I finished speaking to them and raised the greatsword in my hand into the air.
I arrived properly at the time of the game.
Thanks to Dominic's movement magic, I was able to arrive on time.
"Let's start now."
Finally, Dominic began to be summoned from within the sword.
It's hot!
The hilt of the sword was so hot that it quickly blistered on my hand. After holding on for a few seconds, enduring the sword's boiling heat, Dominic began to materialize outside the sword. It didn't take long for his silhouette, which was as blurry as smoke, to turn into a perfect human being.
Dominic brushed his hair off nicely. He looked around and sent me a message.
'How was it? Was I absolutely cool?'
"He, that person is an adulterer, isn't he?"
"What on earth…?"
At the same time, the guests began to murmur. Even foreign languages were heard through the gaps in the Imperial language. Everyone seemed to have seen a portrait of Dominic in the tabloid.
"…Sister." Sheria's voice trembled slightly.
"Yes, Sheria." Since the once-in-a-lifetime precious engagement ceremony was ruined, she must have wanted to pretend to be a victim.
"This is a sacred engagement ceremony. No matter how much my sister is… No matter how angry you are with me, I want you to be at least polite."
I smiled gently at Sheria. "You are the one who needs to be polite."
Then, as if she didn't understand what I meant, Sheria's face was stained with confusion. "What do you mean by that?"
"I'm here to correct your lies." I blurted out for a moment, then continued in an exaggerated tone like a theater actor. "You lied that you had the heroic sword Dominicus, or rather, Dominic's blood-relative, the Holy Sword."
I heard the sound of people gasping for breath in astonishment. Among them, the courageous Count Morelli jumped up and spoke.
"No way… Is this article real?"
I looked at the video clip in his hand. I saw a breaking news that a reporter from the Imperial Palace Daily had hastily typed. It was an article about me having a hero sword, Dominic. I nodded in satisfaction.
"That's right."
"Oh my God…" The sound of people shouting grew louder and louder.
"Sister, what on earth are you talking about… No, more than that." Sheria looked at me with a puzzled face. "If the holy sword is a lie, how do you know that the sword your sister is putting forward is Dominicus? Don't lie, sister! Everyone knows that he and his sister are having an affair!"
"Yes, that's right. Isn't that the man who had an affair with you?"
I smiled softly at Sheria's trembling eyes and Lennox's pale face. "Actually, I waited for that." If I hadn't said that, I would have been embarrassed. "If you don't believe me, I'll show you."
Dominic standing next to me smiled cynically. "Human. Do you know why Dominic, the hero who saved the empire, became famous?" He snapped his fingers lightly, and the splendid wedding arch in the banquet hall turned to dust and shattered. "Because every battlefield I went to, I turned everything into dust."
Dominic, who turned the wedding cake into dust, lightly eliminated the officiant's podium altogether. Dominic smiled as he looked at the things that had disappeared into dust. At this moment, the video was perfectly illuminating us. This situation was probably being broadcast live in squares throughout the empire.
Dominic, who must have known about this, quickly began to explain. "Listen carefully. Far from having an affair, Dominic, the hero who saved me, the empire, was a pure body for a thousand years."
As Dominic took one step at a time, Sheria and Lennox backed away from his anger.
"But it is not enough to sell the relationship between me and my divine contractor…" Dominic's black hair fluttered in the breeze. People were instinctively fascinated by this scenery. "I'm going to arrange for my fake blood relatives. Did you say it's a holy sword? I've never had that as a blood relative."
At Dominic's words, the atmosphere froze. Soon after, the sword containing his aura was drawn from top to bottom. The fiery aura that Dominic created from his sword quickly shot towards Lennox. Lennox, who belatedly noticed the attack, raised a knife at his waist and hurriedly blocked the aura. He seemed to be strained at his wrist because he had bounced off it in a hurry, and he frowned and groaned.
"Great…"
Right now, it would feel like only his wrist hurt. However, the pain would probably be transmitted to his stomach. Because that's how Dominic designed it.
Seeing him moan, I started talking again. Dominic, who punished Lennox at this moment, was the most perfect swordsman than anyone else.
