146 Married (1/2)
Standing in the room we hear the bell ringing signaling that it is time for us to get ready and send both the bride and groom out and down the aisle.
Elder Luke then spoke up.
”Child I have raised you the best I can, even when all the others wanted you to abandon me you stayed by my side. Today I will be here for you as you marry into the Royal Family, so don't let your nerves get the best of you.
Was it not you who wanted this more than any of the other Elite's and Young Masters?”
Tapping Tes's shoulder Elder Luke walked out of the room waiting for everyone to all walk out.
Tes was dressed in a military suit that he wanted to wear, it was black and his silver metal cuffs made him stand out, he looked over at me and smiled as best he could. Although it was a bitter smile he did fit the look of a handsome young prince marrying a princess.
Turning my head away I walked out, following behind Elder Luke this caused the old man to visibly sweat as he lead our group out and towards the front of the wedding venue.
Many of the Major powers and their Elders held their breaths as they saw Elders Luke's young face knowing I must have done something to help the man regain his lost cultivation. They were even more shocked at the fact that I walked behind him and allowed him to lead our group.
The look in their eyes were of shock awe and greed, they had long since had members who were crippled out in the field during the wars and wished to undo it to restore their foundations as well as help those who were hurt once again rise from being powerless.
Knowing this would cause a great commotion within the Empire I had already informed the Pill Hall to offer this treatment to those crippled during the war, and for those who are found to be loyal to the Empire.
I could never turn away more troops for I will be setting up the Realm Wars after this wedding.
Once the Realm Wars started I will have to rely on a single Realm or the other Void Gods hiding would know that I already hold three Realms. Lilly has told me that of the 72 Realms she created each of the 50 Higher Realms have 5 to 10 Void Gods, this does not include the hidden ones.
With this on my mind I find myself standing face to face with Ayer and her smile wakes me up from my thoughts.
”Little girl don't make me have to beat you half to death, while I approve of this wedding I wished you waited instead of rushing away from me. I know you were afraid that you would be influenced by your sisters behavior....
It doesn't matter anymore just remember not to break my General I need him to be as fiery as this in the coming wars.”
With that said, I turned to see the sweat drenched Tes who ruined his image of a gallant youth marrying a princess.
Then I turn to see the sweet smile on the faces of both Tiffany and Leta, the look Tiffany gives me is the same as Ayer they were both raised inside the Palace since young and I treated both the same.
As for Leta she was overjoyed as she kept peeking at Tes, this girl will be able to let Tes balance his newfound harem.
With her both Tiffany and Ayer who are aggressive would have to think twice about bullying young Tes with this soft flower next to him at all times otherwise they would find themselves neglected.
A few of my wives sensed these motives and informed both girls making me catch angry glares from both of them.
While both Tes and Leta only looked on in confusion along with most of those in attendance, I wasted no time as I made my way to the table were the Crest Clan Elders seem to have finally recovered.
Veshara handed Tes and his wives a gift each, all from me and my wives then she made her way to me.
Following behind her were the others with Vivian in the lead behind Veshara, and behind her is the shy Empress Elina standing side by side with Persephone with a few others behind them.
Soon my wives were seated all around me making it hard for the Elders of the Crest Clan to remain, they quickly knew to remove themselves and began to make room. When Richard was about to move he found he was unable to, he then saw that Empress Valara was telling him he can stay.
He nodded his head an no longer tried to 'escape' then tried his best to stop his shaky hand from spilling the drink he grabbed to calm his nerves.
I looked over at him and found him to be in the same state he was in back when we first met, during that time he was a youth who had yet to take over for his father.
Thinking back on that I look over and spot Vesta and Larisa both smiling at me and then give a light nod to Richard who is lost in thought.
Vivian then signals for the wedding to officially start.
Once it started I saw the three brides wearing very alluring dresses designed to tempt young Tes.
Each wearing the same dress shocking the crowd, they were happy to see that the other two brides were able to shine just as much as Princess Ayer. The only thing that was to her advantage was her stunning looks being able to match the black and green dress.
Her scales were visible and it enchanted the young males in attendance, they soon sent stares of death at Tes. He was feeling the pressure but as he looked at all the envious and jealous faces his old demeanor came back and he was gloating with a smug smile.
He walked over and took Ayer's hands while looking at all those youths who tried to take his woman.
