TILLY was standing in front of a huge mirror in the chamber that Eclis Church lent her. She used that as a dressing room. When she was done dolling up, she asked her maids to leave her alone for the meantime. She wanted to absorb everything in.

[I'm really getting married again in this lifetime.]

She was surprised at how beautiful she looked in her classic white wedding dress. Her gown had multi-tiered skirts combined with a lace bodice and three-quarter sleeves.

Her hair was styled in a half up crown braid and was adorned by hairpins with pearls. Of course, her makeup made her look even more dainty and beautiful. No wonder her maids who dolled her up were crying tears of joy when they saw the finished product.

[Well, I can't blame them.]

No offense to Her Royal Highness but today, she looked like a princess.

"Finally," Tilly whispered to herself. "Kiho, let's change our lives this time."

Her thoughts were cut off when she heard a knock.

As soon as she let the person in, the doors opened and Kiho came in the room.

[My baby is so gorgeous.]

Kiho wore a classic black three-piece crisp suit. He also used the tie tack that she made for him. It was a customized pearl tie tack set in yellow gold with a touch of wood.

[Thank goodness we're allowed to see each other before the wedding.]

In the empire, it was a tradition that the bride and the groom would enter the church together.

"Tilly, you look extra beautiful today," Kiho said, his golden eyes shining with happiness. When he reached her, he placed his hands on her waist and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Thank you for allowing me to marry you."

"I feel the same, Kiho," she said. Then, she wrapped her arms around his waist. She felt like crying because finally, she could build her family again. But her maids would get heartbroken if her makeup got ruined. So she made a joke to make herself forget about being emotional. "You look so gorgeous and yummy, baby."

"I look… "yummy?""

"Yes," she said. Then, she stood in her tiptoes to whisper in his ear. "I want to eat you, Captain."

From being sentimental, she suddenly felt horny this time.

[Tilly, be wholesome], she scolded herself. [You have to attend the wedding ceremony first so you can't jump his bones yet, okay?]

"Let's see if you can eat me before I eat you," the captain said teasingly.

He wasn't smiling but his eyes and voice were filled with playfulness.

"Wow, Kiho," she said in disbelief. Then, she let out a soft laugh while playfully hitting his shoulder. "When did you become a pervert?"

"I learned from you," he said proudly. "You only have yourself to blame, baby."

She laughed heartily at his light retort. Then, she changed the subject. She didn't want them to get carried when the wedding ceremony was about to begin half an hour from now. "Kiho, let's change our endearment now that we're going to be husband and wife."

For her, their engagement period was their "dating phase," that was why she asked him to call her 'baby.'

But now that they were about to get married, she wanted to level up their endearment, too.

"I asked you to call me 'baby' before," she continued. "So this time, I will let you choose our new endearment."

He looked pleasantly surprised by that. "Really?"
