Ending Maker Episode 447
SS #36 Regina Bayer (8)
Incarnation of the goddess.
Cordelia August Chase.
The earthly representative of Cordelia, the goddess of the sun, magic, love and beauty.
A great hero who protected the Pleiades during the Calamity War and the Foreign God War.
The authority of royalties was meaningless in front of her name.
Even if it were the Kingdom of Seilun and the Empire of Argon, which belong to the two continents.
The doors to the huge hall began to open, following the chorus of palace officials.
As the song ended and those who had been dancing stopped, everyone in the hall, without exception, focused their gaze on the door that was slowly opening.
Regina was the same.
She swallowed dryly without realizing it, feeling the heartbeat of excitement, desire, and anticipation beyond the hand placed on her chest.
‘300th Anniversary Ball.’
The event that took place over ten years ago, that has now become legendary.
Although it happened before she was born, Regina knew all about the events of the 300th Anniversary Ball.
It was a lifetime for Regina, but not so long ago for others, a dozen years ago, so many people attended or remembered it, and there were also many fairy tales and plays based on the theme of the 300th anniversary ball.
Even the Cordelia Church’s Bible had a whole chapter dedicated to describing in detail what happened on the day of the 300th anniversary ball, along with gorgeous illustrations, and how beautiful Cordelia was that day – the incarnation of the goddess.
‘The music stopped the moment Sister Cordelia entered.’
Cordelia’s beauty, overwhelming and even violent, made it so.
Not only the nobles who attended the ball, but also the musicians who played music and the servants who served.
No one could take their eyes off Cordelia, and no one could open their mouths to express their feelings.
Cordelia just smiled and walked on, and with that the wall of people parted to make a path.
Like everyone else, Uder, who had been staring at Cordelia half-absorbed, suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was his fiancée and lifelong companion, and he welcomed her with gratitude for that fact.
And then the dance between the two began.
A time of fantasy that was deeply engraved in the minds of all who attended the ball, even though it was held without music or accompaniment.
Regina clenched her fists and took a deep breath as she recalled each sentence written in the Bible.
And then, right after, I could clearly understand what people felt a dozen years ago.
There was light beyond the open door.
Incarnation of the goddess.
No, the goddess herself.
The sun came down to earth.
But he wasn’t alone.
Unlike a dozen years ago, the moon was with the sun.
Juder August Bayer.
Pope of the Cordelia Church.
He is the king of the sacred nation of Eudelia and also the world’s strongest swordsman – the one who has reached the horizon.
This time too, people were speechless.
It was so hard to even breathe properly.
A halo shone above Cordelia’s head, who was wearing a pure white dress that seemed so natural, as if she was not wearing anything, and had wings of light spread out.
A smile like the sun hung on her beautiful white face, nestled between her pink hair.
Uther, who was like the god of the night, escorted Cordelia.
The two walked silently to the center of the hall, and everyone else stepped back to make way for them as if they were supposed to do so.
And then the two began to dance.
This time again, without any music, but breathtakingly beautiful.
“This time, the main characters are those two people.”
The Queen of Lions, Daphne, who had regained her senses, said with a bitter smile.
The 300th anniversary celebration that marked her coming of age ceremony was like that, and this one, with her coronation, was like that too.
The main character was not Daphne herself, but the two people in front of her.
But I didn’t feel angry or resentful.
Because there were two people.
Before they were the guardian deities of the Pleiades, they were a fantasy couple who had saved the kingdom several times – Daphne herself and the lives of her loved ones.
As Daphne wiggled her fingers, Dion worked his magic, and the musicians, who had somehow managed to come to their senses despite their ecstasy, began to play music.
Regina watched the two dance with heated eyes, her cheeks flushed.
Even though they were dancing in front of over a thousand people, Uther and Cordelia paid no attention to their surroundings.
They just looked at each other and fell into their own world.
That made my heart beat even faster.
I felt like my legs would give out at any moment and I would collapse.
And then at some point.
Uther and Cordelia stood still.
The two looked at each other and naturally kissed.
Regina was literally breathtaking.
The orchestra’s performance, which had been continuing with difficulty, once again went out of sync and then ended in an abrupt break.
But this time, Uther and Cordelia didn’t care.
After a passionate kiss, the two looked around with smiles, and a small applause spread through the silence that seemed ready to burst at any moment.
It was the applause of two angels familiar to Uther and Cordelia.
Soon, the applause continued from Queen Daphne’s hand, and as people gradually came to their senses, they joined in, and in an instant, it became a cheer that seemed to shake the entire hall.
“Congratulations, Your Highness Daphne.”
“Congratulations.”
As the two people who had approached the stage spoke like that, King Daphne himself stood up from his seat and bowed to the two people.
“Thank you for coming.”
