Join the ServerGrayish, murky blonde hair shone brilliantly under the fluorescent lights of the dark security room.
As if bothered, he swept his hair back once and sat cross-legged on an office chair in the middle of the room.
As if that were natural.
The investigators tightly packing the security room wore dark uniforms and stood with their hands behind their backs.
Whether due to tension, cold sweat unfitting for the season dripped like rain.
Adrian Blake, the most senior investigator, possessed that much authority.
“What did I say?”
Adrian asked gently while crossing his legs and resting his chin on one hand.
He had a soft and languid face, as if hinting at what he had been doing with his fiancée just a moment ago.
However, no one in the security room could laugh.
In the end, Colt, an investigator who was somewhat close to Adrian, stepped forward hesitantly, unable to overcome his colleagues’ glares.
“Uh, I, that…… you said to be careful of villains.”
“You know it well.”
Adrian laughed cheerfully and turned his head to look straight ahead.
In front of him, countless panels filled one wall completely.
Each rectangular screen contained closed-circuit footage, and more than sixty percent of them illuminated the figure of one woman.
Slightly long bobbed hair. A pretty cat-like face. A sulky expression, as if displeased with something.
It was Selena Han.
And now, attached to that name was the modifier ‘whom Adrian Blake is driven crazy by.’
There was even a rumor circulating that Deputy Director Sandria Oslo of the Special Bureau had written that exact phrase in her investigation notebook.
“A mistake happens once.”
Adrian’s cheerful voice broke the line of thought.
He tapped the collapsed figure on the floor with the heel of his shoe.
Investigator Colt swallowed hard.
The villain who was messing around with the closed-circuit camera would be incarcerated in the Special Bureau starting today.
It was because he had targeted a pretty woman who was choosing a dress.
Of all things, why did an electrokinesis user have to provoke an archmage of the electrokinesis branch?
Colt offered a brief silent prayer for the villain.
Adrian narrowed his eyes and pressed him.
“Starting from the second time, it is not a mistake but intentional. Is that not so?”
“Uh, yes, yes!”
While Colt hurriedly answered on behalf of the investigators, Adrian was stepping out of the security room before anyone noticed.
As his heavy, suffocating presence vanished, the atmosphere grew considerably lighter.
Sighs could be heard from all over the security room.
Colt rubbed his nape, which felt chilly for no reason, and stared into the closed-circuit video.
Before long, Adrian appeared on the screen, having jumped through space.
When he reached out his hand while smiling like a fox, the woman stepped back in horror.
From the perspective of someone whose life had been threatened just a moment ago, the man’s sullen face felt utterly distasteful.
Just when on earth did this start?
“He says it’s because he loves her, but how can anyone believe it?”
Colt rubbed his temples.
His respected senior claimed that he committed all these actions because he loved Sena Han, but few people believed it at face value.
People were divided into the political marriage faction and the love marriage faction, fighting like dogs.
However, thinking about it, that woman was always at the end of Adrian Blake’s gaze.
Selena Han.
A survivor from planet ES-2100, which was closed down due to the Solar Return Project.
The daughter of that Eugenia Han, and a figure famous in a bad way within media circles.
And Adrian Blake’s nemesis and fiancée.
What was the reason Adrian paid so much attention to her?
To view it simply as being involved in the same project was unsatisfactory.
To dismiss it as a peculiar taste for enjoying being verbally abused was even more so.
Ugh, ah…… you crazy bastard!
From the rectangular panel, a woman’s voice drenched in moisture could be heard faintly.
She probably had to squeeze out her tiny remaining patience to hold back her swearing.
Colt tried hard not to frown and hurriedly ushered the investigators outside.
Right before closing the door, Adrian Blake was kissing Sena Han inside the closed-circuit video.
“W-Wait a moment, Sir!”
Sena wept softly.
Because they were outside, she couldn’t treat him roughly as she did when they were alone, yet she couldn’t just leave this as it was either.
She was truly driven mad by Adrian, who was fluttering near the boundary like a fox.
And Adrian knew that fact precisely, enjoying the benefit to his heart’s content.
“Yes, Sena. Just a moment.”
