One year later, in the early morning, a pink-haired girl with twin pigtails woke up in a large manor in the Imperial Capital.
Since the day, half a year ago, when she was captured by the big bad guy in the Southwest Border, Mine had lived a life of being bullied daily by that scoundrel. Everything she had was taken from her—her purity, dignity, and arrogance were all gone!
But unknowingly, she had come to like that feeling. As long as she was pressed down by that man, she couldn't help but feel excited and thrilled, so she had integrated into their lives.
Today, after waking up, Mine began her busy life.
Now, the empire's army had conquered various barbarian tribes in the surrounding areas. All obstacles in Lin Feng's path had been flattened!
Therefore, a week ago, Lin Feng and Esdeath announced their wedding. In fact, when Lin Feng was informed about the marriage, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Esdeath walked over with a smile, "Now you have completed the task of expanding the territory. We can also prepare for the wedding earlier, can't we?"
"That's true, but…"
Lin Feng looked troubled. He had already conquered four worlds, and he didn't want to give up a forest for a single tree. Just as he was thinking of an excuse, he suddenly saw determination, persistence, and… a longing for family and love in Esdeath's blue eyes.
It seemed she truly wanted to have a legitimate marital status with Lin Feng.
"Forget it, I'll give the first wedding to her…" He sighed in his heart.
The wedding was held in the Imperial Capital Cathedral, a pure white cathedral with ancient and elegant decorations. This church belonged to the Church of Tranquility, which had now pledged allegiance to the Empire.
Thousands of guards in black uniforms patrolled tirelessly around the magnificent cathedral, holding the latest Imperial Arms and scrutinizing every person passing by with sharp gazes.
At nine in the morning, luxurious carriages, escorted by guards, arrived from the wide main road. After stopping in front of the church, elegantly dressed royalty and nobles stepped out of the carriages.
These people were only able to attend the wedding because they received an invitation from Lin Feng. Besides them, even Grand Dukes were not allowed to enter.
Lin Feng replaced Honest and became the newly appointed Minister, while Esdeath became the Empire's new General after General Bude's sudden demise.
The young Emperor would personally attend the wedding, serving as the officiant to add luster to his most trusted subject.
Moments later, with the Emperor at the head, the royal family attended the wedding, turning the ceremony of their union into a grand national event. It was also in this way that the Emperor publicly demonstrated the extent of his trust and reliance on Lin Feng.
Along the long aisles leading to the center of the church, the Imperial Capital's royalty, nobles, civil officials, and military generals gathered.
The entire church was buzzing with activity, everyone discussing the legendary deeds of the bride and groom. The Empire was now developing in a prosperous direction, and this could not have happened without the efforts of Lin Feng and Esdeath.
Suddenly, sacred music began to play, and the chatting nobles immediately composed themselves and looked towards the entrance.
Suzuka and Muzzle, who were responsible for guarding, pushed open the heavy wooden doors together, and today's protagonist walked in steadily under everyone's gaze. He wore a well-fitted black suit and had a composed, perfect smile on his face.
"Minister Lin Feng, congratulations!"
At this moment, he was extremely proud. Although he knew that a wedding was merely a ceremony, and bonds like this clearly couldn't restrain him, he was still incredibly excited.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he walked to the center of the church, in front of the young Emperor.
Once Lin Feng stood firm, everyone's gaze shifted back to the main entrance.
There, Esdeath, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, held red flowers in both hands.
Today, Esdeath uncharacteristically wasn't wearing her white military uniform. The white wedding gown, woven from silk, swayed gently in the breeze, her blue hair was faintly visible beneath the white veil, and her azure eyes shimmered with endless tenderness.
There was a stir among the crowd, everyone looking at Esdeath in her white wedding gown with amazed expressions.
Although Esdeath was sometimes terrifying, her unadorned, genuine smile was extremely charming!
When he looked behind her, Lin Feng's gaze became a little awkward.
Trailing Esdeath's several-meter-long wedding gown were none other than Akame and Kurome, dressed in white formal dresses.
Not only that, among the bridesmaids behind Esdeath, Cornelia, Sai Liu, Boni, and Tsukushi were smiling brightly, Leone had a gloomy expression, Chelsea feigned shyness, and Mine wore a look of enduring humiliation.
General Najenda sat on a central pew, expressionlessly applauding Lin Feng softly. She acted as if she were truly unperturbed.
But Lin Feng could see a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
This woman, who had dedicated her entire life to the Empire, had secretly maintained an ambiguous relationship with Lin Feng. The cold General Najenda was passionately fiery in bed.
Remus, Wu Min, and Yin looked extremely nervous, fearing they might embarrass Lord Lin Feng in front of so many high-ranking officials.
Meanwhile, Sheele and Sha You, who weren't assigned tasks, sat on chairs, their eyes filled with envy.
