My Daddy Hides His Power Chapter 305 - Side story Part 2 Chapter 1

Warm weather, the fragrant scent of flowers.

 

Clear and blue sky with not a single cloud.

 

A truly beautiful spring day… 

 

I, Lilith Rubinstein, became a bride of May.

 

‘Whoo.’

 

The temple where the ceremony is held.

 

A magnificent pure white door.

 

Now, when this door opens, the man who will spend the rest of his life with me will be waiting inside.

 

‘I’m nervous.’

 

I looked to the left.

 

My always handsome and kind dad, Enoch Rubinstein, is smiling at me. 

 

“My princess, you’re the most beautiful in the world today.”

 

“Dad, you’re the most handsome in the world too.”

 

“You are joking.” 

 

…Let’s ignore the voice coming from the right for now.

 

Dad, our James, the protagonist of this world, Enoch Rubinstein, is by my side as always.

 

The man who stayed by my side through every moment—when I was born, when I grew up… through joy, sorrow, pain, and happiness. 

 

‘I have to marry a man like Dad.’

 

I’ve been vowing that since I was young.

 

…Of course, not everything in the world goes as you wish.

 

My husband is a man who’s different from Dad in many ways, but that’s okay.

 

‘Because they have three things in common!’

 

He loves me more than his own life, he’s handsome, and he has the strongest view of the world.

 

At this point, he’s the closest man to Dad.

 

“Lilith….”

 

“Dad….”

 

In that moment, filled with mixed emotions, Dad looked at me with a gentle gaze.

 

‘I shouldn’t cry.’ 

 

As my makeup wore off…

 

Overcome with emotion, I turned to the right to keep myself from crying.

 

“Oh, surprise.” 

 

“Lord of the Wizard Tower, it’s a good day—try to loosen up that expression a bit.”

 

Just as expected, the moment I saw Oscar’s ridiculous expression, my tears instantly dried up. Not even someone chewing on crap would make a face like that.

 

I quickly put my face close and whispered.

 

“Master, you’re not seriously going to keep that expression even after the doors open… right?”

 

“Be quiet.”

 

“Do you know how many painters are in there right now? Are you going to be stuffed with a shit-eating expression on your beloved disciple’s wedding day?”

 

“I said be quiet.”

 

The Master was upset.

 

Why, do you still dislike my marriage?

 

That’s not true.

 

A bold move to secretly set a wedding date for Oscar. In fact, that atrocity ended with a slight eardrum injury after a few days of scuffles and nagging like a bomb.

 

The day I informed Oscar of the wedding date, I suddenly recalled that tarot reading I had casually gotten for fun.

 

We drew the “Club” (caster: Oscar) and the “Suffering Woman” (target: me) cards, so I was mentally prepared to take a few hits from Oscar…

 

‘But as expected, that fortune-teller lady was a fraud, wasn’t she?’

 

Anyway, we prepared for the wedding relatively gently.

 

But.

 

“Are you crazy?! There are so many wide and beautiful places in this country—why?! Why on earth are you going to some remote area for your honeymoon?!”

 

That’s right. Just three hours ago, my barely recovered eardrums were nearly ruined all over again.

 

The reason Oscar is making such a face right now is because I revealed our honeymoon destination 3 hours ago! 

 

Where is our honeymoon? Abroad!

 

It’s Estoni Island, a famous tourist spot in the Kingdom of Teneba, and the most popular honeymoon destination among the locals there.

 

For reference, it takes a five-hour boat ride southeast from the continent to get there.

 

“You picked a place like that just to run away from me, didn’t you?!”

 

“That’s ridiculous! What kind of misunderstanding is that, Master?!”

 

I shamelessly denied it as a misunderstanding, but the truth is—I really did choose that honeymoon destination to get away from Oscar.

 

Because our country, the Dukedom of Primera, is absolutely insane.

 

A prison without bars, with warp gates laid out everywhere, and the Lord of the Wizard Tower even has precise teleportation magic coordinates for each area!

 

Surely that won’t happen, right?

 

What if Oscar takes the coordinates and barges into our sweet honeymoon place?

 

‘No!’

 

Just imagining it is terrifying.

 

By the way, because I was accused of having a lover possessed from the Joseon Dynasty, even during the 4 years and 3 months of dating, I never did anything beyond a kiss.

 

That damn taboo was not only on Oscar, but on me too.

 

‘It was finally lifted today!’

 

So I absolutely can’t be interrupted.

 

All variables are blocked in advance.

 

No matter how much of a genius wizard Oscar is, he probably can’t just warp recklessly to a foreign island five hours away by ship from the continent.

 

It’s not even an island!

 

If he forcibly tries to set the coordinates and warp, he could easily end up falling into the sea by mistake!

