Long Live Your Majesty, Except for me - Chapter 187
Only Ranovel
#187. Side story 10. Happiness in hand (lower)

Melchizedek wanted us to prepare the wedding ourselves.
“Wouldn’t it be better to ask someone with experience here?”
“Yes, you said we should do it with experienced people.”
Ah, that’s how it comes out. I glared at Melchizedek, who was smiling softly.
If we were talking about the past, this one had a lot to say.
“Of course, Your Majesty must have tremendous experience… … . As someone who has only tried it once, I can’t even follow along… … .”
“Haha, but in terms of food experience, you would be the winner. “I’ve never faced maintenance, so I’ve never cooled down.”
You really spoke well. But if you were avoiding responsibility like that, I also had something to say.
“Then you are not experienced.”
“Oh, kinda. … … “There are some things I wanted to do with you.”
However, the moment you softened your eyes and begged, Hoseungsim disappeared like bubbles.
“Besides, if you make the excuse of preparing for a wedding, I can stay here for a long time. “Isn’t it nice to have time to be together legally?”
Well, I’ve always been like this.
I end up giving you everything you want.
It wasn’t a matter of status or position. Because I ended up being fascinated by you.
“… … Well, okay. You will only have one wedding in this life, so we will do whatever you want. “What do you want?”
So in the end, I gave up my stubbornness again.
Just like it has always been.
And after some time, I was tempted to change my decision.
“Isn’t this rather small?”
Because there was really, really, really, a lot of what you wanted.
Since there were so many things to decide, we decided to first come up with an overall plan and then decide on the details one by one.
However, Melchizedek wants to personally decide on the type and amount of flowers for the ceremony.
“Wouldn’t it be better to leave this to someone else?”
“No, I have the perfect picture I want. Even the color of the flower has to match that.”
“If there is such a clear prize, you can decide on your own… … .”
“That’s not good either, I want this wedding to be perfect for you too. It’s not that it’s annoying, it’s just that if the picture isn’t as pretty as you think, I’m willing to change it.”
“I have the confidence to think that it would be a perfect wedding if only you were there next to me… … .”
He smiled softly.
“Even if you say such pretty things, you can’t do anything that you can’t do. Now, quickly think about it in your head.”
However, unlike the eye smile that seemed to melt, the answer was as firm as if it could cut metal.
“I’ll decide on the details later, but for now, I want the veil to be very long. Enough to come down to your feet. “It has to be very, very thin as it doesn’t want to cover the dress.”
Even though it is thin, considering the length and the weight of the accessories that will keep the veil steady… … .
“I might break my neck.”
“Cheer up, unless you want to cut me off for the rest of my life.”
However, just because it seemed heavy didn’t mean it would look bad.
Surely, it would look better if the dress was visible through a thin veil. Normally, wearing layers of clothes looks more formal.
I roughly calculated the length of the veil, wrote it down, and moved on. It’s the groom’s robe… … .
Isn’t the opinion of the person wearing this important?
But your thoughts were different.
“How about you? “Is there something you want?”
“well… … . As you know, I’m not really interested in clothes.”
Of course, as the Emperor, he couldn’t wear basic clothes, but he wasn’t very creative. It was a situation where I had no idea whether flowers or jewelry would be better as decoration.
“On that day, I was completely your doll. You can decorate and dress it however you want. “Isn’t that opportunity worth it?”
“Do you mean no other than that day?”
“Of course,”
I asked teasingly, feeling mischievous, and he immediately kissed the back of my hand where I was holding the pen and spoke in a soothing voice.
“I will always be your doll and possession.”
The voice was as sweet as honey, and the gaze that met was as soft as silk. It felt as if my headache, which had been pounding in the face of an unfamiliar and overwhelming workload, had healed.
yes. The time I spent with you was always this kind and sweet.
Just as we were when we were the younger brothers of a fallen family leader and a king who had nothing.
Our alone time without other people interfering was originally something meaningless and enjoyable.
I feel like I can enjoy this time more.
“That’s the promise.”
okay. That’s the biggest advantage of this complicated and headache-inducing marriage. Being able to announce in front of everyone that we belong to each other.
So I decided to exert a little more strength. okay. Isn’t it a marriage that only happens once in your life?
Isn’t it a ceremony with a loved one that you have had once in two lives? You should try everything you can.
