems that the fiancée who is in love will be turned into a villainess

chapter 81

31. vow eternal love

　A majestic bell rings out all around. It's not a bell to ring to tell the time. The liturgical bell that exists in the normally closed spire of the royal palace. Its history is much older than the royal palace itself.
　Tone informs everyone living in the royal capital that today is a special day.
　
　Prince's wedding.
　It's a national festival. People flooded the main street to catch a glimpse.
　The cobbled streets were covered with colorful flower petals, and the houses celebrated with flags and flowers. A luxurious carriage pulled by a white horse in the center is guarded by the guards and slowly advances.
　The beauty of the bride peeking through the slightly opened window took the breath away from all who saw it.
　
　As for me, I was looking down on that situation from the tower of the royal palace.
　
"His Highness Vincent, it's about time."
"I want to see Elizabeth's profile too..."
“The royal palace painters have been arranged in various places.
　
　There is a sigh that does not even try to hide it in the explanation.
　After Ricardo-dono's visit, Harold's attitude seems to have become stricter.
　
"Okay, let's go."
　
　The marching procession climbed the main street and entered the courtyard of the royal palace. A four-horse carriage is at the front door. After a while, Elizabeth should come down with the Duke and Duchess of La Montrivre.
　I handed over the telescope and binoculars to Harold and checked the sleeves of his dazzlingly white formal dress.
　
　
　The ceremony is held in the Great Hall of the Royal Palace. The audience was already waiting for the main character to appear.
　The bell rang again. It's the signal to start.
　The door opens. A crimson carpet runs in the middle of the guests divided into left and right.
　I cross in front of the invited guests while stepping on the thick fur.
　
　In the place closest to the entrance are the nobles of their own country. Next to Raphael is Miss Ulysse, and next to Edward is Miss Serena. I'm really engaged... Both Miss Ulysse and Miss Serena probably look tense in a different way than the other guests. Or rather, she turned pale.
　and guests from other countries. Marius-dono, Miss Risha, and Leohart are also there. Ricardo-dono, who should have enjoyed our country just a few months ago, is also shrewd. It's hard for the king class to leave the country, so it would be nice to have representatives.
　When I reached the front of the tall altar, I looked back at the path I had just walked.
　
　A bell rings three times.
　Elisabeth, who was escorted by the Duke of La Montrivre, appeared through the open door.
　
　A sweet and cute dress with plenty of frills and lace, plump and long with a wide hem. At the same time, the hair pulled up and the tranquil expression peeking out from the veil also attracts beauty.
　In other words, it is so beautiful and lovely that it cannot be thought of as something of this world.
　It must have been an angel after all... it seems like he's hallucinating pure white wings.
　
　The eyes of the attendees gather on Elizabeth. Elizabeth casts her gaze down, and she doesn't show any signs of flabbergasted.
　I'm really glad I got the role I was waiting for...I thought. If I had been walking towards Elizabeth, I would probably have collapsed from her knees at this point and could not walk.
　
　The escort, Duke-dono, was already watering, and even more so than Elizabeth, she was on the verge of bursting into tears.
　I understand all too well, Duke. The irreplaceable joy of Elizabeth growing up and reaching her milestone, and the loneliness of losing that shining treasure from our hands... I cried because I empathized with the bride's father. That's it.
　While the audience's gazes were fixed on Elizabeth, he blinked to cover up the tears that were oozing out.
　
　In the midst of what seemed like an eternity or even a moment, Elizabeth calmly walked towards me.
　The Duke of La Montrivre holds out Elizabeth's hand to me.
　Elizabeth made a face.
　Through the veil, their eyes met.
　
　there were no words. But Elizabeth smiled with tears in her narrowed eyes.
　I also hold out my hand and smile back.
　
"Elizabeth"
"Yes, Your Highness Vincent."
　
　Elizabeth's hand overlapped her outstretched hand.
　As I've done many times before, I escorted Elizabeth to the stage.
　Looking back, the hall was lined with hundreds of people.
　Lars also sticks out only his head from a basket with a gold ribbon placed on the wall.
　
　Everyone smiles and watches over us.
　But more than anyone else, I must have had a bright smile on my face.
　
"I am very happy to be able to hold the wedding ceremony in front of you all on this beautiful day."
　
　My voice echoes in the quiet hall.
　
"Here we take our marriage vows."
　
　Next to me, Elizabeth attended the ceremony with a dignified attitude.
　
“I vow to nurture love with Elizabeth, who will become my wife, and to continue to devote myself to my responsibilities as the Crown Prince without neglecting my duties.”
"His Highness Vincent and the country of Ulhara,eternityTowaI pledge my love and loyalty to
　
　Say your vows and face Elizabeth.
　A kiss to prove that the oath is true.
　
　Take a step towards Elizabeth.
　
　I slowly lifted the veil from Elizabeth, who dropped her waist.
　Elizabeth's purple eyes stare at me for a moment, and her eyelids slowly close.
　
　The great hall was so silent that it was hard to believe that there were hundreds of people there.
　Expectations and uneasiness mixed gaze stings. Mainly from my parents' generation who know my accumulated dark history, and from my friends who know my true nature.
　
　I held out my hand to support Elizabeth.
　All the scenery melted away from the corner of my vision. At this moment, all I see is Elizabeth. There are only me and Elizabeth in this world.
　
　The distance between the two of them slowly closed, and their lips were about to overlap――at that moment.
　
　
“Be prepared nya, Mariabelle~~~~~~!!!!”
　
　
　A high-pitched voice, completely unsuitable for a celebration, rushed in.
