Chapter 557 - The Match Made In Heaven (1/2)

Alaric gently wiped his wife's eyes and whispered some words of love into her ears. He did this to ease the tension Aleksis was feeling. A few moments later, she finally nodded and voiced out, ”I do...”

Caspar smiled and stroked his daughter's head. ”Hereby, with the Heavens and Earth and every element in the universe as witnesses, I officially proclaim you two husband and wife. Let the love between you two, as the bride and groom, be everlasting in the neverending flow of time. May you live forever in endless happiness until death do you part. Now and forever.”

”Now and forever!” chorused all the guests to give their blessings, all done to show that the husband and wife were now acknowledged by the whole clan.

Beautiful music rang as Caspar placed his staff on top of Alaric's head, then Aleksis'. Following that, he hugged the two.

”I leave my daughter to you,” Caspar said firmly. Alaric nodded. The emotional clan leader continued, ”If you make Aleksis cry ...”

”I know, Uncle, if I make Aleksis cry; you, my father, my brother and Aleksis' brothers will kill me,” Alaric answered, almost laughingly.

”Don't forget about me,” said Aldebar behind Caspar, ”I will kill you slowly using my special torture device.”

”Father and Uncle, can you stop threatening my husband?” retorted Aleksis, who started to get annoyed.

Her solemn feeling had changed into resentment as she witnessed how Alaric had been repeatedly threatened with death... She knew her family was very reluctant to let her go, but that didn't mean they should continue to threaten him, right? Ugh …

”All right, I was just joking,” Aldebar said with a shrug.

”Not me. That wasn't a joke on my part,” Caspar shook his head. ”I have never joked when it comes to Aleksis' safety and happiness.”

”Alright, Uncle, I understand,” Alaric answered patiently.

He knew that there were so many men who loved her very much and were ready to defend her. Therefore, he must prove to all of them that he would be a good husband to her. He would prove to them that she wouldn't be treated any lesser than when she was still the only daughter of the Schneider family.

Alaric smiled at his furious wife and tightened his grip of her hand to calm her down, then he looked back to Caspar. ”Now, can I kiss my bride?”

Caspar seemed unwilling but finally nodded. Alaric smiled broadly and immediately pulled Aleksis to his chest and hugged her. He lovingly landed a hot kiss on his wife's lips.

Both of them embraced each other and closed their eyes, enjoying the touch of their bodies and the wonderful feeling on their lips. Their synchronized heartbeats sounded like joyful music because finally their marriage was formalized before their families and also recognized by the whole Alchemist clan.

”I love you,” Alaric whispered when the kiss ended. ”I can't wait to go home with you.”

Aleksis nodded softly. ”I love you, too.”

Alaric pulled her again to his chest and kissed the top of her head several times. Then when the orchestra played a very beautiful piece of music and Billie Yves performed her legendary song, ”You Are Enough”, he led her into a dance.

They danced together while the guests looked at them in awe.

The groom and bride were both so beautiful even for the Alchemists' standards.

They looked like a match made in heaven, thought the people as they watched Aleksis and Alaric gazed at each other lovingly, whispering words of affection as if there was no one else around them.
