When the night before his wedding arrived, Romonus opened his eyes after several days of inactivity. As he sat on the throne of Skulls, Kharn, Grimaldus, Mephiston, and Azi Dahaka had been waiting for him to move.
They had not left his side, but he had not ordered them to stay either. Azi flew toward him and landed on his lap. Romonus glanced down at the Evil Dragon who was looking up at him with five pairs of eyes. Romonus was even smiling at the moment.
"Come on big guy, you want to get ready don't you?"
Romonus nodded as he held his hand out to Azi who landed in his open palm.
"Yeah, I might as well take a bath."
"A bath in the sun right since regular water won't clean your skin. A good old star bath will make you shine bright."
Romonus laughed as he started petting Azi's many heads. Romonus then placed him on his shoulder as he picked up Kharn and Grimaldus into his arms. The two angry creatures from the look of things were wondering why he was so cheerful.
"Come, let's enjoy my last night as an unmarried man."
He started walking down his Throne with Mephiston behind him. Azi wondered about that.
"How are you going to do that? Going to a human strip club would just suck since human women can't compare to Supernatural ones. Your wives-to-be are the best of the best and it is not like you are dreading your wedding."
Romonus waved his hand and opened a portal to Earth. He didn't appear in any populated place and he just picked a random mountain in Africa. When he and his familiars looked up and saw that it was a Full Moon.
He chuckled as he looked up at the Eight-Pointed Star that still burned on the Moon. It was a reminder of his ascension and he wasn't going to fix it since it made the mortals panic. He wasn't going to rule them as he wasn't a God who desired to oppress mortals.
Mephiston lied down so Romonus took the chance to rest his head against his soft plume of Feathers. The Griffin was 30 meters long(98 feet) so he was a giant which made Romonus' 7'5 height seem small.
As he relaxed, Kharn, Grimaldus, and even Azi jumped onto his chest and enjoyed the quiet time looking up at the Moon. Romonus took a deep breath as he rested his head against his Familiar.
"You four along with Archaon, Ruin Maker, and my Cursed Shield are the ones who know me the best. You are all linked to my soul so you know the secrets I hold. What do you think? Speak your thoughts."
Kharn raised his head and looked at Romonus. All the years Romonsu had known his Honey Badger he never heard him utter a word or thought. Just cold silence, but if it was a request, he broke his silence.
"It is in the past."
His voice was unnaturally calm lacking even a hint of emotion, but that was false. That calm was a lie, as it merely hid the true simmering violence that Kharn felt every second or every day.
He restrained his rage until the time he needed to release it as a boiling wave of wrath. Romonus ran a hand down the large Badger's back before ruffling his head.
"Thanks for your honesty, what about you Grimaldus."
Grimaldus tilted his head as he thought about it.
"The fact you are a reincarnatator is of no importance to us. Andrew and Romonus are the same. Why are you so sappy before your wedding? It is not like you."
Grimaldus' voice sounded a mix of robotic intelligence and a growling beast. The opposite of Kharn's eerie calm.
"I guess you can say even I get emotional thinking of me getting married. What about you Mephiston?"
The Griffin raised his head before resting it on the ground.
"I think you should be more happy, but what does it matter what we think? The only one who can determine what you feel is you."
Azi nodded with all five heads.
"What they said, so stop brooding and go get ready for your wedding."
"I will in a second, just let me brood for a little while."
Azi decided to allow Romonus to do just that. They all just took the moment to enjoy the view of the Moon and Stars as they would soon be exploring the unknown. New realities they would crush or subjugate on their adventures.
Romonus smiled as he closed his eyes and gave a prayer and message to the one who gave him this chance.
'Rhavdall, thanks for everything. If not for you, I would still be a mortal weakling working as my former Mother's boy toy so thanks for that. Thank you for reincarnating me, thank you for giving me the Sparda Bloodline, and thanks for the Enuncia. Everything I have is thanks to you, Amen.'