"It is rumored that he has reached the level of a sword master, and it is an attack that His Excellency, Duke of Lennox Hesmann, cannot completely stop."
I looked around at the nobles around me like a nail and spoke again. "Isn't this enough evidence?"
Dominic grinned and came back to me, clinging to me. Like a cunning cat.
'After all, you did a good job of signing a contract with me, right?'
"Yes." I grinned inwardly. Our Dominic is the best!
While everyone was astonished by Dominic's identity, they heard someone slowly walking behind their backs. Soon, a languid, cold voice rang in my ears. It was the appearance of Isaac.
"Mel, and Dominic. I dared to bring a holy sword that pretended to be Dominicus' blood relative." It was the fake that Sheria and the Duke of Hesmann claimed to contain Dominic's blood relatives. He grabbed my shoulders tightly from behind and whispered in my ear. "I cast a speaker spell and made sure that the video orb never turned off."
While I was being knighted, Isaac cast a spell everywhere, just as we had agreed to say yesterday.
'They used video magic. So I'm going to put to sleep all the wizards that operate the video and make errors in the video sphere.''Is it an error?''I'm going to make them unable to turn off the video even if they want to.''So that all the people in the square can see the two of them being humiliated until the end, right?'
I grinned and stared inside the engagement hall. Square-shaped video spheres were installed all over the wall. It was truly a perfect stage. I felt like the colorful lights were enveloping me. Even the nobles in the empire, foreign envoys, and priests who attended this meeting were paying attention to me.
"Is it a thief? How dare you steal the Holy Sword."
"It's not a thief, Your Excellency." My voice rumbled, and Lennox looked embarrassed. I didn't dare to come up to me, and I coldly scolded Lennox, who had blood on his forehead as he screamed. "They didn't want to deceive me and commit adultery, so they brought a fake sword pretending to be a blood relative of Dominicus and deceived the heroes of the Empire."
I lifted the holy sword that Isaac had brought high into the sky. Sheria, who was particularly obsessed with the holy sword, opened her eyes wide. Clenched into fists, she trembled and shouted.
"Give me back my holy sword, sister. I warned you!"
"Holy sword? This is fake."
Lennox's face, which was obsessed with his own reputation, turned red at the thought that he had been disgraced. "Everyone, turn off the video right away! Right now!"
I approached them with a grin. "Well, listen, sir." Now all the commotion had subsided. Everyone must be paying attention to my voice. "Wouldn't it be faster for those adulterous men and women who dared to impersonate Dominicus' blood relatives and sell me and Dominicus' sacred covenant as adultery to be extinguished?"
I handed the holy sword to Dominic and laughed. And at that moment, the Holy Sword shattered into the air and disintegrated like dust. If this were a real holy sword, there would be no way it would be disintegrated. However, this sword was a fake that had been swapped.
Unaware of this, Sheria began to cry. "No! Ahhh! No…" Sheria screamed like a madwoman. But no one listened to her screams.
"Sheria, for now. You can't deal with that woman." Lennox hugged Sheria's waist and tried to leave like a grieving lover.
But you can't let him leave like a tragic lover. "Over there, an adulterous couple who dared to impersonate the hero's blood relatives is leaving." I relayed their appearance to people in a loud voice.
They may have dreamed of a beautiful engagement ceremony, but in the end, the engagement ceremony ended in ruin. Of course. Does it make sense to shamelessly hold an engagement ceremony on the subject of having an affair in the first place?
People who were observing our actions began to stick their tongues out behind their backs. Their staggering backs were sharply different from the past, when they were always confident. I grinned and recalled the past.
'Sheria and you seem to be in a romantic relationship.''Don't be annoying and sloppy.'
Those who always laughed at Meldenik were humiliated and left in disgrace.
"I bought the Hesmann and the top of Babyloa with confidence." As soon as I heard the chatter of people, I became even more satisfied.
"The holy sword is well sealed inside the sword."
'Good job.'
I grinned at Dominic's words. I don't know what the adulterous couples who have already left will think. My reputation had fallen to the bottom, but once I came to my senses, they would try to fight back against me. Because I still had money and titles.
But that's the same for me now. All my revenge is not completely over yet.
