Vane questioned Julius's plan to confront Armand, advocating for more intelligence gathering. Julius and Angrar dismissed Vane's concerns, ordering him to undertake the intelligence mission himself with a three-month deadline. Vane, angered by the perceived slight and his leader's arrogance, reluctantly accepted, vowing to gather information on Armand and the lost divine weapons.

Chapter 1255: Unity and Joy ( 1255 )

The Armand Nation.

Celebrations erupted in every town hall and village square across the Armand Nation, including the Arjam region. Gold and crimson banners danced in the wind, and the streets were adorned with vibrant decorations.

In Gaze City.

Citizens—men, women, children, merchants, and laborers—congregated around immense Holo TVs erected in public squares. Long tables, laden with food provided by the town hall and local villages, were filled as the nation shared in the festivities.

“It’s Prince Aelius’s wedding day!” a young girl exclaimed with obvious excitement.

Nearby, a group of young women emitted sighs of disappointment, their shoulders slumping.

“I wish I could be his second wife or something…” one of them murmured wistfully.

“But everyone says our prince won’t even glance at other girls.”

“Indeed, I heard the wealthy merchant’s daughter, who attended the weddings of Prince Marcellus, Prince Cedric, and Prince Heres, attempted to get close to Prince Aelius, but he politely declined. He’s always so composed and kind, yet… his heart belongs only to Princess Athine.”

“Mm, I heard that too. He shows everyone respect, but his affections are solely hers.”

“Ah~ If only Prince Aelius were more like his other siblings…”

“Well~ Prince Javier is still unmarried, isn’t he?” one girl inquired hopefully.

“Hah! In your wildest dreams. Did you not see his first betrothed? An elf of incredible beauty.”

“Yes, not to mention the two beastkin princesses and the demon princess.”

“Ah~ Princess Delya?”

“Precisely~”

A cluster of single men in the vicinity overheard the discussion and let out chuckles.

“Hey, don’t forget he also has that gorgeous maid with glasses…” one guy remarked, using his hands to draw attention to her notable features. “Gloria, you know? She’s stunning, and she’s perpetually by his side.”

The girls scoffed, rolling their eyes.

“Men… always fixated on breasts. Do all guys only notice boobs!?” one girl retorted indignantly, crossing her arms protectively over her chest.

“What? Guys don’t exclusively look at that,” one of the young men replied, awkwardly scratching his cheek. “It’s… a matter of personal taste, you understand? Everyone has their own preferences.”

Another guy grinned, shrugging his shoulders. “Some favor a pretty face, others are indifferent. Each to their own.”

Just as another fellow was about to chime in, the crowd’s collective gaze snapped to the enormous Holo screen.

Princess Athine was making her way towards the wedding altar.

The ceremony unfolded in the garden courtyard of the Armand Estate, beneath a colossal, ancient tree where Aelius and Athine had frolicked since their youth. Its branches, bedecked with luminous crystals and delicate blossoms, formed a breathtaking canopy of shimmering light.

All the men present, from wealthy merchants to humble laborers, fell into a hushed silence of pure admiration.

“Ah~ The Flower of Armand…” one man whispered, utterly captivated.

“Indeed. The very embodiment of grace and beauty,” another murmured reverently.

“A beauty that graces the world only once per generation…”

“We are profoundly fortunate to exist in the same era as the Princess.”

“She is simply exquisite…”

Even the married men remained transfixed, their eyes glued to the screen, until their wives, with sharp pinches or ear tugs, jolted them back to awareness, their faces etched with jealous glares.

Meanwhile.

Within the Armand Estate.

The mana camera crew, attired in formal Armand regalia, wielded specialized mana cameras and recording apparatus, documenting Princess Athine’s graceful procession toward the altar. A retinue of elegantly attired Armand maids followed in her wake, their steps gentle and perfectly synchronized.

Athine offered a radiant smile and a graceful wave to the camera, her expression overflowing with unadulterated joy and warmth. Her smile was utterly captivating, beaming with genuine happiness and refined grace.

One of the lead crew members bowed respectfully toward Athine.

“Your Highness, would you be so kind as to share a few words with the nation’s viewers?”

Athine paused, turning with fluid grace towards the mana camera. Her pristine white wedding gown shimmered beneath the sun’s rays, intricately woven with delicate silver threads that glittered like morning dew. She clasped her hands demurely before her and bestowed a warm, resplendent smile.

“To all the people of Armand, and to everyone watching from afar, thank you for joining us in celebrating this momentous occasion. Today, we commemorate not merely our union, but the profound unity and shared joy of our entire nation. May this day bring happiness into every home, and may our future be abundantly blessed with peace and prosperity for all.”

She offered another gentle wave before resuming her elegant walk toward the altar.

Aelius stood at the wedding altar beneath the ancient tree, his heart pounding with every step Athine took towards him. His gaze remained fixed on her as she advanced, her white gown flowing like ethereal morning mist, her face illuminated by a soft, radiant luminescence.

At last.

The day I have yearned for has arrived.

After all these years… after cherishing this dream since our childhood…

She is finally going to be mine. Officially. In the sight of the gods, our family, and the entire realm.

He swallowed, his chest constricting with overwhelming emotion.

I never believed this moment would arrive. I thought our devotion would eternally remain a hidden affair, a secret shared only in hushed instances when observers were absent.

Hope for its reality was a luxury I dared not indulge.

