Chapter 408: Side Story 22 - An extremely peaceful wedding(?) (1)

“That's weird.”

Julian tilted his head. Dan must have been curious, as he asked after seeing Juilan's expression.

“What's wrong? What's going on?”

Dan, who was personally bringing dishes out for the guests, walked over to Julian.

“Is today's menu not to your liking?”

They were in Dan's steak restaurant. His butcher shop had expanded into a restaurant, with a chef, who was skilled of a hotel chef yet charged a reasonable price, in this peculiar yet beautifully decorated dining area.

Julian often came here after work because he could get homemade meals, and not just steaks, here.

Well, it was sad that he was always eating alone in this romantic restaurant that looked as if he should be here with his lover, but...

“Vice Captain-nim?”

"Ah, no. The food is fabulous as always. I just had a weird dream.”

“Hmm? Did you have a nightmare or something?”

He probably would have preferred to have a nightmare.

“It was just weird. I saw large carps in all colors of the rainbow going somewhere...”

Julian soon explained what he saw in his dreams. He would normally not care about things like dreams, but...

'There are dream-related artifacts as well.'

He was concerned that a mysterious artifact might pop up around there.

However, Dan suddenly started laughing after hearing Julian's story.

“That's a dream of conception.”

“What?”

“It's totally a dream of conception. I had a similar dream when my wife was pregnant with Soo-A.”

Julian's face immediately stiffened.

Dream of conception.

Julian didn't know much about it, but apparently it was a big deal in Asian countries.

But why?

Why did he of all people have such a dream?

Dan asked an anxious Julian the following.

“Vice Captain-nim, did you have a dream for your future wife?”

He was sure Dan was talking about Molly. Ju-Heon was trying to set him up to meet with his former fiancée, Molly.

But there was no way this dream of conception was for them.

Why?

'I've only met Molly one time so far!'

Ju-Heon had set them up. Ju-Heon offered to use the last Raven's Tears on Molly but Julian declined.

The reason he lost Molly ended up being the Monarch of Fraud's fault...but he considered it his fault in the end and decided that he would never rely on an artifact.

Well, that damn Captain bastard said he would play cupid so he had to grab Ju-Heon by the collar to stop him...

'Still, our first meeting was pretty decent.'

He knew that she would not remember the past, but she seemed oddly drawn to Julian.

Anyway, nothing had happened so he knew it wasn't a dream of conception for them. Dan looked anxious as he avoided eye contact.

It was to be expected.

“Umm, then maybe it...”

“Hmm?”

“Might be Nina and Jaeha......”

“What? What do you mean?”

Who else could Julian have a dream of conception for? [1] It didn't have to be them, but they were both healthy young people.

“Umm, maybe the two of them had an accident...”

The expression on Julian's face was quite the spectacle.

“Yoo Jaeha, where the hell are you?! Get out here right now!”

Jaeha, who was sleeping, squirmed around after suddenly hearing a person shouting. The shouting continued.

“I know that you are in there! Come out for a bit because I have something to ask!”

Jaeha's face soon turned pale. It really was Kongming's voice.

'What the hell? Why the hell is that bastard here?!'

He urgently tried to lock his room door.

He had to, since Nina was sleeping peacefully next to him...!

However...

Craaaaaaaaaaaaaackle!

“Ahhhhh!”

The door was ruthlessly destroyed by a thunderbolt. Julian then walked through the ashes of the room door.

An anxious Jaeha quickly covered Nina with the blankets and then shouted.

“Damn it, hey! What the hell are you doing, you damn bastard?!”

Julian's eyes opened wide after looking inside the room.

"What the hell am I doing?”

That was the question Julian wanted to ask Jaeha.

“First, how about you move that blanket aside?”

Jaeha started shaking at Julian's comment. He didn't mind moving the blanket, but this bastard was a siscon who already wanted to kill him.

'He'll try to kill me for being together with Nina.'

Well, it'd be more because they were bitter enemies than because he was a siscon, but anyway...

“I, it's just an artifact over here. There's nothing else.”

However, something squirmed out of the blanket as he said that.

It seemed to be Nina who looked almost naked!

Jaeha turned pale and screamed while fire was shooting out of Julian's eyes.

“You damn bastard, you put your hands on an unmarried maiden?!”

