Chapter 547 - Lunas White Ring (1/2)

Aleksis stared at Nicolae lovingly, like a girl to her best friend, whom she loved dearly. This was the only man she would have ever considered marrying, when, after 10 years of trying, she could finally let go of her husband.

The four years they had together will always be there, in her memory. They were family and spent so much time together. Nothing can take that away from either of them. Just how Nicolae expressed it in an emotional ”I'll always remember it...”

When the music played and the two hugged for one last time, Aleksis and Nicolae finally danced their last dance together. Tomorrow they were supposed to dance as husband and wife, and today, they danced to say goodbye.

It was solemn, respectful, and bittersweet.

Alaric could only watch Nicolae and Aleksis dance from afar. His heart felt sad for his brother, who from his observation, really loved Aleksis. If it was another man, he certainly wouldn't sympathize at all and would, by all means, expel him.

But Alaric realized that for the ten years he was absent from Aleksis's life, it was Nicolae who was by her side. His heart felt wronged, thinking of how the time Nicolae spent with Aleksis was actually far longer than Alaric and Aleksis' time together, which was only one week.

However, his little heart was very grateful, because all this time, it turned out that Aleksis still loved him. If the girl had turned to another heart, which would have been very reasonable, considering that Alaric had only been with her for a week before being separated for ten years, Alaric didn't know if he would be able to watch the girl he loved build a family with another man.

If he had arrived late and Nicolae had already married Aleksis... and also had children from her, it would have been easier to cancel their one-week-old marriage rather than separating Aleksis from Nicolae.

Thinking about this, he could only take a deep breath and down a glass of wine.

I need a stronger drink than this, he thought.

Lauriel, who saw Alaric's anxiety, came over to his son and invited him to sit together. He was about to discuss tomorrow's event, which was originally prepared for Aleksis and Nicolae's wedding. It certainly could no longer be held now.

”Come here...” Lauriel talked to him gently, patting the chair next to him. He then gave a sign for the waiter to bring whiskey and two glasses. He also felt that he needed a stronger drink.

Alaric obediently sat next to him and received a glass from his father. The two of them sat together watching the party's excitement, and they both smiled. They both didn't like crowds, but this time, both of them could tolerate it because they were surrounded by close relatives.

”Tomorrow, almost all of the clan members will come to witness the wedding,” Lauriel said as he gulped down his whiskey. ”We have to do something.”

”Aleksis isn't allowed to marry Nicolae,” Alaric sternly stated. ”I'll take her away.”

”Aish... you're so short-tempered,” Lauriel commented. ”Your face is like Luna's, but your nature is very similar to mine. But even I'm not as short-tempered as I used to be.”

He smiled proudly when he said that. It was true, he soon realized that although Alaric's face was very similar to his girlfriend, the young man's nature was truly inherited from him. Even now, people passing by could see that their outfit styles and the way they sat were similar.

Alaric smiled wryly. He had also realized the same thing. ”I just want to be strict. There will obviously be no wedding, and there is nothing to talk about anymore.”

”That's not what I meant...” Lauriel waved his hand. ”You and Aleksis were married in secret, right? Why not just get married tomorrow and announce it in front of all the clan members? Wouldn't that be better?”

Alaric was stunned by Lauriel's words. He didn't think about it at all.

Publicly marry Aleksis?

He soon realized that the simple wedding they had had ten years ago in the 24-hour chapel in Sentosa was completely unfit for a woman as precious as Aleksis. The girl deserved the most magnificent and the grandest wedding, where everyone gave her blessings and wishes for her happiness... and Aleksis could be the queen of the day that many people admire.

”Tomorrow, all of the guests will still come. It 'd be strange if they only came to have a feast...” Lauriel continued.

Alaric cast his gaze at Aleksis, who was still dancing and chatting with Nicolae, and he finally nodded. ”I can't decide for myself. We should ask Aleksis what she wants.”

Lauriel nodded in agreement. Finally, after the song ended and the people who were dancing separated from their dance partners, Lauriel invited Aleksis and Nicolae to sit together with them. He also invited Finland and Caspar to discuss the future of their children.

”Here, take the antidote,” Nicolae offered, handing Aleksis a glass of the white potion. He then drank the antidote from his glass. A few minutes later, the two returned to their original appearances. Caspar and Finland also did so.

”This is the first time I find Aldebar's invention useful,” Caspar commented with a laugh.

”Tomorrow's party will definitely be festive with Aldebar's party refreshments,” Finland nodded in agreement.
