Chapter 467 - Far From Over
Qia then left through the back door without turning back. As for Rean, he could only sigh as he returned to the wedding hall.
'Things are a lot more complicated than I thought. Oh, well. Since you don't want to give up, then I won't either. Let's see who can last longer.'
[Are you really not considering on taking her?]
'What do you mean by taking her? You know very well what awaits us in the future. Stop trying to make it more difficult than it already is.'
[Of course, I know! Still, I can't help but feel a little sad after she showed that much determination. Are you saying that you really felt nothing after that?]
'Hey, I'm not made of wood. Let alone me, any man would have felt their heart race after such an event. But that's all there is. I have no intention of bringing her into the mess that is the two halves of the Universe.'
[She did say that you don't need to bring her with you. Isn't that fine?]
Rean shook his head as he replied.
'I would feel too worried about her and a possible family if I went along with it. I don't need that burden. Besides, there's one point that you have to understand, Sister Orb. I don't love her one bit.'
[This...]
[Fine! It would be wrong to do that since one of the sides doesn't love the other.]
'Exactly. Now, let's focus on the marriage and then head back to Dalamu.'
Around an hour later, the most important guest had finally appeared. Obviously, it was none other than the Fifth Prince, Salael Sasamil. One of the two main contenders for the throne. Rean and Roan looked at the guy and could easily tell that he wasn't a weakling. Although he looked to be around his early forties, his actual age was definitely several times higher than that.
Old Worm was there as well, so he told the two with a Spiritual Sense message.
'Definitely above the Soul Forging Realm. If I were to guess, he's around the middle or late stage Saint Realm.'
The twins nodded. They already expected him to be around that realm.
Salael then went up to the stage before looking at everyone.
"Thank you for attending my granddaughter's wedding. I can't start to explain how happy I am for her today. When I first heard about her relationship with Rean, I was quite surprised. However, I quickly came to understand. Both of them love formations, so it's not incredibly surprising that they developed feelings for each other..."
Salael then continued his speech for a few more minutes. None of the guests found it weird since it was a tradition in the Sasamil Imperial Family. After that, Nivol and Ariana also talked with the guests and gave their own words. Turen and Harmalia were also invited to the stage. However, they quickly refused. This kind of situation was too foreign for the two.
Last but not least, Droman was invited to talk a bit as well. After all, this marriage was happening because of his connection to Rean. Droman couldn't shame the Dalamu Sect, so he also had a speech prepared a long time ago.
Eventually, the wedding ceremony started. The hall door opened as Qia entered the room with her father and mother on each side. Sure enough, there were quite a few differences between this wedding ceremony that Rean saw in the Varen Tribe or back on Earth. And it wasn't just at the size of it.
Nonetheless, everything proceeded smoothly. Cultivators didn't really believe in things like gods, so there was no pledge made to them in this ceremony. For them, being a god meant that you had cultivated enough to reach that point. It was more of a formal thing.
Of course, one thing didn't change between all marriages, the ending kiss at the end. Rean had done it many times, so he repeated that once again with Qia. Well, he could tell that Qia was really looking forward to it, though.
And so, the ceremony was over as the banquet had begun.
A big table had been separated for the main guests, with the fifth prince at the center. Qia and Rean were on both of his sides, followed by their parents.
"Rean Larks, you better take care of this granddaughter of mine. She's very talented, so I don't want to see her cultivation stagnating now."
Rean nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry, Senior Salael. I'll be sure to treasure her until the very end. I won't do such a thing as hindering her path since I also want her to live as long as possible by my side."
Salael was satisfied with that answer.
"Qia, you've got a good husband. His master's status as the creator of the Communication System is important to you, your husband, and the Imperial Family in the future too. Make sure you treat them with respect."
Qia immediately nodded with a serious expression. Anyone could tell that even this prideful girl feared this loft existence that was her grandfather. Well, no one in the wedding hall would dare to offend Salael at this point.
It was then that the door of the hall opened as another guest entered. As soon as Salael saw him, his expression turned dark.
It was none other than the first prince, Lamares Sasamil! Of course, he was also known as Salael's oldest brother.
"Hahaha! My beloved young brother, please forgive your oldest brother for his late appearance. Still, I wouldn't do such a thing as not appearing for your granddaughter's marriage. It's just that I didn't get an invitation. Is it okay for me to be here?"
Rean saw Lamares looking at him with a hint of interest. However, that only made Rean feel quite pressured. Fortunately, it only lasted a second as his attention went back to Salael.
Salael then took a deep breath before smiling back at Lamares.
"Hahaha! How could I complain about such a small thing, big brother? I know how busy you are, so I didn't want to bother you. You're obviously more than welcome."
This wedding ceremony... was far from over.
