Tomorrow is the day of my wedding, on that day, my parent's came in and just stayed here because of how much they loved the house, the servant's came in the next day and started working. Although the house is so clean and decorated there is no need for them but because there are going to be guest's it is better to have them as server's and help staff. Some of the guest's have already arrived, Old Lady Greta and innkeeper have already gotten into full gear for preparation of the food.
Abberon's brother and three of his staff have came with him, the rest are going to come tomorrow. The moment anyone entered the house they become so surprised in the beginning and cosy after that, that it appears that no one wants to leave. Because It is still winter they enjoy the heated room and hot chocolate and marshmallows we serve them. It appears that they have Cocoa Bean here but because it is bitter no one consumes it. Mine are processed sweet hot chocolate and marshmallows which apparently also isn't known so when they try it for the first time they become so serious they don't even talk until they finish their serving and they asked for more.
The King, The Duke and their families will come together tomorrow and I need to open a gate for them to get them here because this mansion is near the border between Dracrys Kingdom and Resou Empire to the complete south of our country.
Grandpa would be coming in here with Helios tonight in their human avatar's because their actual bodies can't enter this world without causing problems with the causality. Being a God provides overwhelming abilities but it is also highly restrictive as whatever they do can alter causality which is not allowed unless it is for an emergency which cannot be avoided. So they can only indirectly alter causality by using other's as a sacrifice.
We have already prepared as much as we can for our wedding and all that is left is to entertain the guests. I have prepared board games for people to enjoy as well. There are also some of the cuisine from my previous world added to it which both Old Lady Greta and the Innkeeper prepare with much enthusiasm.
Soon it was nighttime and it was Time for the Great Dragon God to come in. I sensed his presence and soon all time stopped except for me and Abberon. We leave the house to receive him as he lands his Divine Aura ever so brightly emanating from his body. He stopped the time to form an avatar he can enter without anyone knowing. He develops a structure and forms an avatar which resembles a 9th Circle Master and has a noble look to it and behind him Helios also enters an avatar which displayed the strength of a 9th Circle Master as well.
"Welcome Grandpa, Helios. Congratulations on your advancement to godhood and becoming a Dragon King"
My Dragon King is different from what Helios has grown to become. In my case my body is similar to that of a Dragon King and can fight evenly with them just with body and strength alone without both parties using Mana. While Helios's Dragon King is someone who command's every Dragon with the same attribute under him. Which earns him total reverence from most dragons unless they are of the same class or higher than him. His complete Aura has changed after taking on that title and ascending to Godhood.
"Thank You, Young Master"
"You shouldn't call me Young Master anymore, aren't you already a Dragon King?"
"You being the Lord's Grandson had more precedence over my being a Dragon King and besides, haven't you also reached that same demarcation and would ascend to godhood soon?"
"ahem ahem, You two are doing awfully well ignoring me here. Grandson, Helios come here"
He called us as he hit our heads and then starts sulking only to be calmed down by Abberon
"Welcome to our house Grandpa, thank you for taking your time out for our wedding"
"Of course my dear I would obviously come for the wedding of my Grandson but that ungrateful brat ignored me, you are the only one who is good."
"Now now stop sulking Grandpa, of course we are not ignoring you. I was just commending Helios for his growth."
" And I was just commending Red for his"
"Fine, fine I get it. Anyway Red and Abberon come here"
We both take a step forward and bow in front of Grandpa and he releases his Aura on us in a sense blessing us, this Aura suddenly burst and had my entire body turn to a massive Red Dragon of a 150ft. It is a good thing that I started flying when that happened or else the Aftershock on the ground would have seriously caused some tremors. When I checked my status, my body has been promoted to a Dragon Emperor. Wait let me soak in this fact. In this form I can even fight against Dragon Emperor's and not get hurt my anything below that grade. I returned back to my human form and got on the ground and see Abberon in her battle mode covered in a Crimson Aura and soon her entire body exuded a Black Aura and she unlocked a new battle mode which looking at her I dub "Demon Overlord mode" It completely overpowers everyone if the same realm enough so that this time we each alone could defeat both of those 9th Realm Master's. We both bow again and thank him.
"Thank You Grandpa"
"Good, Congratulations on your wedding both of you."
"Young Master, Young Mistress here is a family heirloom which I received. This is a gift for you for your future."
" Helios, you don't need to give us something worth that much to you. Just your presence is appreciated"
" Young Master, I appreciate that but you need it more than I do now that I have ascended to become a god. This is an urn where if you both put a part of your soul in you both can be revived even if you die regardless of anything but only once unless you put in another portion of your soul."
" "..." "
both of us were stumped, although I have resurrection magic it's failure rate is much higher than than success. We could barely move our lips as we thanked him.
" " Thank You " "
"No worries"
" Let us go in first, I will show you to your room and also do you want some hot chocolate with marshmallows?"
" Hmm, ok let's go in and have that drink. It is from your previous world right? I am curious about it too."
He then releases the stopped time and we head in, My parents bow down and greet him and when Abberon's brother and others are told that he is my Grandfather, they bow in front of him as well. It seems that he exudes an Aura that forces everyone to bow in front of him. He releases his Aura as we enter and serve them some hot chocolate and marshmallows to sit down and enjoy.

While on the other hand a sole woman riding on horseback is on a race against time to reach Dracrys Kingdom in order to help save Resou Empire before its eternal demise unaware that the unthinkable has already happened. Will she be able to inform Red and Abberon about this massacre before those silver insects arrive? or will she perish in the hands of those insects heading towards Dracrys Kingdom?
