Chapter 1: Became the Master of the Weakest Demon King- 1

I’m getting married.

To her.

The most beautiful woman in the empire, my beloved fiancée, and my savior.

But… the woman standing in the wedding dress in front of me felt unfamiliar.

The only familiar parts were her silver hair, tied up gracefully, and the blue eyes staring back at me.

But her cold, emotionless face was one I’d never seen before.

As I stared at her icy expression, I stood frozen in place.

I had heard the rumors.

But I didn’t want to believe them.

I couldn’t bring myself to believe them.

However, the woman before me was proof enough.

The rumors that she had married someone else while I was away at war were true.

“…”

She stared at me wordlessly.

Her cold, distant eyes pierced through my heart.

Was this really the same woman who once smiled at me so warmly?

“…I’m sorry.”

Eventually, I squeezed out those words.

But it felt like they didn’t even reach her.

As if to confirm that she had no intention of responding, she turned her back to me and walked away without a word.

I stood there, rooted to the spot, unable to take a single step as I watched her back slowly fade away.

At that moment, a voice called from behind me.

“Captain?”

“…”

“Captain, are you alright?”

“…Ah.”

When I came back to my senses, I was still in my room.

A soldier standing behind me was looking at me with concern.

My chest felt heavy and painful, making it hard to breathe.

“Captain, what’s wrong?”

“…It’s nothing. Just a little fatigue.”

I forced a smile as I waved the soldier away.

But deep down, I knew it wasn’t just fatigue.

It was the memories of the past that I was trying to forget flooding back.