“It’s Daphne’s coronation. It’s only natural.”
King Daphne smiled softly at Cordelia’s smile, and at that moment, applause broke out again.
This was because it was almost as if the incarnation of the goddess had blessed the new king of the Kingdom of Seilun.
‘Sometimes I really can’t believe it.’
Those two are my older brother and sister.
Regina, who was still looking at the stage with a half-souled face, pinched her cheek to come to her senses and rolled her eyes again.
Because I saw Yuria, who had been standing over there, approaching Uder and Cordelia.
“Yuria!”
“mother!”
In an instant, her proud steps turned into a childish leap, and a bright smile spread across her charming face.
Cordelia smiled affectionately as she hugged Yuria tightly, who jumped up and hugged her, and Yuder carefully recorded the two of them on video.
It was likely to be the main topic of next month’s Bible.
Yuria, who was rubbing her cheek against Cordelia’s chest and being playful to her heart’s content, was then hugged by Yuder, and Yuder continued to whisper something to Yuria while stroking her head.
What are you talking about?
I’m also a younger sibling, so why can’t I just run over and join that group?
Regina, who had been thinking about several things at the same time, followed Yuria, who had turned around after hearing Yuder’s words.
And so it was with everyone in the hall who were focused on Uther and Cordelia, that in an instant, over a thousand pairs of eyes were focused on one place.
That concentrated place.
A group of people were standing there.
People who seem to have come from far away in the east.
A tall, sharp-looking man with a lovely, obviously lovable woman standing next to him.
Next to the two in black suits and pink dresses was a blonde woman in a red dress, who Regina somehow felt was a mix of Maia and Dahlia.
‘angel?’
Regina tilted her head without realizing it, and then looked at the group behind her.
Likewise, there are two men and a woman who seem to be from the East.
They had stiff smiles on their faces, as if they were extremely nervous, and in the case of the man, even his hands were shaking.
Who are they?
Why would the incarnation of the goddess and her companion be interested in them?
The questioning didn’t last long.
For the Goddess and her companion have set out, carrying with them the most noble child in the world.
Again everyone held their breath and looked at them.
The sharp-faced man smiled bitterly at Yuria, and the lovely woman standing next to him smiled as if she was about to melt.
For some reason, the blonde angel chuckled and looked back.
The distance was considerable, but Regina awakened the wild god’s blood and heightened her hearing.
It might have been a little rude, but I really wanted to hear what kind of conversation was going on.
“Yuria, I have a child I want to introduce to you.”
At Cordelia’s words, Yuria nodded with a proud yet alluring expression.
After patting Yuria’s head once, Yuder winked at the sharp-faced man, who snickered and turned around.
“Eugene.”
At the call of the lovely woman, the boy who had been hiding behind the blonde angel’s back appeared.
He was a boy who seemed to have come from the East.
Black hair and a muscular body, a face that makes you feel good just by looking at it – not just handsome, but a face that gives energy to those who look at it like the sun.
The boy, who looked to be in his early to mid teens, was extremely nervous, and his normally white cheeks were flushed red.
And for some reason, Yuria’s cheeks also turned slightly pink.
“Hello, my name is Yuria.”
“Yeah, I’m Eugene. Kang Eugene.”
At the boy’s awkward greeting, instead of smiling proudly as usual, Yuria smiled brightly, and the boy blushed even more at her smile, but smiled back at her with the same sunny smile.
And Regina could tell.
That’s the person Yuria was talking about.
Half of the destiny decided from birth.
‘The sun and the moon.’
The boy of the sun and the girl of the moon.
Yuria smiled and held out her hand, and Eugene took her hand stiffly.
“Let’s dance too. Do you know how to dance?”
“Yeah, I know. I learned it before I came.”
“Really? Then I’ll look forward to it.”
Yuria, who was smiling like a fox, took steps forward, guiding the boy, and the adults, including Yuder and Cordelia, each looked at the boy and girl’s backs with smiles of their own.
And back to Regina.
Regina looked around intently in the hall that had become busy again with the start of Yuria and the boy’s dance.
Because what Yuria said felt right, I thought that what she said would also come true.
“Aunt Regina? You haven’t had your first dance yet? So, do you want to dance with me?”
Aiden asked her to dance in a slightly nervous tone for some reason, but she declined, saying she was sorry.
Walter also offered her a dance with a warm smile, but she had no choice but to decline this time as well.
It seemed like Vivian was getting angry behind Walter’s back, saying something like, ‘How could you do that to our Walter~’, but it couldn’t be helped.
Regina looked into the distance with her eyes that had been green when she was young, but at some point had turned into a golden color like moonlight.
Yuria and the boy were having a conversation with happy faces.
Yuria smiled faintly in her pride, and the boy smiled bashfully yet coolly, his face and neck still red.
