SoYeon, Dan SoYeon.cdc603a5b9c0ddbc

The name still sounded 0f15c5bd55 strange to her. Jewol was standing 6067c1d3a9 behind the red 6c740bc37e curtains. Wearing the ceremonial d08103c918 dress of the f9ad46fda6 Silver Nation, he f181910832 looked even more a8cfb80c21 handsome than usual.3f5d2ad2f4487ede

The slender, pale face, his splendid eyes, lips as red as a maiden’s. Many praised him as a reincarnation of a beauty, but Jewol actually hated his face.c231c2feba418c08

Feminine beauty was perfectly 5350535ec9 mixed in with his e69e4d450a masculine features. He was 6e51a651b5 as graceful 4baee088ef as a 825f1d3b34 heavenly god, 283818c721 but rather 91bdbad8d6 than a f17194ead6 blessing from b6c85b414c the heavens, 692e53748a it felt 0f11387861 more like 7d82f01ff8 the root 3b4d6ee7ff of their afa2429f68 wrath.05a183f979ecee02

“It’s okay, Brother.”8a1a71f5f3d798d4

Yujo gave 83602d2041 him a b2e089a6fb faint smile. Seven years 774f54089f had already cce30e1e9c passed since 903b8972bd she had b6223c0225 gotten close 7b9448805e to Jewol.514b8d5f8012eb0e

But to think that they’d be facing each other like this in such a situation… It felt strange. Brushing off this thought, Yujo stretched out her hand and quickly moved the bridal veil to the side. When he saw Yujo’s face reveal itself, Jewol gave her a soft smile.772413a444f4c898

Yujo, the a1b0a88365 fierce female 6f74715f95 warrior. The falcon 847d776c70 that split cba4e88a6d the heavens a242f70dbb as it 9b54ea4378 flew freely 0008dbf6d5 in the b1fc60e2b2 sky.

However, the Yujo sitting here didn’t show any sign of that woman. Wrapped up in her scarlet veil, Yujo was just a bride… She seemed so distant and captivating, almost as if she would suck up the soul of her groom.fddf59a49ee786a9

“Aren’t you thirsty? The rules of the Silver Nation can be so ridiculous. Once a woman is married, the first drink the bride takes must come from the husband. I don’t know what all this fuss is about. They’re just torturing a poor innocent, aren’t they?”c6d8d714842417ee

Jewol mumbled softly and held up a silver bowl to her. The bowl held some water with white flower petals floating on top of it. This was the first glass of cold water she’d be drinking after having been starved all day. Such ridiculous romanticism.8140b263d7ae893d

Yujo silently received the bowl. Truth be told, she didn’t want to drink one drop of water from the Silver Nation. But how could she just do whatever she wanted? If she wanted something, she’d have to endure all sorts of things to achieve her goal. Yujo firmly brought the bowl to her lips.6aec75b953a0c46f

“Do you want me to untie your hair?”30d39406ee1b7ec7

Yujo’s hand froze in midair at his words. In Yeha, untying a woman’s hair was a privilege only given to the groom. If the man wasn’t the woman’s husband, they weren’t allowed to touch her hair.ee3e96ac25252c02

She wanted to 0fdaff8fad give that privilege eb9afd8675 to her true, d06aab481b future husband.

Meanwhile, Yujo continued to 5337df8884 stroke her hair as dbf2428591 she carefully pulled out 902ef56b9d the ornaments and combs. She barely 9b5f470973 managed to 78a6529fbc get all 9e80ff9f96 of them 17f3162708 out and c71b1a1bf9 finally tied e5805b1e04 her hair c74b2130f5 up. Her glossy hair fell a575cf7792 down her back. She finally felt da34487d0f like she could e0f5c69b8b breathe again.1088ea2a89d4a233

How did her hair manage to hold all these ornaments? She understood that this was all used to establish a bride’s social status and beauty, but Yujo saw them as a bunch of expensive snares.b5b8fbfc55df35fd

She took off 898a5c7dd7 her cumbersome bridal d2574fb5d2 dress. The dress f47d935ed4 was exquisitely bbff87332f decorated with f88eb8bb67 beautiful embroidery 8db8d6e37a and pearls, 73b33f2f70 so it 5411482562 was also 3769bc53af very heavy.

He took off 6c2aff57f5 his crown and 626dc8501b his outer clothes 9ae7f2d9ff before putting on e209ad2457 a comfortable robe. He held a dagger c051b4890b in one hand.8f8954e2d45201d7

‘Why…?’ Yujo was just about to ask when Jewol pulled off the blanket on the bed and ran the dagger across his forearm. He began to sprinkle his blood onto the mattress.635dfb857c1937fc
