Chapter 171:Happy Ending of a Worn-out Romance Fantasy (Complete)

On the day of the wedding.

The union of two great families, Rahardt and Ferbache. The wedding could not help but be grand by its very name.

The flower pillars and red roses lining the aisle made it seem as if a garden of paradise had been moved here, and the massive chandelier on the ceiling sparkled in gold, completing the scene.

Sunlight streamed in through the large windows, warmly coloring the venue, and the subtle scent of incense candles floating in the air, along with the sounds of stringed instruments, added to the atmosphere.

Outside, the mansion was bustling. The servants were all preparing for the ceremony with tense faces, and the sound of footsteps hurrying back and forth never ceased.

The lobby was already crowded with distinguished guests from various places, and considering security, the entire Rahardt Knights were deployed, providing airtight security.

For this one day, this place was the most brilliant center in the empire.

“Oh my, the Duke’s skin is so good.”

“His jawline is truly like a sculpture…”

“He’s fun to doll up.”

As it was a wedding, Yohan, as the groom’s side, had to be adorned. This was because the moment would be captured with Mana Canvas. If he could be made up more, he should be.

Of course, that didn’t mean putting makeup on his face or anything like that. It was just tidying him up to look a bit more presentable.

“Done. Finishing touches complete!”

“Would you like to stand up and turn around once?”

Yohan rose from the chair and slowly turned around once.

“Perfect!”

“We couldn’t create a better masterpiece than this…”

“It’s a masterpiece.”

The servants clapped in unison. Judging by the way they were pretending to wipe away tears, they seemed genuinely happy.

“Then I’ll head out first. Today’s wedding is going to proceed a bit specially.”

“Ah, a group wedding?”

“Yes. I need to tell them in advance so people aren’t surprised.”

Yohan smiled lightly and straightened his attire once more.

“I’ll be back.”

Then he left the dressing room and headed to the grand banquet hall.

The long corridor, draped in quiet silence, was empty.

That was because everyone was gathered in the banquet hall.

“Yohan.”

It was just as he was heading to the banquet hall.

Someone called his name.

“Brother, it’s been a while.”

It was Mulden Harssen, the eldest brother of the Harssen baronetcy. Around him were his father, Balder Harssen, and his second brother, Daran Harssen.

“It’s been a while. You’ve risen so high in the world that you’ve soared into the sky.”

Yohan’s father, Balder Harssen, smiled kindly and spoke to him.

“It just turned out that way.”

Yohan smiled awkwardly and nodded.

“At first, I wondered how it would all turn out. You’ve managed to come this far. I’m proud of you, Yohan.”

“Thank you.”

Balder shook his head.

“There’s no need to thank me. I couldn’t give you any help. The glory you’re enjoying now is all made by your own power, Yohan.”

The Harssen baronetcy did not give Yohan any help. They didn’t have the means to invest in the third son, but it was also because he was involved with the Duke Ferbache.

Since he was involved with the ducal family, he had to seize the opportunity? That was a foolish thought. The family could collapse in an instant. They had that kind of power.

The Harssen baronet knew his place well. He knew how far the Harssen baronetcy could go, and he knew which fruits had poison hidden within them.

That’s why the Harssen baronet drew a clear line with Yohan. He was the father of three sons, but before that, he was the head of the Harssen family.

In effect, it was the same as abandoning Yohan.

“Still, you believed in me.”

However, Yohan smiled faintly.

“My actions could have put the family in danger, but you believed in me, so you told me to do as I pleased, didn’t you? That’s enough for me.”

He wasn’t a child. He was more aware of the aristocratic society than anyone else, and he knew it well. The Harssen baronet had simply chosen the best for his son.

If Yohan had offended Duke Ferbache, the Harssen baronetcy would not have been safe, even if they had drawn a line.

But the Harssen baronet told Yohan to do as he pleased. He just cut off support.

“Your social skills are always admirable.”

“I learned it from Father.”

“I guess we can’t survive otherwise.”

The Harssen baronet chuckled.

“Congratulations on your wedding, brother.”

“Congratulations, we’ve only been hearing amazing news this year.”

Mulan and Daran smiled and patted Yohan on the shoulder.

“Thank you, brothers.”

They weren’t close enough to feel familial love, but the moment gave a strange resonance.

*    *    *

The grand banquet hall of the Rahardt ducal residence.

Tables laden with numerous kinds of food and drinks, with servants waiting around them.

In the center, nobles who had received invitations were crowded together, and there was also a group centered around the imperial family.

Step.

Yohan slowly walked forward, to the second floor of the banquet hall. Standing at the railing, he spoke into the Magical Tool.

[Amidst your busy schedules, I would like to express my gratitude to all the guests who have attended to celebrate my marriage.]

His calm voice echoed through the Magical Tool.

[But before celebrating this moment, there is something I must tell you in advance.]

The guests, who had been chatting, all turned their gazes and listened to Yohan’s words.

[I, Yohan Rahardt, am polygamous.]

Thud.

As if a large rock had fallen into a quiet lake, the eyes of the nobles in the banquet hall widened in an instant.

Polygamy wasn’t strange. It often happened in various noble families. Some extravagant great nobles even kept concubines.

However, polygamy was not common either.

Especially for a noble with such high honor as Yohan.

