Married

Standing in the room we hear the bell ringing signaling that it is time for us to get ready and send both the bride and groom out and down the aisle.

Elder Luke then spoke up.

"Child I have raised you the best I can, even when all the others wanted you to abandon me you stayed by my side. Today I will be here for you as you marry into the Royal Family, so don't let your nerves get the best of you.

Was it not you who wanted this more than any of the other Elite's and Young Masters?"

Tapping Tes's shoulder Elder Luke walked out of the room waiting for everyone to all walk out.

Tes was dressed in a military suit that he wanted to wear, it was black and his silver metal cuffs made him stand out, he looked over at me and smiled as best he could. Although it was a bitter smile he did fit the look of a handsome young prince marrying a princess.

Turning my head away I walked out, following behind Elder Luke this caused the old man to visibly sweat as he lead our group out and towards the front of the wedding venue.

Many of the Major powers and their Elders held their breaths as they saw Elders Luke's young face knowing I must have done something to help the man regain his lost cultivation. They were even more shocked at the fact that I walked behind him and allowed him to lead our group.

The look in their eyes were of shock awe and greed, they had long since had members who were crippled out in the field during the wars and wished to undo it to restore their foundations as well as help those who were hurt once again rise from being powerless.

Knowing this would cause a great commotion within the Empire I had already informed the Pill Hall to offer this treatment to those crippled during the war, and for those who are found to be loyal to the Empire.

I could never turn away more troops for I will be setting up the Realm Wars after this wedding.

Once the Realm Wars started I will have to rely on a single Realm or the other Void Gods hiding would know that I already hold three Realms. Lilly has told me that of the 72 Realms she created each of the 50 Higher Realms have 5 to 10 Void Gods, this does not include the hidden ones.

With this on my mind I find myself standing face to face with Ayer and her smile wakes me up from my thoughts.

"Little girl don't make me have to beat you half to death, while I approve of this wedding I wished you waited instead of rushing away from me. I know you were afraid that you would be influenced by your sisters behavior....

It doesn't matter anymore just remember not to break my General I need him to be as fiery as this in the coming wars."

With that said, I turned to see the sweat drenched Tes who ruined his image of a gallant youth marrying a princess.

Then I turn to see the sweet smile on the faces of both Tiffany and Leta, the look Tiffany gives me is the same as Ayer they were both raised inside the Palace since young and I treated both the same.

As for Leta she was overjoyed as she kept peeking at Tes, this girl will be able to let Tes balance his newfound harem.

With her both Tiffany and Ayer who are aggressive would have to think twice about bullying young Tes with this soft flower next to him at all times otherwise they would find themselves neglected.

A few of my wives sensed these motives and informed both girls making me catch angry glares from both of them.

While both Tes and Leta only looked on in confusion along with most of those in attendance, I wasted no time as I made my way to the table were the Crest Clan Elders seem to have finally recovered.

Veshara handed Tes and his wives a gift each, all from me and my wives then she made her way to me.

Following behind her were the others with Vivian in the lead behind Veshara, and behind her is the shy Empress Elina standing side by side with Persephone with a few others behind them.

Soon my wives were seated all around me making it hard for the Elders of the Crest Clan to remain, they quickly knew to remove themselves and began to make room. When Richard was about to move he found he was unable to, he then saw that Empress Valara was telling him he can stay.

He nodded his head an no longer tried to 'escape' then tried his best to stop his shaky hand from spilling the drink he grabbed to calm his nerves.

I looked over at him and found him to be in the same state he was in back when we first met, during that time he was a youth who had yet to take over for his father.

Thinking back on that I look over and spot Vesta and Larisa both smiling at me and then give a light nod to Richard who is lost in thought.

Vivian then signals for the wedding to officially start.

Once it started I saw the three brides wearing very alluring dresses designed to tempt young Tes.

Each wearing the same dress shocking the crowd, they were happy to see that the other two brides were able to shine just as much as Princess Ayer. The only thing that was to her advantage was her stunning looks being able to match the black and green dress.

Her scales were visible and it enchanted the young males in attendance, they soon sent stares of death at Tes. He was feeling the pressure but as he looked at all the envious and jealous faces his old demeanor came back and he was gloating with a smug smile.

