Chapter 448 - Secret Wedding 2 (2/2)

“I think that because the King is still inexperienced and the actual power isn’t coming out.”

“I am inexperienced?”

“Yes, the king is strong and undoubtedly strong to compete with me, but there are things which you are yet to realize about the depth of the sword other than just wielding it.”

Currently, Luke’s skills were intermediate.

However, his true realization wasn’t still there.

“Because I haven’t realized… will I know when I go to Sword Sage level?”

At Luke’s question, Gregory smiled.

“Well, it isn’t something that I can simply put like that. You will only know it when you realize and feel it, but I too only realized it after the injury I received a while back.”

What was he supposed to feel and realize?

When Luke tried to question more about it, Gregory changed the topic.

“But why did you invite me? I don’t think that it was just to inform me about the second half.”

Gregory stayed in Bless to defend the Empire when Reina was gone. He was taking care of the Empire while hiding his health condition.

However, Luke and Reina had asked him to come to Rakan through magic communication.

“Is there some tough fight going on? Did the fairies try to do something again?”

“No, it isn’t like that… the Arch Duke might be a little angry when you hear this.”

Luke, who was speaking, had a slight grin on his face.

“Please be the notary.”

“Notary? Have someone you want to duel with?”

A duel would need a notary.

For the sake of Luke who was strong, Gregory was worthy enough to be a notary.

However, who was the madman who wanted to duel with the King of a nation?

“No, not a duel but a wedding.”

“Wedding? No, don’t tell me…!”

Luke could see Gregory’s eyes go wide for the first time.

Maybe Luke was the only one who witnessed such an expression of Gregory.

“Because Reina said that she wanted to have a wedding before she left. I said that it is too fast, but she is acting stubborn, so…”

“My Majesty.”

Maybe it was Luke’s illusion that he felt like Gregory was calling him as Majesty.

Not surprisingly, Gregory continued to speak with the wooden sword still in his hand.

“The story will be discussed more while working on the Second Half.”

“Th, no!”

Looking at the face of Gregory, Luke began to sweat for the first time.

Maybe he had to survive first to ask for the permission.

Luke, who had been sweating for a long time in the battle against Arch Duke Gregory, headed to the Devil King’s castle.

Drrrr!

When he pressed on the wall behind the throne room, a hidden secret door opened with a low sound.

Luke, who was busy for a long time, had visited the secret lab and the workshop with a sad expression.

“This is the place which has been a strong foundation for me, but now I will have to bid my farewell.”

It was in the very laboratory that Luke had come to recover from the revival and became the successor of the ruined estates.

However, he could no longer use those facilities.

As he was a king, he couldn’t get away with such things.

Which was why he was transferring his base from Rakan estates to Brandon, the capital of Symphonia.

The representative was Katarina Magic Tower.

The Katarina magic tower which was promoted to the Royal Magic Tower was integrated into the former Milton Royal Magic Tower, it was to expand the scale and the buildings along with research institutes.

“I am going to move the things in here to the secret room that I set up in Brandon’s palace.”

Luke opened up the subspace bracelet, packed the records, materials, magic tools, and magic stones, and everything else in the workshop and lab.

He decided to get something useful right there and leave, leave those which weren’t in need, and then slowly move them later.

“Ah, I almost forgot.”

Luke, who was almost done packing up the items, hit his head when he realized he forgot something.

He placed his hand in the safe of the cabinet in the lab.

His hand, moving for a second, pulled out a small wooden box.

Inside the box was a pair of gold rings. Simple yet elegant old-fashioned rings, which had the words ‘forever together’ written on it in an ancient language.

‘I never thought that I would see this ring again…’

The ring was made by a dwarf who Syamon had met on his business trip when he had gone to a distant nation during his time when he was still in the Veritas Magic Tower.

It was very difficult to buy his work, but at that time, he was too excited to propose to Katarina, and he bought the ring after giving the dwarf everything he had.

However, the rings never made it to their owners.

When he returned from his trip, Katarina was nowhere to be found.

‘I won’t let the same thing happen again.’

He was dead struck by keeping Reina, Katarina’s incarnation safe!

Woong!

A light magic rose from the rings Luke held.

It was as if the rings were responding to the oath.