He didn't expect a response as Rhavdall told him he was going to be preoccupied, but he got a response.
'No need to thank you, you have done more than enough for me. When we meet again, let's do so as friends.'
Romonus smiled as he placed his hand on his heart.
'Until then, Rhavdall my friend.'
'Until we meet again, Romonus.'
When the link was cut, it was going to be their final meeting for many years. Romonus stood up and he took a deep breath as he was now 'free'. He never felt like he had been controlled as Rhavdall was not that kind of guy.
Once the final communication with his former Boss and God of Reincarnation, Romonus stood up.
"Come on, let us go get ready."
He teleported along with his familiars to his Demon King Castle where he was going to get ready. Before he got dressed he did what Azi recommended and he teleported himself to the sun to take a star bath.
He used the extreme heat and pressure of the sun to deep clean himself before his big day. Once he finished with his Star Bath like Han Xiao, he took a regular bath with superheated water just to make sure he smelled excellent.
Once he was clean, he then created an intricate wedding outfit that he modeled after the Heavenly Demon Cultivator Robe since it just fit. It was a very intricate thing, but he was going to go all out for his wedding.
He then made the hard decision to cut off his beard returning his face to its clean-shaven look. He almost cried when he did that, but he could grow it back at any time. He also cut his hair a bit and once he was dressed he gave a bath to Kharn and Grimaldys who didn't need it, but they should look their best.
He helped Mephiston prune his Feathers and comb out his fur, while Azi Dahaka decided to repeat Romonus' Star and Water bath. Once everyone was ready, Romonus looked himself in the mirror one last time.
He sighed as he looked at his face that lacked his manly beard.
"It is just for today."
Azi who was sitting on his shoulder looked away with all five heads.
"Oh, the travesty that has been inflicted on my friend's face. Oh, the horror."
Romonus ignored him as he opened a portal to go to Lucifade where the wedding was going to take place. He did so outside the city as he didn't want to accidentally ruin the surprise.
It seemed he did the right thing as waiting outside the gates of the reconstructed Lucifade were two Necrons. They appeared to be designed like Necron Nobles and when they spotted him they kneeled.
"Lord Romonus has arrived, informing Mistress Latia."
One of Latia's Necrons began communicating with her so Romonus waited. He didn't have to wait long as the Necron finished its communication.
"Lord Romonus, prepare for teleportation."
"Sure."
The Necron walked toward him placed its hand on his shoulder and teleported him and his familiars where he needed to go. When the teleportation ended, he appeared in a large room that seemed to be a changing room to get ready.
He wasn't alone as he saw Grayfia, Nisselred, and Sakuya here. They were not the only ones as besides the three maid sisters, was someone he had not talked to in a while.
"Viviana? What are you doing here?"
Viviana, White Dragon Empress, the rival of Itsuki and a good friend of Romonus was here. She was dressed in her usual punk rock outfit, but it seemed something was off. She seemed a bit down all things considered.
She was sitting down and when she saw him she chuckled.
"What are you wearing and where is your beard? You look like shit."
He scoffed as he looked excellent.
"Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence. Anywho, what is up?"
Grayfia looked at Viviana before she walked toward him. With her were her son Milicas and Asterion, Marcina's son. Marcina had been invited only as a maid so while her son would go to enjoy his brother's wedding, she had to work.
It was Venelana's petty revenge for the break up of her previous marriage and thanks as well since she found someone leagues better. Even if the one she was marrying was her son, who gave a shit.
They were a Devil and a Demon so incest was just a fun time and gods had been doing it for thousands of years
"Romonus, Latia put us here to make sure you were ready and I can see you are not."
Romonus looked down at himself as he felt he was perfect.
"What do you mean? I shaved, and I bathed twice and I even trimmed my hair."
Grayfia pointed at his beardless face.
"And that is a problem, Latia and a lot of the girls love your beard. So you got to grow it back and this is not a traditional wedding so ditch the Cultivator Robe and put on Archaon. Latia says you look best in heavy plate armor."
