I’m Not the Final Boss’ Lover-Chapter dlc6
Sevi murmured, pouting his lips as he watched Jun and Meyer share their joint liquor.
“It’s unfair.”
“What is?”
Nova, who was next to Sevi, asked, leaning slightly.
“She said she’d wait for me to grow up. The Vice Commander is a liar.”
“Sure, she said she’d think about it when she saw you getting taller, but she didn’t say she’d wait.
‘That’s it. She didn’t even give me the chance.”
Sevi looked at Jun’s neat profile, which flickered behind a translucent veil of fluttering white with eyes of frustration.
He was a comrade-in-arms with whom he had suffered and struggled for three years without missing a single day. There was no way that Nova did not know the heart of such an old friend. Nova shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile.
“But even if the Vice Commander waited for you, we still have a problem.”
“What problem?”
Sevi asked back in a dull tone. Nova pointed to Meyer, who loomed like a great silver shield in front of Jun, who shone brighter than anyone else.
“Would His Excellency take it easy and give up the Vice Commander?”
“…”
“Are you confident you could fight His Excellency and win?”
“No…”
The mouth of Sevi had been tightly shut. He may get taller, but he cannot raise the already fixed level.
The day would never come when Sevi could beat Meyer even if he goes his whole life…
Sevi shook his head vigorously as if to shake off his melancholy and said.
“B-But I no longer kneel at His Excellency in title anymore either. We’re both Grand Dukes.”
Both Grand Dukes, Grand Duke Knox had been a Grand Duke for more than 1,000 years and has built a fortune and a career that are worlds apart from Sevi, who just became a Grand Duke, but Nova did not dare talk about that. Instead, he simply said a few words quietly.
“Why don’t you say that again in front of your Excellency?”
“Are you going to kill me?”
A surprised Sevi glanced at Nova. Then he threatened with a small fist shake.
“Just tell him. Do you think I’m gonna die alone? Nova, I’m going to tell him that you confessed to the Vice Commander.”
“Why are you dragging me in?”
Nova, who had a bright face, hurriedly looked at Meyer.
Meyer had ghostly hearing, but fortunately, he didn’t seem to be able to hear what they were saying at all, since he was smiling at the thought of marrying Jun.
Julieta, who was listening nearby as the two argued, held her tongue as if she couldn’t stop them.
August raised his hand, and Julieta hastily pinched their hips and whispered.
“Shh, be quiet. The wedding is ending.”
“Oh, there’s no need to pinch me.”
“I’m forced to listen to your dumb conversation, and I have to pinch you to make myself feel better.”
“… They now firmly swear to St. Marianne that they are now husband and wife.”
“Oh, it’s over!”
As soon as August’s words were finished, the three special troops simultaneously threw the red flowers they were holding with the others into the sky. Clusters of flowers fluttered in the air and colored the night.
“Congratulations on your marriage!
“I wish you the best!”
“Have a good life!”
As everyone cheered, the special unit celebrated the marriage of Jun and Meyer, respectively. Their faces, which had been so noisy earlier, all had smiles on them.
After the wedding was over and I had changed into a dress that was a bit more comfortable to move in than the wedding attire that dragged on the floor, I stopped by the wedding party.
As I entered the reception, everyone congratulated me more freely than before.
“Congratulations on your wedding, Vice Commander! The dress was so beautiful!”
“Thank you.”
The first to approach me and congratulate me was the trio. When I saw them running toward me in their gray ceremonial robes, I thought of our first performance report.
“If His Excellency has something bad to say, tell it to us. Understood?”
Sevi, who had finally received his title with the title of “Gale Destroyer,” consoled me with deliberate boldness as he clenched his fists.
Incidentally, as an adult past puberty, I went through three confirmations just in case.
Will you really regret it, do you have any other title, do you really have to do it…
But Sevi insisted that he must do it. For me, it was the best thing I could do.
Hearing Sevi’s words, Meyer laughed full of energy. Perhaps he did not expect Sevi to say it so openly, or perhaps he looked somewhat puzzled as if he had been hit once.
It was only natural. If a hamster suddenly came and scolded you if you did something wrong, I would have been taken aback.
I finally stifled a laugh and asked Sevi.
“What would you do if I told you guys?”
