Chapter 554 - Ill Kill You Myself (1/2)

”Let's all take a seat, the main event will start soon,” Portia said to the Blue family members who were still standing there, puzzled. Reluctantly yet curiously, Kit and her parents followed them, sitting and waiting for the event to officially commence.

Kit was still trying to look around to find Elios Linden. Disappointed, she finally gave up and sat down next to her mother. There was a frown on her immaculate face.

Caspar and Lauriel then entered the castle, meeting up with Alaric and Aleksis who were getting ready behind the huge wooden door.

”Alaric can get out now, you just wait up there with your brothers,” Caspar said. ”Later, we will bring Aleksis out.”

Alaric exchanged glances with his wife and then nodded.

”Hmm ... who will walk Aleksis down the aisle?” he asked Caspar and Lauriel. He knew Aleksis was Caspar's biological daughter, but she was also Lauriel's goddaughter. He wanted to know who, between Aleksis's two fathers would take her to the altar.

”Of course the two of us. We've talked about this,” Lauriel answered. ”By the way, even though you are my son, you must know that Aleksis is still my favorite child. Nicolae already knows this, but maybe you don't. I have to warn you from now on, if you ever make Aleksis cry, I'll kill you myself.”

His father's words stunned Alaric. He just realized that Lauriel loved Aleksis more than his own children.

”Father, just take it easy, if I make Aleksis cry, I will kill myself before you do,” he answered casually. He then kissed Aleksis on the lips and lightly walked out the door. Aleksis was extremely shocked and could only cover her lips with the back of her hand. She couldn't help feeling shy since she was kissed suddenly in front of her two fathers.

Caspar looked annoyed but he could not do anything. Whether he liked it or not, the reality was that Alaric was now his son-in-law and Aleksis, his favorite child, was really in love with that man. He could only press his chest with a hand, hoping that Aleksis' presence in Alaric's life would change many things about him, especially the mindset, that were making Caspar object to him as his son-in-law.

He and Lauriel looked at Alaric's back. They saw the man walking quietly down the aisle created between two rows of chairs, steadily advancing towards the stage where the wedding ceremony would take place.

They could hear muffled sounds from the guests who had seen Alaric nearing the center stage. Head after head looked up. The faces of the guests were then instantly filled with surprise.

Wasn't this ... Elios Linden? The heir to the Linden, Lewis, and Baden families… and the very owner of Rhionen Meier Industries?

Instantly the atmosphere at the garden party became intense. People began to exchange whispers with one another. Why was he walking on the aisle?

Some people thought Alaric was a guest who arrived late and was heading to his chair in the front to sit with Ned and Portia.

But then, they saw the Medici family's badge and emblem also embedded in his clothes. His expressionless face and purple eyes couldn't hide his happiness.

Everyone attentively watched him strode calmly forward. They tried to guess where he was going, the chair next to Ned ... or the stage where the wedding rites would be held.

Simultaneously, cries of surprise reverberated throughout the place when the guests saw Alaric walking toward the stage, approaching Nicolae. The latter embraced him with a smile, followed by Terry, London, and Rune.

Alaric then stood tall at the groom's place, completely ignoring the guests' faces that were all filled with questions and shock. Many women were sporting a mix of surprise and disappointment on their faces, because they just realized the famous Elios Linden was, in fact, the groom they had all been waiting for this afternoon.
