“Now, at last, the bride and the groom may do a kiss of oath.”
Renier’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out at the priest’s words. They didn’t even normally hold hands, let alone kiss?
Renier sent a glance to the priest to omit the procedure.
“Come on. Kiss…?”
The priest tilted his head as his eyes saw Renier’s silent message.
Renier shook her head slightly but resolutely in her veil.
‘Can’t this fake officiant take a hint?’ Renier continued to send her silent messages towards her priest.
“Then let’s just say the kiss of oath was done.”
Fortunately, the priest noticed her silent plea and was about to pass the kissing step.
“Wait.”
Now all they had to do was turn around and leave, but Veldemer suddenly cut off the priest.
“I will kiss you to seal the oath.”
Shapiro and Renier gasped in surprise at Veldemer’s remarks. ‘Someone who doesn’t even like holding hands would kiss me.’
“You don’t have to, Veldemer.”
‘What if you pass out after we kiss?’
‘Even if this is a fake wedding, I don’t want to see the groom pass out after the oath kiss.’
“Wishes must come true.”
‘If the wedding doesn’t go well, your wish may still remain unfulfilled. Wishes must come true. The sooner it can be done, the better.’
Dragging a wish will only increase the time he is sealed.
“It’s just a light kiss.”
While muttering something nobody knew whether it was aimed to Renier or himself, Veldemer rolled up Renier’s veil slightly.
With plump lips glued together in embarrassment, Veldemer gently grabbed Renier’s shoulder and lowered his head slowly.
“… …”
Veldemer’s body hardened as the moisture touched his lips. It was his first kiss. He did, however, not feel particularly offended.
It was a forced kiss, and the touch on his lips was moist and soft. Renier’s trembling was transmitted through her lips.
What had touched his plump lips seemed a bit sweet, so Veldemer involuntarily pulled out his tongue and licked the crevices of her lips. Then Renier’s shoulders trembled…
…together with the pupils of the onlookers.
“… …”
‘What is wrong with your master? Is he a total pervert?’ Any said with her eyes wide open towards Shapiro.
“… …?”
‘Master? Master, why don’t you get away from her?’
Shapiro fell into a great shock as their kisses only got longer and longer.
“Hmm.”
It was very fiery. They were on fire.
The priest coughed in vain at the kiss of an oath that never ended, but the two remained motionless.
The most embarrassed one was Renier. She almost forced open his mouth with her tongue.
Drops of water began to fall from the sky as if trying to interrupt their kiss. Drop by drop turned into rain in an instant.
“… Umph!”
Under the rain, Renier tried to get away from Veldemer. But, well… Veldemer didn’t like it.
He tugged at Renier’s waist, while waving his other hand to deal with these annoying raindrops.
The next moment, raindrops bounced off without falling on them, as if a thin, transparent film had formed over the small wedding hall.
“Master.”
Shapiro’s eyes were about to pop out in surprise.
“Are you using magic now?”
“Hey, is this magic?”
Any and the priest looked up at the sky in bewilderment. Magic was common. But they had never heard of such a magic.
“The power has returned, Master’s power has returned!”
Shapiro looked up at the sky and giggled and then laughed. It was a crazy wedding with some laughing like crazy, some bewildered, and some in a kiss.
“It must be kept secret.”
“Sure.”
The priest checked the pocket where the gold coins were stored and poked them deeper.
“Don’t worry. I don’t have a loose mouth. Well then, farewell.”
He put on his hood and headed outside when the rain had subsided. With a heavy income, his gait was so light.
“Is it all over now?”
“I hope so.”
Watching the priest disappear, Renier took a deep breath. She heard that once her wish comes true, he will be sealed back to the statue.
So, after the wedding, will Veldemer go back to being a statue?
***
“Are you a guest in room 202?”
The innkeeper, whom she met on the way back to the room, pretended to know Renier.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Your guests are waiting for you.”
“My guests?”
She wasn’t aware of any guests coming.
Renier tilted her head and went to the ‘guest’ who was waiting for her.
“Did you say you want to see me?”
“Yes.”
This is the first time she had ever seen this man. Renier looked at Any, wondering if it was an acquaintance of Any, but Any shook her head.
The man rubbed his clunky palms and scanned Renier up and down.
“Who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am, my lady. What matters is what I know,” the man said with a smirk.
“No matter how much money you have in the house, isn’t it too much to have another husband?”
At the man’s words, Renier bit the soft flesh inside her mouth. She decided to hold it here because she was looking for a place that no one knew. ‘Should I have gone even further?’
“Does your husband know what I know?”