 

‘Heh heh. There’s a reason I’m going all the way to that island. No one can ever disturb our honeymoon…’

 

As I was smiling at the thought, Oscar was looking at me in utter disgust.

 

“Your head’s so full of crap, I can tell exactly what you’re thinking just by looking at your face.”

 

“It’s not like that?” 

 

“Princess!”

 

At that moment, Dad called me urgently from the side.

 

The wedding hall door was opening…!

 

It was the bride’s turn to enter.

 

The pristine white interior of the temple ceremony hall, filled with a sense of reverence, unfolded before me.

 

The white wedding path.

 

The guest seats were filled on both sides.

 

Everyone is smiling and looking at me.

 

Thankfully, judging by the fact that no one looked surprised, it seemed Oscar had managed to wipe that ugly expression off his face. 

 

‘I’m getting married, I… .’

 

As the soft melody of the ceremonial band signaled the bride’s entrance, I took a step forward with a pounding heart.

 

I was overwhelmed.

 

Just as I had hoped.

 

With my beloved Dad and Oscar by my side, arms linked on either side, I walk toward the second act of my life, surrounded by the blessings of many.

 

I saw the familiar faces of the guests.

 

My friends. Jem, Rom, Gerard, my classmates from the 1026th Imperial Ability Training Center… .

 

My coworkers—Hans, the next Lord of the Wizard Tower; Erich, whom we saved from a time-travel incident; Robert, the aide who suffers under Oscar every day; and Karen, who still hasn’t managed to quit….

 

“Wow, the bride is the most beautiful!”

 

At that time.

 

From the front of the guest seats on the right, my beloved older brother, Leon Antrase, cheered loudly.

 

I could see Aunt, who was sitting next to him, slapping Leon’s arm in surprise.

 

My family of the Rubinsteins.

 

My still vigorous grandfather, my aunt and uncle, my beloved twin cousin brothers Leon and Theo, and Erika, Theo’s wife who became a married woman before me…

 

Butler Uncle Rem, and the veteran nannies Jun and Jetty sisters who had hidden their true identities…

 

The hidden protagonists of the revolution. Rico, the head of the guild <Red Hawk>, Uncle Billy, the action captain who resembles Ma X-seok, Uncle Joseph, the strategist… .

 

My father’s coworkers, the uncles of the Dos Knights. And… 

 

‘Father! Heuk.’

 

And now, no longer my uncle but as of today, my father-in-law, Axion Libre!

 

The benefactor who took care of my husband—feeding him, clothing him, raising him well—and sent him to me!

 

Axion sat on the wedding podium with his shining beauty today, and when our eyes met, he smiled brightly.

 

I held it in well, but tears came to my eyes when I saw Axion…

 

‘Heuph!’

 

It was only when I reached the end of the wedding aisle that I was finally able to look ahead with a trembling heart.

 

At the officiant’s podium stood Priest Zadkiel with pink hair, wearing an angelic smile.

 

And, and…

 

Looking back at me in front of him… .

 

My man. Cheshire.

 

‘Sniff.’

 

As expected of the protagonist. Even if you dressed him in rags, his signature looks and aura would still scream, “I’m the main character!”—but now that he’s all dressed up so much…

 

‘So—so dazzling!!!’

 

The humble eyes of an extra like me simply couldn’t withstand the radiance of his self-illuminating light.

 

Mwahaha. But the protagonist is now the husband of that extra.

 

The clown keeps rising.

 

I tried to lower the corners of my mouth, afraid that I might be stuffed with a bizarre expression by the painters.

 

“The bride, please stand with the groom.”

 

Priest Zadkiel said with a bright smile.

 

I glanced tenderly once at Dad and Oscar, then turned toward Cheshire…

 

“?”

 

What the—? My body won’t move.

 

Is this binding magic?

 

‘…Hmph. I didn’t see this coming’

 

As if they had made a promise, both Dad and Oscar refused to let go of my arms.

 

“Heuph!”

 

I tried again with strength.

 

Failure.

 

One more time.

 

“Heuph!”

 

This is impossible. I, who am weak, couldn’t overcome the strength of two men.

 

‘N, no. This looks…’

 

It felt just like… a criminal being dragged away!!!

 

I quickly glanced sideways at the guest seats.

 

There were flustered expressions. Some even chuckled quietly.

 

Next to the officiant’s chair.

 

The wedding painters sitting at a distance immediately began moving their brushes over their easels as they watched the bride being dragged away.

 

‘S, stop! Time!’

 

What on earth are they painting? If they keep going like this, it’s going to be a picture of someone being dragged away.

 

“D, Dad….” 

 

Not wanting to ruin the once-in-a-lifetime wedding, I looked back at Dad with a desperate expression.

 

Please let me go…
