The Book Eating Magician Chapter 384:
Chapter 384 - The Marriage of the Century (5)
Swaaah .
Every time a wave washed up against the sandy beach, a cloud of foam would burst and spray out . Drops of water were born from the low waves, and sunlight shone over the clouds . The aquamarine sea was so beautiful that it couldn’t be expressed in words .
It was an attraction in a distant land . This was Piris, where all ships of the coastal kingdom, Soldun, passed by . It was the city with the most beautiful beach on the continent . During the civil war which was several years ago, this scenery had been unknown as Theodore had landed on an uninhabited island far from the beach . Many things had changed in a few years .
Theodore looked at the peaceful scene and raised a glass cup on the table to his lips . A refreshing lime-flavored liquid flowed down his esophagus .
“ . . . Mm, this is good . ” Theodore didn’t like the bitter taste of alcohol, but this alcohol fit his taste well . Veronica laughed as she raised the glass at a similar timing . “Really? I know how to make this . If you want to have a drink when we get home, just say it . ”
“What? Becky, you know how to make cocktails?”
“It is a small hobby . Don’t you know my temperament? I can’t get drunk, so I often drink alcohol . Few people know this, but there are some cocktails that were named by me . ”
Maybe it was due to the excuse of taking it with food, but many people didn’t know that ‘alcohol’ was a deadly toxic substance to the body . The blood of a dragon, which broke down all types of poisons with its innate immunity, couldn’t leave that ingredient alone . However, putting aside the context, it was an interesting story . Veronica was someone who drank more and more of the cocktails because she couldn’t get drunk .
Theodore laughed inwardly without showing it and looked at Sylvia .
“Hiccup . ”
He was concerned since Sylvia was hiccuping with a red face .
“Sylvia, are you okay? Would you like a cleansing spell?”
“Ah, hiccup . No, I’m fine . I like drinking and can use the cleansing spell afterward . ”
Sylvia was different from Veronica, whose expression didn’t change even after a few drinks . Cleansing magic was available, but Sylvia didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere . Clearly, she didn’t want to be treated as a child by Theodore and made excuses . Sylvia leaned against Theodore’s left shoulder, giving off a more bewitching allure than usual .
“Theo . . . ” A lime-flavored voice reached him .
It had been several days since the wedding . At first, the young man and women acted subtly, but they soon became familiar with each other’s flesh . Theodore stroked Sylvia’s disheveled hair a few times and kissed her exposed forehead .
“What, are you playing alone? Huh?”
“―Becky, oof . ”
Veronica kissed his right shoulder and his earlobe, before moving to his lips . This was an embarrassing gesture of affection in bright daylight . It would be shameful if someone saw her act so blatantly, but fortunately, the area with the table that the three people were sitting at was of the deluxe class . So, they were the only ones in the room overlooking the seaside .
Veronica removed her lips and said in a deep voice, “Hua! It would be better if we were alone, but it isn’t bad to have three people . We have visited the beach of Piris . Where will we go next?”
In response to Veronica’s words, Sylvia asked, “Wouldn’t it be nice to wait for the night sea?”
“Well, is there anything other than a lighthouse on the sea at night? If you want a good night view, Austen’s capital of Edirne is good . ”
“Austen? I thought it was just a desert . . . ”
The two of them had become sisters in a few days . Theodore watched their conversation with strange emotions .
Red and gold, blue and silver… From personality to appearance, there wasn’t one thing that matched . The relationship, which would’ve never become a close one without Theodore, was tangled up by ties of marriage, making the two women family .
‘There are many lessons to be learned from life, even if I am a transcendent who has realized the principles of the world . ’
After the wedding ceremony, every day was new . It was like he was born again every day . Yesterday, they ate seafood dishes cooked in the East Continent . The day before yesterday, they visited sophisticated craft stores in the Andras Kingdom . As he promised to his brides, Theodore could go anywhere and do anything . When they thought about what they wanted to eat, they visited the place that day . When they thought about a place they wanted to go, they crossed the continent and the sea .
‘ . . . Come to think of it, it is different from the books . ’
If his past self in the academy had seen it, he would’ve sighed . Unlike during the days when he only saw magic, Theodore now had the luxury of seeing things apart from magic . Theodore looked between his two brides and smiled . “Now, where shall we go?”
Veronica and Sylvia responded like they had been waiting .
“Belfort Harbor! I have to pick up the pendant I ordered the day before . ”
“Then let’s go to Edirne . Sister says that the night view of Edirne is very good . ”
“Okay, then shall we get up?” Theodore left a few gold coins as a tip .
Then the three people raised their bodies from their chairs . It was a bonus to pretend to be drunk and hold each other . Theodore held the waists of Sylvia and Veronica lightly . They were walking down white marble stairs when they encountered an unexpected figure .
“Um . . . ?!”
“Ah . ”
The half a head of white hair and wrinkled face made it possible to imagine the depths of the past years . The person’s attire was a mixture of eastern and western clothing and was quite unique . That was natural since the person was the head of a family who had moved from the East Continent to Soldun .
