Chapter 64: 1 Day Wedding
I dropped off the necklace with her butler that same night.
The next morning I sent the 4 of them off to start planning the wedding.
It took 2 weeks of planning but the big day is finally here.
I am standing at the altar, duke Mayburry is doing the ceremony. I am dressed in the light version of my armor. I have a red sash with gold lining tied with a slipknot around my right lower arm, it's loose. Roka comes in with a blue wedding gown, she also has the sash's the other half tied around her lower arm loosely.
Her father the emperor is walking her down the aisle. Sebastian is to my left with a knife on a cushion. They come walking up in tune with the music. It doesn't feel ceremonial, I feel happy when I listen to the tune.
They stop in front of me.
The music stops.
The duke begins:
"Present your Lobola, lord Kaijuu."
I take the cushion with the knife on it and go down on one knee.
"Emperor Raymond Shadow-Wolf, I present you with your life, will you accept this in exchange for your daughter's hand in marriage."
"I accept, please rise."
I do.
He takes the knife with his left hand, Sebastian takes the cushion.
The emperor takes his left hand that's holding Roka's hand and gives it to me.
The emperor bows and turns around and takes a front row seat.
Roka and I move our sashes to our upper arm and pull it tight. We hold hands again and face each other.
"Roka Shadow-Wolf do you promise to honor and obey lord Ryu Kaijuu in all things until death parts you from him, If you agree please seal your promise."
She lets go of my hands holds my cheeks and pulls me in and kisses me on the mouth.
"The promise is sealed"
He turns to me.
"Lord Ryu Kaijuu do you take Roka Shadow-Wolf under your protection, to care for her in all her needs until death parts you from her, thereby making her your wife. If you agree please seal your promise, after which she will be known as Roka Kaijuu."
She takes a knee. I lean over and kiss her on the forehead and stand back up. I then offer her my hand and she takes it and stands up
"The promise is sealed"
The duke takes both of our sashes, one in each hand.
"The red cloth of fate is bound. Ladies and gentlemen Mr. and Mrs. Kaijuu."
The audience stands and applauds.
We hold hands and face the exit.
The applause dies down.
"The bride will now determine the method of extraction."
Roka steps forward leading me through to the exit.
We leave.
We get outside.
"I'll see you soon."
"Yes, see you soon Ryu"
Once we get outside I head to my left, she heads to her right.
I round the corner and enter the building again.
Diva Divine is there, she loosens my sash and moves it down and ties another one exactly like the previous to my lower arm. Both are now loosely hanging on my lower arm.
She opens the door. I head straight through.
Same as before I stand at the altar, Sebastian is next to me. The audience is different.
The music starts, It kind of sounds like light rock music.
Roka's sitting about a meter toward the back on a stage of where the bridesmaids would usually stand.
She still has her sash on still tight on her upper arm.
Felmina comes in and her father walks her down the aisle at pace with the music.
She's wearing a black wedding dress, with a rose in her hair.
They stop in front of me.
The music stops.
The duke begins:
"We will now hear from the first wife of lord Kaijuu, Roka Kaijuu-sama"
He gestures to Roka. She stands:
"I approve of and bless this union."
She takes a seat.
I move the first sach up and pull it tight.
"Present your Lobola, lord Kaijuu."
I take the cushion with a scroll sealed with the kaijuu bears symbol on it and go down on one knee.
"Lord Henry Morris, I present you with my aid in your time of need, will you accept this in exchange for your daughter's hand in marriage."
He hesitates. I can feel Felmina giving him a death glare...
Finally.
"I accept, please rise."
I do.
He takes the scroll with his left hand, Sebatian takes the cushion.
Felmina's father takes his left hand that's holding Felmina's hand and gives it to me.
He turns around and takes a front row seat, same as before.
Felmina and I move our saches to our upper arm and pull it tight. We hold hands again and face eachother.
"Felmina Shadow-Wolf formerly Felmina Morris do you promise to honor and obey lord Ryu Kaijuu in all things until death parts you from him, If you agree please seal your promise."
She lets go of my hands and pulls me in for the kiss.
"The promise is sealed"
He turns to me.
"Lord Ryu Kaijuu do you take Felmina Shadow-Wolf under your protection, to care for her in all her needs until death parts you from her, thereby making her your wife. If you agree please seal your promise, afterwhich she will be known as Felmina Kaijuu."
She takes a knee. I lean over again and kiss her on the forehead.
I stand back up. I then offer her my hand. She gets up on her own then takes my hand.
"The promise is sealed"
The duke takes both of our saches, one in each hand, obviosly the one representing Felmina.
"The red cloth of fate is bound. Ladies and gentlemen Mr and Mrs Kaijuu."
The audience stands and applauds.
We hold hands and face the exit.
The applause dies down.
"The bride will now determine the method of extracion."
Felmina puts her hand on my shoulder and slinks around toward my back, then lightly taps my shoulder.
It's the signal, I lower my stance.
Felmina jumps on my back with her fist in the air, I carry her outside.
We get outside.
I head to my left again round 2 corners then enter through to the same place after Roka's wedding.
Felmina heads to her right to join the last ceremony.
The Third Ceremony's Music is a gentle flute and violin number.
Milly enters with her mother Elizabeth on her left and Victoria on her right.
Milly's wearing a white wedding gown with same pastel green trim as her short hair. with her emerald colored eyes.
The Ceremony proceeds exaclty the same as the previous two, the only difference is that Roka and Felmina approves and blesses it respectively.
Insert Milinda White where applicable.
I present Elizabeth with a key to her new house in the Moonlight district close to ours, she accepts.
I present Victoria with a similar scroll representing my protection of her family, here in the capital also for those who choose to accompany us home, and she accepts.
Also the sach is red with white lining this time and unbroken.
After the duke says:
"The red cloth of fate is bound. Ladies and gentlemen Mr and Mrs Kaijuu."
We pull the sash until it tears neatly down the center.
Milly's sash lining remains white while mine turns gold.
The audience stands and applauds.
We hold hands and face the exit same as before.
The applause dies down.
"The bride will now determine the method of extracion."
I bend down and she leaps into my arms. I carry her Princess style to the exit.
We both turn right as we exit and enter the same place I entered before, we all change inside. then head to Felmina's ceremony location.
We all enter together. They rearranged the place and put tables in. then the walls dividing the 3 ceremonies rises and they all connect now, the musicians gather up and start playing. Our table is prepped and we take a seat and start the feast.
If you look at us from the front It's me on the far left, then to my left Roka, Felmina, Milly.
Then about 20 minutes later the section we entered from rises and reveals a dancefloor.
I practiced with a professional instructor the entire week for this, I dance with them each in turn. Then we drink and make merry for the rest of the night.
Diva Divine Delivered I must say, even when the musicians combined the instruments didn't clash at all.
I enjoyed myself, by the looks on my wives' faces they did too.
