Chapter 728 - 728 The mother of souls
728 The mother of souls
“I am not doing this because I want to.” She said, causing the priest to believe she was being forced to marry.
“And?” Vincent questioned while holding himself from releasing a chuckle.
“I want to see if you are a liar or not. I want to see if you are a human of your words and if you will take responsibility for what you did to me.” Jun Ye Rim continued, causing the priest to glance at Karta and believe he should not wed them.
Vincent nodded. “Apart from our little accident, I saved your life and told you I would take responsibility for everything. But...”
After a short pause, Vincent leaned his head and said, “I didn’t think you would accept becoming my Mirey so soon. Regardless, I am glad you made up your mind. Now I can’t wait to unveil your charming face and kiss those lips.”
Jun Ye Rim was flustered, and the thin white veil covering her face could not hide her bright blushing cheeks. Even her ears became red for all to see.
“You can proceed with the wedding.”
“Y-yes, Duchess Karta Milloween...” The priest responded nervously. At this moment in time, he desperately wanted to complete the wedding and leave as quickly as possible. This situation was driving him crazy.
“With the eyes of the holy godly dragons watching over the binding of the couple standing before me, I, the priest representing the holy godly dragons, will now begin the matrimonial binding.”
.....
The priest looked at Vincent. “Will you, Vincent Lionheart, accept to start the procedure of the matrimonial binding with the eyes of the holy godly dragons witnessing this sacred moment?”
“Yes.”
The priest looked at Jun Ye Rim next. “Will you, Jun Ye Rim...” The priest stopped talking all of a sudden.
The priest cleared his throat and continued, “Will you, Mirey, accept to start the procedure of the matrimonial binding with the eyes of the holy godly dragons witnessing this sacred moment?”
“Y-yes.”
Vincent and Kazumi became astonished Jun Ye Rim had accepted to be called Mirey. Not to mention requesting her name to be changed. However, when Kazumi looked around them, no one appeared to be surprised, as if they already knew.
Vincent slightly leaned his head and whispered, “Are you sure you do not mind having your name always called in reverse?”
Jun Ye Rim, or now the elf identifying as Mirey, nodded. Her ears became slightly brighter, as if she became more embarrassed than before.
“Ahem.” The priest cleared his throat to stop Vincent from speaking. On his face was a frown, yet he needed to wed the two before him no matter how he felt.
The priest quickly continued, and soon came the moment to exchange the rings. Mirey quickly placed a ring on one of Vincent’s fingers. However, it was a different story when it arrived to Mirey wearing the ring.
“Are you nervous?” Vincent teased.
“Humph! No, I am not!” She exclaimed with a nervous voice.
Vincent grabbed Mirey’s nervously shaking hand, and with a reassuring smile on his face, Vincent placed the ring on her finger.
“While the holy godly dragons witness the last step of the bonding, the husband and the bride may connect and forever be connected.” The priest said.
Vincent gently lifted the veil and uncovered the face of a nervous blushing elf. It made Vincent and Kazumi wonder if Iris was less shy than the current Mirey.
[Be ready, Jun Ye Rim... I mean Mirey. It is time for a public smooch.] Kazumi teased.
“Nod when you are ready to do it.” Vincent reassuringly said.
Mirey was surprised when Vincent gave her time to collect herself before kissing. She revealed a charming after feeling appreciated and nodded.
“It will be over quickly, but please forgive me for hurting you again. The pain will be brief.” Vincent told Mirey before he kissed her to seal the deal.
Mirey was startled. She was not told that a quick kiss on the lips was going to hurt.
Mirey felt strange as a pair of warm lips touched hers. She felt as if time had stopped. Later she felt as if it was becoming night and all around her was becoming dark.
Mirey believed Vincent had done something to her, and she was in the process of fainting. Her eyes closed shut. The next time they opened, she saw complete darkness.
“Lower your head. We are in front of you.”
Mirey lowered her head. She saw Vincent, Kazumi, Wolfie, Freerie, Bright, Helle, and Watz. She saw the emerald throne up on a small hill and an emerald chest not too far from it.
Blemish joyfully circled her. Mirey quickly understood she was in a Soul Domain.
“Mirey. I have brought you here to ask an important question. Please answer honestly instead of a roundabout way.”
*Gulp* “Didn’t you already lay claim to my body? What more do you want from me?”
[Do you have the thought of becoming Vincent’s retainer? Being a wife is one thing, but ultimately sharing the secret of Vincent being from another world is on a different scale.]
Mirey crossed her arms. “Is this how you will take responsibility? You will make me feel afraid to walk the streets alone?”
“I am sorry, Mirey. What you say is, in a way, undeniably true.” Vincent approached Mirey and grabbed her hands. “However, I will do my very best to keep you safe.”
Mirey nerviosly averted her gaze. “I spent days trying to decide on giving, becoming your wife, and having a home where I am not treated like a walking disappointment. I need time to think.”
Kazumi floated in front of Mirey’s face. [Vincent has already used the skill to make you his retainer by using his precious power...]
“What!” Mirey shoved Vincent and retreated a few steps. “Why are you forcing me to decide? I need time to think.”
“I am sorry, Mirey, for acting without telling you, but I wanted to make you my retainer and experience rebirth.” Vincent apologetically explained.
“Rebirth? I think I heard your women mention that word.”
[Long story short, all your injuries will recover, and all your afflictions with disappear. Any missing limb will regrow as well.]
“As you heard Kazumi explain. I wanted to heal the arm I broke completely. I could request princess Anna to spare a great healer, but I want to be the one to cure your arm.”
*Sigh* “Being with you is always unique.” Mirey gently shook her head. “Fine. Being a retainer or not, I will still be in danger either way. At least I will live with a healed arm before I get killed.”
Vincent lowered to one knee and extended his hand. “I will do my best to let you live a good life. I will not betray you nor do what you do not wish to do. All I ask is to trust in me. To trust that I will do my best to protect you.”
*Gulp* “Humph! It is not like I care what you will do to me since you are a womanizer who made me to...” Mirey stopped talking and crossed her arms.
[Made you fall for him?] Kazumi slyly continued Mirey’s sentence.
Mirey blushed brightly. She rushed in front of Vincent and placed her hand on his. “Do what you wish. It is not like I have the power to fight back. I am useless and...”
“No, you are not.” Vincent interrupted while gently shaking his head. “Your memory to remember the names and faces is incredible. Furthermore, your class can grow after you become my retainer. You might not feel useless anymore.”
*Gulp* “Fine. My body is already yours.” Mirey opened her arms and hugged Vincent. “Now, my soul will be yours too.”

“Argh! My finger hurts! It feels as if my pinky is being boiled.” Mirey grunted while her body shone green, and Vincent held her firmly.
“It is all going to be okay. The pain will end shortly because the Soul Bridge is ending.” Vincent reassured.
[Remember to tell everyone you experienced a second awakening and that...]
The darkness faded, and green light took over. Vincent opened his eyes and saw Mirey floating a couple of inches from the ground.
All eyes were on the glowing Mirey. Those who knew the reason smiled, while those who did not know what was happening to Mirey became shocked and confused.
Vincent focused his gaze on Mirey and brought up her status window. His eyes couldn’t stare at the details of Mirey’s new class.
