The Enemy's Husband || 敵の旦那様Ch3 - The Legendary Wedding – Part 1

General Haoran was disappointed.

His groom’s face was covered by a thick veil, and no features were distinguishable. dvXBH2

Did such a custom always exist? That wasn’t the greatest problem, though. The issue was that with a red skirt sweeping the floor and completely red-adorned hands, the attire resembled blood-sucking antennas. And to top it off, his head was covered to the bosom by an even redder cloth. He looked like a faceless mosquito, no matter how one observed him. General Haoran’s mood was immediately dampened. He no longer held any form of curiosity towards his groom and decided to not pay attention to this humanoid mosquito species.

However, he heard a sound from outside the palanquin.

“General, you need to escort the groom to the palanquin,” the head of the palanquin bearers said.

“Why doesn’t he have perfectly functional legs?” General asked, looking away indifferently. “But General—” 3a1A5d

“I know.”

Despite the disdain he held for this so-called ‘groom’, he was one who honoured traditions and customs. Hence, he lifted his foot and got out of the pavilion, taking military steps towards the mosquito.

As the General came to stand in front of the groom, he realised that his groom was shorter than him. And there was slight movement from his legs and body as Haoran came closer.

Was he shivering?

And apparently, it wasn’t just noble women who were cowards; even princes were flowers borne of silk.

Now that it had come to this, he figured he might as well lend a helping hand. He raised his hand and opened his slender fingers for the other person to hold onto. DU91Li

But the mosquito prince swatted his hand away.

General Haoran’s eyes widened in shock as whispers erupted all around. So much for being polite; he immediately retracted his hand, gritting his teeth.

He’d never felt so humiliated in his life before.

Before he burst a nerve from indescribable anger, he glared daggers at the mosquito groom and spat, “Since the prince has enough strength to push someone’s hand away, I believe he also has enough strength to walk himself up to the palanquin.” dOQ 3s

With that, he turned around to leave. But before he could do so, he felt something stop him from behind. General Haoran glanced back.

The mosquito groom was holding onto his red wedding robe carefully.

What… was this?

Was he perhaps afraid of skin-to-skin touch? Confused, the General didn’t refuse him and decided to escort the man anyway. He was not dishonourable enough to abandon someone weak, especially when they were holding onto him. Sure, he didn’t like them. But, he’d also made it a point to help people when he could. n P2dF

The thought, however, didn’t last for more than a moment. The mosquito groom lost his footing over a gravel stone and was curving forward from the impact, ready to fall and break one of his ribs. Before he could faceplant himself, however, he immediately grabbed the General in front of him as a cushion shield against the rocky, thorny floor.

The result was that he was securely nestled in the General’s chest while the General ate a face full of sand.

This piece of…

The General was so resentful that he could feel his blood almost boiling, and he instinctively began to look for his 6-foot-tall sword. NVdqET

The anger, however, lasted only a second because he saw that the veil covering the groom had been blown away and his face was on full display.

The General was honestly stunned.

Gold liners and silver powder adorned his lashes as he looked at the General shocked. His eyes were wide—abnormally wide. General Haoran assumed he was simply shocked, but even after he calmed down and got up, his eyes were “wildly shocked.” It turns out it was the nature of his eyes. And his lips, painted with red rouge, were shaped as if someone had forced a cherry in between them. Both these things combined were the face of a man whose only expression was to look permanently shocked, and at a glance, it made someone wonder whether they had accidentally come across a fool.

He couldn’t believe that someone could look so average even with all that makeup. W7Dcme

When he realised how he’d have to stare at this foolish face every day from now on, he balled his fists.

He was so hateful that he began quivering.

No, because the mosquito he killed a few days ago had way better appeal than this!
