"We are gonna have a wedding" said Mary between sips of lava wine prompting a total of 12 spit takes, 7 of those led to mild coughing fits that were drowned by liquid while 3 led to choking and required the Heimlich manoeuvre, 70 percent of the food was dirtied by the spit takes and the last 30 percent was contaminated by spit from the coughing.
The feast was a success dinner for Yunan who has successfully completed the torture course and proven to have the ability and the willpower to perform the heinous act like it was just another mundane job, he also proved that he has no mental blocks about torture or killing, it was just that he didn't think it was necessary before, thus granting him the approval of Debauchery.
This particular dinner was rather quiet by Debauchery standards, there was no raucous nor was there any of the antics usually pulled out at dinner time, therefore it was not hard to perfectly hear the words coming out from between the pretty lips Leader had, and for her to suggest something to liven up the atmosphere was not ordinary at all, and who is the lucky or unlucky pair that gets to be married.
"Why are you looking at me like that? it's been almost 10 years since the engagement between Reina and Yunan, we should have a wedding". Mary defended her sanity with those words prompting sighs of relief across the table even from Yunan and Reina if Leader was going to pull off some stunt, everyone knew that Yunan was the subject thanks to his luck. "Well?" Mary was feeling very anxious right about now, if her own crew thought she was out of her mind then she might as well help everyone lose their minds as well, that was the way of Debauchery, all adhere to the same mental state.
Yunan found his mouth spouting words like a torrent as if to wash away the newest thought that Leader had, he didn't even know what he was saying but he didn't try to stop his blathering mouth because it might be his life being saved automatically at this moment.
"Sure we should have a wedding, but what should we do, no one here has any knowledge about weddings, even Fae does not seem to have any ideas of her own about this, there should be a venue, a feast, many guests that we don't even know about, we have to split the wedding in half, one part would be in the sun islands and the other back at the pearl kingdom, we need to invite the neighbouring big wigs and some of them I have never even tried to meet, lady Mito would make us go through another training, she would not go easy on us because we took so long and because you let me have a harem already, there is also the need to make gifts for those attending the wedding, providing high-level food and sweets, worst of all is that we have no idea where to start and I am not very keen on asking lady Mito for help with every big occasion, I bet she still has it for me for not going to her place before my coronation ceremony".
While Yunan was taking a well earned sip of lava wine to cool his burning throat and dried tongue, he was forced to make another spit take when he heard the glitter in Fae's eyes turn from dim light to a blinding sun "we can make use of those wedding agencies, all the top brass use them, i always wanted to be able to go and tell them to make me a wedding that can never be topped by anyone else ever."
"I prefer lady Mito, i do not like to seek death" said Leader "if she got invited to her own daughter's wedding like any other guest i believe we would be on the encyclopedia as the face of "those who angered their mother in law and paid dearly for it", and i like my current position outside of the encyclopedia all together", assenting nods passed around the table, even the fearless Debauchery had some things they wanted to avoid at any cost especially when it came to people who have previously proved they had the ability to cause enough headache for the troop.
"Another thing we should be concerned about is the gods that would be showing up at the wedding, what do you feed gods? And how do you stop them from meddling with the ordinary guests, and knowing how mom thinks, anyone arriving without invitation is to be booted with extreme prejudice and that is the same for gods too, she would probably find it so hilarious that my handmaids are my fellow harem members and there is a goddess among them, not to mention all the small details like the dance routines, the toasting, the best-man speech, the vows and so many other things, we would not be able to keep up with her at all"
"We don't have to keep up with her, we just have to focus on the training and let her do what she does best, make everything nice and proper, first we have to convince mister emperor to let go of her and lend her to us, then we should hire a guild employee to keep her well funded and she also needs access to the genie to get all the materials from our vaults, we can let the genie use his creation mode to let her customize to her heart's content".
While all the family was pitching their own ideas for the wedding, Birdie the newest member in the family said out loud " I can understand that two engaged people would marry someday, but why do you have to take her orders and have your wedding when she mentioned it?", Ignis felt death knocking his cane and demanding her attention as almost every single person in the room except for Yunan and Leader were murdering her with their eyes, Leader diffuse the tension by Saying "if you have any idea that is as entertaining as a wedding where the chief bridesmaid is a goddess, the bride and her bridesmaids have been shagging the groom, the guests include gods, sentient beings, living treasures, and awakened monsters, there will be nuns and kings, the most powerful people in the world mingling with the royalty they despise, there will party crasher gods, beggars trying to sneak in, etcetera etcetera, if you can have an idea that can provide half as much fun we can give up on the wedding"
