In a fit of rage, Luther begged his sister for help. "Your Majesty, would you allow me to stay here with you for a while, I would like to spend more time with you".

"Ho, I don't think you will have the time to stay here when you have to prepare for your wedding. Isn't it Marquis?". Sebastian continues on making sarcastic remarks to Luther while enjoying his rage.

"Your getting married to whom?"

"I'm getting married to whom?"

Rachel and Luther said it together at the same time.

Henry was embarrassed that he was put on the hotseat by the Duke.

"Ahem. Yes, I have arranged the engagement request, and Marquis Camelon should have the letter by now."

Luther shrugs uncontrollably, as if what he just heard is like a big joke.

"You want me to marry Lady Louie? That crazy young lady of the Camelon's?". He looks at his father and Sebastian. The latter gave him a triumphant smile.

"I will not allow it. I will not allow you to manipulate my life". Luther shouted at the top of his lungs and left hurriedly.

Sebastian made a signal to Sir Alfred to follow Luther and make sure to bring him in the capital.

"Your Majesty, please accept my apology on behalf of my son's rude behavior". Henry bowed down in shame.

Sebastian nods, dismisses the Marquis, and turns to face Rachel with a warm expression in his eye.

Rachel is dumbfounded of what just happened. In the original TV series plot, Lady Louie Camelon followed Luther into the monster realm because of her unwavering love for him. They didn't end up together because Luther was killed by Sebastian. Their love story is one of the most tragic love stories of all time.

'So, they are still fated to be together in this life but this time they will have the chance to finish their own ending'.

Rachel turns to face Sebastian and reaches out to touch his face. "Thank you". Whatever political games Sebastian is playing, she thanks him sincerely for giving a chance to finish their love story.

Sebastian furrowed his brow in confusion as to what his wife was thanking him for. He anticipated that she would be angry with him for playing a dirty trick on her brother.

"Sometimes, I have no idea what goes on inside that cute head of yours."

He embraced Rachel and gave her a passionate kiss. Rachel responded with the same fervor while wrapping her arms around his neck.

The Astrid Duchy is filled with romantic moments from the royal couple following their wedding. Due to their nightly activities, they were seen eating late breakfast together. The Duke went on walks in the garden with Rachel every day, and he also joined her for afternoon tea in the greenhouse.

Meanwhile, they sneak into the northern capital while dressing covertly and walking like commoners. Rachel showed Sebastian her favorite restaurants and toured him inside her department store and coffee shop. She personally made a cappuccino for Sebastian, and he like it so much that he asked Rachel to teach the royal chef how to make it so they could include it on the duchy's beverage menu.

Sebastian learned a lot about Rachel, including her odd facial expressions and unusual words like OMG, LOL, BFF, and so on. He was unaware that he frequently laughed at her inane babble and various facial expressions. When Rachel discusses her ideas, he enjoys it the most because her eyes light up and it appears as though she has struck gold.

He realized that she is an uninhibited person who is flowing with life. He laughed so hard as she recalled her adventures in the northern kingdom, such as how she and her friends would sneak into the pantry during the banquets for nobles.

"And Countess Gloria discovered us in the kitchen, and you know what she did....?" Rachel continues to babble that she has finally realized that Sebastian is staring at her as if he has been hypnotized and is in a bewildered state.

"Sebastian?". Rachel waved her palm in front of his face to shake him out of his trance and Sebastian suddenly grabbed her face and gave her an intense kiss inside the restaurant. As a result of Rachel's embarrassment, he chuckled so loudly that other diners in the restaurant were glaring at them, and she pinched his arm as if to reprimand him.

Whenever Sebastian left the palace, Rachel is patiently waiting for his return just like a wife would for her husband.

The couple's laughter and intoxicating romance fill the Astrid palace. The royal staff believes that this is their new normal life, one that is full of hope for the future thanks to the Duchess, who made it all possible.

Rachel felt that she's living in a cloud nine and she doesn't want to wake up in this fantasy dream she has created about their marriage being normal, and that Sebastian has a feelings for her.

She wanted to believe it to be true, but she also dismissed the thought when she is reminded of the reality and the fact that her family was waiting for her in the previous world.