"You want me to grow the beard back?"
Grayfia nodded.
"Latia placed us here to make sure you didn't do things like this and what is with the Cultivator Robe?"
"I thought it would look nice and show I am putting effort."
She shook her head.
"Make sure to put Archaon on. Latia didn't want this to be a traditional wedding as it would go against your tastes, so make sure to armor up."
Romonus turned to Azi who from the look of it was shrugging. He placed a hand on the robe he put a lot of effort into and changed it back to his black leather suit. This one wasn't his usual Bloodborne suit and was a black leather robe and suit.
He also used magic to grow back his beard which Grayfia began coming out. She didn't mess with his hair as his haircut looked good.
"There we are."
She reached into her pocket and pulled out some cologne that Magdaran had made. She sprayed his neck, wrists, and his chest.
"Now you're ready, make sure you put on Archaon and you're ready."
He started chuckling as he expected the girls to want him to dress up in a suit or something.
"Are you sure this is what they want?"
Nisselred nodded.
"It is Master, Latia, Rias, Venelana, Itsuki, Miria, Silvana, Roygun, Serafall, Valerie, Vespera, Akeno, Shirone, Seekvaira, Rias, Natsume, Kuroka, and Walburga were quite clear that they wanted you to wear Archaon. Ophis didn't care what you wore and said she wouldn't care if you came out naked. She doesn't care about a lot of things."
He smiled as he sounded like her.
"Right, I guess Archaon is the best."
As he said that Archaon began to emerge from his soul encasing him armor. At first, Archaon was silent, but soon the armor began to sniffle.
"Honestly, I am so happy they care about me so much. My Armored, your family cares about me."
Archaon could barely keep himself calm and soon he was straight up crying. Romonus had never seen that so he started patting his shoulder plate. Grayfia shook her head as she looked at the crying Living Armor.
"Latia did help to make you so she felt you should be included. Now stop crying."
Archaon shut off the waterworks and went quiet. Once Archaon was silent, Grayfia looked up at Romonus.
"How do you feel?"
"Proud and happy, how else am I supposed to feel?"
Grayfia patted him on his armored arm.
"Like that, enjoy your wedding day, just like I enjoyed my wedding with Sirzechs. Now get out there Sunomor."
She was calling back to when she and Romonus had fought off several Cultivator Groups in China and acquired he now destroyed True Longinus.
"Are you still focused on the opposite spelling? We had to do that for the Cultivators."
She chuckled as she hurried him along.
"Stop whining and get ready."
She grabbed Asterion and Millicas by their hands before she began walking away with Sakuya and Nisselred. That just left Viviana who seemed to want to talk to him. When everyone was gone from the room he turned to her.
He sat down on one of the chairs as it seemed to be serious.
"Viviana, anything on your mind."
Viviana stayed quiet for a few moments, but in the end, she couldn't keep it quiet.
"Can you tell me why you haven't tried to get with me? Am I not pretty enough or do you just not see me that way? Because we have known each other for years and you have never hesitated before. I didn't want to do this on your wedding day, but I felt I should bring this up before we drift away."
Romonus thought about it as he felt they were really good friends. There was a lot of tension between them, but he had been so busy that it never came up.
"I didn't think you saw me that way. You never said it so I didn't either."
She got to her feet and she walked toward him. When she reached him she got onto his lap and looked him in the eyes. It caused her many chains to jingle and so did her heavy breasts.
"YES! I have known you for years and I keep coming over to your house not just to see Itsuki, but to see you, you dummy. Why did you think I didn't like you?"
He just smiled.
"Guys are dumb."
"Yes, you guys are. Anywho, I am walking you to the aisle. Usually, it is a wife thing, but I will do it myself. Consider it a gift to my best friend Itsuki. Fair?"
He nodded.
"Yeah, it's fair."
"Good, come on then, the groom has to be the first to arrive."
She grabbed his hand and helped him to his feet. She then walked over to his right side and started walking him toward the alter where the wedding would take place.
