If I had reincarnated as a human, I wonder how my life would have been. I am over 50 years old now, yet I have not seen even one human. I think it's probably for the best. Right now, I am living the good life. I have a maid serving me, and she said her name is Anna. A beautiful blonde with a slender body and, well, a flat chest. She is level 150 and has Swordsmanship level 8. Unlike other servants, her level is way too high to be a maid. Maybe she is protecting me in secret?
When I asked her to explain how skills work, since I had no information except for the basic things I learned from that run-down library or my parents, I learned there are skills inherited from parents, skills learned through practice, and unique skills. Maybe my [Catastrophic Hellfire] is a unique skill, which is why Elmacia was horrified.
I live in the Circle now, to be specific, at House Aceso. I also found out that Sebastian is from House Aceso and that the emblem belongs to them. The estate is so grand and every building is built with oak tree material. There are so many buildings, and the mansion I am living in is on the outskirts of the estate, near the main gate. Leona said we are going to leave after the wedding, and she will be back tomorrow. Tomorrow is our wedding day. I feel like a bride. That's embarrassing. Anyway, I don't care since I was running out of cash, so how can I be ashamed of free food? Leona is the eldest daughter of the Aceso family, so why is she not the family head? Why was she pretending to be a guy? Maybe she lost the succession battle. The other servants are giving me weird looks. Is it because I am the only dark elf in the mansion?
Today is our wedding day, and I thought I was going to be forced to wear a white dress since I am technically her bride, but luckily, she is the one who is going to wear the white dress. Many noble families attended the wedding, and you could see they were not satisfied. Some had disgusted looks, and you could tell they wanted to complain but kept quiet. I guess it must be because of two things. Firstly, the Aceso family's specialty is healing magic; they are the ones in charge of all the apothecaries in the country. Basically, you can say they are in charge of healthcare in the country. I do not think it's a good idea to piss off your doctor. Secondly, I suspect it has something to do with Elmacia. Maybe it's rare for her to attend this kind of event because they kept looking at her. She did not come alone; she came with Commander Zack, lieutenants, and elders of the Whiteheart family. The message is clear: the Whiteheart family fully supports this marriage. Sebastian next to me whispered and signaled to me to see the first elder from the council. Why do these people keep calling these beautiful ladies elders? Vivia also attended. My family was not present, but I did write them a letter to inform them of the current events, especially the marriage. As for the Aceso family, elders of the family attended, even the family head. She looks like Leona except she is shorter, but besides that, I can't tell the difference. They are both beautiful, with F-cup busts and long blonde hair. Apparently, her name is Leonie, Leona's twin sister. I don't think she likes me, though; she didn't even smile at me.

The wedding ceremony actually proceeded like the ones on Earth, except after the vows and exchange of rings, I had to go on one knee, kiss her hand, and vow to never betray her. Oh, my wife looked beautiful in a white dress. I wanted to eat her alive, but people were watching. After the wedding, she thanked the guests, and we moved back to the mansion I had arrived in. At night, I was so happy because I thought, "Finally, I am going to graduate from being a boy to a man." Sadly, she said we needed to sleep early because we were leaving the next morning. We slept while holding hands. Damn, I was so disappointed, and this guy inside my pants was screaming all night.
Early in the morning, we left with one of their fancy carriages. Our carriage was in the middle, with five in front and seven behind. We entered a grand estate that resembled a palace where a king might reside. The gardens were a breathtaking spectacle of meticulously arranged flower beds, exotic plants, and ancient trees, all maintained to perfection. Fountains adorned with intricate sculptures and crystal-clear water sparkled in the sunlight, adding to the estate's allure. Pathways paved with smooth stones wound gracefully through the gardens, inviting leisurely strolls.
The main building itself was a masterpiece of architectural brilliance, constructed from polished marble and adorned with ornate carvings. Tall, elegant columns supported grand archways, and the walls were embellished with exquisite tapestries and gold accents. The surrounding buildings, equally impressive, served various purposes and were connected by covered walkways. They housed libraries, training grounds, and living quarters for the many inhabitants of the estate.
Dominating the estate was the Yggdrasil tree, its immense trunk and sprawling branches radiating an ethereal beauty. The tree’s leaves shimmered with a soft, otherworldly light, casting a serene glow over the entire estate. It was so magnificent that, upon seeing it up close, I thought it was some kind of enchanted palace, a place where legends and royalty would converge.
After arriving, we met Elmacia with twelve other women I didn't know, thirteen including Elmacia. We all went into a large room, and Elmacia informed Leona, "Please make preparations; the coronation ceremony will be in five days."
"Thank you, Supreme Elder."
What coronation? What are these two talking about? Don't tell me Leona is going to be the QUEEN?
