Start from the beginning
                                        

"It doesn't matter, you're here." Leo whispered. And they both looked at Mitsu who immediately continued.

"I-uh... we are gathered here today--"

"Skip that part, already." (Y/N) ordered.

"Yes, o-of course. *clears throat* Uh, do you, Leonardo Hamato, take—"

"Make it shorter."

"Okay, do you take (Y/N) (L/N) to be your lawfully wedded wife—"

"I DO!" Leo answered.

"Very well, as for you, (Y/N)—"

"I DO!" (Y/N) answered, cutting off Mitsu. Then she whispered with a "A little bit more faster, we're both hungry."

"Man, you guys are in a rush. By the power and authority invested in me on behalf of the Kazenami clan, I now pronounce you, husband and wife. You may now kiss."

Leo and (Y/N) face each other and kissed. The whole temple was filled with tremendous cheers and joy.

(Y/N)'s cousin's: HOORAY!

The vassals: Omedeto~!

A crazy villager: Happy Birthday!!!

The remaining Genji's caught: *crying*

The sun sets and the doors of the Kazenami Temple were opened. The main hall was filled with people. They are doing their traditional dances, playing instruments, and some were eating their dinner on their respective tables.

The couple is on the balcony together, watching them.

"I've never seen the whole kingdom happy before." (Y/N) commented.

"Do weddings look like this as usual?" Leo asked.

"Well, the weddings you see may be simple. But this kind is for royals or officials." (Y/N) said.

"The weddings they do on my time... they go to a church."

"You mean a shrine?"

"Close enough. And then, they have wine and food. The most romantic part is the couple will have their first dance." Leo explained.

"First dance as a couple? Being a princess, I was oblidged to dance on ceremonies but..." (Y/N) hold Leo's hand and they stood up. Just in time, musicians played a romantic song.

<play the track above>

"Leo, can you teach me this 'first dance'?" the daimyo asked.

"Okay. Your right hand will be placed on my shoulder. My left hand will be on your waist and.... we'll hold hands." Leo demonstrates.

"It is more likely the same to some dances in the western countries." (Y/N) said.

"They are."

While they are dancing, they didn't realized that the people are looking at them. They only put their attention in their magical moment.

"Leo?"

"Hmmm?"

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Leo's eyes started to fill with confusion. Why does his wife will ask such question.

"Why ask?"

"Leo... look at me. I killed many... my hands were bloodstained..."

Leo pulled her on a tight embrace, "I am never going to be afraid of you. I love you even if you kill millions or even me. I will be honored to go to my grave, believing in you."

(Y/N) was caught off guard by his words. She didn't expect those words.

"I'll be always in your heart, (Y/N)."

"I have no heart, Leo."

"You have one, (Y/N). It's just you don't see it."

"Baka (fool)! Of course I don't!"

"Not physically, I mean. What I'm trying to say is... it is just ironic that I appreciate you more than you appreciate yourself. If you cannot love yourself, I'm always here to give you the love you need and you deserve to feel." Leo said. (Y/N) stops and her gaze went to the floor.

"I-I couldn't—"

The sight what Leo saw make his heart ache. (Y/N) is facing down, her hair covering her face. But he certainly saw a tear went down her cheek. She doesn't want anyone to see her shed tears.

"I couldn't thank you enough..." she whispered. Her voice started to shake.

"I always wondered if the gods gave me you as a reward for saving thousands of prisoners from the Genji..." she continued, more tears streaming down. Leo cupped her cheek and gave her a kiss.

"I believe that's true." Leo whispered as he pulled his wife again with another embrace.