Even the family of his legal wife was the Duke Ferbache, one of the four great families. That family, called the Overlord of the North.

But polygamy?

Seeing the dumbfounded faces of the nobles, Yohan added.

[Of course, this was not a decision I made on my own. My fiancée also agreed to it, and that is why I became polygamous.]

The banquet hall was filled with murmurs. Yohan, who had reached the realm of transcendence and had far superior senses than others, could hear what they were saying.

“Polygamy? The Guardian of the Sun, who represents the empire…?”

“It would be stranger if he didn’t. The Rahardt bloodline needs to be spread more.”

“At one time, he didn’t seem to see anyone but the Ferbache duchess…”

“Is there a problem? The Duke Rahardt is just doing what he wants.”

Opinions were divided among the nobles. But it didn’t matter what they thought.

[Therefore.]

Yohan said with a firm expression. His low voice echoed through the Magical Tool.

[This wedding will be a moment for me and my lovers. I hope you will simply enjoy it and celebrate this moment.]

After his words, the nobles in the hall were enveloped in heavy silence. It was because they didn’t know how to react.

But it was only for a moment.

Clap clap clap.

Someone clapped. It was Crown Prince Descartes Rogino. He smiled brightly and applauded Yohan, who was on the second-floor railing.

“Duke Rahardt always surprises everyone! I support your love!”

Descartes read the situation. He knew that he had to support Rahardt here so as not to incur resentment. That’s why he responded first.

Clap clap clap…!

Following him, other nobles applauded. It was a wedding that Descartes, who was considered the next emperor, acknowledged and

supported. It was enough to have doubts with just emotions.

[Thank you.]

Yohan smiled contentedly.

Descartes Rogino, he’s quick-witted as expected.

*    *    *

The time for the wedding ceremony was approaching.

Somewhat big news had been heard, but the nobles did not act rashly. The topic that seemed like it would become noisy quickly subsided, and a dignified atmosphere continued.

And.

Bbaam-Bbababam-!

With the orchestra’s performance, the wedding began.

“We will now have the groom, Duke Rahardt, enter!”

The priest in charge of the ceremony smiled brightly and shouted. Yohan walked out onto the path that was wrapped in pure white.

Clap clap clap…!

The nobles smiled and applauded.

[Next, we will have the first bride, the Ferbache duchess, enter! Please welcome her with a big round of applause!]

Clap clap clap clap!

The applause grew even louder.

Click.

Her footsteps echoed between the sound of the orchestra’s music and the clapping.

Francia was wearing a pure white wedding dress, the symbol of nobility, and holding pure white flowers.

[She is the second bride! Miss Rudella!]

Following her, Rudella appeared. Her sky-like eyes, nestled in white roses, fluttered.

The nobles, who had been applauding, held their breath.

“Rudella, you mean…”

“The Crown Princess designate?”

“She didn’t defect?”

And once again, there was a stir. It was no wonder that they were surprised that she, who had been missing, suddenly appeared, and

came to Yohan’s wedding as a bride.

However, Rudella did not shrink back in the slightest. She was noble and steadfast. No gaze, no words could break the rose that was

Rudella.

And they did not antagonize Rudella. The forces supporting the former Crown Prince, led by Bismarck, were already on the path to

ruin.

[She is the third bride, Lady Rudbeckia Friché!]

The priest in charge of the ceremony naturally continued the introduction.

Rudbeckia was also wearing a pure white wedding dress. The sweet gaze coming from her sparkling emerald eyes was looking at Yohan.

[And finally, she is the fourth bride! Lady Eris Highlander!]

Eris smiled brightly as she came out onto the path that was wrapped in pure white. She was always expressionless, but now, smiles were in full bloom.

Clap clap clap…!

The nobles could not keep up with the situation, but they continued to applaud for the time being.

[The groom and brides have all entered. We will now receive the precious marriage vows.]

The priest in charge of the ceremony continued.

[It is time to confirm each other’s love. The groom and brides, please proceed with the vows.]

Yohan slowly revealed the pure white veils of the four women in turn.

“I, Yohan Rahardt, will love my wives without discrimination, and I promise that the love I have promised will not change and will be eternal.”

First, he said to Francia.

“Even if the stars in the sky are exhausted, my love will not change. Today, under the eyes of God, I swear, engraving your name as fate.”

Francia smiled and swore her vows, then kissed Yohan.

And as Yohan moved to the side, Rudella’s vow began.

“My heart beats with your name, and my soul finds peace with your smile. At this moment, I will follow as your shadow, and I will live as your light. I will give you all my days.”

After completing her vows, Rudella kissed Yohan on the cheek.

“Yohan, I will be the night and morning for you. At this moment, I swear with all my blood and heart. That I will love you until the end.”

Rudbeckia blushed and approached carefully, gently kissing Yohan on the cheek.

“You are my destiny and the eternity I have chosen. My sword is held to protect you, and my lips will pray for your name.”

Eris teared up and raised her heels. And she kissed Yohan on the forehead, who bent over slightly.

[With this, the marriage of Duke Rahardt and his four wives has been established. God will sincerely bless this moment and guarantee the eternal love between the couples.]

With this, the wedding was over.

It was a tumultuous time, but there were no regrets.

He was able to change the future by seizing the past mistakes as he returned to the past—

This story of a devastated fate now comes to a close with a true happy ending.
