I Didn’t Tame The Beastly Duke!

Chapter 134: End of Main Story

In the pouring sunlight, the pale blue dress was shining beautifully, as if symbolising the god of heaven.  When Celia selected the dress, she was not intentionally thinking of Nedesmer, the god of heaven; however, people arbitrarily thought of it as being connected to Nedesmer.

Both Leonis and Celia were clad in golden robes as they rode in a carriage without a lid. The divine beast, taking the form of an adult, sat still and motionless across from them.

Suddenly, only his tail was gently wagging, and the only part of his body that was exposed from the carriage was his face. Even though it was just shown on his face, exclamations flowed from peoples mouths.

Divine beast! Divine beast!

Oh myThe God of Heaven is looking after the empire again!

Long live the Emperor!

Long live the Empress!

Suddenly, the voice that had been yelling about divine beasts transformed into a voice that was praising the emperor and empress. Celia was so embarrassed that her face flushed at the sound of people cheering.

No, why?

She knew that they were glad to see the divine beast again, who they thought was lost. However, when she heard the voice that she thought would only come after the emperor officially ascended the throne, she felt strange.

When the high priest first acknowledged Leonis as a paladin and emperor, Leonis was supposed to don the emperors crown himself and crown Celia with the empresss crown before they marched off together.

It was because Leonis insisted on taking the divine beast to the imperial palace like this from the beginning. After being crowned emperor, he changed the order so that he could first greet the people and then take some time to rest.

Im more comfortable with that too

Greetings have already been extended to him by dignitaries from other nations. Following the crowning ceremony, he intended to get some rest before going to the ball that was scheduled for the later part of the evening.

What are you thinking so hard about?

The newly renovated Duchy of Cardian had already undergone significant changes to its nature and structure. The construction, which should have been extensively carried out over many years, was completed in just a few weeks with the help of wizards.

Celia frowned at the thought of the place she called home, but it had already become more than that.

In some ways I thought it was like a wedding road.

Bwahaha!

The divine beast suddenly burst out laughing, and Leonis had a similar expression. The citizens who threw the flowers had gleaming looks in their eyes as the emperor moved closer to the empress.

The good relationship between the emperor and the empress is what the people of any country want.

But. Our wedding was like an informal ceremony. You can think of this as the two of us having a second wedding.

It was a marriage that didnt even go on a honeymoon, let alone a proper first night, because Michael even released a monster on the same day. It goes without saying that going on a honeymoon during that time would not have been a wise decision.

We can go on a honeymoon if you want.

Wah~ Whoa~ Are you trying to get Zeppel to be blamed for something? This time, as envoys from every nation came in, several new treaties were concluded. If you leave right now, the resentment wont be directed at you; rather, it will be directed towards me.

Celia looked at the divine beast, her eyes twinkling.

Are you going too?

Huh? Me too?

However, Leonis eyes were already tell If you follow me, I will kill you. One human and one canine were amicable towards one another, but after Leonis training in hell, the divine beast was about to realise who was superior, at least in terms of physical strength.

The divine beast jerked his head back and broke out in a cold sweat that he rarely shed.

Ah no. I am. because helping both of you escape is enough!

I see what you mean. What are you going to do?

While continuing to gently smile, Leonis asked Celia while still holding her by the waist. Celia had a difficult time during the ceremony, and she would not have hesitated to escape if she could have thrown away the crowning ball and done so.

Im sorry for Zeppel! Leon and I have been too busy for the past few weeks!

Now, Zeppel was serving as chancellor in the new empire. Nile was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nicole was the Knight Commander of the Royal Guard, and Miline was the Knight Commander of the Empress.

What was the point of trying to keep Leonis busy while still harbouring the secret hope that the imperial family would soon have a new heir? At Zeppels words, Miline passed by and said, Look at the sky to find the stars.. she muttered, and she remembered that she had apologized with a puzzled face.

Huhuhu.If you think that an apology will end the matter, you are mistaken! Im going to try my luck at getting a star this time!

Celia answered as she hugged Leonis in her arms. She could hear the people rejoicing in response to the sight. Celia spoke quietly into Leoniss ear.

Lets go. Honeymoon.

A good choice.

While this was going on, the carriage was entering the imperial palace. Those who had followed stood with their heads turned away from the entrance, unable to go inside.

They entered the central square where the coronation ceremony was taking place by going through the garden that was surrounded by knights and soldiers. On this day, many nobles travelled to Asylus, the newly established capital city.

The carriage stopped and Leonis, who got off first, deftly escorted Celia get off the carriage. The divine beast jumped down from the carriage and walked over to stand next to Celia.

Leonis and the divine beast stood on either side of Celia, protecting her.

Celia walked down the red carpet with one hand clinging to Leonis and the other resting on the head of her divine beast. 

As they approached the flight of stairs that led up to the throne, which was perched on an elevated platform, a soft light began to descend from the the sky.

Th-This is!

A rain of pure white flowers was falling from the sky. Golden petals poured over peoples heads and disappeared leaving behind a light and soft touch.

The people of Yelmor rejoiced, saying that it was a blessing from God. It was accepted that they were congratulating the new emperor and empress on the throne.

Hellion, who was attired in the robes of a high priest, was waiting with a gleeful expression as Celia, Leonis, and the divine beast climbed up onto the podium. In point of fact, the Pope intended to travel there himself; however, it is rumoured that something went wrong on the way, and he ended up spraining his ankle and being unable to make the trip.

Hellion appeared to take pleasure in imparting the information. He did not want to miss out on the opportunity to be the first person to bless the new Emperor and Empress.

If it were the Emperor, there would have been people around him who would treat him Is it really twisted?

