123: The relationship between the two women

Afterward, Arthur sent Olivia into her Family's exclusive carriage, which was part of Olivia's bridal procession.

Once everything was ready, Arthur rode the Two-Headed Wyvern, Andel, and began his return journey.

The entire procession, with Olivia's addition, expanded by more than two hundred people, reaching over twelve hundred!

Speaking of which, before leaving, Arthur left Marquis of Roses with something: the Mountain Giant he had promised him.

As soon as this matter came to light, the Marquis of Roses's sadness over marrying off his daughter was greatly diluted.

After all, the Mountain Giant was crucial to their Family's prosperity for a thousand years!

Additionally, although The Marquis and Marchioness Yueji did not leave with Arthur's bridal party.

As the bride's parents, they still had to be present for the wedding ceremony at noon.

So, not long after Arthur departed, the two of them embarked on their journey to Initial City once more.

Arthur hurried along and finally arrived at Initial City exactly at eleven o'clock.

Compared to Rose City, the people of Initial City were clearly more enthusiastic.

Because Arthur was their lord and had brought them a rather good life, they no longer had to worry about hunger.

So, when Arthur returned to Initial City with the bridal procession, what he saw was almost the entire city's population gathered on both sides of the main road, a dense mass as far as the eye could see.

It's important to note that Initial City has a population of nearly 1.2 million, and with so many people gathered, the main road of Initial City was completely packed.

With so many people, if Arthur were to scatter only twenty thousand gold coins as he did in Rose City, it would make him seem a bit stingy.

Moreover, Initial City was Arthur's territory; after this money was distributed, it would eventually flow back into Arthur's pockets.

This led Arthur to finally decide to scatter one hundred thousand gold coins in Initial City.

Fortunately, preparations had been ample, so under Arthur's command, nine million silver coins and ten thousand gold coins were scattered among the cheering crowd.

To ensure that people further away on both sides of the road could receive them, those scattering the coins deliberately used a skillful technique, throwing the coins further without causing any harm!

Arthur's generous act naturally earned him cheers from the entire city!

During this process, Arthur was delayed by another twenty minutes, leaving only half an hour until his official wedding ceremony with Olivia!

Although half an hour was short, Arthur and his parents had already prepared everything beforehand.

Arthur and Olivia only needed a brief moment to get ready before attending the wedding, so this amount of time was more than enough!

Afterward came the most important part of the wedding.

Arthur and Olivia exchanged vows and rings under the gaze of both their Families and most of the nobles of Kate Kingdom.

After the wedding, it was time for Arthur and Olivia, the two main characters, to go around toasting.

During the toasting, Arthur also spotted his old friend, David.

With the two Earth Knights Arthur sent as offerings, David's complexion was noticeably better than before.

For Arthur's wedding, David also presented a grand gift, worth no less than a million gold coins, which was no small sum for David at this time!

After all, the Koruk Family's wealth had largely been plundered by Arthur and various nobles beforehand!

It was already quite good if David had ten million gold coins on him at this point!

As for whether the Koruk Family had other hidden Legacies for their resurgence.

For the Koruk Family, which had a Legacy of hundreds of years, it should exist, but Arthur's destruction of the Koruk Family was too sudden.

David, being an illegitimate son, could not possibly know the location of the Treasure Trove, so he was still relatively poor.

Thus, time finally came to late night, a time exclusively for Arthur and Olivia.

Arthur and Olivia's feelings, after the series of events at the previous birthday banquet, could only be described as fondness.

Coupled with Olivia's intelligent yet tranquil personality.

Olivia was somewhat at a loss about what was to happen next.

Seeing this, Arthur knew that he would have to take the lead tonight!

He quickly stepped forward and sat beside Olivia on the bed.

Then he began to advance steadily, taking an inch for every step.

Under Arthur's offensive, Olivia soon followed in Karona's footsteps... Due to being newly married, Arthur reduced his time spent Cultivating, handling official duties, and reading for the next few days.

He instead spent more time with Olivia, allowing their feelings for each other to rapidly grow.

To celebrate, Arthur also held a week-long continuous banquet in Initial City to share his joy with the city's residents.

Time quickly arrived a week after their marriage, which was the day Arthur and Karona's wedding was to be held.

Karona's wedding process was the same as Olivia's.

The only difference was that the pick-up location was changed from Rose City to Mad Lion City, and also because there was only a three-hundred-kilometer distance between Initial City and Mad Lion City.

Arthur's departure time for the pick-up was also postponed from one AM to five AM.

Other than that, nothing changed.

Arthur and Karona's relationship had already had a Breakthrough, so there wasn't much to say about the wedding night.

However, when the time came to the second day of Arthur and Karona's marriage, one matter particularly caught Arthur's attention.

That was the issue of Karona and Olivia's relationship.

The noble marriage system of Kate Kingdom dictated that noble wives were divided into two types: the main wife and the concubine.

Lovers or warming-bed maids didn't count at all!

There could only be one main wife, but several concubines, and the children they bore would be legitimate and illegitimate, respectively.

This meant the difference between a main wife and a concubine was too great!

Due to her noble status, Olivia naturally secured the position of main wife, while Karona was the concubine.

Of course, this was the explanation for outsiders; in Arthur's eyes, they were treated equally.

Not only did Arthur believe this, but he also conveyed his thoughts to both women!

Fortunately, neither woman was the type to be overly calculative, and they both tacitly accepted Arthur's approach.

Despite this, Arthur was still somewhat concerned about how the two of them would get along.

But Arthur had actually worried too much; Karona and Olivia were not only intelligent but also both gentle-natured and fond of Arthur!

They knew that whoever initiated a conflict first would only displease Arthur, so they both intended to maintain a peaceful relationship.

It was only upon getting along that they discovered their interactions were very harmonious; if they had met earlier, they would likely have been close sisters.

So, when Arthur checked on the two women after the wedding, worried, he found them chatting and laughing, looking like good friends.

Upon closer inspection, he found that they didn't seem to be faking it.

This was somewhat unexpected for Arthur, but it was a good thing, so Arthur didn't dwell on it much and instead let out a long sigh of relief!

Afterward, thinking that since Olivia had married him, she was also part of the Family, he took some time to give Olivia a portion of dragon blood.
