Chapter 1
Why does my luck suck?
“Will you take Count Hyde to be your husband, Rurutia Brucke?”
Ha…
The new bride, Rurutia, breathed out a long sigh instead of answering .
Now that I am in my right mind, I cannot welcome this Hyde Bag as my husband .
Aside from being 30 years older, Hyde was going to be a very troubled marriage partner .
In less than a year, Rurutia was going to tell him that she was going to die young and was therefore unable to bear him any children and he would return that kindness by poisoning her .
God is so indifferent .
I thought I’d get out of my father’s house and away from his violence, but this time I’m going to run straight into the arms of a murderer .
“Rurutia Brucke . ”
She was getting so upset that the moment the priest asked her to step on the platform, her next impulse was to scream . But she suppressed the urge .
She couldn’t help it as long as she was in the middle of the wedding – her own wedding, in fact . She had no choice but to get married and think about the future .
“I…”
Rurutia, who raised her head for the oath, was suddenly rendered mute .
There in front of her was a perfect statue . She was momentarily speechless . The statue was so beautiful, it could only be from the temple .
She studied the statue . It had neatly arranged thin hair and clear violet eyes like amethyst . It was a statue of strength, even though it was dressed in a priestly suit, a symbol of abstinence .
“Say it . ”
What the hell am I supposed to say?
I’m speechless because I lost my place being mesmerized by the stature of the priest?
“Can’t you hear me?”
The statue moved its lips, freeing Rurutia from her fixation .
More and more, it was gaining the likeness of a human being .
Who is this beautiful statue?
The High Priest was supposed to officiate for the wedding, but before he started, he was told that he would be replaced by another priest .
The clergyman’s age was a mystery . But the more she looked, the more he looked like a low priest who had just finished his training as if he were in his early twenties at the most .
Mmm…
Come to think of it, this seemed like an opportunity to overturn the wedding .
At least the wedding with Count Hyde, who is scheduled to poison her, would finally end .
“Is there anything like swearing in someone who likes priests?”

The priest on the platform frowned slightly . “You mean me?”
“Yes . ”
The celibate priest who served only God could not be in any sexual relationship for the entirety of his life .
Her question was very rude .
Instead of answering, the priest lowered his gaze . His eyebrows trembled .
“I don’t like your line of questioning . ”
“……………… . ”
“Thank goodness . Please call off the wedding . Arrange as much as you want for the alimony . ”
It was not an idle remark .
If Hyde’s father was someone who valued the honor of his family, he would pay compensation to dispel the commotion .
Rurutia, who was about to throw a bouquet for her wedding, stole a kiss from the priest’s lips, ignoring her husband-to-be all the while .
She thought his lips would be as cool as marble, but they were warm and fluffy .
It was a short kiss, but she could feel a variety of emotions afterwards .
With her lips removed, she grinned at the priest . Her look meant ‘don’t worry’ and ‘just trust me . ’
Even though my lips are taken away, I’ll be going back to my hometown with a lot of money, she thought to herself .

After the spectacle happened, the priest staggered back and forth unsteadily, as if his intentions had not been conveyed .
At one point, the quiet spectators scrambled to pray, scream, and whistle, going on to make all kinds of noise .
In between, Count Hyde shouted, “Madame, what the hell is this! I didn’t even kiss the Countess, and you’re a wife . ”
“You’ve decided to marry me, but you’re not going to be married anytime soon! Unfortunately, I gave the priest a kiss of the oath . Marriage between us has been canceled . ”
The excited Servant’s face blushed . I’d like him to be there for me for when I can’t hold my own and fall down . Through thick and thin . The last thought brought a smile to her face .
“How dare you humiliate me!” Count Hyde raised his hand high .
It’s easy enough if you put your mind to it, Rurutia thought to herself but decided to hold out .
If he had beaten the bride in front of a large crowd, pardon would have been easy .
She remembered that old man Hyde’s hands tasted sweet . I would rather have one hit and survive .
“Aah!”
Instead of screaming with friends and relatives, the old man screamed in pain alone .
It was because the Knights Seong, who had been placed near the podium, blocked the palm of Hyde’s hand with a gauntlet . Hinged against hard armor, Hyde’s hands swelled red .
“Stay back, Count Hyde . ”
That wasn’t the end .

All the paladins standing throughout the temple sprang up and stood in front of Rurutia .
They surrounded her as if they were trying to protect her .
Count Hyde, who was overwhelmed by the knight’s muscle on his arm, shouted, “What is this?!”
“That’s what we’d like to ask . ”
Sung Gi-sa, who was at the front of the gate for a long time, looked at the small Count Hyde .
“I can’t leave the woman who insulted me alone . Get out of the way!”
“What are you going to do?”
“Of course I’m going to hit her and make her listen!”
“Did the Count want to be taken to the basement of the Great Temple for blasphemy?”
Blasphemy is not the Rurutia who stole the lips of the clergy .
“Thank you for stopping Hyde, but I now understand what the crowd was murmuring about amongst themselves . Justice must be done . I am in your hands . ”
One of the paladins behind the innocent Rurutia approached the priest, who was hiding his lips with a trembling hand .
Ignoring her, he said to the priest, “Congratulations on your marriage, Sir!”
“Oh, excuse me? Are you the commander of the Holy Knights Division?”
