Chapter 287. Side Story – Heimdall Pt. 7
“So, that had all been an event...” Heimdall muttered to himself as he sat alone at home. As he was sitting alone, there was no one who could answer him.
“It was just a proposal...”
Heimdall laughed and laid down on the sofa. He was filled with shock and awe, but at the same time, he also was filled with immense joy.
‘You always protected me,’ she had said. ‘Actually, when Jun-Kyeong regressed, I remembered it all.’
Although Heimdall hadn’t known it, she had remembered everything. All of it. The countless hours they had spent together. Athena had slowly recalled them all once Lee Jun-Kyeong had regressed. That was why she had made up her mind.
‘I wanted to protect you at least once.’
Her desire was to protect Heimdall, who had always protected her, with her own two hands. That was why everything had been set up on such a ridiculous scale and why she had planned such an unfathomable proposal. Everyone had been in on it, too.
“Even when Horus and Liu Bei had gone to meet Odin...”
For the proposal, they had gone to the Association to specifically request for Heimdall to help them raid the special Gates and had pulled strings to have him be granted the right to raid them.
‘Well, Athena...she asked me to be involved, too.’
“That brat Lee Jun-Kyeong was in on it, too.”
He couldn’t help but laugh. Chi-Woo and Zeus had been cast as the evil villains, pushing Heimdall into dire straits. This was all for Athena to stand before him, protecting him and confessing her love. Heimdall laughed again, almost finding it impossible to believe that was what they had thought of as a proposal.
Sparkle.
Either way, the diamond ring on his hand shone as Heimdall smiled. Of course, he had accepted it.

“I mean, it really was ridiculous,” Lee Jun-Kyeong said to Jeong In-Chang.
Athena and Heimdall’s marriage had been confirmed, so the two Hunters were gossiping about the coming event.
Lee Jun-Kyeong said with a smile, “How could anyone actually come up with that sort of a proposal?”
“I mean, it is Lady Athena, isn’t it?” Jeong In-Chang responded, smiling in kind.
They both thought about it for a moment before realizing that was the case. Athena was a more serious person than anyone else and was also more calm and level-headed than any of them.
“She does have that strange personality, doesn’t she...”
However, she was also eccentric. Still, even though Lee Jun-Kyeong had actively aided her in her plans, he still couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.
“I could never have imagined a proposal like this.”
Even when he had heard her plan, all he could say in response was ‘uh...uh...um...okay...’
However, Lee Jun-Kyeong had always known that his father, Yeo Seong-Gu, had wanted to be with Athena again. That was why he had helped her to the best of his ability.
‘Please.’
More than anything, it was the way Athena had looked, explaining her plan and asking for a favor. When he saw her like that, he felt the beginnings of something stir.
“Are you going to have to call Lady Athena mother now?”
It was something like a mother’s warmth.
Lee Jun-Kyeong shook his head. “Even if they’re getting married, it’s still difficult to go that far. Seong-Gu Hyung... I... I don’t even call him father yet.”
The person that he had followed his entire life, believing to be an older brother of sorts, had suddenly turned out to be his father. There was no way for him to accept something like that easily.
The two of them had stayed together, working through these newfound familiar emotions, but he believed he needed to move out then for the sake of their newlywed life. Lee Jun-Kyeong sighed. It would be impossible for him to live in that house once Athena moved in.
Still, his expression quickly changed as he said, grinning, “I plan to visit quite often, as we have a lot of time for the future.”
Jeong In-Chang smiled, but their joking mood also only lasted for a moment as Lee Jun-Kyeong suddenly asked a question curiously, “By the way...”
Once they had emerged from the gate, he had taken the time to speak with Heimdall. One thing that had been strange was that Athena mentioned that she had found lipstick in the car.
“Had that been a part of the plans, too? I didn’t hear anything about that...”
He wondered if the tube of lipstick that Athena had discovered had just been placed there to embarrass Heimdall and prevent him from discovering their plans for the proposal. If so, he hadn’t heard anything about that part, too.
‘I really was flustered then. Hahaha.’
Heimdall had even said that he had assumed that it was all planned.
‘If it wasn’t for the plans to propose, I was going to kill Siegfried!’
There was something fishy about it all...
“Ha...ha...hahaha....”
Lee Jun-Kyeong heard a short burst of laughter as Jeong In-Chang turned his head to the side.
‘Damn it. I thought I had cleaned it all...’ the Hunter thought as he squirmed and sweated.

[The Arrival of the Couple of the Century.]
Heimdall and Athena wanted to hold a quiet ceremony. However, contrary to their wishes, the world refused to leave them alone. Starting with Korea, the entire planet made headlines about their marriage.
[The Joining of two SSS-Class Hunters.]
Still, there was nothing that any of them could say about how the world had reacted. No matter how much they wanted it to be quiet, even they could admit that their wedding was something that everyone in the world would be interested in. Furthermore, after their union was announced, there was even an impact on the stock market.
“It’s been a while, Sangun.”
Sangun growled in response and laughed softly. There was a seat right next to it for Fenrir, Hel, and the other Familiars.
“Chomp, chomp!”
The princess was also there with a disgusting expression on her face as she shoved food endlessly into her mouth. Once many stories had been exchanged, Zeus, who had taken up the mantle of host, began to speak.
“We will be beginning the ceremony shortly,” he said.
“To think Zeus would act as the host...just how...”
Although everyone was surprised, Lee Jun-Kyeong was the most surprised. To think that the great Zeus would have been the host for Athena and Heimdall’s wedding.
Then, the ceremony began.
“The groom is entering!”
Heimdall appeared.
“Wow, I really didn’t think they would have, but...”
“They really did it.”
“Are they insane?”
The tables all started to get noisy. Of course, the only table saying anything negative was the table that Lee Jun-Kyeong and the others were sitting at. The reason they were exclaiming and teasing Heimdall was that the Hunter had entered the hall wearing his brilliant armor instead of a tuxedo and was wielding his rainbow-colored sword.
“That’s Heimdall’s divine item...!”
Many heads of state and powerful people were gathered, but there wasn’t any commotion at the sight of Heimdall’s fully armored state, as it had already been announced in advance. The guests had all been informed that they didn’t have to accept the invitation if they were concerned about their safety, as the wedding would be held dressed in their armor.
Then, Zeus called out once more.
“The bride is entering!”
However, the bride didn’t enter with her father in arm, as Athena also came in, dressed in her armor.
“Cough, cough, cough.”
“This really is amazing!”
A tremendous amount of pressure weighed down the wedding hall.
Sssss.
There was only one reason why they were able to show off their divine items like this.
“This really is...”
Lee Jun-Kyeong was suppressing their aura, secretly raising a hand and erecting a barrier.
“It really is such a symbolic wedding.”
“To think two guardians of the world would join together as one.”
“Everyone...”
“No one could ever think of crossing Mr. Lee again.”
In the midst of all of them teasing each other, one phrase at a time, Zeus declared to the audience with a grin, “With this, I am proud to announce the joining of Heimdall and Athena as husband and wife.”
With the declaration of a ruler who held the world in hand that no one could ignore, the auditorium erupted in cheers.
Waaaaa!!!!!
Cheers rang through the auditorium so loud that it felt as though the building would crumble. Athena and Heimdall looked over at Lee Jun-Kyeong and winked. In return, he smiled as he applauded.
They had built their perfect home, and the dream that had seemed entirely unreachable had finally come to fruition. As the cheers rang around them, Ungnyeo suddenly grabbed Lee Jun-Kyeong and called out to him.
“Lee Jun-Kyeong! Please go out with me.”
It was another extremely unexpected confession.