Adrian answered nonchalantly and greedily swallowed Sena’s lips.
Because of that, the thin gauze curtain dividing the waiting room and the fitting room shook gently.
No matter how much this was a private dress shop favored by high-society members of the Federation, there should be an allowable limit.
Even if they were newlyweds who looked good together, it shouldn’t become an eyesore.
Sena looked at the shaking curtain and anxiously pushed Adrian’s shoulders away.
“Stop it.”
“You don’t want to do it right now?”
“T-That’s not it, the makeup! The makeup will be ruined.”
“We can just do it again.”
“Ah, I’m speechlessly flabbergasted……”
While the dumbfounded Sena could only open and close her mouth, Adrian ended up erasing her lipstick and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
However, the lipstick mark transferred to his face, far from being erased, only smudged further.
The powder smeared on the collar of his ascetic uniform was undeniably erotic.
Looking at that state, Sena felt like she was going to faint.
Looking at Adrian, who was glancing at her white shoulder with a languid face as if he was still unsatisfied, she was even afraid that they might end up doing something worse.
Sena, taking the risk of gossip starting, refrained from cleaning up and instead pulled back the curtain right away.
The dress shop madame waiting in the room outside the curtain nodded her head as if understanding completely.
“My goodness, I knew it wasn’t a political marriage, but a love marriage after all.”
The fact that Sena didn’t answer those words was not because she admitted it, but because it wasn’t worth responding to.
Regardless of her client’s silence, the madame chimed in amiably.
“Because her collarbone is pretty, an off-the-shoulder dress is indeed much better. What do you think, Sir Adrian?”
The gazes of the bride-to-be and the madame shifted to Adrian.
Adrian Blake, with a face more fitting to be called prettier than the bride, roughly rubbed off the lipstick mark around his mouth and spoke.
“I still prefer a ball-gown beaded dress.”
“But isn’t that a bit, well, too neat? For a bride-to-be who is a mature beauty, a daring dress made of Mikado silk is the absolute best.”
The madame protested softly.
“Besides, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime wedding. It’s only right for the groom to listen to the bride’s opinion.”
As if wondering what was funny about the madame’s words, Adrian let out a small snort.
He lightly lifted Sena’s chin with his index finger and whispered.
“Sena, what do you think?”
“Naturally, it should be done with the dress I want.”
“I am already listening to your opinion enough, aren’t I? We decided to make the wedding public, after all.”
Sena bit the tender flesh inside her mouth at his words.
To hold a wedding, but to keep it private with only family members present was Adrian’s stance.
However, for Sena, making it public held many advantages.
In the end, Adrian yielded to her persistence.
Even so, Sena still had something to say.
“However, you decided on the location as you pleased.”
“What is wrong with Eastroad Cathedral?”
“If we marry at the cathedral…… it’ll be difficult to get a divorce.”
Her trailing words grew smaller, conscious of the madame looking at them.
The space between Adrian’s eyebrows narrowed noticeably, but he stepped back without saying anything further.
“Very well, then. Do as you wish with the dress.”
Sena’s face brightened slightly.
In fact, as long as she was holding a public wedding ceremony with Adrian Blake, the dress design didn’t really matter.
However, she didn’t want to yield to him even a little bit.
Even if Adrian had already taken the initiative.
Whether he knew her heart or not, Adrian slyly whispered into her ear.
“However, right now I will do as I please.”
As he pleases.
When Sena stepped back at those ominous words, Adrian pulled the thin gauze curtain shut with a snap.
With the refreshing sound of the metal rings sliding across the curtain rod, Sena was thrown onto her stomach onto the couch prepared in the fitting room.
“You, ugh, the groom should be in the waiting room……!”
Her breath was caught short under the weight of his bulky body pressing down on her.
The waiting room and fitting room were separated by only a single sheet of white curtain, meant to heighten the fluttering emotions between the groom and bride.
However, in the face of Adrian’s tyranny, which ignored conventions, the thin curtain was powerless.
“Oh my, how scandalous.”
The madame standing outside the curtain sensed the unusual atmosphere and vanished.
At the madame’s playful grumbling, both of Sena’s cheeks flushed bright red.
