Once Ves finished honoring his ancestors, he departed the garden platform and returned to his shuttle.
He still had a lot of more rituals to go through. Whether they were relevant to him or not didn't matter. The point was to show off what a good man he was and what a good spouse he would be. With how much publicity this wedding attracted, Ves and the Larkinsons had to appear at their very best in order to leave a favorable impression to the public.
In fact, Ves had to go above and beyond what was necessary to emphasize his virtues. This was because he had to compensate for the negative influence brought by the Hexers.
To this day, many outsiders were scratching their heads at the wedding. Why in the hell was Ves marrying a Hexer of all people?
Even Ves asked this question sometimes.