I gathered all my imagination and tried to think of a scene like this.
Whether you want to sprinkle pearls on your clothes, decorate the hem with diamonds, or decorate the buttons with fresh flowers.
It was still vague, but the overall picture was clearer than before when I had no vision.
May my imagination match yours. I diligently moved my pen, hoping for that.

“Today we are all gathered here to celebrate the occasion… … .”
Melchizedek and I were outside the ceremony hall, listening to the officiant’s voice coming from inside. For reference, the emperor was the king.
It wasn’t particularly pleasing to me, but since they were considerate in having the ceremony held in the kingdom, I had to make some concessions here as well.
Moreover, considering that it was the Emperor’s will that we first met… … . Regardless of the fact that I didn’t like him, he was a suitable choice for the officiant.
However, since the officiant was the emperor and the groom and bride were the emperor and king respectively, the opening speech was extremely verbose.
“under… … . Was marriage always this tense?”
Maybe it was because the waiting time had increased, but you had the most anxious face I’ve ever seen.
You’re not the kind of person to be nervous about something like a ceremony, so this is probably just nervousness from the fact that you’re getting married to me.
If you think about it that way, that anxious-looking face wasn’t that bad.
“Are you nervous?”
“I don’t think I’ve ever been this nervous in my life.”
He looked back at me with a hard face and resentful eyes.
I barely managed to raise the corner of his mouth and took his hand and placed it on my heart.
He would also be able to feel his heartbeat, which was beating twice as fast as usual.
“If it looks that way, you’re either so nervous that you can’t even use your facial muscles, or the tension is blocking your eyes.”
I felt the corners of Melchizedek’s eyes relax as he quietly felt my heartbeat. He seemed to relax a bit when he realized that the people next to him were also nervous.
“Doesn’t it somehow feel unreal?”
You turned your hand over and held my hand, then lowered your hand and muttered softly.
“I’ve dreamed of this situation countless times… … . In my past life and in this life. So, I’m scared that this too is a dream.”
This is his weak side without any calculations.
You didn’t really try to hide your weakness. Rather, even that appearance was used as a means to take advantage of the other person.
So, the many instances of weakness I have seen of you were always calculated to lie at the foundation.
There is nothing like that. A pure look without even an ulterior motive to gain more affection from me.
Every so often, when you show me that you don’t have any intentions, I become even weaker towards you.
Even though I thought I was so weak that I couldn’t be weaker anymore.
“—If this is a dream.”
So I kissed you through the veil. A chaste and pure kiss where only the lips meet.
“Then, come see me again after you wake up from your dream.”
I am completely absorbed in your blue eyes. It seems like there’s only you and me in the world.
I think that if I were given a third life, it would be nice to return to farming with you.
I think it would be nice to live a life where we fill each other’s lives with just you and me, without caring about the country or anything else.
“Let’s make this dream a reality once again.”
Unlike you, who dreamed of marrying me even in your dreams, I never wanted to marry you, even in my dreams.
I felt like once I wanted something like that, I couldn’t stop my desire.
My hunch was right. Accept your marriage proposal, set a wedding date, and prepare for it.
At every moment, I felt my desire to become a couple with you and live a life together growing stronger.
In my previous life, it would have been okay for me to have lived as a stranger to you for decades. I could have even turned back your marriage proposal as if it never happened.
I don’t want this to end as a dream anymore.
“… … okay. “From the moment you said you wouldn’t regret it, you are now completely obsessed with me.”
“You are obsessed with me too.”
I answered, glancing down at our hands with our fingers intertwined.
His expression relaxed for a moment, then reassembled again.
The young expression on his face is now quite scheming.
It means that the face looks like ‘a new groom who is very nervous about his first wedding.’
From the guests’ perspective, they can be said to be a very fresh and loving couple.
Since I am the only one who needs to know who you are without any calculations, I am actually happy to see this fake face of yours.
I look at your face and imitate that expression. How difficult it is for us to truly relax.
Nevertheless, it is enough for each other to know how nervous we are right now and how we cannot believe reality.
“—Bride and groom, please enter.”
Just then, the long opening speech is over, and a sound is heard announcing the start of the ceremony.
We looked into each other’s eyes and gave strength to our hands, which were already tightly clasped with our fingers intertwined.
