nJellal and Anette after going through many things together, they finally held each other's hands walking into the church together, it was a simple wedding with friends and family but only Anette's family though.

n

"Are you nervous?

" Anette asked Jellal from the behind of the white veil she was wearing on her head, with her hair tied in a bun and some of them laid down to her waist with some hair extension. Her hand held the roses from Jellal's magic and the other one locked with Jellal's.

nJellal gave her a reassuring smile putting his other hand on hers to tell her everything will be alright as long as they're together. Lying beneath them was no longer two paths anymore, they will be husband and wife, the two paths will turn to one as they held each other's hands walking through all of it together.

nJellal pushed the church's door and walked together inside to the altar where the priest was waiting for both of them. Anette's older brothers were sobbing seeing their little sister and that was the same case for her parents.

nSome of their friends were also there including the emperor and the new marquess Brady.

nIt was Anette's ideal wedding ever since she came to the center empire, princess Athena everyone in her homeland once knew was dead. She was no longer a princess. High rank, nobility, and anything else were meaningless to her. Because she realized long and long ago when she first met the man in the white suit lifting her veil, she knew she did the right thing.

nShe couldn't control her tears as she stared into her most beloved person's eyes. She finally got her day when she stood in front of her true love at the church.

n

"Now the groom shall kill the bride.

" his lip was soft and warm, her eyes genuinely closed when his lip landed on hers. A tear of happiness came out as her heart was pounding, she also could hear Jellal's heartbeat loud and clear.

n

n

"Calm down, Jellal!!!

" Anette who was carried like a princess in Jellal's arm was flustered since they got off the carriage to their new home. He didn't wait for a second to carry her into the house. The stair was so high that night, Jellal couldn't wait anymore so he used his magic to make him in the bedroom quicker.

nJellal put Anette on the bed gently, her hair which was tied in the bun became loose and tangled all over the bedsheet filled with rose petals in the room full of candles.

n

"Let's make a baby tonight...

" Jellal was breathing intensely, even the posture when he was stripping his shirt on top of Anette almost made Anette faint. It was too hot in the room, Anette gulped staring at his firm white muscles.

nShe leaned back to the top of the bed, she heard a little crack. She felt a bit worried about the bed when seeing the beast in front of her approaching her slowly shirtless like that showing his firm chest and perfect abs.

n

"Do you even know how a baby is made?

" she changed the topic, she could feel her sweat all over her body. At least she wanted to take a shower before doing 'it'.

nBut Jellal couldn't wait for that much of a time, it was too long for him. He loosened his belt that held his pant. He threw it across the room, and then one thing after another till he was the only one naked.

n

"I'm just gonna put this in, right?

" Jellal who was always composed and innocent showed off an evil grin as he held onto his in front of Anette. Anette's eyes became wide seeing the unexpected sight, she gasped as it surpassed her expectation.

n

"I'm gonna take a shower real quick--

"

n

"Do you wanna do it in the bathroom?

"

n

"No, no, that's not what I meant!! I'm full of sweat right now.

"

n

"I don't mind though.

" he went on and picked up her hand and licked it with his tongue. It was very tickled. But that man really knew no bound, he was doing multitask. His hands were undressing Anette's one by one unzipped her dress then threw it on the floor.

nShe gave up at that point, lip against lip, just the newlywed pounding their flesh on the hot passionate night without a care in the world.

nHer arm wrapped around his neck as she bit her lip, it hurt but it felt good at the same time. Jellal hugged her with care as she was the most precious gem in the world.

nHe was gentle only at first when he leaned his face to her, he shoved his tongue in, although they did kissing, but it hit different when it was on top of the bed.

nThe cold wind hit slightly on Anette's bareback as she sat on top of Jellal who was shoving it in gently kissing her neck then traveled down everywhere of her body.

nHis calloused hands were rough but the way he caressed her body made her melt, her silky hair pressed slightly against that man's muscle making him erect by it.

n

"It hurt...

" she let out a cute groan even though she was hit by an arrow, bitten by a snake but a little make bite from Jellal made her hurt.

nHe then licked that place to make it better, her face was blushing red as she held onto Jellal's neck as he kept thrusting it without a spare of a second.

n

"It's hot. Mm~

" he kissed her lip while doing it while putting his hand on her waist.

nHe was so gentle at that moment for her as they were only testing.

nThe night went by real quick. They did it until dawn. Anette also lost count of how many rounds they did it and the bed broke a little, they moved to do it on the couch and chair and ended up falling asleep hugging each other on the floor.

n

"Good morning~teehee.

" Anette couldn't smile joyfully like the evil man beside her as she couldn't feel her lower side at all. Although she couldn't deny that Jellal was really good at it.

n

"...I'm going back to sleep.

"

n

"We're going on our honeymoon. Did you forget??

" she pulled his ear when hearing the man who caused her like that saying so innocent like that.

n

"I'm staying home...let's just wait until next week.

" even moving, she could feel the terrible pain in her back, she blushed remembering the position when she was on top of Jellal last night.

nShe pulled the blanket and covered her face completely. Jellal snickered and tickled her hugging her like a teddy bear.

n

"Let's buy a new bed. We're gonna need a bigger one though.

