Why did he confess all this so proactively?

The two undead soldiers had no idea what Scathach was thinking. All they knew was Ian's powerful words just now.

Suddenly, extreme surprise spread among them.

“Oh my god—!”

"Our Queen is getting married!"

"Ahhhh! All the old women are getting married off, things are going to change in Shadow Kingdom!!!"

"Gae Bolg Alternative!"

As soon as the two undead soldiers finished speaking, they were stabbed to death on the spot by Scathach with two shots.

"So much nonsense! Reflect on your actions!"

"This……"

Looking at the two skeletons that had almost turned into powder, Ian didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Scathach, is this really okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with that." Scathach put away her Gae Bolg Alternative. "It's not like I really drove them out of the Shadow Kingdom."

"In about an hour, they'll be back to their original state."

"Ian, don't worry."

"……Fine."

Feeling that Scathach seemed to care very much about the issue of age, Ian didn't say anything more.

He didn't want to experience the feeling of being pierced by the Gae Bolg Alternative.

After the little farce at the gate of Dun Scáith, you carried Irisviel and followed Scathach into the depths of the castle.

This is the interior space that perfectly matches its exterior.

[The decoration alone can make people feel Scathach's private care. ]

[However, it seems that in order to adapt to the existence of the undead, you will find that many runes have been placed here.]

[That's the rune I've used before.]

【And Scathach also noticed your doubts. 】

"Curious why there are so many?"

Scathach, who was walking in front, asked.

"Yeah." Ian nodded. He was indeed a little confused about such an environment.

"Why is that?"

"To tell you the truth." Scathach looked at the runes on both sides of the corridor.

"My kingdom lies beyond the world—and the only way to reach it is through the Gate of Skye, a land overflowing with death."

"Logically speaking, the Shadow Kingdom should be very stable, right?"

"..."

Scathach's rhetorical tone made Ian realize that the situation seemed not that simple.

"Could it be that something has appeared that will destabilize the Shadow Kingdom?"

"I can't tell clearly."

Scathach's hand stopped on a rune beside the corridor.

"But in fact, not long ago - probably before I went to Fuyuki, the Shadow Kingdom had already experienced a considerable degree of instability."

"It seems like something is burning the barrier between it and the outside world."

"I couldn't just sit back and watch this happen, so I arranged for considerable reinforcements, hoping to maintain the existence of the Shadow Kingdom."

"Then it looks like you did it."

Ian looked around and saw that the undead soldiers were living quite well in Dún Scáith. They could be seen gathering together to discuss something everywhere.

If it weren't for the overly strong aura of death surrounding them, Ian felt that this was no different from an ordinary castle.

"maybe."

Scathach sighed.

"I just hope nothing serious happens."

"Of course not—even if there's any problem, I'll find a way to help you."

"..."

Although Scathach didn't say anything, she already felt warm in her heart.

"is it?"

"That's great."

"My room is in front." Scathach pointed to the most magnificent place in Dun Scáith. "Let's go in."

[Under the gaze of the undead soldiers, you carried Irisviel and followed Scathach into her room.]

You didn't stay here long, though.

If you're new here, you'll want to get to know Dun Scáith well, so you don't lose track of the place later.

【Scathach agreed with your actions.】

【But what you don't know is that a meeting will take place after you leave. 】

Inside Scathach's Queen's Chamber.

Looking at Irisviel who had not yet woken up, Scathach couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

After all, it was herself that had a lot to do with her becoming what she is now.

Although I know Irisviel is not dead, but still...

Just when Scathach was feeling sad for her friend, she suddenly heard these words.

"You can marry Ian now—Scathach, congratulations!"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Scathach immediately looked at Irisviel who was lying on the bed beside her.

I saw that the other person had opened his eyes. Although he still looked a little weak, at least it could be confirmed that he was fine.

"you're awake?"

"Yeah." Irisviel nodded, then looked at the surroundings with some confusion.

"here it is……"

"Dún Scáith, my castle."

“I see—” Irisviel laughed, “It’s truly a happy thing to be able to get married in such a magnificent castle.”

"..."

Hearing this, Scathach's expression was not so happy.

After a long silence, she slowly spoke:

"Irisviel."

"Do you... think I'm really suitable to marry Ian?"

"Why not?" Irisviel asked back.

"You happen to be a girl, and he happens to be a boy—isn't this a match made in heaven?"

"How can this be an excuse?!" Scathach was a little anxious.

"There are obviously many girls who are suitable for this—"

"So why can't it be you?" Irisviel interrupted Scathach's self-doubting words.

"I don't know Ian very well."

"But, he has a lot of girls around him. What does that have to do with you wanting to marry him?"

"Do you have to avoid everything they do? If so, do you even want to deny the fact that you're a girl?"

"Scathach, I think you need to learn this from Artoria."

"She never gives up any opportunity to get close to Ian."

"..."

Irisviel's words suddenly made Scathach wake up.

She realized that she seemed to have erected a thick wall before doing anything.

In this way——

Just by looking at it, I already have a feeling of giving up.

"Can I continue even though I've been rejected?" Scathach's tone was no longer as arrogant as before.

"Just because you've been rejected before doesn't mean you'll be rejected again."

"Scathach—"

Irisviel stretched out her hand and pointed at the ceiling above her head.

"Ian has now followed you back to Dún Scáith."

"Isn't this the best opportunity for you to show your charm?"

"..."

Hearing this, Scathach's pupils dilated slightly.

"Irisviel... I understand."

【This is a boudoir conversation that you are completely unaware of.】

【Since then, Scathach has become more proactive. 】

Not only did she tell you that she wanted to hold her wedding in Dún Scáith, she also said that she would give you a surprise on that day.

Although you felt that something was amiss, you still responded.

[After all, this is Scathach's intention, and I can't let her down no matter what.]

As the owner of Dún Scáith and the actual leader of the Kingdom of Shadows, Scathach's wedding was naturally sought after by all the undead.

Standing on the city wall, she held Ian's hand tightly, as if the man would run away from her at the next moment.

however--

This was just Scathach's pointless worry.

Because after she took the initiative to hold Ian's hand, he gave the most considerate response, which was to hold Scathach's hand in his own palm in return.

It was a warm and reassuring feeling.

With the support of this state, Scathach felt no pressure at all.

Soon, she returned to her former queenly demeanor, and then gracefully announced to all the undead who came here that Ian was the husband she had chosen.

"From now on, he is the king of the Shadow Kingdom."

After Scathach expressed her thoughts, she turned around, held Ian's face and kissed him.

The man also cooperated by hugging her waist, giving Scathach enough support.

It was a scene where you could tell at a glance that the two people were very much in love.

At least--

That's what the undead think.

The Land of the Dead is now experiencing its most lively moment.
