Chapter 356 - End of the war

While Astrid was basking in happiness from his previous words, Viljar chuckled at Erik, "Although I'm pretty sure she never imagined you with multiple wives, so you might want to prepare your speech for when you meet her again." 

Erik groaned a little as he wasn't looking forward to that conversation. But then he shrugged, "Well, I'm sure she'll understand. And even if she doesn't, she'll get over it." 

Viljar grinned and nodded, "Probably right. She loves you far too much to let something like that get between you. Anyway, I hope you don't mind I decided to step in just now." 

In the background, the crowd continued to cheer for the happy couple and, surprisingly, the cheers became more sincere as time passed. 'I guess they wanted something to celebrate, but needed a little push to get over themselves,' Erik realized wryly.
