[Stage-Sub1] Message from the Bride
Mashiro Vellet
Ouga, I love you.
I can’t remember how many times I’ve whispered those words in my heart.
Meeting you completely changed my life.
The person who entered the academy without clear intentions, just because others encouraged me for my talent, is gone now.
I can proudly say that I love you.
I can shout that I love you more than anyone else, loud enough to reach you even if you were on the opposite side of the world.
Every day with you has taught me so many emotions.
When you smile at me, my chest feels warm and I’m happy.
When you smile at someone else, I feel a tightening pain in my chest and it becomes difficult to bear.
But I’ve never once regretted falling in love with you.
I think if I hadn’t met you, I might have lived without knowing these feelings.
Sometimes I tried to hide my pain by getting jealous and saying terrible things to you.
But you never rejected me despite all that.
So when you proposed in Encarton… I was surprised to receive so much happiness.
I actually wanted to cry more, rejoice more, and tell you “I love you” more.
So I’ll tell you now, here.
I love you. My feelings are overflowing, too much to hold with both hands, too much even if I wrapped my arms around you from bottom to top.
If they grow any more, I might not be able to hold them back.
But now that we’re becoming a married couple, it’s okay if they spill over, right?
I believe all of them will reach you.
Even though I’m like this, please take care of me forever!
I loooove you, Ouga!
Karen Vellet
Always… always, right? I’ve been living with regret.
I know it’s strange for me to say this when I selfishly broke off our engagement when I was five and hurt you.
Even though Ouga says it wasn’t my fault.
But please let me apologize. I can’t move forward properly without telling you this.
I’m sorry.
And I love you, Ouga.
Did you notice? At the academy, I… was always following you with my eyes wherever you went.
That day when you took me away, I was thinking I wanted to go somewhere with just the two of us. Though in the end, it was better we didn’t elope, right?
So the day we got engaged again… I seriously thought I might die from happiness.
There’s one thing I’m sure even Ouga doesn’t know.
For about a month, I would look at our engagement document every morning before getting up.
It was easier to believe it was a dream. That’s how happy it made me.
I don’t stare at it anymore, of course!?
Because now, when I say “I love you,” you say “I love you” back.
When I feel lonely and intertwine our fingers, you squeeze back.
I can directly feel your love.
…You know, I love your hands.
Both your right hand that always protects us, and your left hand that’s a size bigger than mine and so reliable.
So when we sleep together… I want you to squeeze my hand again.
You’re so kind that you always hold me with your left hand to be considerate, but next time, use your right hand.
Both hands are part of you, and there’s no difference between them.
And just as you tell me with your words, I’ll also tell you by holding your hand.
All the love I’ve felt for the past ten years.
And all the love I’ll feel for the decades to come.
Reina Vellet
Please stay by my side forever, Ouga.
Fufu, I’m sorry. When I thought about what I wanted to say first, these were the words that came to mind.
That’s right. I… love you more than you realize, Ouga.
When we first met, I never thought we would end up getting married like this.
That must have been what they call destined meeting, right?
Somehow, the words you spoke to me resonated in my heart and shook me.
With your kindness, you pried open my firmly closed heart.
There were times when I wondered, “Why always Ouga?” But now I understand clearly.
Your words reached me because there was no lie in them; everything came directly from your honest heart.
I’m sure there’s no one else like you in the whole world.
Someone who would hear my cry for help, take lightning magic head-on without defending, yet never stop moving forward… and embrace me.
That’s why my destined partner can only be you, Ouga.
The only one I want beside me is you.
Even if I lived my life over again many times, my destined partner would only be you, Ouga. …I wouldn’t want anyone but you.
Since meeting you, I’ve remembered many things with “come to think of it.”
Like how warm it is to sleep together.
How delicious food tastes when eating with someone.
How fun it is to chat with friends.
You’ve helped me remember each little everyday joy that I had long forgotten…
And it’s not just remembering—there are new discoveries too, you know?
How my cheeks get tired when I laugh too much.
How my heart races when your face comes close to mine.
…How seeing the smile of someone dear makes me happy.
That’s when I realized.
My world had been colorless all this time.
With every mention of your name, Ouga, I became able to smile.
These feelings… if I hadn’t met you, I surely wouldn’t have known them.
I present you with my utmost gratitude and a love to which I dedicate my life—to you, Ouga, who brought color to my world.

I… I adore you, Ouga sama.
…I-I’m so nervous.
I’m usually fine when writing letters, but… perhaps it’s because you’re right here in front of me.
I’ll do my best to express myself… I’d be happy if you listen.
I still can’t forget our first meeting.
It brings back memories. I even shouted at you… it’s so embarrassing that I wish I could erase it from history…
Even so, you didn’t abandon me. You picked me up when I was at rock bottom, and that’s why I am who I am today.
I’m confident I could keep writing my gratitude to you endlessly, but I’ll refrain as it would diverge from today’s purpose.
I’ve always been receiving from you, Ouga sama… so I’ve been thinking every day about how I could give something back to you.
I’ve had the honor of teaching you martial arts, serving as your sparring partner, examining your muscles to check if they’re balanced…
I-I pride myself on knowing your physique better than anyone else!
…I-I’m sorry for raising my voice…
Ahem While spending each day with you like this… I received something very, very precious.
That is… the “love” emotion that lit up in my heart and will never extinguish.
When I first noticed these feelings, I thought they were surely just admiration for you, Ouga sama.
But they never cooled down no matter how much time passed.
Usually I can fall asleep right away, but in bed, I wanted to see you. I wanted to talk with you. I wanted you to pat my head once more…!
These feelings welled up and wouldn’t stop…
…I have been taking care of your daily needs, Ouga sama. So I was aware of the feelings other women directed toward you.
It was then that I, who had only known how to swing a sword until then, finally realized.
This new feeling born in my heart was “love.”
So from now on, I hope to express this to you many times.
A-as your wife… I love you… O-Ouga! …my lord…
