The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button Chapter 185 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [36]

185. Allen Cell and Political Marriage [36]

The door of the cathedral opened slowly, and the bride and groom entered.

Nuro walked in the lead, and Sie followed three steps back, like an attendant.

Breaths of admiration leaked from the guests who saw the bride’s appearance.

「Oh, is that『Number 10』!」

「Amazing! Worthy of being called a『world class beauty』!」

「Dear . It’s really beautiful. I am almost jealous!」

Touched by Sie’s beauty, they raised voices of praise.

However, at the sa ti, there was common parlance here and there.

「Kuku… Nuro-dono has a pretty『unique taste』. Imagine that beautiful face distorted in pain. It will be most irresistible!」

「Yes, exactly. I wonder how much humiliation she can bear!」

「And Number 10 is the daughter of that House Arcstria! To degrade a high-class woman like that… Fuhihi, I can’t help but to get excited whenever I see it!」

When Nuro and Sie were in place in front of the altar, a young priest who was offering prayers to God at the back of the cathedral, slowly stood up.

With an extrely friendly smile, he moved straight to the front of the altar and cleared his throat.

「Today we are going to conduct the wedding of Nuro Dolan and Sie Arcstria. First of all, I’d like to open the ceremony with a few words–」

「Nufufu, long greetings are unnecessary! Let’s start with the ceremony!」

The short-tempered and impatient Nuro interrupted the priest’s words and gave orders.

「Is that so… Then, let add just one word as a priest. God says, today will be a holy day.」

After shortly summarizing his opening statent, he started the『vow ceremony』.

「Groom Nuro Dolan. Do you swear to accept the love of bride Sie Arcstria with thy rciful heart, and to handle her with care as much as your heart would allow?」

「Nufufu. Of course, I swear!」

「Bride Sie Arcstria. Do you swear to offer all of your body and heart to groom Nuro Dolan, and pledge eternal servitude as his possession in health and in sickness?」

「…Yes, I swear.」

Once the terrible one-sided vow was concluded, the priest smiled with satisfaction.

「God! The lost lambs huddled together here have pledged their vows! Please bestow thy blessings upon them by thy rciful will! Groom Nuro Dolan, bride Sie Arcstria – Now is the ti to seal your vows with a kiss!」

Their eyes t and they each took a step forward.

Nuro quietly closed his eyes and waited for Sie’s service.

She exhaled with a tense look on her face – and resolved herself.

(The troubleso guards are far behind. Now is the ti to do it!)

The next mont, Sie pulled out a dagger that had been concealed in her dress at an indiscernible speed.

「Nuro Dolan, prepare yourself!」

She lunged straight towards his heart.

「「「Wha!?」」」

The ceremony hall beca uproarious, and Nuro opened his eyes due to the sudden roar.

At the sa ti, the guards who were on alert near the entrance ran towards the altar with their faces turning pale.

The blessing mood of the ceremony hall crumbled down and broke into chaos.

「Nu, oh…」

A sharp dagger was thrust deep into Nuro’s chest, and he fell to his knee on the spot.

(I-I did it…)

Sie, who succeeded in the assassination of Nuro Dolan, the great noble of the Empire,

「…Wha!?」

Involuntarily beca speechless at the inexplicable scenario unfolding before her eyes.

The dagger that stuck deep into his chest – had no blade.

To be more precise, it was lting as if it had been burned by scorching flas.

The coward Nuro fainted in shock, but he was still unhurt.

(This is… the ability of soul dress!?)

When Sie stared at the dagger without its blade dumbfoundedly,

「Kusu kusu kusu…」

An eerie laughter echoed throughout the ceremony hall.

「My My…! The vow to God cannot be altered, you know?」

The priest, who now had a heinous smile on his face – a complete 180 turn around from his friendly smile – flung off his vestnt.

Underneath the vestn was a black coat engraved with a『certain crest』, which was allowed to be worn only by the top executives of the Black Organization.

「…Just when I thought I got through Nuro’s guards.」

From the sudden change of outfit and expression, Sie instantly saw through the true identity of the priest.

「Gregor Ash, one of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle. I didn’t think such a big shot would be assigned as a guard.」

Having failed to assassinate Nuro, color began to drain from Sie’s face in front of an unexpected formidable enemy.