Yet, Father comprehended. He bestowed his blessing upon us. And Lady Mother Francesca… her smile blossomed as she declared our love a divine gift, not a curse. She affirmed the Crystal of Fate bound us with purpose, and that purpose was manifest now.

And now, she approaches me. My sister. My beloved. My soon-to-be wife.

These reflections were abruptly halted by Javier's voice cutting in beside him.

“Hey. Cease daydreaming about her already. You’ll make a fool of yourself before the ceremony even begins.”

“W-what? Hey, little brother, stop with the odd remarks.” Aelius retorted, a slight flush coloring his cheeks.

“Yes, yes. I recognize that expression well. Refrain from gazing at me with that lovesick adoration. You are meant to be a dignified prince, not a lovesick puppy.” Javier shot back with a smirk, adjusting the ring box nestled in his hands.

Aelius opened his mouth, ready to fire back a sharp retort, but the words dissolved on his tongue as Athine finally reached the altar. Her eyes met his, a gentle, loving smile gracing her lips.

“You have finally arrived. Today marks the day our family, the gods, and the entire nation will witness us become one.

“Be patient,” Prince Aelius said, his voice a soft murmur as he faced his brother, Javier. A nervous flutter stirred within him. “I know. It feels surreal, doesn’t it? Is… is the ring ready?”

“Of course, it is,” Javier replied, a small smile gracing his lips as he shifted the ring box in his hand. “Do you doubt my capabilities? You are the elder prince, after all. But it is the elder prince that must always be composed. Don’t let your nerves get the better of you.

“I’m simply overwhelmed,” Aelius admitted, his gaze drifting towards the altar where Athine stood, radiant. “I never thought… I never thought this day would come.

“But with the Crystal of Fate, it was inevitable. Father, Mother, they all accepted it. And now… now she’s mine.”

The crowd watched, breathless, as Athine ascended the steps to the altar, her eyes holding Aelius’s gaze.

“Will you take her hand?” Javier prompted, nudging his brother lightly.

Aelius’s breath hitched. He offered his hand, his heart pounding a frantic rhythm against his ribs.

She placed her hand in his, her touch sending a jolt of pure bliss through his entire being.

And then, the world seemed to fade away as their eyes locked, a silent promise passing between them amidst the hushed anticipation of the gathered guests.

“I love you,” he whispered, the words barely audible but carrying the weight of a thousand unspoken vows.

“And I love you,” she replied, her voice filled with a matching intensity.

Their union, blessed by fate and sealed by love, was about to commence.

The air shimmered with a palpable energy as the officiant began the ceremony, their voices resonating through the grand hall.

“Do you, Prince Aelius, take Princess Athine to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part?”

Aelius’s voice was clear and strong as he answered, “I do.”

“And do you, Princess Athine, take Prince Aelius to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part?”

Athine’s response was equally firm, her love for Aelius shining in her eyes, “I do.”

“Then, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”

Aelius, his heart overflowing with joyous emotion, gently cupped Athine’s face and leaned in. Their lips met in a tender, passionate kiss, sealing their union and igniting a spark that promised a lifetime of shared love and devotion.

The hall erupted in thunderous applause as the newlywed couple turned to face their jubilant subjects, their love story now forever etched into the annals of the kingdom.

“It’s a beautiful day,” Javier remarked, a genuine smile on his face as he watched his brother and new sister-in-law.

“Indeed, it is,” Aelius agreed, his arm secure around Athine’s waist. “A perfect day.”

Athine simply leaned into him, her heart content. This was everything she had ever dreamed of, and more.

The Crystal of Fate had indeed bound them for a reason, and its purpose was now gloriously fulfilled.

The legacy of their love would now begin.

“Congratulations, my dear brother,” Javier said, raising a goblet of fine wine. “May your life together be filled with endless joy and prosperity.”

“Thank you, Javier,” Aelius replied, returning the sentiment. “You have always been a steadfast support. I could not have done this without you.”

“Nonsense,” Javier chuckled. “Seeing you happy is all the reward I need.

“Now, go. Enjoy your first dance as husband and wife.”

Aelius led Athine to the dance floor, their movements blending in a graceful waltz. The music swelled around them, a fitting soundtrack to their burgeoning love.

As they danced, Aelius whispered, “This is just the beginning, my love.”

Athine smiled, her heart full. “And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Their journey together, guided by destiny and illuminated by love, was set to be an extraordinary one.

The cheers of the guests echoed their own happiness, a testament to the profound love that had brought them to this sacred moment.

“Look at them,” a distinguished Elder remarked to another, his eyes twinkling with wisdom. “A match truly made in the heavens.”

The other Elder nodded in agreement. “Their bond is powerful, fueled by a love that transcends ordinary means. The future of our Sect looks brighter than ever.”

“Indeed,” the first Elder concurred. “May their union bring forth prosperity and peace for generations to come.

The celebration continued late into the night, a joyous affair filled with laughter, music, and the heartfelt blessings of all those who cherished the happy couple.

Aelius and Athine, lost in each other’s embrace, knew that their story was only just beginning, a tale destined to be told for ages.

The prophecy of the Crystal of Fate had unfolded, weaving their lives together in an unbreakable tapestry of love and destiny.

Their combined Qi flowed, intertwining with the very essence of their spirits, a testament to the profound connection they shared.

The foundation of their new life together was firmly established, built on a love as strong and enduring as the Dao itself.

As they looked towards the horizon, a future filled with endless possibilities awaited them, ready to be shaped by their shared ambition and unwavering devotion.