“Yuria, me?”
Regina muttered to herself, mixed with various emotions based on envy, and slumped her shoulders.
Before I knew it, it was time for the song for the last dance to start, but I still hadn’t met the person of my destiny.
‘Should I just dance with Aiden?’
No matter what, it was such a shame to go back without dancing even one song.
‘Still… … .’
Shouldn’t your first dance be with the person of your destiny?
But that was just then.
Regina flinched at the stabbing gaze she felt from behind her and turned around, then shrugged her shoulders once again at the sight of Luna standing against the wall, looking at her.
‘Miss! What are you doing!’
Isn’t that what he’s saying with his eyes?
“Oh, I see.”
Regina answered quietly, though it might not be audible, then took a deep breath and turned around.
It was a twist of fate and I had to dance the last dance.
‘Aiden? Walter? What about Gale?’
In fact, there were many other candidates as well.
It was a dance with none other than the youngest daughter of the Countess of Bayer.
There must have been hundreds of men in this hall who would rush to dance at any moment if Regina would only give her permission.
‘Okay, I just have to choose.’
Regina, who was forcibly excited as if imitating Adelia, quickly looked around.
And at some point, without realizing it, I looked at one place.
Is it a coincidence or fate?
Maybe it was just because he was such a huge man that everyone’s attention turned to him.
A giant stood on one side of the hall.
A red-haired man who, despite clearly being dressed in a suit, appears to be wearing armor made of steel.
Standing next to him was a very beautiful blonde woman in a white dress.
Two people who seem to have a size difference of several times, but are clearly lovers.
‘Heroes of Paragon!’
Iron Man Landius and Holy Angel Lena.
It was clear that there were two people.
Now that I looked, the two were surrounded by the swordsman Kamael, who was also Yuria’s teacher, the druid Fran, and the vampire lord Velkian.
And one more person.
A giant boy whose eyes met Regina’s own.
Judging from his appearance, he was a large boy who looked like he was already in his late teens.
Bright red hair and a smile reminiscent of the sun, but with a slightly different meaning than Cordelia.
And muscles as hard as a rock.
I couldn’t figure out why our eyes met.
Just a coincidence.
No, maybe it’s inevitable.
Regina blinked, and the boy suddenly nodded and strode forward.
The last song was about to start.
With a slow start to the intro, the boy arrived in front of Regina, and he lightly knelt down on one knee to get eye level with Regina.
As if a knight in a love story were standing before a beautiful princess.
“This is Elwin S Paragon.”
The boy who had taken Regina’s hand spoke with unwavering eyes, and Regina, whose face and neck were red, answered with a slightly trembling voice.
“Re, Regina Bayer.”
At Regina’s answer, the boy, Elwin, smiled gently and kissed the back of Regina’s hand.
Regina couldn’t say anything but just smiled at the natural movement, and the onlookers who had gathered before she knew it each showed different reactions.
Vivian is looking at her with her arms crossed, Aiden is very excited and about to shout something, and Ember is smiling and stopping Aiden.
And Yuria, standing far away, quietly nodding her head.
“May I ask you for the honor of joining us?”
“Father, please.”
Originally, she should have answered, “I will allow it,” but Regina, whose mind was heated, answered the same way, “Please.” Elwin laughed heartily, got up from his seat, and naturally guided Regina.
The last song has started.
But it wasn’t really the end.
A new encounter.
A new story.
Their story continues even after the perfect happy ending.
Regina felt the firmness and heat of Elwin’s large hand that was holding her waist, and looked up at Elwin with a tense face. She couldn’t help but laugh at Elwin’s face, which was looking down at her with a soft smile.
‘The man of destiny.’
Regina nodded.
He smiled brightly.

Two days after the ball.
The day before the National Foundation Day martial arts competition.
“Regina!”
“Mom! Dad!”
Regina was overjoyed and jumped for joy at the sudden appearance of Count Bayer and Countess of Bayer in the royal capital.
“Mom! Mom! I have something to tell you!”
“Really? Mom and Dad are like that too.”
Regina, who was about to tell Elwin’s story, blinked without realizing it at Countess Yuna’s words.
Something that absolutely must be said?
Dad and mom?
To me?
Regina tilted her head and looked back at Count Bayer with innocent eyes, and Count Bayer coughed in vain for some reason and looked away.
What on earth is going on?
Why is my father embarrassed?
“Regina.”
“Yes, Mom.”
“My younger sibling is going to be born.”
“Your younger brother?”
“Yeah, little brother.”
Yuna gently caressed her belly, and only then did Regina realize that Yuna’s belly was slightly swollen.
“Regina is going to be a big sister now.”
Sister.
Regina blinked, then a bright smile appeared on her face.
He jumped up once again and was held in the arms of Count Bayer and Yuna.
