Chapter 356: Marriage Ceremony (1/2)

Davis also nodded his head in agreement. When he concentrated his soul sense on the robe while he had worn it, he could feel Karma Laws radiating from it in a vague amount as if it was non-existent.

Suddenly, Claire's face turned pale as the yellow-colored robe reverted into the grey colored one.

”Mother!” Davis was shocked as he saw this mother's face going pale, ”What happened?”

Claire instantly regained her bearings and shook her head, ”It's fine. I just removed my connection with the robe formed with a little bit of my Blood Essence...”

”What? How can you casually use your blood essence!?” Davis angrily bellowed.

It's been said that a human could only use 70% of their body's blood essence before dying a natural death sooner than their preordained original lifespan.

Anymore would likely result in a quick death with the loss of vitality, although it varies from person to person in most cases.

Claire's little bit of blood essence she used would constitute of 5 to 10% of her blood essence, which meant that she had used 1/10th of her potential when speaking in a broad manner but since the connection was temporary and not used up fully, the blood essence used is not completely used up.

In other words, around 50% of the blood essence used would return back to the user as long as the user is near.

Claire replied wryly, ”I wanted to check if the robe was a bogus or not... Besides, even without eating and heavenly resources, resting for a month will help me recover my blood essence...”

She then smiled, ”Well, from what I read from the notes placed with these mystical robes, it seems that it measures the purity of the yang or yin in someone's body through their blood essence...”

”The Blood Essence has such use?” Davis turned astonished.

”Who knows? At least, I haven't heard anything like this since my life was hell in the Alstreim Family Territory... So, that's why I wanted to check, and that it seems it really does...”

Davis understood a bit.

'So that was where the little bit of Karma Laws came into play...'

”So if I wear it and use my blood essence, what color will it change into?” He curiously asked.

”Why don't you try it?” Claire raised her eyebrows at him.

'Oh? You're trying to see whether I lost my virginity or not, eh?' Davis inwardly mused as he got the robe from her.

He condensed his vitality into a single drop of blood on the tip of his index finger and slit open that point.

A drop of blood fell on the mystical grey robe and he felt a vague connection with it before it turned clear. He wore it and the grey robe slowly changed into a bright red color.

Claire's eyes froze as her expression turned into one of disbelief, ”You still haven't made Evelynn your woman?”

Davis laughed as he saw the shock in her eyes, ”I haven't...”

From her dumbfounded expression, he could see her disbelief but didn't blame her. After all, he and Evelynn had stayed in the same room for weeks!

Who would believe him if someone said that he didn't do the deed with her!?

They wouldn't even believe the person in question!

Claire gave off a chuckle and said, ”Well, after seeing the results, I have no worries in letting you two use it on the day of the wedding ceremony.”

”You two? You tested it in Evelynn as well?”

Claire shook her head, ”I only decided to check this on me today. Where would I find the time to check her?”

”Then what's with your confident attitude?” Davis turned confused.

Claire smugly answered, ”I believe in her character...”

Davis was both glad and sad at the same time.

Although it meant that Claire had faith in Evelynn, didn't this also mean that she didn't believe in his character?

Well, that couldn't be helped. After all, he had been away from her eyes for 6 years.

He was also an adolescent boy when he left, so, anything could have changed at that time.

======

Two days later, on the eve of the wedding ceremony.

When the skies lit up, people had already congregated in front of the Royal Castle, waiting for the main event to take place. The streets, inns, plazas were packed to the brim, especially near the Royal Castle where one couldn't even see a spot of empty space when seen from above.

The skies were changing and it was now the eve of dusk.

Melodious music resounded in the background played by numerous musicians invited by the Royal Family.

In a height of 200 meters above the ground, at the platform extending from the Royal Castle stood a widely decorated altar that had two thrones on the edge, visible to the eyes of the common people who were all gazing from below.

The platform is where royal ceremonies took place in the eyes of the public and the altar was where the main character of that event would be present.

Behind the Altar were currently an entourage of people standing, running, or helping around organizing the proceedings of the event.

Another platform at the height of a hundred meters is where the Royal Family used to announce its edicts and decrees.

This was how the Loret Family celebrated public events or events relating to the public.

The Master of Ceremonies stood there and loudly stretched his voice, telling that it was time for the groom to arrive at the Altar.

On the ceremony platform, Davis came onto the widely open ceremony platform and stepped up the stairs to arrive at the altar.

He was dressed in that mystical robe but it was currently grey in color, yet it didn't curb his handsomeness in the slightest and with a little bit of work done over his face to make him look dazzling, he looked charming as well.

Although the grey robe gave off a dull feeling it would change with him utilizing his blood essence to change the color.

Below the altar, to the left stood his father, who accompanied him till he made it to the altar.

For this event, he had also dressed grandly, wearing a purple-colored dragon embroidered robes.

They both looked at each other for a second and laughed deliberately.

Below the altar's right, no one was present, not until the master of ceremonies announced for the arrival of the bride.

And as the announcement ended, Evelynn slowly walked towards the altar from the right while being accompanied by Claire.

She also wore a grey colored robe but that still didn't stop her curves from being hidden.

Once Evelynn stepped up the stairs and came into his view, it was almost like time had been stopped for him as he stared at her countenance.

From her modest manners to her slow yet blissful steps made him entranced, even forgetful enough to make him hold his breath for no reason.
