After his talks were done with Alice, Maxwell returned to the palace and went to inform his father about Alice and his marriage plan. It was already evening by the time he reached, and his father was resting in the trial study room. They exchanged serious expressions, and Maxwell took a seat across from his father.
"Father, I have something important to discuss with you," Maxwell began.
His father looked up, his expression curious. "Go ahead, son. What's on your mind?"
Maxwell took a deep breath before continuing, "I've met someone, Father. Her name is Alice, and she's a commoner with exceptional talent. I want to marry her."
His father's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "A commoner? Are you sure about this, Maxwell?"
Maxwell nodded confidently, "Yes, Father. I've spent time with her, and she's remarkable. Her background is clean, and I believe she would be a great wife."
His father studied him for a moment before nodding, "Very well. But I need to do a background check on her, just to be sure. You know, it's important for the royal family."
Maxwell understood and agreed, "Of course, Father. I want to make sure everything is in order too."
After the conversation, Maxwell returned to his lodging, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness about the upcoming marriage.
A week went by quickly, and Maxwell met Alice quite a few times during that week. They got to know each other better, and Maxwell was delighted by her cheerful and outgoing personality. As the days passed, he became more certain that she was the right choice for him.
A week later, a family meeting was called in the royal library, where the investigation on Alice was presented. They found that she was a commoner, and her father had served in the royal army, which earned her a chance to study at the Royal Academy with state-funded education. She had exceptional talent and a clean background. Maxwell's family gave their blessings for the wedding, and they planned a modest celebration.
As the wedding date approached, Maxwell felt stressed, as he realized that his strength could only improve through purifying his bloodline with the help of the system. He wished he had spent more time cultivating on his own.
The day before the wedding, Maxwell admired himself in his chosen wedding dress, appreciating how handsome he looked. He thought about Alice's appearance and wondered how she would look in the dress selected for her.
The wedding was to be a quiet affair, with only close family members and some dignitaries present. Maxwell felt the pressure of getting married, but he looked forward to unlocking more of the system's abilities after the wedding.
As the big day approached, Maxwell's stress and anticipation grew. He reflected on how much his life was about to change, and he hoped that the marriage would bring glory to the royal family.
In summary, Maxwell's preparations for the wedding were underway, and he anxiously awaited the day when he would marry Alice. Despite the stress and some worries, he was excited to begin this new chapter in his life.
