119. ..Maybe, it's not Absurd. *

The bloody weddings kept continued the only difference is was conducted by a first fidgety but, soon much more confident, Menir Limt.

We forced to smiled through them until the last one was just two days away.

Setil Emil and Stuart Boolt.

She said it was because the others happiness came first but, really just wanted her wedding to be more special..who could blame her?

She was letting Mother and granny took over most of the planning while begging me..

" Please..ask Zephyr to bring some of the sweets you had at yours and to take Stuart to buy a gemstone so Rachel could work into this. " - she showed me a black ring.

I was foolish and gave her one of the left over necklace from Emet claw which then were reshaped by Rachel and Olaf into a ring and now Stuart have to spend whatever coin he saved on a gemstone of some kind.

Now just needed my ..charms to convince the porter who happened to be my husband.

She knew, I couldn't refuse. " Fine..I'll do my best for your happy day."

" That should be Eeenough..ouch.." - she took my light punch, I had to give not to injure this little shameless peach. " Your ring finger actually hurts."

She took my hand and gazed into the purple stone.

" What's this called again? "

" Zephyr called it, Sapphire.."

The others surrounded my hand like the day I first placed it there and marveled at the colour and oval shape of it.

Mother asked something, I totally forgot.

" Did you ever found out where did the 100 gold coins came from? Did you spent it? "

" No..and No. What could, I possibly spend it on? "

It didn't even bother me..to be honest. So he had a lot of gold?..and just gave it to me..Hehehe...

" The village now have people and from what, I can tell theres more on the way. " - for the time being Nifa and Cintia became permanent residents with Saam and Fipna. " Emet village might become Emet town soon..I could invite some merchant friends of mine to set up shops. "

Nifa had a very attractive idea. " Bring up next meeting granny and the council is planning. "

" Why is the meeting in the first place? " - she nodded then turned to granny who haven't said anything specific yet.

" It the annual meeting that used to happen before the tribute to the Lord, deciding on the amount we can offer and safety measures for the children in case it was short. " - her voice become somber remembering a time not so distant.

" But, that's no longer an issue.." - she smiled brightly and mumbled the rest. "..We just planning to elect Zephyr as the official Leader of Emet...Oh noo, the soup.."

" You did it on purpose Vistellia.." - I growled from my plate, it's content was now everywhere thanks to her perfect performance..

" Eww..

" Lylly!..Granny!!

" It's good soup..

" Mother, why? "

Some enjoyed it others were disgusted but all looked at the culprit..not me.

" Granny..just, Why? "

She wiped me off and the others did the same with themselves. " I like it when you all grown up..Alright, Alright.."

She saw my expression and turned serious.

". .It wasn't my idea. The other council members decided to make it official..let's face it..he is been doing it for a while, Lylly. "

The others had their own opinions some even made sense.

" Finally.." - Demelza added to my annoyance.

" I don't think he will like it. " - Eli was with me.

" Stop looking like that.. Vistellia is right. - Nifa was no help what so ever.

" If you ask me sweetheart it was really the only outcome.." - Mother just tries to be reasonable.

" You know what..."

Cintia spook up to draw our attention to her.

" I think certain people have certain destinies... On our travels we meet plenty of people calling themselves commanders, warlords, dukes and other but, all those cockroaches desired power above all else.. "

She enjoyed her wife caresses and went on.

" Your husband is different..he don't want power and authority... he is called to it. I saw the way he cares for his family and friends.." - she rested her hand on mine and gave a confident smile. " He'll be a fine leader as long as you support him. "

The others gave their silent approval as well.

I could tell..I suppose he was already doing it.

" Fine..again but, I wont interfere if he accept it okay..if not, that's fine too. "

I was done with the topic.

" Lady Astoria has spoken..Uhh..talking about blessed marrying into the Wold family..how is Carlos, dear Seline? "

It was mothers turn to look confused.

" How..

" Please.." - Nifa spoke her mind it was both a blessing and curse. " ..every one seeing you two getting closer by the day.."

She shared a look with me and relented. " I'm not sure ..he is leaving for his country soon. Something important but, didn't say. "

I knew...and wanted to tell her..seeing dejected expression..Forgive me, my love.. you married an impulsive woman.

" He is going to Divorce her.."

I blurted it out and felt 100 pounds lighter.

""" WHAT!?? """

I ignored the others and turned to mother. " See..he already decided mom..he asked Zephyr to go with him because he wanted this done now. "

He relived smiled was beautiful but..

" No one..not one of you call tell this to anyone...Zephyr's being superstitious."

They all buried my mother in hugs and kisses.

" I suppose this summer might be special for all of us.." - Cintia looked at her wife whom she marries the summer and since Carlos is from Dharma he might..well it's too early.

" Hear, hear.." - granny lifted her cup and we toasted to mother's hypothetical future happiness.

It was going to be a special summer for sure...my friends and my own mother potential wedding not to mention my Zephyr will turn, whatever I will decided on July 23rd.

..But, before that my own 21st birthday in June 11th...who would've thought, I'll marry someone who's.. 17? 19?

..maybe 1..no, no that's creepy..

Or is it though?
