121: wedding

However, Karona's adorable appearance made Arthur feel like teasing her.

He pretended to get up and made sounds of leaving, letting Karona believe he had already exited the bedroom.

But in reality, Arthur had been in a corner of the bedroom the entire time!

Hearing the commotion, the sleeping Karona, believing Arthur had truly left, quickly opened her beautiful eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

From this, it was evident just how nervous she had been.

Relaxing, Karona began to quickly put on her clothes. Just then, Arthur quietly appeared behind her and gave a gentle cough.

This familiar sound made Karona's expression change instantly. After she turned around, the shyness on her face was very obvious:

"Arthur, didn't you leave? I clearly heard the door open and close!"

To this, Arthur smiled wickedly:

"We are husband and wife, you can't be this shy!"

After a bit of teasing, Arthur knew he shouldn't continue, as that would be pushing it too far, so he left with a smile!

Leaving behind the completely blushing Karona standing quietly in place!

Because of what happened last night, Arthur and Karona's relationship had clearly become much closer.

Being experienced in these matters, The Count and Countess guessed what had happened and became even more affectionate towards Karona.

Because they still wanted Karona to work hard so they could hold their grandchildren sooner!

Facing the somewhat intentional enthusiasm of Arthur's parents, the naive Karona could only lower her head and agree, like a little ostrich!

...

Come to think of it, with Arthur coming of age, another matter had become imminent: the marriage contract between Arthur and Olivia, the legitimate daughter of Marquis of Roses, was fast approaching.

The marriage contract had been set for one month after Arthur turned eighteen, so now there was only one month left until the deadline.

This was a major event, and The Count and Countess specifically sought out Arthur to discuss it.

In the study, The Count and Countess were sitting adjacent to Arthur.

Regarding the marriage, Charlotte, as the Countess, had more say, and she was the first to ask:

"Do you have any specific arrangements for your wedding with Olivia?"

Arthur really hadn't carefully studied the wedding process of the Kate Kingdom, so he could only smile awkwardly and say:

"I haven't really thought it through. Actually, I wanted you two to decide the specific itinerary for the wedding, and I'll just follow along when the time comes!"

Seeing Arthur acting like a hands-off manager, Charlotte had no choice but to roll her eyes.

Although a bit speechless, Charlotte was still very interested in Arthur letting them arrange the wedding.

Because, as parents, they had hardly helped Arthur at all over the past two years.

Instead, Arthur had been silently helping them, leaving the two of them feeling unaccomplished as parents, and even feeling a bit guilty towards Arthur.

Now that Arthur needed them, they were naturally willing to contribute!

So they quickly promised:

"Leave this matter to us, rest assured, we will definitely make it beautiful for you!"

Seeing his parents agree, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, because he really didn't want to waste time on these trivial matters.

However, Arthur had other arrangements for this wedding, which was that after marrying Olivia, he would also marry Karona the following week.

Although Karona was already Arthur's on the surface, Arthur had never given her a real wedding, so he decided to just do it all at once!

Afterwards, Arthur informed his parents of his idea.

Although this approach of Arthur's was extremely rare among the nobles of the Kate Kingdom, it did exist.

After all, nobles were allowed to have multiple wives and concubines, so this situation would inevitably arise.

Therefore, although Abergh and Charlotte were a bit surprised, thinking that Karona was indeed a good girl and deserved an explanation, they nodded and agreed.

Finally, they discussed some specific details of the wedding. Basically, Abergh and Charlotte were doing the talking, while Arthur listened quietly on the side.

Just like that, the three of them talked from noon until dinner time, and they still weren't finished!

Of course, it was Arthur's parents who weren't finished; Arthur himself didn't have such a good feeling about it!

So, seeing that it was time to eat, Arthur hurriedly stood up:

"Father, Mother, it's time for dinner, let's go eat first!

Also, I'll leave my wedding matters entirely to you; you don't need to discuss the details with me anymore!"

Hearing this, Arthur's parents, especially his mother Charlotte, nodded reluctantly:

"Alright then, let's go eat first!"

Hearing this, Arthur finally felt relieved!

That night, the news that Arthur was going to hold a make-up wedding for her reached Karona's ears.

What girl could refuse a grand wedding?

So Karona's mood immediately became excited, allowing Arthur to experience quite a few new tricks that night!

...

Due to the addition of his parents and others, Arthur's castle became much livelier!

However, these days of family reunion did not last long.

Because it wasn't a good idea for Abergh and the others to keep living in Initial City; they still had matters in their territory that needed them to handle.

Moreover, after Arthur's parents and the others learned that Arthur did not intend to leave the Kate Kingdom for the time being, they felt that there would be plenty of time to spend together later, so they stayed at the castle in Initial City for three days before returning home separately!

With the departure of his parents and the others, Arthur's castle suddenly became empty, making him feel a tinge of melancholy!

But this melancholy did not last long, because when he looked at Karona beside him and Joao and the others behind him, he knew that he was never alone!

With time on his hands, Arthur instead began to think about future matters.

Besides the already confirmed wedding, the matter of Arthur sending clones to replace the confidants of the nobles within the Kate Kingdom was also nearly complete.

It would be completely finished within this month.

This meant that Arthur's plan to annex the Kate Kingdom could be implemented that same month.

However, thinking that the two women's weddings were also in this time frame, Arthur decided to postpone the plan to annex the Kate Kingdom.

Because if the plan to annex the Kate Kingdom were executed before the wedding, the Kate Kingdom would definitely be in a state of panic.

If the wedding were held then, it probably wouldn't feel festive, so Arthur ultimately decided to postpone the plan to annex the Kate Kingdom.

Anyway, this wasn't urgent, but Arthur's wedding could not have any mishaps.

...

Just like that, time quickly arrived at January 1st, the time for Arthur and Olivia's wedding.

Dragons and Legendary Experts certainly couldn't be revealed. In order to make the wedding look more grand, Arthur purchased another Two-Headed Wyvern.

The Two-Headed Wyvern was to be used to bolster the spectacle, and weddings advocate for things coming in pairs, for couples to be together.

So Arthur redeemed another Two-Headed Wyvern for good luck.

Although this would definitely arouse the suspicion of others in the Kate Kingdom—after all, the Two-Headed Wyvern was such a rare Demonic Beast, and obtaining them one after another was truly unbelievable!