He walked over and took Ayer's hands while looking at all those youths who tried to take his woman.

Ayer only smiled as she allowed Tes to act this way.

They were sitting here provoking him and now he was doing the same, soon the aura of the youths clashed in the air as they wanted to beat up the young future Prince Tes.

Tes was about to wrap his hands around Ayers waist when his three wives surrounded him, with Ayer in front Tiffany on his left and Leta on his right. He then saw Ayer give the audience a death stare that made them all quiet.

She wanted her wedding to be more than her father's games and shut up everyone so she and the other two could enjoy this moment.

I smiled at her as I watched her mother Persephone be the one to give her away to Tes Twine.

Persephone then looked back at me and saw my smile and quickly came to my side, Ayer had a bitter smile on her face as she looked into Tes's eyes. While she did so she heard the Priest reciting his lines as he followed tradition and married the four youths.

While she was looking deep into Tes's eyes she felt a surge of her power condensing together and then merge with Tes, Tiffany and Leta shocking the crowd.

The power that shot out of her was that of a chain that linked the four together, soon after they each met each others eyes as thousands of emotions were felt between them.

They then looked over at me along with everyone in attendance.

Standing up and appearing on the stage I stood next to the Priest as I spoke.

"Why the shock? This is normal for all Guardians, as you are my child those who you vow to marry are bonded to you and you to them. This will allow you to deepen your love and understanding of each other in the years to come, I will give you all a bit of advice now that will aid you later in life!

Don't think to loud." Giving Vivian and Valara a look I left the wedding Hall.

Everyone then looked over at the shocked but happy faces of the four youths, then they saw another shocking seen before their eyes.

The young girl Leta who was only within the Heaven Realm suddenly emitted the aura of a Pathless God.

Thinking it was over they saw the four youths powers merge, fuse and mix between the four of them before stopping after each of their powers held a bit of each others and evolved then return to the confused youths.

This was the first time they were seeing such a sight, they tried to think back to when the Emperor's few sons married and this had never happened.

Thinking back they were told that each of the brides of each son possessed an extra heart but that was only learned when they asked their female family members about the private ritual that he held before their weddings.

What they were seeing now was vastly different from what their daughters said happened to them.

While they wanted an explanation they could not really ask for the secrets that the Emperor did not wish to disclose. They could only send their Clans Empresses messages to beg for information.

Soon everyone noticed that while their messages were sent successfully all the Empresses had vanished when the Emperor left, the only Royals still left in attendance were the various Princes who were now gifting young Tes and the girls.

Leon was the first to rush out and gift Tes and Ayer as for Tiffany and Leta his wives who accompanied him presented gifts for them. This happened for all the Princes as they had their wives gift Tiffany and Leta while they gave gifts to their sister and her husband and fellow Prince Tes.

Tiffany was not hurt or surprised by this as the Emperor did not gift any of the wives his sons married only his wives did, they suspected it was some Guardian Race Tradition.

Only it was his sons and wives plan for him to stay away from these girls less they be eating by him.

As everyone was gifting out presents, high in the sky while the party was underway I looked on while floating in the sky. The smile on my face while I watched my children and Tes get along made me look into space as I was deep thought.

Walking up to me Valara held my hand while a bold Sophia came from behind me and hugged me.

The others then bunched up against me, each reaching out trying to ease my mind. I then felt the gazes of the few experts who noticed I did not truly leave and only left the wedding hall so the attention could be on the bride's and Tes.

Ayer then sent me few sweet words.

"Thanks Dad! Thank you for letting me have my way, I know you wanted me to marry him when I was finished with my training but I want to start a family and show the others my happiness.

I know that my sisters and mothers want to help me raise a few kids and that is what I am planning on doing, so don't you mess with Tes for awhile or I will make my mother give you the cold shoulder."

When Ayer threatened me I could only laugh, that little shit thinks Persephone would ever defy me makes me chuckle. As I was about to speak and give this girl a lesson Persephone spoke and the others sent me messages agreeing with Ayer's words.

"We have all agreed that we would hold in our lust until you left with us and let Tes and his new brides settle down and have children. While this will take a few years this means that we get to spend all this time alone with you, or do you want to be starved and continue messing with Tes?
