In Another World, the Boy Was Spoiled by the Iron Knight! Chapter 316: A New Beginning

He also felt it was a little too late to do this and since their relationship was already the sa as being married, he did not really feel it was necessary to submit anything.

But Dominic looked so happy and since it was a marriage application personally approved by the king himself, they could not just ignore it.

So they decided to go out together.

The building they went to was the Civil Administration Office in the sa district as the royal palace.

It mainly handled important matters like birth registration, death registration, and residence applications for people living in the royal capital.

It also accepted personal or local problems for consultation and sotis worked together with the city guards or the knight squads.

So it was quite a familiar place for the two of them.

When they handed the marriage form to the receptionist at the counter, the woman at the desk widened her eyes and stared hard at the docunt.

She looked back and forth between Shiao Yi and Dominic many tis, checking everything again.

But since the king’s official seal was there, there should be no law that allowed her to reject it.

"Oh my... my. This is the first ti we have accepted a marriage registration for two n."

She stared at them so hard it felt like she was drilling holes into them.

Shiao Yi felt awkward and shifted nervously.

A marriage application was embarrassing enough by itself, wasn’t it?

"It is an official docunt with His Majesty’s permission. There should be no problem," Dominic said proudly to the receptionist.

He believed that acting confidently was the right thing in situations like this.

And truly, there was nothing shaful about any of this.

Still... it was embarrassing.

"Yes, yes! Congratulations on your marriage!! Lord Dominic! Lord Shiao Yi!"

"Pya!"

A strange sound escaped from Shiao Yi.

The receptionist shouted so loudly that her voice echoed through the entire floor.

All the staff and citizens in the area heard it clearly.

"Eh? Lord Dominic is getting married?"

"Kyaa!!"

The whole area suddenly erupted into a loud commotion.

Shiao Yi instinctively hid behind Dominic’ back.

Th-this might be the biggest crisis of my life...

"What is this? Shiao Yi... you’re so cute. Could this adorable n really be my wife starting today?"

"Hey, Dominic... your muttering thoughts are showing out loud," Shiao Yi thought, surprised.

"Congratulations!!"

The staff and everyone present shouted their congratulations.

"Thank you," Dominic replied with a broad smile.

He seed to be in an exceptionally good mood today.

It was rare to see him so cheerful, freely giving such a large smile.

His hand pressed gently against Shiao Yi’s back, encouraging him forward.

Reluctantly, Shiao Yi peeked out from behind Dominic and bowed together with him.

This kind of mont was unbearably embarrassing.

Shiao Yi was sure his face was completely red.

"Oh my, that child is so cute!"

"Lord Dominic smiled!"

"This is the first ti I’ve seen Lord Dominic’ smile!"

"Kyaa! When he smiles, he’s an unbelievably handso man!"

"Young master, you look so innocent!"

For so reason, the noise grew even louder.

They had successfully submitted the marriage registration.

There was no reason to linger here any longer.

Shiao Yi quickly run out of the office with Dominic.

When they stepped outside, the bright daylight almost blinded him.

Shiao Yi carefully reached for Dominic’ hand.

Dominic squeezed it back so tightly it almost hurt, letting him know he wasn’t letting go.

The official marriage ceremony had been perford in the Mare Village.

It was a marriage recognized by the gods above.

But, in the Kingdom of Rosaria, it was not officially acknowledged, this was, for now, only a private union between Shiao Yi and Dominic.

The people in their ho and the friends around them already treated them as partners, but in public, they were only seen as two n living together, sharing a ho.

However, starting today, the two of them were finally, openly, a married couple recognized by the country and its people.

They no longer had to hold back or hesitate in front of anyone.

It’s a simple paper. But also a powerful paper.

When Dominic frowned and muttered that it was pointless at this stage, Quintus had apparently grinned and told him.

"Co on, don’t complain. Just submit it. The world will change."

He had thought it was an exaggeration, but now he understood.

Yes, the world had changed.

No, everyday life around them was still the sa as yesterday.

It was his way of seeing the world that had changed and his understanding of it.

The sa road, the sa square, all looked brighter than when they had walked toward the governnt office earlier.

Maybe he was getting too excited.

A lively early autumn wind blew through the end of sumr.

It reminded Shiao Yi that exactly two years ago, he and Dominic had departed on their journey to destroy the gate to he demon world, on a clear day just like this one.

Now, with the threat of the Aeon gone, Shiao Yi and Dominic were taking a new step forward together.

"Shiao Yi. I love you. Always. From now on, forever."

Dominic stood close beside him, still holding his hand and looking down at him.

Shiao Yi understood that Dominic felt the sa deep emotion and it made him happy.

" too. Dominic, let’s always stay together. Even to the end of infinity."

Shiao Yi had crossed worlds and crossed eternity to reach Dominic.

Surely this was what people called fate.

They were destined to et, two people who could only exist for each other.

They would find happiness together.

Ahead of them lay the everyday life of smiling, hardworking people, full of calm and lively energy.

Shiao Yi began walking the road toward tomorrow, with Dominic at his side.

...

Shiao Yi had said he did not want this.

He had shouted with all his strength that he absolutely refused.

But the world was cruel.

"Once the king speaks, it is final. The absolute ruler’s command. No one can go against it."
