I Became the Monster’s Bride

rgel instead.
After he lowered his hand that was lightly holding onto her shoulder, he gestured forward with his chin.

A ray of light was leaking just from the inside of the door.
It was light that looked like the sun, which resembled his golden pair of eyes.

She inadvertently stepped forward as if she was being possessed by the light itself.
Then, she naturally went inside the tomb with his assistance as well.

“It’s cold.”

As soon as Roelin entered the tomb, she trembled before she soon stopped walking.
She got goosebumps due to the cold that permeated from the inside of the tomb itself.
She thought that perhaps it had been an old tomb, she even felt some kind of a chilling sensation too.

At that moment, something bulky was draped over her shoulder.
She was surprised and immediately tried to take off whatever was wrapping around her shoulder.

“Just put it on.”

Only then did Roelin realize that it was Kergel’s cloak that was already around her shoulders.

Then, her body began to tremble in a different sense altogether.
However, Kergel briefly clicked his tongue and opened his mouth as he wondered if Roelin was still feeling cold.

“The ceremony will be over soon.”

“…Ah, yes.”

Roelin hesitated for a moment before she nodded and gave her reply.
Kergel then took the lead while they walked.
Thanks to this, she was able to avoid being caught by him with that red face of hers.

‘I must be crazy.’

She lightly tapped her hot cheeks with her hands.
As soon as he realized that she was wearing Kergel’s cloak, her face turned immensely bright.

It might have been due to her being embarrassed, but it could also have been because of his body temperature transfer that was left on that cape itself.
But no, it was just her mere illusion.

His body temperature couldn’t have remained so vividly imbued all over the cape until now.

“This way.”

Roelin eventually got lost in thoughts and she had only come back to her senses when she heard his voice.
Kergel was already standing a couple of steps ahead while reaching out for her.

Before she knew it, she had already passed a long passage before reaching the front of the stone chamber.
She eventually hurried up to him.
Then, Kergel took Roelin’s hand and began walking into the stone chamber.

“Wow…”

Roelin held his hand slightly before she stopped advancing into the stone chamber and exclaimed.
The flames that lit the inside of the stone chamber were an added touch to God’s ‘lonely atmosphere’.

“This is the tomb where Cainbert, the founder of the Empire, is asleep.”

She looked around the inside of the stone chamber while listening to him.
When she entered the stone chamber, she could not think of it as a tomb.
It felt more like she was just in an old historical site instead.