Mérad of the Assassination Society also attended the wedding. She sat on a pew, her expression a half-smile, glancing at Lin Feng, then stroking her belly with her hand, her eyes full of cunning.
Mérad wasn't invited by Lin Feng; instead, she had disguised herself and infiltrated the venue after learning that Lin Feng was getting married.
And these women, including Mérad, had all had relations with Lin Feng. Fortunately, Lin Feng was thick-skinned enough not to show any embarrassment.
Esdeath also noticed Mérad. Recalling that she had encountered this female pervert in her youth, she symbolically pinched the soft flesh at Lin Feng's waist, but felt no jealousy in her heart.
Like a proud Empress, she raised her head, walking with a composed smile towards the center of the hall with Lin Feng.
She was the one who understood everything about Lin Feng and was marrying him. Even if she had any emotions, she would display them openly and with full confidence.
Before the sacred table, the young Emperor held a golden scepter, looking at them excitedly.
Since Lin Feng and Esdeath were not religious, the young Emperor was more than happy to assume the role of the priest.
He picked up a black scripture and spoke solemnly.
"Ms. Esdeath, do you take this handsome man before you to be your husband? To be his life partner, to accompany him, believe in him, support him, and rely on him? To remain with him faithfully until the end of your life, whether in sickness or in health, in wealth or in poverty?"
At this moment, Esdeath flung her hand, causing her wedding gown to flutter, and then replied with a confident tone.
"I do!"
The young Emperor nodded at her, then looked at Lin Feng and said in a calm tone: "…Mr. Lin Feng, do you take this beautiful woman before you to be your wife? To be her life partner, to comfort her, protect her, cherish her, and regard her as a precious treasure? Whether in sickness or in health, in wealth or in poverty."
"Will you always remain faithful to her until the end of your life?"
Suddenly, Lin Feng paused. He couldn't promise eternal fidelity.
"Forget it, it's just a ceremony anyway."
"I do." He gave the same answer as Esdeath.
"Then, please exchange your tokens as a testament to eternal love and fidelity!"
Under the young Emperor's declaration, Lin Feng and Esdeath took out golden rings and placed them on each other's ring fingers.
After the young Emperor finished his final blessings, the entire church erupted.
The bride and groom on the stage looked at each other, completely forgetting everything else.
Lin Feng wrapped his arms around Esdeath's slender waist, giving her no chance to react, and directly kissed her moist lips.
…
Time flew by. A month later, on a morning, the curtains gently swayed with the morning breeze, and the rising sun shone upon three naked bodies.
The two women on the bed were utterly exhausted; they had played wildly with Lin Feng last night and were now sleeping soundly.
Akitsu, whose head rested on Lin Feng's chest, stirred her eyes and opened them just in time to see Esdeath sleeping opposite her.
Last night, Lin Feng and Esdeath had ganged up on her, teasing her relentlessly. Besides the embarrassment, she also experienced an extreme pleasure from such absurdity. The thought of her wild behavior last night made Akitsu's pretty face instantly flush.
She subtly shifted her body, preparing to slip out of the bedroom while they were still asleep.
After sitting up, Akitsu could see Esdeath's unclad jade-like body. Her round, firm buttocks, straight, fair thighs, and full, ample breasts all exuded the unique charm of a mature woman.
This perfect figure and extraordinary strength made Akitsu feel immense pressure.
Moreover, Akitsu didn't know why, but she always felt that Esdeath's smile towards her contained some special, chilling meaning.
"Hmm…" Esdeath also woke up, just in time to see Akitsu trying to sneak away.
"Akitsu, how did you feel last night? Was it comfortable?" A teasing smile appeared on Esdeath's face.
Akitsu remembered the feeling of being suckled by her last night, feeling greatly embarrassed, and wanted to grab her clothes and quickly leave.
"Don't go." Lin Feng reached out and pulled Akitsu into his embrace.
Afterward, Akitsu's moving cries echoed in the room. This sound lasted for more than two hours before Lin Feng and Esdeath finally got dressed and walked out of the bedroom…
In the evening, a familiar system voice, growing clearer, sounded in his ear.
"Congratulations, Shen Xuan Zhe, for completing the main mission!"
…After settling the mission, Lin Feng bid farewell to the women who were seated.
"Although you, General, can be quite willful at times, I still thank you for your companionship these past days. Believe me, it won't be long before I take you to a brand-new world—my most beautiful wife."
Lin Feng gently held Esdeath's soft, jade-like hand and spoke his farewell.
"Since you've said so, I hope you won't make me wait too long."
Esdeath, aware of the existence of other worlds, was not surprised by his departure and bid him farewell readily.
She and he embraced tightly, Lin Feng lowered his head, and his face drew closer to hers. Finally, their lips met.
Even after multiple embraces, his warmth, his scent, still intoxicated Esdeath so deeply.
However…
All these beautiful things came to an abrupt halt with Lin Feng's dissipation…
