Chapter 257: Husband and a Fiancé

Lier and I exchanged rings.

It really feels strange to do this in real life.

Does this count as fake engagement?

I mean, we are already married. Not only that, she and I have done some stuff...which is pretty normal nowadays.

I am just happy Lier was in love with me.

I can't imagine if she had a boyfriend.

Even if she had, I would steal her and kill that guy.

Would that make her hate me?

Sigh~

What is wrong with me?

If Lier hears what I was thinking she would stop talking with me.

[Let's congratulate the King and his fiancé]

The entire garden was filled with applause.

Lier was smiling at me, like she always does. But whenever I see her smile, I can feel my heart skipping a beat.

As I was admiring her beauty, I looked back at the person glaring at me.

It was none other than Elena's father.

When mother informed him that I would be engaging Lier in my coronation party. He went full berserk.

He called his other lawyer friends, and he was dead set on divorcing me and Elena.

I am glad that Elena's mother was on our side.

Not only that, mother had to bow down and apologize for that.

I made mother do something for me again.

I need to grow up.

Well, I am the king now. No one will dare to speak against me, though I am hearing many cursing me, even now.

I am sure Elena's dad won't try to threaten me now that I am the king--

He took an apple from the table and tabbed it with a for while glaring at me. 

--or maybe not.

I get why he is angry about it, and I understand him. I would do the same if I found out that my daughter's boyfriend--my daughter won't have a boyfriend! 

I won't ever let her meet anyone!

"Congratulations, my stupid son" mother said, tapping my shoulders from behind.

"Thanks mother"

"Huh?"

"What?"

"It's nothing"

What is she so shocked about?

"Hey, congrats champ!" Dad said, pinching my cheeks.

"Thanks dad"

"You already have two wives at the age of 18, huh?"

"Haha"

"When I was around your age, I was still being bullied by your mother every day"

"Hey! Derek, I never bullied you. We were competing, remember?"

"You were the one who always used to come to me, looking for a competition. And force me, even though I never wanted to"

"Wh-what are you talking about? Don't say that in front of Das!"

This is quite different from the love story they told me.

They told me the diluted version, or rather, it was from dad's perspective.

Mom never told her side. Though I already know everything.

Daulla told me most of the things about mom, how she was in her high school days.

And apparently, mom was head over heels for dad from her very first meeting with dad. 

It kinda reminded me of me and Elena.

"Good luck, Das"

"Thanks"

"Hey, look. my nephew is now my son-in-law" Lirole said.

"Stop it Li-aunt Lirole"

"I can't believe this is really happening. Lier used to be head over heels for you whenever we ever mentioned you. And I was really worried that what would happen if she didn't end up with you, but all my worries are faded now"

"Come on now. We are both already married"

"But still, in the eye of the world, she is just your fiancé"

"He is my husband and a fiancé" Lier added.

"You better not annoy his girlfriend, okay?" Lirole remarked.

"I won't! We are already friends!"

It's been like an hour since I called Elena, and she isn't here yet.

Dammit!

She missed many things.

I knew I shouldn't have trusted Selena.

I should have gone and picked her up.

Sigh~

"Okay, enjoy yourself now" Lirole came close to me and said, "You can even drink beers now. How about you take Lier with you and taste some?" 

"..."

I would love to but mother...

I glanced at mother who was standing right beside me, and she has probably heard everything. 

She opened her mouth and said, "You can go if you want. I won't stop you from doing anything anymore" 

"Thanks"

It's kind of sad that the old days of her scolding me won't ever come again. But I still have a chance to make her feel proud and get lots of pats and praise from her.

I grabbed Lier's hand and took her to the drinking area.

"If anyone does something weird or even looks at you in a weird way, tell me"

I will gauge his eyes out.

"Don't worry. I know you will protect me"

"I will protect all of you"

"Cool as always"

"Lily, keep an eye around please"

[Okay]

"Elena hasn't come here yet?" Lier asked.

"She hasn't. Let me call her"

[I will call her]

"No need. Let me do it"

[Fine]

I called Elena.

She answered it in a second.

[Das!]

"Where are you?"

[There is too much traffic] 

"Where are you?"

[The taxi driver dropped us off near the palace]

"Of course he would. No vehicles are allowed"

[We are walking our way to the Royal Garden]

"It will take 40 minutes"

[So what?]

"And I already engaged Lier"

[I don't care]

"What?"

[I am not coming there to see you engage some other girl]

"Selena. Give the phone back to ELena"

[Tch. He can even recognize us from voices]

Of course, I would! 

Elena would never say something like that.

[Sorry, Das. She just took my phone suddenly]

"It's okay"

[The engagement is over?]

"Yes"

[Nuuu. I wanted to wish you two]

"You can still do it. Hey, just go to the palace, and tell the guards to call Daulla. She will let you guys in. I am coming over there to pick you up"

[Don't! We will come there]

"But you--"

[Don't leave Lier alone. It's a very happy moment for her]

"Fine. But please come quickly"

[We will be there in 20 minutes]

"Don't run"

[We won't!]

"Bye"

[I love you]

"Love you too"