“…”
The mouth of the Sevi was tightly shut. Then I rolled my eyes and peeped at Meyer standing behind me.
Meyer just stared down at Sevi, the size of his waist, with a sardonic look on his face and said nothing.
After making eye contact with Meyer for exactly three seconds, Sevi changed his words with a servile smile and a palm of his hand.
“Well… On second thought, I don’t think His Excellency will ever be mean to you.”
“You must be scared?”
I smiled mockingly. But Sevi had the cheek to refute.
“No, I’m just trying to get a reality check? If you hit a rock with an egg, it’s such a waste of eggs.”
Meyer ended up bursting out laughing at Sevi’s sly reply.
In the past, if it was Meyer, he would have frowned like a dead rat, but now he jokes… he’s all grown up.
I patted Sevi on the shoulder because I was proud of Sevi.
At that moment, Meyer suddenly looked at Nova and asked.
“… So, Nova Pellum, did you ever confess to Jun?”
(T/N: Nova’s last name is actually Pellum, not Feltum.)
… Has he ever confessed?
I took my time to remember. I remember that when I was speaking forcefully on the periphery to clear up the misconception that Meyer and I had been lovers, Nova told me not to worry because he would be there himself if it came down to it…
But to call this a confession was a bit iffy.
While I was struggling with this, Nova jumped up with a blank look on his face.
“Don’t tell me you heard that earlier?”
“Of course I did.”
“…”
Nova and Sevi’s faces turned somber as they saw Meyer answer as if it were a matter of course. A small voice could be heard murmuring, “After all, His Excellency is not a human being.”
If not, Meyer grinned, expressing this viciously.
”I see… You don’t still have unfinished business, do you?”
Everywhere I looked, the figure was threatening.
What the hell are you talking to them about? I slapped Meyer on the back.
“What the hell are you doing to the kids?”
“But.”
“But what. Don’t say outrageous things. What are you going to do if you say such nonsense and cause problems in the love front of our children?”
Meyer was frustrated, but kept his mouth shut honestly. Nova and Sevi’s faces were downcast as if the complexion and pressure Meyer had given them even in that short time was no joke.
While they were thus dwelling, one or two of the elite members of the Black Knights gathered.
“Wow, the dress is truly one of the greatest of all time. Probably for the next thousand years, there will not be a wedding dress that will be as good as this one.”
Axiom made a big fuss. The agreeable glances of those in the vicinity were disturbing in that he was merely exaggerating. I asked him as if I didn’t think so.
“I thought it would be expensive, but I don’t know the price of a formal dress… Is this dress that expensive?”
“It’s not a question of being expensive. It’s a thousand to… Alright, alright.”
Axion waved his hand as he looked at Meyer’s complexion. It also seemed that Meyer had shut Axion’s mouth with a dirty look.
I’ll ask him separately later since it seems he won’t tell me here with Meyer.
I glanced at Axion. But Axion just shook his head with his eyes closed with a solemn expression.
“Don’t look at me like that, Vice Commander. His Excellency is trying to kill me.”
“What about me?”
“You’re throwing eyes at a person at the reception on the day of the wedding.”
Meyer replied with a face full of frustration.
What would others see of me if they heard? I slapped Meyer’s arm. Of course, my hand hurt more.
“Don’t talk nonsense. If you keep bothering me one by one, I’ll show you what throwing eyes is.”
Meyer’s mouth was tight. Robur, watching him, chuckled.
“The Black Knight is no match for the Tyrant!”
“I’m sure you’ve seen this kind of figure in our lifetime. I couldn’t imagine it before. Isn’t that right, sister?”
“I think so. Maybe this is exactly what I left one eye on in my last battle to see.”
The elite troops teased Meyer, as if they had been waiting only for this day.
It was as if the distance that had previously confined them to the framework of commander and troopers had unknowingly disappeared, and they had been so friendly.
It was a good thing we were all gathered at the fold. I asked what was on my mind.
“Come to think of it, what are you all going to do about the fiefs? Isn’t it hard to manage the territory since most of you are commoners, except for Julieta? Would you like to study with me?”
Because giving titles and fiefdoms is giving, and directly governing is another matter.
I deployed the water demon strategy, looking for someone to study with me.
