Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate Chapter 1232 After Story: You May Now Kiss Your Brides
Previously on Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate...
Today marked a momentous occasion.
It was the day Lux Von Kaizer would wed his beloved lovers.
The ceremony was set on the floating island, now anchored right outside the Fynn Kingdom's Capital City.
Prominent figures from across Elysium and Solais flocked to the venue, eager to witness the grandest wedding ever in world history.
The event unfolded before the Headquarters of Heaven's Gate, now packed to capacity with eager guests.
Those who couldn't snag prime seats observed from the decks of their flying ships high in the sky.
The groom paced restlessly at the improvised altar beside his father and mother, a mix of excitement and anxiety surging through him. "Are you nervous?" Adeline asked, smoothing imaginary creases from Lux's black suit with her hand.
"Yes, Mother," Lux answered. "Hah! Even with all your power, you still get cold feet?" Vincent, Lux's birth father, teased. "But I must say, all your wives are stunningly beautiful. I wonder if I should marry more wome-arggggh! It was just a joke, Adeline! Just a joke!"
The lovely Elf swiftly pinched Vincent's waist, drawing a pained yelp from him.
"Care to repeat that?" Adeline inquired. "I didn't catch it clearly the first time."
"Wife, I love only you," Vincent hastily replied in a worried tone. "That's why I've never married anyone else since we got together."
"Uh-huh, so what was that about marrying more women?"
"Marry what? How could I when I already have the world's best woman? Ridiculous!"
Lux stifled an internal laugh while watching his henpecked father squirm under his mother's control.
Adeline was poised to say more but held back upon spotting two adorable little girls scattering flower petals along the carpeted path.
One boasted long blue hair and blue eyes, the other long blonde hair and golden eyes. Dressed in blue and yellow gowns that matched their hair and eyes perfectly.
These charming girls were Eiko and Fei Fei.
Like Eiko, Fei Fei had acquired the power to shift into human form. Selected as flower girls, they beamed with joy while tossing petals. Trailing them, the Sea Otter Lucky floated a meter off the ground, carrying the Dim Sum God, Dim Dim, on his back, who showered petals all around. Witnessing this, Adeline tugged her husband's hand, leading them to the front seats where they sat.
The brides had arrived, and Lux's gaze grew tender as he watched them process down the aisle.
Iris walked arm-in-arm with her father, Alexander.
Cai accompanied by her grandpa, Maximilian. Valerie by her father, King Azza.
Aurelia escorted by her father, Keoza.
Aina and Luna guided by Victor. With no living family left besides Aina, King Victor chose to walk Luna to the altar, treating her as family.
Ali and Ari led by their father, Tirion, whom Lux had met only three times since the war's end.
Aurora walked with her father, King Septimius, while Queen Rhiannon was accompanied by Antero in human form.
With in-laws comprising the mightiest powers in Elysium and Solais, Lux undeniably held the greatest influence across both realms.
One groom facing ten brides. Spectators gazed on with joyful smiles, including Princess Anastasia and Henrietta, unaware they'd wed him in a year's time.
Lux positioned himself at the center, his wives arrayed behind him.
Once all assembled, an eyepatch-wearing elder approached the altar clutching a book.
He scanned the crowd and lifted his hand, signaling silence.
"We gather here today to unite this young man and these lovely ladies in sacred matrimony," James declared with a grin. "Bound by love and devotion, they choose to share their lives as husband and wives."
"But before proceeding, if anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace."
After James's words, Asmodeus rose and faced the guests attending his Master's wedding.
"If any of you seek death, speak now or hold your tongue forever," Asmodeus warned. Diablo, Ishtar, Pazuzu, and Lux's other Named Creatures stood ready to crush any disruptors threatening their Master's joy. With silence reigning, James smiled and turned to the groom and brides. "Today, as you enter marriage, an expansive, uncertain future awaits," James intoned gently. "The vast potentials of your union rest on you, tasked with forging your values and realizing your dreams.
"Through mutual commitment, may you cultivate a love that elevates you all. A love bringing endless joy, fueling passion for life, and granting strength to meet its duties."
"May you always need each other, not to fill voids, but to reveal your completeness. May you desire one another, not from scarcity. May you embrace, yet not enclose. May you thrive together in great matters, falter not in small kindnesses. May happiness be yours, found in each other's joy. May love abound, discovered in loving one another."
James nodded toward the two little girls.
Eiko and Fei Fei approached the altar bearing the box of wedding rings.
Lux selected a ring and slipped it tenderly onto Iris's ring finger.
He repeated the gesture for each bride until all wore their bands.
"I pledge today all the patience and passion love requires. In joy and quiet, I'll stand by your sides eternally," Lux vowed. "Your love inspires my hope. Your smiles spark my joy; each of you betters me.
"Forever with you won't suffice, but from now on, I swear to cherish every instant."
Cai and the rest recited their vows, melting Lux's heart within.
Last came Iris, sliding Lux's ring onto his finger. "For us all, we vow to honor, love, and treasure you as husband from this day forth," Iris promised. "Our love for you burns wordlessly, shown in kisses, looks, and endless adventures together.
"Today we're the world's happiest women, knowing our joy has just begun."
Vows complete, James lifted his hands as soft heavenly light cascaded down, blessing the groom and brides.
"By the authority granted me, I pronounce you husband and wives. Kiss your brides!"
Thunderous cheers and claps echoed as Lux kissed each bride in turn.
Lux and his brides processioned down the aisle, bathed in everyone's blessings.
Minutes later, Iris tossed her bouquet—a tradition from Earth Lux sought to bring to Elysium and Solais.
Astonishingly, Lux's Grandmaster Hereswith snatched it, grinning in delight.
Lux explained the superstition: bouquet catcher weds next.
Though unsure if Hereswith would marry, Lux earnestly hoped she'd find lifelong happiness.
That evening, Lux honeymooned with his wives in the Fynn Kingdom's most breathtaking spot, reveling in their boundless love and fervor for him.
