### Marriage

Things don't go as planned during Diana and Akko's fateful marriage. Situational allies Croix and Xuihcoatl coveted Shiny Rod which at the time in Akko's hands and the latter instructed the former to assassinate Diana at that day. Even though she managed to carry the order, Croix ultimately turned against the abomination only to be scarred in the ensuing confrontation and forced to flee. That being said, Diana miraculously survived the harrowing ordeal and agree with Akko to continue their initially halted marriage ceremony at the hospital, this time a simple one.

Only Diana, Akko, and Chariot who know the truth behind the attack. While working in the cure for Wagandea, Croix, who had since overcome her past resentments, crossed path with Xuihcoatl who scarred her and used her to create a puppet double for attempted assassination. Chariot managed to save her lover but was too late to prevent the scheme into fruition, let alone keeping Croix's name clean. Diana herself noticed something amiss as Croix's doppelganger had same red eyes as its creator. So long Xuihcoatl at large, Croix was forced to remain in hiding.

Illustrated comics by TheNeonFlower:

"With graduation days away, Akko needed to ask Diana one question..."Croix assassinated Diana during her marriage with Akko, or is she?"There exists a spell, in which two lovers can cast to bind their souls together forever, otherwise known as soulmates. However, the succession rate of this spell is very low, as it can deny the bond because they will not be happy together in the future,"
### Separation

As Diana continues her duty as the latest headmistress of Luna Nova, Akko continues performing as a magical star like her idol Shiny Chariot. Yet living separate lives due to their respective career soon takes its toll on the couple, which didn't help by Akko's time as the next Shiny Chariot concluded following Shiny Rod's return to the stars at one point and not mentally ready to reunite with her wife. Wanting to take it slow, she decides to remain incognito while moving on to teaching career at Luna Nova under the name of Ms. Ophiuchus, the new mystic biology teacher. Eventually, before things got out of hand, Akko reunites with Diana when she needs her most.

Around this time, Akko and Diana had received their familiars; Serpens the snake and an unnamed snow leopard who succeeded Arcas as the guardian of Fountain of Polaris for Akko and Cerus the unicorn and an unnamed Harpy Eagle for Diana.

To Diana and Akko's dismay, the extent of the damage Xuihcoatl's poison done on the former had resulted her sterile. It took the couple a while to agree that unable to conceive children being the least of their worries.