It didnt make sense that he couldnt go unless he rolled over almost at the top of the stairs.

The High Priest Hellion smiled broadly as he cast his gaze towards the two people who were standing in front of him. Leonis kept a respectful silence as he observed him while he uttered the words of blessing and knelt in front of him.

Not too much longer after that, the servants and maids began to approach. On the silk cushions that the emperor and empress were holding, the crown and tiara that belonged to them respectively were placed.

Emperor, Empress

It was something she could never have imagined when she got married to Leonis. Having memories of her past life made her think she might have taken it easy.

With a mediaeval frame of mind, the idea of overthrowing the emperor and establishing a new imperial family was difficult to conceptualise.

Leonis, putting on an imperial air, lifted the emperors crown and placed it on his own head. Next, he picked up the empresss tiara and delicately positioned it on top of Celias head. 

He was mediocre in wearing the emperors crown, but when he put it on Celias head, he was very careful. When Celia laughed at that, a smile appeared on Leonis lips as well.

Smile? I mean laugh.

Leonis hand was naturally wrapped around Celias waist. Although it was very gratifying to see that figure, Zeppel had to clear his throat because the ceremony that was taking place behind him was also waiting.

Eheum!

The winter is over at last, but now you have a cold?

Despite being pinned down, Zeppel stood firm.

Shouldnt the pollen start to fly? It is the joy of the Imperial Family that the two of you are on good terms, but please do so in moderation. There are many eyes to see.

Leonis had Celia by the waist and was stroking her cheeks. He was deciding when to kiss her and gave Zeppel a mean look. Celia felt bad and let go of Leonis hand because of it.

Leonis gave Zeppel yet another angry look while simultaneously making a very sorry face. Zeppel put on an act as if he were unaware of the situation and winked at the attendant. The attendant hurried up to approach with the sceptre that belonged to the emperor.

Leonis took Celias hand and headed for the throne as the attendant knelt down and accepted the offering. The divine beast was walking side by side with them.

The new emperor and empress soon took their seats. The divine beast seemed to be comfortably seated at his feet.

Originally, it was said that the church should not show such an appearance because it is a law not to submit to the imperial family, but to the divine beast, the two were special.

So Ill look after you today.

He could see Zeppel approaching the nobles and greeting them on their behalf. Accordingly, all the nobles gathered in the venue bowed their heads toward Celia and Leonis.

Certainly, forever Thinking it was a scene she would see, Celia turned her eyes to the surroundings. The Montagues, who were Celias parents, were there as well.

The end of the coronation ceremony was signalled by the firing of celebratory shots. It wasnt as good as the fireworks at night, but colourful smoke embroidered the sky with the magicians efforts.

The evening would begin with a festival in the nations capital, followed by a ball that would be held in the imperial palace. Leonis stood up and said that from today on, there would be a festival that would last for an entire week.

The cheers of the people and the shouts to the emperor and empress seemed to shake the entire capital.

Now.

After lowering his head to speak to Celia, Leonis cast a thoughtful glance her way and whispered. Celia grabbed Leonis hand and quickly stood up.

They were an imperial couple who had already been introduced to and greeted by the majority of the ministers; however, the greetings received before and after the official coronation ceremony were different.

When Zeppel turned around to give them another greeting, he discovered the imperial couple trying to sneak away. He was a tiger, but the divine beast that had been following them and moving like a cat remained the same.

In three minutes, where are you going?

The question was in the form of a question, but he asked it with doubt regarding the behaviour of both of the others and the two of them together. It was a certainty that they would leave all these troublesome things to Zeppel and run away.

Is the ceremony over?

The ceremony is over, but there are many people who are waiting for the two of you, Your Majesty.

Leonis was already frowning at Zeppels words as if they were natural. He lifted Celia and put her on the back of the divine beast.

Hey!

The divine beast was enraged, but Leonis didnt even listen and climbed on his back. The divine beast spread his big wings even while grumbling.

Ah? Just give me two minutes!

Zeppel ran in fright, but the divine beast had already left the ceremony with two people and flew up to that height. The uncommon sight of the divine beast flying through the sky while carrying the emperor and his consort caused the nobles eyes to bulge out of their heads.

A rain of flowers was still falling from the sky. It wasnt real rain; it was rain that made people expect that it was rain that gave people the impression that it had been blessed by God.

So even if both of them run away like this, they wont be angry.

Celia, who had already been clarify as a saintess by the temple and became a saintess, thought. While Celia was being held tightly by Leonis, who was seated behind her, Leonis was getting ready to kiss her.

I am not a ride! You ungrateful emperor!

Ill pay you back with ten cakes.

Te-Ten cakes?

It doesnt matter if he doesnt eat food, but the divine beast, who has recently learned the joy of sweetness, seemed to hesitate. The divine beast raised his voice as if he had already lent his back and judged that he could not drop them.

There must be more than one plate of strawberry cake! Everything else is different!

Okay.

Leonis told the divine beast, who was happily moving his wings to the destination, and caressed Celias cheek. The way she looked back was sweet.

What are you going to give me?

Her hand tugged at the collar of his shirt, too. Leonis whispered, swallowing the smile that had risen on his lips.

Everything. Ill give you everything you want.

Either this capital, or the empire itself. If Celia wanted something, he was certain that he would give it to her, regardless of what it was.

Everything?

Yes. Everything.

Then Celia requested Leonis, who said to give me all of you, hugged him, and covered his lips.

It was sweet and ecstatic, as always. He smiled, confident that he would never forget this sensation and heat.

And it will go on forever.

Feeling a sense of foreboding more intense than ever, Leonis shuddered. Gods blessings were still pouring down from the sky.
