Celestial Bloodline

693  The Wedding I

After Kyle and Alec left, the elven Queen dispatched a team of elves to prepare for the wedding Kyle had requested. A sizable space next to the Tree of Fate's trunk was cleared, and the elves commenced crafting a beautiful setting for the ceremony.

The abrupt stir caught the attention of many elves in the vicinity, prompting them all to join in when they saw the Tree of Fate actively aiding in the preparations.

Not many knew about the identity of the couple tying the knot, but the elves worked seamlessly, their laughter and whispers enveloping the air with delight.

They decorated the area with flowers and positioned crystals that shimmered in the sunlight, creating a dazzling display. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation, a tangible excitement that seemed to dance among the leaves of the Tree of Fate.

As the preparations continued, tiny flowers made from pure spiritual energy started to cascade from the branches of the Tree of Fate, creating a soft, colorful rain.

The elves were thrilled to witness this rain; it was the blessing of the Tree of Fate that hadn't been seen for countless years.

Kyle and the others who were informed about the wedding venue by Wesley and another elven woman were amazed when they arrived at the location in the evening.

Yue extended her hand to touch the numerous flowers crafted from spiritual energy floating around her. She stole a glance at Kyle, who was standing next to her, and her heart skipped a beat.

'So... we're really getting married!'

She fiddled with her dress, feeling super nervous yet excited simultaneously. Yue closed her eyes for a few moments and took a deep breath.

She recalled how not long ago they had all talked about their future plans; they would all separate after her and Kyle's wedding.

She hadn't yet decided if she would follow Kyle or the others to join the war since Kyle hadn't decided his next move yet. Thinking about all this, she finally felt much calmer.

Kyle noticed her flushed face and drew nearer, encircling his arm around her waist, oblivious to the fact that his gestures once again sparked her nervousness.

His eyes gleamed with amusement as he observed the growing number of elves in the vicinity with each passing second.

"This place looks good... but why are so many elves preparing for the wedding? Do they even know who's tying the knot?"

Yue blushed and pushed him away.

"How would I know!"

Kyle laughed and started observing the elves working around him. He glanced at Bia and Nox. The two beasts were flying in the distance, playing with the flowers made of spiritual energy. Or perhaps, he mused, were they secretly absorbing them?

Just a couple of strides from him, Jian glanced at the tiny flowers made of spiritual energy cascading down from the branches of the Tree of Fate and sighed.

"I'm so envious... I want a partner too! I want to get married as well!"

He muttered quietly. Asher, Regius, and Sinon sympathetically patted his back, knowing they shared the same wish. Yon and Susan chuckled at the red-haired man before Yon slapped Jian's back.

"Why do you want to get married? Given your luck, I don't think you will ever find a partner. However, staying single isn't bad either. You can always get married when you find the right string in the universe."

Jian's lips curled into a wide smirk as he deftly pushed Yon's hand back.

"You never know, maybe my luck's taken a turn for the better! Hehe, it might be on par with Kyle's now! I mean, I got rid of that pesky artifact Zron placed in my body!"

He was left speechless as Yon and the others gave him sympathetic glances as if they could empathize with his suffering. Jian clenched his jaw in frustration.

"I am telling the truth! My luck has gotten better! Why don't you guys believe me!?"

Nine nodded at him, yet his golden eyes were telling a different story altogether.

Jian muttered a curse and glanced at his luck stat displayed on the image showing his stats from the corners of his eyes.

"Alright, don't trust me!"

Jian let out a chuckle. His mood improved when he checked his luck stat. It used to be just (-) in the past, but now it's at (B+)-rank! Everything had changed now!

"It's not like if no one believed me, my luck would plummet, because I'm certain I'm as fortunate as Kyle now!"

Alec and Carcel approached Wesley, who had just arrived at the scene, to inquire if the elves had arranged an outfit for Kyle, similar to what they did for Yue.

23:01

Wesley simply provided Alec with the location of a nearby clothing store, wearing a weary look after glancing at the duo.

He glanced around and noticed Kyle standing quite a distance away from him and the others with Yue.

'Well, it's his day. I doubt I will have a chance to talk to Kyle alone before leaving for the blue planet. I wanted to remind him of the promise he forgot. But it's his biggest secret; maybe it's best if I don't pry into it.'

Jian was startled when Alec and Nine pushed him back and headed towards Kyle. Nine swiftly grabbed Kyle with a frown.

"What the heck are you two doing? You both need to change into nicer attire! The wedding location is nearly ready!"

He intended to ask Mia, Elli, and Lara to help Yue get ready, only to notice that they had already surrounded Yue, with several other elven women who were informed by an elf that Yue was the bride. Iva smiled and silently followed behind as the ladies escorted Yue away.

Kyle gazed at Yue's fading image for a moment. A smile played on the corners of his lips. He hadn't anticipated that the elven Queen would organize everything in such a short time, but he appreciated it.

'I will express my gratitude to her later.'

He looked at Nine and the others who had arrived beside him with a sigh.

"Really? My outfit is already fine."

He was taken aback when Sinon suddenly grabbed the collar of his shirt.

"This is not okay at all! This is too plain! Let's go ask the elves; I'm sure they have prepared a good outfit for you too!"

Kyle swiftly withdrew his hand with a strained smile.

"Okay, but don't grab the shirt."

Alec and Carcel approached Wesley, who had just arrived at the scene, to inquire if the elves had arranged an outfit for Kyle, similar to what they did for Yue.

Wesley simply provided Alec with the location of a nearby clothing store, wearing a weary look after glancing at the duo.

"I am not sure what kind of clothes Kyle prefers. Take him to this place, and he can choose what he wants."

The pair left him be and, together with others, dragged Kyle away. They didn't really have to do anything, but they would at least assist him in choosing a nice outfit. Kyle sighed and went along with them.
