As the chapter continues...
Selena (I only have one month left to stay by your side) After we defeat the monsters in Kanux, I will leave and return to my family's mansion.
Zilpher *releases Selena from his embrace* ...
Selena: Didn't I say I would stay here for only five months, and then I can leave, right?
Zilpher: Selena, we can—
Before Zilpher could finish his sentence, Selena abruptly interrupted him.
Selena: When I get home, I'll send the fruit from the tree of comfort in your kingdom through my messenger.
Zilpher: Sele—
Selena cut him off again...
Selena *bows her head* And I'll also send you the bottle containing my blood because don't you need to become immortal to achieve your unknown plans in life *bites her lip* because I'm said to be the key! *shouts*
Zilpher: .... *raises Selena's head* !!!!!!
Selena *crying* I-I will send you the papers that will complete our fake relationship!!!
Zilpher *kisses Selena's lips*
Afterwards...
Zilpher: Is this really what you want to happen, Selena?? *sad*
Selena: .....
Zilpher (It seems she can't wait for me anymore) Alright, after we defeat the monsters in Kanux, I will let you go *crying*
Selena *stops crying* !!!!
Then Zilpher left the room....
They didn't speak to each other for several days due to that incident.....
One day....
They were invited to Dorothy and Sandro's wedding at the De Rosa Church in Kanux, so they traveled, stayed, and checked into a hotel near the church.
The next day....
At the wedding.....
Selena sat at the back while Zilpher sat at the front.
Selena and Zilpher: ....
Then Gusano sat beside Selena while a beautiful and elegant woman with long black hair and eyes sat next to Zilpher. The wedding ceremony began....
As the wedding ceremony took place, Zilpher and the woman beside him were seen happily conversing.
Selena *looks at Zilpher and the woman next to him* (They look happy and suited for each other, but I don't know...) I want to pull both of them by the hair *whispers*
Gusano: What, Your Majesty? Are you saying something??
Selena: N-nothing!!!!
And the happy conversation between Zilpher and the woman with black hair continued....
Selena (I can't hear what they're talking about from here) *bites her lip* !!! (Wait, why am I irritated that Zilpher is talking to another woman?? Could it be...) Am I jealous?! *whispers*
Then she looked at the two people at the altar....
She heard the exchange of vows and words between the two at the altar.
Sandro: You've made me the happiest person in the world today because you agreed to share and recount every page of your life with me. I promise to cherish and respect you. I promise to take care of and protect you. I promise to make you happy and help you with everything. I promise to be with you in comfort and hardship until the end of time.
Dorothy: You have shown me that two people can become more powerful and content when they work together with respect, trust, and open communication. You are the strength I didn't know I needed and the joy I didn't know was missing from me. I've decided now that I want to live with you until we grow old.
Suddenly, Selena remembered the days and months they had spent happily together and chatting.
Then Selena saw Sandro gently and lovingly place the ring on Dorothy's finger, which reminded her of what Aunt Chana had recounted about Zilpher and what Zilpher had done for her [If you remember, Zilpher was always saving Selena's life from danger and always helping her with anything, even without being asked or begged for help].
Selena (Ah, why am I jealous? I've known for a long time that he wants me, but the question is why did my heart suddenly fill with joy when I remembered that Zilpher likes me).
The woman talking to Zilpher *looked at her watch* Ah, I have to leave, Zilpher *looks at Zilpher* because I have another meeting to attend today, and I might be late if I don't leave now.
Zilpher: Alright
The woman talking to Zilpher *leaves*
Selena *looks ahead* (Oh, she's gone now) Good then *whispers*
Then Sandro kissed Dorothy, reminding Selena of the kiss she shared with Zilpher when they were married.
Selena *smiles*
Then Selena realized something....
"At first, I was determined to find out Zilpher's secret to use it against him so that I could get everything I needed for the good of my country and to defeat all the monsters in the world. But when I decided to stay for five months, I began to experience different emotions, and gradually, I started to forget the mission and reason for coming to this country. I also found happiness talking to and being with the soldiers and other people in the palace, especially when I'm with Zilpher. Now my reason for wanting to know everything about Zilpher has changed. Most importantly, I know why I was jealous earlier when Zilpher was talking to another woman and why I cried so much in front of him that night. I don't want to admit it to myself, but... I fell into the trap prepared for me by Zilpher."
Selena *looks at Gusano* Gusano.....
Gusano *looks at the Queen* Why, Your Majesty?
Selena: I'm in love with your damn king *cries*
Gusano: !!!! *surprised*
And Sandro and Dorothy got married....
Everyone stood up and applauded, including Zilpher.
Zilpher *looks back* (Sel?!) !!!
He saw Selena crying and hugging Gusano while the two were talking.
