"It's not often that a man finds a woman that he wants to spend the rest of his days with—and for Gods and even Goddesses like us, it does not strike us odd to perhaps experience what it is like to have aor two and simply let it be"

"Adopt the deht However, that is not the case here,"King Areal looked over at Raphael and Rowena and smiled kindly"My son has decided that he wants to spend his eternity with the woman he loves and as a father, I cannot help but be compelled to support him"

There was a hushed reaction within the crowd as the king continued

"Normally, the tourna a new God or Goddess to accompany us here in Cretea, but for the sake of love—both roe us and celebrate the welcome of Rowena Roseland into Cretea, the future wife of your Seventh Prince"

Queen Lilith approached her son and Roith the potion bottle wrapped in a beautiful silk ribbon

"Welcome to our family, Rowena I say this in advance, that I am truly happy to have you join us" A smile adorned the Goddess' face "It'll be a little difficult to deal with row closer because we'll have to deal with each other forever"