“Aaah! No! This is all just a misunderstanding! A big misunderstanding! This is just Nina's sleeping habit!”

'Sleeping habit my ass!'

“An expert scammer like you is saying a lie that even an elementary student wouldn't believe?!”

“Ahhhhhh!”

Bababang!

Jaeha could only scream as he was hit by a barrage of thunderbolts.

The room being destroyed wasn't a big issue, but he felt as if Julian really might murder him.

“Kongming, I'm telling the truth! It's not what you are thinking!”

“Like hell it's not!”

Julian's eyes were opened wide. He was trying his best not to be invested in the two of their business.

Ju-Heon had said something to him about it, and he believed that it wasn't his business since Nina was an adult.

He could only stab nails into a curse artifact every night chanting, 'break up soon.'

But it would be a different story if these two really had an accident!

“Be honest! Did you use protection or not?!”

“Cough, cough! W, what?!”

Jaeha truly was anxious. 'What the hell is this bastard asking?!'

There was a reason Julian was asking this question.

'Nina seemed tired lately. Is she okay?'

'She was even throwing up. Is she sick?'

'Nina, go get a kit from the pharmacy for a test. It should be easy to get.'

That was right. Julian had paid closer attention to Nina after having that dream of conception. But everything he heard were early signs of pregnancy!

How could he not be concerned?!

That was the reason Julian came to look for this son of a bitch.

It would be fastest to ask the culprit!

Jaeha shouted with tears in his eyes.

"Damn it, hey! I feel really wronged!”

“What?! Why the hell would you feel wronged?!”

“Of course I feel wronged! We've never even done it!”

Julian seemed shocked.

“W, what? But you guys have been dating...for like half a year already. I was sure that you of all people...”

“Shut up! We've only kissed. We couldn't...no, we haven't done it! What the hell man?!”

Julian let out a fake cough after seeing a sulking Jaeha.

He didn't know what was going on between them, but...

“Y, you're sure, right?”

“Yeah! I'm innocent. I haven't touched her at all! I am completely innocent!”

However...

Pow!

“Ugh!”

Jaeha was instantly kicked by Nina. Nina seemed a bit angry as she turned around.

Jaeha looked confused when he heard someone's voice.

“Idiot.”

June was clicking his tongue at him.

June was waving something in his hand.

Jaeha didn't know what it was, but he could see that it was pink.

“Nina had this on her.”

Jaeha had a mental breakdown after seeing it.

This was what they called a pregnancy test.

“No, wait...why do you have that?!”

"Why else? Did you forget that I am in charge of cleaning the palace? I saw it while emptying the trash can.”

However, that was not the problem right now. The two lines that were clearly visible on the test......wait? Two lines?!

“Pregnant?!”

Jaeha turned pale and opened and closed his mouth a few times without being able to say anything. Julian glared at Jaeha.

Based on Nina's reaction just now and this...

"What the hell is going on? I thought you said you haven't done it yet!”

“W, wait, then that wasn't a dream...”

Murderous laser beams shot out of Julian's eyes in an instant.

“What? The Pushover caused an accident?”

Ju-Heon seemed quite amused as he was getting ready to go to the wedding venue.

Today was Ju-Heon's wedding day that everybody had been looking forward to for so long.

The ceremony was scheduled for 2pm. Ju-Heon's wedding was receiving more attention than any other celebrity wedding.

Ju-Heon, who had been getting ready since this morning, had his tuxedo on and was combing his hair.

That was when he heard Jaeha's news.

“Maybe we should let them get married instead of us. Is she okay? How far along is she? Is the baby going to be born before they get married?”

“Hey! This is not the time for jokes!”

Julian pounded his chest in frustration.

But at that moment...

“Hyung-nim! Please don't worry!”

Jaeha, who was also dressed up and tried his best to look stylish, was kowtowing in front of Julian.

“I, I will take care of Nina!

So, h, hyung-nim, please don't worry...!”

Fires were shooting out of Julian's eyes again.

“Who is your hyung-nim?! Get out here right now!”

“Ahhhhhh!”

“Listen carefully. I'm holding myself back because you are the MC for the Captain's wedding today! So get the fuck out right now! Get out before I kill you!”

