Reborn As a Villain Son With The Strongest Wife-Chapter 40: The Heroine’s Eternal Marriage – Vowing Herself to Leonhardt

[Valtara Fortress – Grand Hall – Wedding Ceremony]

The grand hall was decorated with crimson banners.

Dark roses adorned the aisle.

And at the end — stood Leonhardt Valtara.

The Villain. The Conqueror. The Absolute Dominator.

And today —

He would claim Evelyn Astralis as his wife.

"...Haaah..." Evelyn trembled, standing outside the door.

Her bridal dress — black.

Her veil — crimson.

Her heart — broken... yet yearning.

"...I-I shouldn't be doing this..." Evelyn's tears fell. "...I-I love Rael... I-I do..."

But behind her —

Celestia giggled darkly.

"Fufufu~ Stop lying to yourself, Evelyn~" Celestia purred. "Your body already belongs to Darling~"

"...!!" Evelyn's body trembled.

Celestia smirked. "And after today... your heart will too~"

Evelyn sobbed. "...N-No..."

But her feet...

Moved forward.

"...W-Why am I walking...?" Evelyn trembled. "S-Someone stop me... p-please..."

But no one did.

And as the grand doors opened —

All eyes turned to her.

Including —

Rael's.

"...!!" Evelyn's heart stopped. "...R-Rael..."

Rael — disheveled, broken, lifeless — stared at her with hollow eyes.

His lips cracked. "E-Evelyn... p-please... d-don't do this..."

Tears streamed down Evelyn's face. "...I-I don't... w-want this..."

But her body —

Still walked down the aisle.

"...No... NO!!" Evelyn internally screamed. "S-Stop!! M-Move back to Rael!!"

But her legs —

Betrayed her.

And when she finally stood in front of Leonhardt —

Her lips... parted.

"...I-I'm here..." Evelyn choked.

Leonhardt smirked darkly. "Good girl."

Rael collapsed. "...NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

The priest began speaking.

"Do you, Leonhardt Valtara, take Evelyn Astralis as your lawfully wedded wife?"

Leonhardt smirked. "I do."

Evelyn's heart stopped.

"...N-No..." Rael whimpered.

The priest turned to Evelyn.

"And do you, Evelyn Astralis, take Leonhardt Valtara as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"...!!"

Evelyn's mouth opened.

But the words —

Wouldn't come out.

"...S-Say no... p-please..." Rael begged, sobbing.

Evelyn trembled. "...I-I..."

"Say yes," Leonhardt whispered darkly.

"...!!"

Evelyn's throat tightened.

"Say it."

"...N-No... I-I..." Evelyn's tears fell. "...I-I can't..."

Leonhardt leaned in — and whispered in her ear.

"Or do you want me to take you here... in front of everyone... again?"

"...!!" Evelyn's entire body froze.

And then —

Her mind broke.

"...I-I do..." Evelyn choked.

"...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Rael's scream shattered the hall.

But the priest simply smiled.

"By the power vested in me — I now pronounce you Husband and Wife."

Leonhardt grinned. "You may now kiss the bride."

Rael lunged forward. "DON'T TOUCH HER!!"

But the guards restrained him.

"NOOOOOOOO!!! EVELYN, FIGHT BACK!! P-PLEASE!!"

"...A-Ahhh..." Evelyn's body trembled.

Leonhardt grabbed her chin.

"Mine."

And then —

He kissed her.

Deeply. Passionately. Dominantly.

"...MMPPHHH!!" Evelyn's eyes widened.

Her mind screamed Rael's name.

But her lips —

Melted into Leonhardt's kiss.

"...A-Ahhh... Mmmnn..." Evelyn's body trembled.

Rael's entire world — collapsed.

"...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

Hours later —

The wedding feast commenced.

Evelyn — now seated on Leonhardt's lap — wore a revealing bridal dress.

Her face flushed. Her heart shattered. Her body — addicted.

And across the table —

Rael sat in silence.

His eyes — dead.

His heart — annihilated.

"...C-Congratulate us, Hero," Celestia giggled.

Rael didn't respond.

Leonhardt smirked. "Kneel."

"...!!"

Rael's entire body shook. "...W-What...?"

"I said kneel."

"...!!"

Leonhardt pulled Evelyn closer. "Kneel — and congratulate me for taking your woman."

"...N-No..." Rael's voice cracked.

Evelyn's tears fell. "R-Rael... p-please..."

But Leonhardt grinned darkly. "Do it. Or I'll take her again in front of you."

"...!!" Rael's body crumbled.

And finally —

He knelt.

"...C-Congratulations..." Rael choked.

Leonhardt laughed coldly.

And then —

He kissed Evelyn in front of Rael again.

"...MMPPHHH!!" Evelyn's moans escaped.

Rael broke.

"...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

That night —

Rael curled in his tent.

Alone. Forgotten. Humiliated.

"...H-He took everything..." Rael's voice cracked. "...M-My pride... m-my honor... m-my woman..."

His mind — fractured.

His heart — destroyed.

And his will — nonexistent.

"...I-I have nothing left..."

And in the distance —

Evelyn moaned Leonhardt's name.

"...AHHHH!! L-Leonhardt!! M-More...!!"

Rael's tears fell.

"...N-No..."

And his mind —

Finally collapsed.
