The Sword Saint’S Runaway Bride
Introduction
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Hallo everynyeon~
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
This piece of fiction was supposed to be a one-shot; however, my brain came up with some more ideas...
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Therefore, this one-shot has been extended to some more chapters.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Oh! And if you're reading this chapter, assuming it's a character introduction, I apologize, but it's not like that.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
You can either keep reading or skip this introduction :D
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
So, I'm experimenting on this story here.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
It'll be like, less narration, tons of images for expressions, emotions, and more dialogues, I suppose?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Something like that.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Writing this story here because Re:ZERO's 4th season just released.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
And, I'm super frigging excited~!
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
There's also a canon divergence in this fiction, but I'll try not to make it OOC.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Every character has their own feelings and emotions.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
I'll try to use the images as if the scene itself were captured from a camera angle, (that's eggzactly the goal of this story.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
This story is also central around the Female Lead and her interaction with the Re:ZERO characters.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Idk what else to say ;-;
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
'cause if I do, I'm afraid I'll spill the tea 🥀💔
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Lemme know which cover y'all like
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
So, that's it, I suppose.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
I hope you enjoy this short fiction :D

These are some of my favourite songs, that inspired me to continue writing this chapter...
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
So, keep listening to it!
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
And did you know that this chapter is edited?

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(... A chandelier?)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(HAVE I BEEN KIDNAPPED?)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Hard to believe.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Maybe it's a dream.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(... I've finally lost my mind after staring at my history notes for six straight hours.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(I haven't even finished that assignment yet!)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(I'm so cooked.)
The girl wandered around the room for a while, admiring the furniture especially the crystal chandelier.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(It must've cost a fortune for the people who ordered this chandelier.)
Without the girl's awareness, the doors of the room were barged open.
Tons of servant girls hastily entered the room.
A girl moved forward with a wedding dress in her hand.
???
Dear Lady, please change into this garment.
???
The wedding will be held soon.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Hold on… What wedding?
???
Lady, have you forgotten?
???
It’s your wedding with our kingdom’s invincible knight.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(That's his name? Lame.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(AND WHO THE HECK IS EVEN THAT?)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(This doesn’t seem like a prank or a dream.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Turns out... I’ve been isekaied into a historical era…?)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
This doesn’t make any sense.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Why am I getting married?
???
Lady, we received a prophecy, and we ought to protect you.
???
Which is why you’re getting married to our kingdom’s strongest knight.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
What kind of prophecy was it that made you perform these reckless actions?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
How are you so certain that it’s gotta be me?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
I’m not some f*cking Oracle, bro.
???
Lady, the way you utter some words that are beyond our comprehension is fascinating.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Girl… You’ve gotta be kidding me.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(I don’t remember anything like this happening in the history books.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(School is so buns.)
One of the servants stepped forward.
???
Lady, allow me to explain!
???
The prophecy said: "When the foreign star falls, The Sword shall stand beside her."
???
We waited for the star to fall until we finally found you.
???
Though you were unconscious that time, the dragon's insignia had certainly reacted to your appearance!
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(This is getting ridiculous.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(That prophecy doesn’t define that I’m the fucking chosen one.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Dear god, if you do exist, please let me go home.)
Another maid barged into the room, startling everyone.
???
Why haven’t you begun dressing up the bride yet?!
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
... (Scary woman.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Crap, our eyes locked.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(I hope she won’t tell on me!)
???
Lady, pardon my intrusion.
???
Everyone has been anxious since the incident.
???
I hope you understand the situation. Please, get ready soon.
???
Guide the lady to the castle after you’re finished attiring her!
With that said, the woman turned and left the room.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(This is all too real.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(I don’t want to get married to some f*cking sword saint knight.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(I gotta make a run for it.)

Ep. 2
❝Re:Starting My Life As The Sword Saint’s Fiancée— The Sword Saint’s Runaway Bride❞

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(I gotta make a run for it.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Unfortunately, I couldn’t.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Because these stupid girls won’t freaking leave me alone!)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(First, I told them I’ll get ready by myself, but they refused and forced me to dress!)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(The tight corset is killing me!)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Then I told them I could head to the castle by myself, but they refused again and accompanied me throughout the way!)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(And so it continued… Until this brilliant mind-f*cking-blowing idea crossed my mind.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(This had to work.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Can you guys wait a few minutes?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
It’s urgent, I need a toilet.
???
Let us accompany you, Lady—
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Do you not understand the word privacy?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
You won’t even let me sh*t in peace?
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
I swear to god, I’ll put a curse on this kingdom!
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Did I go overboard?)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Well, as long as I get to flee.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(It’s not like I’ll ever come back here of my own will.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(That’s it. I’m leaving.)
Although, they still accompanied her to the toilet, who knew that a window was going to be her savior?
She tore off her dress to move freely and jumped out of the window.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(I got to experience that myself today.)
Halfway through the garden, there was a gate.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(If I walk past it, I might be free.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Get a vehicle or something and flee this kingdom.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Let's do this.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Finally, I am free—)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
AGHH! WHAT THE F*CK!
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Sh*t, did I hit a wal—)
When she looked up, the wall in question turned out to be a person.
She bumped right onto that hard chest—and now she was falling.
But she didn't hit the ground.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(What the heck?!)
That person grabbed her by her arms. It wasn’t forceful nor intimidating grip.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Get your sh*t together.)
Anyway, she steadied herself.
That’s all he said before withdrawing his hands.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Sh*t, I’m caught.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(I hope he won’t send me back to the castle.)
That person took off his cloak and moved it towards the girl.
???
You appear uncomfortable. Cover yourself with it.
The remains of her wedding dress fluttered in the wind.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Someone, please kill me.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(This is so embarrassing.)
She grabbed the cloak and tied it around her waist.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
What's your name?
The person looked confused when she asked that question.
His blue captivating eyes look straight ahead. And his red hair appeared awfully familiar.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(He looks like that guy from this Anime I watched recently...)
Reinhard
Reinhard Van Astrea.
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Absolutely no.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Out of every fictional universe.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Out of every anime.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(Out of every light novel.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(It had to be this one?)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(The one with the time loops?)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(The suffering?)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(The author who treats happiness like a personal enemy?)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(SUBARU IS SOMEWHERE HERE.)
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
(So, that means… I’m inside the novel of Re:ZERO!)