They had encountered Baek Jongmyung of the Baek Family .
“It has been a long time, Lord Baek . ”
Hearing Theodore’s greeting, Baek Jongmyung was speechless with surprise for a moment . Then he regained himself and greeted politely, “It has been a while, Sir Theodore . I didn’t know we would meet again in a place like this . Have you been well in the meantime?”
“It is as you can see . I am better than ever . ”
“Hahaha! A true hero, it is good . Since there was no news that you came . . . ” The quick-witted Baek Jongmyung gathered his eyebrows together in a humorous manner . “This Baek has taken up your precious time . I will tell anyone about this, so please enjoy yourselves . ”
“Thank you . ”
“Huhu, it is a great grace that you are teaching my son . I am looking forward to the future . ” Baek Jongmyung bowed one more time and walked past them . He knew it would be difficult to get involved in the love affairs of young people .
Not long after Baek Jongmyung left, a huge burst of laughter emerged next to Theodore .
“Kuk! Ahahahaha!”
“Huhut, huhuhuhut!”
The two people on Theodore’s arms laughed belatedly after Baek Jongmyung left . They couldn’t help it since the encounter had been so sudden . Each one of them was one of the top five magicians on the continent, so this was a story that might be talked about even 10 years later .
“I-It is really indecent . ”
The two women laughed while Theodore opened his mouth, 「 Transition, Belfort . 」
There were still many places that the three people wanted to go, and time was flowing urgently . Magic flashed as he intended to relax once again . Their honeymoon was still far from over .
* * *
Two months passed by .
It wasn’t a long or short period of time with the full moon rising up and descending four times . In the meantime, Theodore, Sylvia, and Veronica wandered around the entire continent, leaving countless memories . They saw a flickering aurora . They searched through sandy wind and found a city of mirage in the sky . They walked in the deep waters of the sea and found the volcanic crater where Brasmati resided, which only Veronica explored .
There were numerous beautiful sights in the world, and the three people saw them again and again .
“The sky is already dark . Shall we go back?”
Even so, they returned to the same place whenever they wanted to rest .
“Yes, I’d love to take a bath . ”
“Let’s go . To our home . ”
Veronica and Sylvia nodded at Theodore’s words and grabbed his hands . The feelings weren’t as shape as when he first experienced it, but the warm body temperature was still conveyed . This was natural for a family .
Flash!
They were now accustomed to the timing and closed their eyes . By the time the flash faded, the three people had already arrived at their destination . Then in front of Theodore’s party, somebody bowed . He wore plain clothes which had no wrinkles . With wrinkles and a white mustache that showed he had the wisdom of life, Armand, the owner of the gorgeous old house, greeted the return of the three people, “Welcome back, Master . ”
Theodore had never promised a certain time to return, so Armand came out at a really amazing timing . Was it his half a century worth of experience that made it possible for him to achieve? Having received Armand’s greeting, Theodore handed over his coat . “You got the right timing today, Armand . Do you really have foresight?”
“Huhu, it is just an old man’s intuition . Just like how farmers know if it won’t rain tomorrow and how merchants can smell money . ”
“Then there are too many magicians in the world . I hope I don’t lose my employee soon . ”
Armand smiled at the joke and clapped his hands, calling the maids to accompany Veronica and Sylvia . Similarly, the maids had considerable experience . The maids took off Veronica’s and Sylvia’s shoes with familiar movements, removing the dust and debris from their hair and clothing . They were afraid to even blink .
‘I am now quite familiar with it, but I can’t help feeling a sense of discomfort when looking out the window . ’ Theodore gazed out the window with a subtle expression .
Their honeymoon home was located in the birthplace of the Miller family, while the Miller Barony was now under direct control of the royal family . Dennis Miller had become a marquis and moved with the residents to a new area . There was no good mining vein here, and the farmland wasn’t wide either . Thus, Kurt III had a villa built on this land .
-It is a place that holds great significance in its own way .
The king had then sent a few maids and a retired butler . Although Theodore had heard the story, he hadn’t known the villa had been transformed into a honeymoon house .
“Theo!”
Theodore was following Armand’s instructions and heading to the bathroom when he turned back at the voice . Veronica and Sylvia stood on tiptoe at the same time and kissed his lips .
“You know that you are dealing with both of us tonight, right?”
“Are you planning to sleep alone?”
They were soft whispers, seemingly planned in advance .
“ . . . Yes, I’ll be waiting . ”
Satisfied with Theodore’s soft answer, the two beautiful women smiled and stepped back . They then disappeared with the maids . Armand, who had been watching the exchange, said to Theodore, “There won’t be any servants walking around the bedroom tonight . ”
Theodore’s eyebrows twitched as he asked, “Armand, what does that mean?”
“I’m just letting you know . Cough!”
Theodore looked at Armand before looking out the window and sighing . Was it because he felt that the stars in the night sky were brighter today? His expression darkened as he looked at the stars . There were two months left until Wrath would fall to the ground . Theodore was reminded that the day of destruction was approaching .
The end of their happy days was near .