" she fell asleep again, Jellal put on the bathrobe and picked her up putting her on the bed gently.

nHe stroked her pink hair and stared at her adorable pouting face for a moment then walked downstairs to bring breakfast to her on the bed.

n

"I love you so much, Anette...thank you for coming into my life.

" he smiled warmly under the ray of sunlight that shone into their bedroom.

nBoth of them wished to spend the rest of their life together, holding each other's hands to their graves but at the end, one was sitting crying on the grave and the other one left.

nThere was no everlasting happiness, the couple who was showering with the happiness for two months after their wedding hasn't known a single thing yet.

nDuring the two months, Jellal with his high intelligence managed to open the business that was the best selling in the capital with Anette's new idea every day.

nAs the business opened, their fortune increased day by day as the customer came flooding in nonstop. Jellal was gladly doing the business with his wife, the business they started with their own money, and did it wholeheartedly.

nHe was glad his decision to leave the duchy and all the competition to the inheritance was right.

nThey earned the title of the baron within two months which broke the record among the noble, every woman even knowing Jellal was a married man always came in the shop to sneak a glance at his handsome face, and that was the same for Anette who looked so elegant with every men's eyes on her.

nWell, Jellal always flirted with Anette in front of them, so no one dared to come close to Anette. He was so possessive of her.

n

"Darling, rest a bit. I'll manage the shop.

"

n

"Alright, tell me when you're tired.

" Anette went back inside her room as she felt a little tired which was quite unusual for her, she kept feeling nauseous and couldn't eat all the food much. She also vomited from time to time too. She put on her hat and went to the hospital instead.

n

"Do you want me to come with you too??

"

n

"I'm fine, there will be a lot of people today since the northern empire came to our empire. One of us has to stay at the shop.

"

n

"Be careful out there.

"

n

"I'll buy you your favorite snack when I'm back.

" she waved her hand goodbye to Jellal to the hospital.

nArriving at the hospital, the nurse took her to the doctor immediately as they recognized her immediately, the famous businesswoman in the capital.

nThe doctor was also surprised to see such a big person there, they treated her like a VIP.

n

"So what's wrong with me, doctor?

"

nThe doctor smiled and then told Anette with a smile,

"You're pregnant, madame. Your baby is growing well and healthy. Conragulation, madame.

" she was crying with tears of happiness hearing that. She caressed her belly as there was a life in it, it was her child with Jellal.

nShe couldn't wait and tell Jellal the news. She thanked the doctor and went back hurriedly to the shop. But Jellal wasn't there. She asked the workers there and the bag of snacks dropped on the floor when she heard,

"His lord is going back to the duchy...his majesty came to the shop earlier.

"

nJust when they mentioned his majesty, Christopher walked into the shop and handed a letter to Anette. She gasped and tried to cover her mouth with both of her hands.

nIt was unbelievable and cruel. She was frightened by the friend she once knew in front of her and the audacity for him to order Jellal to do something like that.

n

"What does this mean...your majesty??

" she didn't call him his name as she was serious, Christopher took a deep breath and replied to her with his face full of guilt,

"It is what it is...madame. The church has dropped the new oracle. And it is a need for the sacrifice.

"

n

"...don't joke with me...someone must make it up...

"

n

"Do you think Jellal would believe this if it was made up?? I'm sorry...

" Anette gave the letter to the emperor and went back to her room wiping her tear along the way.

nThere wasn't any time for her to share the good news, she picked up the necklace and the sword then tied her hair in a ponytail ready to stand in the battle with her husband.

nEven her, his wife wasn't sure what decision will he make, what will he do. She had no single clue but in her heart, she wished for him the best...but a piece of her heart wanted him to choose her and this unborn child in her womb.

nThe oracle, 'Mortel, Mortel, the family with pride filled with thorns and beautiful roses, the rose turned pretty and also withered. The destiny will repeat, the curse shall rise again and the last one standing will make the best decision for the future of the Mortel.'

n

"Please, Jellal...please wait for me...

" the rain started pouring down, Anette tripped falling on the street in agony, but she got up to run to her husband. The sky became dark, the man with the sword walked inside the duchy where the head of it stood on top of many corpses. And the others were still gripping their swords to fight against the man who gave birth to them.

n

"Oh, Jellal?? Now you're interested in my position??

" Jellal's father instead of welcoming him home, walked to him licking his son's blood lingered on his sword as he walked down the corpse.

n

"Younger brother...let the winner be the head, shall we??

" the massacre began.

nNo time to be trembling, in the den of the monsters, one also needed to become a monster to deal with it. Heartless, cold, fierce, and cruel, all of it ran through the Mortel's vein.

nFather killed their son, son killed their mothers, and mother killed their servants to survive.

nSurvive. Jellal promised himself to survive to become the last one standing for her, for his wife waiting for him back at home. He had a home to return to now, whether crippled or blind, he must return alive...

n

"Everyone, kill Jellal first!!!! Uwahahaha.

"

n'Jellal, please survive...' -Anette.

nTo be continued....!
