-The Grand Wedding-
"Hey!"
Darrion's heart almost jumps out of his chest when Yui suddenly appeared beside him.
"Can you do something with your wife? Tell her she's the empress now and stop doing unnecessary things that a maid should do!"
With an exhausted face, Yui pleaded with Darrion who was just quietly making his way to meet with his vassals.
Avoiding meeting Yui's puppy eyes, Darrion averts his gaze "H-how can I even dare to do that."
Grabbing both his shoulders, Yui began to shake Darrion, "Why not! you are the emperor command her to stop!"
Darrion almost feel dizzy when a distinct voice echoed along the hall.
"Yuilleeen!"
Both froze in their stand after recognizing the sweet yet scary tone from Maylene who is only a few steps away from them.
"Oh no! Hide me!"
Yui quickly went behind Darrion but Maylene appeared on the opposite side instead.
"There you are."
With her eyes smiling, Yui knows that Maylene isn't happy at all because she has been running away from her ever since they began the wedding preparations.
With no further words, Darrion handed Yui well to Maylene, kissed his wife's forehead, and then left.
"What a traitor," Yui mumbled and so once again she was caught by her best friend.
"I'm so tired." Lying down on her bed, Yui rests her head on Gael's thighs as he is sitting on the other side of the bed.
Gael caress her hair and kissed her on her cheeks, "Just hold it for a while."
"A while is too long for me. I only wished for us to proceed with this wedding that I don't understand why we need such."
"You know that heaven's blessing is certain for a prosperous couple's life."
"But we are peaceful and happy enough."
Gael replied with a wonderful smile interlocking his fingers against Yui, whose eyes were already closed yet still she was able to keep with their conversation.
"I am more than happy that you chose us." He murmured.
Smiling in response, Yui wasn't able to hold her exhaustion and fell asleep on her lover's lap.
While sleeping Gael moved Yui's body to properly lay on her bed and have a good night's rest while wrapping his arms around her.
After a while, he releases his aura to share with Yui because he could feel how much her mana was used that day to maintain her healthy body.
It seems that after Yui gave most of her mana to restore the boundary, Yui's health deteriorates.
As a sorceress, her mana is her source of energy and strength, losing most of it, is as if losing half of her lifespan.
Despite that fact, Gael made sure to maintain Yui's balance and so of course Maylene helped with continuous medication for Yui.
"Thank you for coming back" He whispered and kissed her forehead before falling asleep.
And the time passed by quickly, before Daphne's belly could get any bigger, the Grand Wedding was held.
However, due to further arguments, most of the glamorous details have been reduced as per Yui's wishes.
Rather she chose to rebuild the ruined temple and design it back to its original form.
Thus, the wedding was held at the same temple, despite the ugly history that has happened at the site.
Yui wanted to change that image and rebuild it into her most beautiful memory.
The temple and the whole palace, as the capital was designed in blue, purple, and pink flowers hanging all over the posts and windows.
Silver and white colors filled the whole place with a touch of blue and purple jewels.
Even everyone was dressed with pastel colors resembling the bride and groom's hair color and eyes.
The whole streets and roads were filled with petals to honor Yui's magnificent petals that she majestically depicts to the people.
It was undoubtedly the day for her and her husband-to-be.
Everyone is much more excited to see the power couple in the empire's history.
The bell rang and the ceremony proceeded when the two doors opened revealing the entrance of the bride,
Wearing a white and silver long gown with pieces of jewelry shaped like flowers that are shimmering in purple just like Gael's eyes.
The long white transparent veil hanging on her face still cannot cover the beauty of her round pinkish cheeks,
So was her pair of glittering golden eyes that Gael would never be tired of looking at for the rest of his life.
Beside her, is the previous emperor Arcus and on the other side, the empress dowager, Empress Karin who took the position as her mother's proxy.
Reaching the altar, Gael waited with Duke Herman acting as his father.
Wearing a White and Silver Tuxedo with pieces of blue jewelry, designed to pair with Yui's gown, Gael stood and firmly waited for his bride-to-be.
His pair of deep purple eyes smiled in half crescent as soon as he saw Yui walking down the aisle, with his lips smiling from ear to ear.
Arcus reached Yui's hands and after kissing the back of it, he gently handed it to Gael.
The two couples continue to walk the steps going to the platform where a priest is waiting for them.
"I now declare you husband and wife."
The last statement made the crowd cheer and with no hesitations, Gael held both Yui's cheeks and kissed her soft lips.
The couple happily walked towards the exit of the temple and more petals filled the air without Yui using her powers.
"Long live for the empire's Archmage and Sword"