“How much?”
“What?”
“How much do you want?” Renier said with a sigh.
‘It’s obvious what this guy wants. He must have come to threaten me for money.’
“Is this much okay?”
Renier took a gold coin from her pocket and threw it at the man. The man caught the gold coin by a hair’s breadth, put it in his finger, and shook his head.
“Only one? You see, I didn’t come here to get only this much.”
The man tossed the gold coin back towards Renier.
“You should give me at least 50 gold.”
“Ha, sure enough.”
Renier and Any burst out laughing at the outrageous amount. With that amount, one could have bought two houses.
“Or, should I go to the lady’s husband?”
“… Fine.”
Renier said as she pushed the gold coin from the man back towards him.
“This is a contract.”
“And the rest?”
“Today at midnight, come out to the docks.”
The man grinned and slipped the gold coin into his pocket. It means that the transaction has been completed.
The man disappeared, humming his hum, while Renier roughly brushed her hair.
“I need to prepare some money, Any.”

‘It was moist.’
Veldemer seemed to still have the texture on his lips. Renier’s lips were moist and soft.
‘Those plump lips that were crushed by my lips seemed to let me in at any moment, but then they closed tightly.’
The touch on the tip of his tongue was tantalizing and boiling.
‘Was this what kissing felt like?’
Veldemer had to struggle quite a bit to get her moist lips off his mind.
“…ter?”
“What did you say, Shapiro?”
Veldemer had been lost for a while. Shapiro clicked his tongue inwardly at the sight of his master’s daydreaming.
“I said it was weird, Master.”
“Yeah, it’s definitely weird.”
‘Whenever I close my eyes, I see Renier’s face under the half-lifted veil. Her round brown eyes and red lips.’
“Why didn’t the wish come true?”
Even after finishing the kiss of oath, Renier’s wish was still not fulfilled. The number on Veldemer’s forearm was the same, and above all, Veldemer had not returned to the statue.
“What happened to your magic?”
As he kissed Renier, Veldemer apparently used magic. But when he returned to the room, the power had disappeared again.
“Enchanted.”
He seemed to be enchanted. The nibbling sound as his lips fell on Renier’s still lingered in his ears.
“Master, I’m telling you this just in case.”
While Veldemer was asleep in the statue, Shapiro devoured many books written by humans. In quite a few stories, the protagonist is enchanted.
Who could be woken up with a kiss of love.
“Is it possible that you will only be able to use magic by kissing Lady Renier?”
***
“Is this right?”
Priya, while tying her frizzy hair into a knot, nervously moved the branches obscuring her view.
“I did well finding this complicated road.”
Priya checked her map again and moved on. Her map, which she had lost, was apparently hidden in Renier’s drawer.
At first, when the map to the wish-granting statue and the key to awaken it disappeared, she suspected others.
“Is that it?”
Priya walked along the road towards the looming temple.
When Renier, who had been obsessed with Edwin, suddenly changed her attitude, she knew then.
She took it, my treasure.
So, while Renier was away saying she was going on a trip, Priya searched her room, and as expected, it was in Renier’s room.
“How greedy. She came here to make another wish while having a lot of money.”
Priya, who was walking while commenting sarcastically even though no one was listening, arrived in front of the temple. According to the information obtained, the statue was sleeping in the basement of the temple.
As she went down the stairs, Priya’s lips only drooped more and more.
‘The time has finally come to make my wish come true.’
“…What is this?”
Priya’s dejected voice echoed through the empty basement.
“There is nothing!”
***
‘Did the wish come true? Will Veldemer return to the statue? It was a bit sad to think that Veldemer will disappear again in those few days.’
“Are you sleeping?”
“No, come in.”
Renier was just thinking about Veldemer, and Veldemer came to her room.
“Are you here to say goodbye?”
“No. The wish has not yet come true.”
“Huh?”
Also because of Edwin’s presence. With Edwin as her husband, Veldemer was like Renier’s mistress in a way.
If she divorces Edwin, Veldemer will naturally become her husband, so he can return to the statue and await his next wish. And Renier will lose both of her husbands. But it’s better for her to be lonely than to rot in prison for 10 years of being accused of bigamy.
“And I can’t use my magic.”
“But you used it earlier.”
‘What the hell is going on?’ Renier’s thoughts were complicated and she furrowed his eyebrows.
“There must be a reason why it worked before and not now.”
Renier recalled the situation in which Veldemer used magic. It was raining and they were kissing.
“…Don’t tell me.”
“Yeah, I think it was because of the kiss. So I want to try it again.”