He couldn't turn Jaeha into roast meat right now, so he summoned Haetae.

“Aaaaaaaaaak! Save me!”

Haetae grabbed Jaeha and threw him out the balcony.

"Aaaaaaaaaaah!”

They then heard a loud splash. He must have fallen into the lake outside.

But Julian was still huffing.

“Man, why the hell does this bastard have to get on my nerves so much?!”

Ju-Heon started laughing.

“Don't be like that. Should I pass the baton to the pushover instead? I can be the MC.”

“Shut the hell up!”

It wouldn't be weird if this son of a bitch really passed his wedding off and turned it into Jaeha's wedding instead.

He would do anything for his entertainment.

“Anyway, don't try to help him.

That's cheating.”

“Why do you hate it so much? It's not like it was a random stranger.”

“That is the problem!”

The problem was that Julian knew Jaeha too well.

'We were bitter enemies from the first time he joined the team.'

That bastard was the third member to join. However, Jaeha originally had no plans to join the tomb raiding team.

'Ah, it's so shabby. I don't know why a super elite like me needs to go into such a shitty team.'

That bastard brushed Ju-Heon's team off and escaped out of the country. Julian played a big role in bringing the bastard back.

How?

'What? You were scammed while getting a used item?'

'Yes, in an internet auction.'

'H, how much were you scammed?'

Julian had been grinding his teeth as he opened up his palm. The team members had been shocked.

'Holy shit. 300,000 won?'

'No.'

'Then 3 million won?!'

'No. 30,000 won.'

'I should sue him in the small claims court.'

'Hey, it'll cost you more to hire a lawyer for that.'

'Just pretend like you stepped on shit and...'

Julian had laughed angrily after hearing that. He had respectfully contacted the culprit and received a barrage of 'Fuck yous.'

'Who do you think you are talking to? I don't care if it takes all of my time.'

In the end, the petty scammer, Jaeha, ended up completely emptied out for scamming a lawyer of all people.

He had his accounts frozen, accounts he opened in other people's names were also frozen, and he had no choice but to come and beg for forgiveness.

That was when they realized that the scammer was Jaeha, and the conditions of unfreezing all of his assets was to join the tomb raiding team.

'This vicious bastard. You just wait and see.'

After such a start, it was no wonder they had such hatred for each other.

"Best honest. You wouldn't want that son of a bitch as Ju-Won's husband.”

“That's why I'm telling you to take him.”

'This son of a bitch!'

“Well, it looks like a dream of conception for a girl, so I'll just buy a bunch of dolls to give to my little niece. Hahaha!”

“Hey!”

But at that moment...

"That's weird. I don't think it is Nina and Jaeha oppa.”

“What?”

Ju-Heon's twin sister, Joy, walked toward them. She looked so beautiful after dressing up for the occasion.

“Are you sure that dream of conception was really for Nina?”

Did she know something? Everybody scoffed at her question.

"Who else would Julian have such a dream for?”

“Hmm.”

Joy looked toward Ju-Heon instead of responding.

“What is it? Why the hell are you looking at me like that?”

“No. It's nothing. By the way, oppa... Where's the bride?”

“I'm not sure. Ilya went to get her. They're a bit late.”

Ju-Heon looked toward the clock.

Around that same time...

"Fuck, we're late!”

Ilya was on a devil with Dan, urgently rushing to pick up the bride.

Today was the Majesty's wedding, an event that was the focus of the entire world.

The security was even tighter than usual because this wedding would give birth to the partner who would protect the Majesty.

The reason Ilya and Dan were going to pick up the bride was for any potential unexpected attacks.

Ju-Heon was planning on personally going to escort his bride, but the team members had asked him to leave it to them.

It was at that moment.

"Ah, over there!”

They found a beautiful bride in a dress and quickly flew down.

But as they did that...

“Huh?”

They couldn't help but be shocked after seeing the face of the woman.

Ilya was especially shocked.

"Galina?!”

1. These dreams of conception called Taemong can be had by people close to the couple. So, grandparents, or siblings of the couple who will have the baby can have the taemong as well, not just the parents to be. I had a taemong before Baby Rifle was born...although my dream said I was going to have a baby girl... Maybe it was an extremely far off taemong for Princess Rifle...hahaha
