We basked for a while in the happiness of our mutual affection.

“Ho-ho… Now you’ve made me cry during our ceremony…”

Melza stuck out her tongue playfully, tears still streaking down her cheeks. Her every gesture and expression were lovely beyond measure.

“Ah-ha-ha… It’s my special privilege to make you cry. Tears of joy only, of course.”

“How many times do you plan on making me cry before I become an old woman?”

“Hmm… How about this? I swear to make sure your smiles outnumber even your tears of joy.”

“Ho-ho… Oh, Hugh.”

“Ahem.”

Ah-ha-ha… The archbishop cleared his throat again…

“Then the two of you may leave, taking with you the blessings of all those in attendance.”

“Thank you, Archbishop,” I said sincerely.

“Yes, thank you,” Melza added.

We bowed to the clergyman and turned to make our way back down the red carpet.

“Oh-ho… Look how Grandfather is crying…”

“It’s only natural. I’m sure your happiness matters more to him than anything else.”

I suspected the archduke had worked tirelessly over the years to fill in for her missing parents. That was probably why he was so eager to find a partner who would truly support her.

“…He must be so relieved,” Melza remarked.

“Yes… I promise to make you as happy as can be.”

“I know you will…” She rested her head against my shoulder.

Meanwhile, I couldn’t help but notice the reactions of those in the audience…

Ha-ha, my stepmother isn’t even trying to hide her irritation. At least Anna is managing to hold it in.

Naturally, Louis was nowhere to be seen. If he dared show his face in public, House Grenville would never recover from the disgrace. Nevertheless, his confinement would no doubt be lifted once I left to join the archduke’s household.

“Master Hugo! Congratulations!”

Ellen was the only one on House Grenville’s side of the chapel to offer me words of encouragement. After all, she would be coming with me when I joined the Woodstocks.

One might have expected her to face the same consequences as Molly and her other colleagues, but for whatever reason, she had received no punishment whatsoever. Given her position as a spy and a practitioner of psychic magic, she was probably indispensable to the marquis’s plans.

“Ordinarily, both families would come together for a banquet,” I said under my breath. “…But luckily, it seems we were able to avoid that little tradition.”

“Yes… If the conversation turned to that beastly Louis with my grandfather present, it might have spelled the end for House Grenville. Calling it off was a wise decision.”

Typically, a banquet would be held after any noble engagement ceremony as a means of introducing the couple to relatives from both sides. But House Grenville had requested not to hold such a celebration. It was obviously the right call, considering the risk of exposing Louis’s attempted nighttime attack on Melza.

As such, dinner tonight would be a modest event including only the members of House Woodstock. But knowing the archduke, I trusted it would still be a lavish affair.

“Well, Hugh. Let us return to our new home.”

“Indeed.”

Melza smiled delicately as I leaned down to kiss her outstretched hand.
