The Wedding Day.
Everyone stands in front of the royal castle.
A stage was built against the castle wall.
They created a door so the queen and king and the castle people could come directly to the stage.
They covered the stage in white silk and filled it with flowers.
Gold banners with the country's symbol hang from the railings.
Barwell uses a magic item that makes sound louder for everyone to hear.
Barwell speaks. We welcome our king, King Alaric, to the stage.
King Alaric first comes to the stage.
Everyone applauds, all of the crowd shouts thank you King Alaric.
They thank him for the time he protected their country, for the rules that he tried to make Oakhaven a country for everyone.
He sits on his throne on the stage, they put it on the right side of the stage.
Barwell.
We welcome our beloved princess, everyone welcome the most beautiful bride in the world.
She stepped onto the stage and the entire crowd went dead silent. She wore a pure white silk gown that trailed behind her like a waterfall. The edges were stitched with thick gold thread that flashed in the sun.
The royal silver crown sat on her head, with a huge blue diamond in the center that looked like a piece of the sky.
She looked stunning. Her hair was perfect, and her face was so beautiful it made the people's hearts stop. She didn't just look like a girl in a dress. Everyone there knew at that moment, she was born to be their queen.
And the crowd goes crazy, screaming Lyra's name, and she sits down on the queen throne in the middle of the stage.
And the drums start drumming.
Barwell.
And we welcome our, he starts crying again, he looks at Princess Lyra, he sees Princess Lyra wants to kill him.
Oh sorry, sorry. He starts again.
We welcome the Crown Prince of Oakhaven, Liam, Oakhaven hero and soon to be king.
He enters the stage.
His outfit was made of heavy black silk with gold patterns stitched into the sleeves. Over his shoulders he wore a thick red royal cape that reached the floor.
On his head he wore a silver crown.
The people in the crowd all bowed at the same time. When they saw him some of the girls were crying in the crowd. The city's adventurers are all there screaming, they know having an overpowered king means a lot for a country.
He sits beside Lyra.
Liam starts speaking in Lyra's ear.
You look like a goddess. He grabs Lyra's hand.
She grabs his hand too.
King Alaric stands up, he raises his hand, the crowd goes silent. He starts speaking.
Oakhaven citizens, all of you know I'm getting older day by day.
I can't do what I did before. In those years that I ruled this country I tried all my best to be a good king. We were together for everything, we fought, we celebrated, we lived together in this wonderful country that my ancestors gave to me. Our blood for centuries rules this kingdom, it's time we mix our blood with another bloodline.
On this day I announce my retirement, I will give my throne to our hero, my son in law, Liam.
Barwell and a royal guard, while crying, go and take the crown from King Alaric's head and set it on a red velvet cushion, the guard holds it. Then he goes to Liam, he takes the silver crown and hands it to another guard.
He puts the king's crown on Liam's head.
Lyra and Liam stand up and go to the front of the stage, Barwell comes between them.
Everyone watching, some crying.
Barwell speaks.
Liam, do you take Lyra to be your wife and your queen?
Liam speaks.
I do.
Barwell speaks.
Lyra, do you take Liam to be your husband and your king?
Lyra speaks.
I do.
Barwell speaks.
Then I name you husband and wife, king and queen.
May you live forever.
They kissed.
The entire square explodes with cheers.
Thousands of people shout their names at once. Men toss their hats into the air and women wave white cloths. The sound is so loud it shakes the castle walls.
Soldiers standing along the walls bang their spears against their shields in a steady rhythm. The noise sounds like thunder.
Long live the king, long live the queen, the people scream over and over.
Liam and Lyra look out at the sea of people. The city of Oakhaven has never been this loud.
All of Oakhaven celebrated that night, every inn, every street was drinking and laughing, all over Oakhaven every conversation was about Lyra's beauty or Liam's power, how handsome and powerful he looked in those royal clothes.
The morning came, even people in the country had slept in the street, that's how hard they celebrated.
Lyra and Liam spent their second time sleeping together.
They are eating breakfast with Alaric, former king, Lyra's father.
Alaric speaks. Liam, from now on you have to call me father too, I don't accept anything else. Lyra, look, I'm getting close to death, I want to see my grandson.
She choked.
She started coughing violently, her face turning red as she tried to clear her throat. She pounded her chest with one hand while reaching for her water with the other.
Father, let us eat.
Ok, eat, I'm just saying.
Liam speaks.
Lyra, you know I can't stay in a palace every day of my life.
You have to do your queen things, you and I rule the kingdom together, with your father and Barwell's help.
I have to be ready to protect Oakhaven if something happens.
Alaric speaks. Fine, fine, it's a good plan, we will do that, but tell me, what is with all those girls staying behind you?
Yeah, that's Luna and that's Nyx, they are my bodyguards.
And that's Lilith, their sister.
The others are my servants, they are serving us now, Lyra took care of all those, don't worry King Alaric.
I said say father.
Fine. I have matters to go to. He kisses Lyra and looks back. Luna, Nyx, be ready.
We will, our king.
Liam disappears.
He reappears in Torin country that neighbors with Rask country.
Zulixa, you are silent.
Yeah, I turned myself off the moment you said yes to make Lyra your wife.
Why, you jealous of Lyra?
No, you're dumb, you know, I don't know why I chose you to get powerful in this world. I knew after that you kissed the bride and after that and after that, I didn't have to watch all of that, I turned myself off till now.
That's why you didn't congratulate me for becoming king.
Yeah, congratulations King Liam.
Thank you Zulixa.
Now Zulixa, I want to go to Rask country, I want to see that bastard High Veacon Rath, I want to be certain that that night it was him or not.
What? You want to go there unannounced? You are a king for god's sake, why do I have to tell you all this, a king visiting a neighboring country is a royal visit, you can't appear there like a farmer.
Ok, ok, ok, thank you, I forgot.
Luna, come here.
Yes master, sorry, my king.
Tell Lyra to send a message to Rask country and say I'm visiting them.
Tell her to use the magic item that sends messages to another country in a second.
As you wish my king.
Now Zulixa, if I give you control can you take me there but not so fast, let them do something till I get there.
Ok.
Then take control.
He vanishes into the shadow, Zulixa uses shadow jump to go.
After 5 hours she gives control back to Liam.
Liam, Liam, wake up, don't tell me you were sleeping.
Yeah, the moment you took control I slept, sorry.
Ok, this is it, this is in front of the royal castle. Queen Vane runs outside.
Welcome King Liam, did you come to marry me too, you want more than one kingdom, I can't believe you're so bad, but I don't have a choice, I have to agree to that, come on my king, come to your next royal castle.
Haha, hello Queen Vane.
They sat at the meeting table.
Sorry I came here fast, but I have to speak with High Veacon Rath.
I told him to come, he will be here in any minute.
He opens the door and comes and sits opposite Liam.
Welcome young king, congratulations on becoming king, it was the right choice for Oakhaven to have a powerful king.
Why did you come here Liam?
Liam told them about the fight between King Ghal and him.
High Veacon Rath.
If you think that was me, I was here all the time, even before the fight, I just heard one day after that Torin moved against Oakhaven. If I was there I could have stopped that crazy from attacking Oakhaven.
But I was not there, my body doesn't let me participate in a war, even if I just go to watch, I can't walk well, I can't run, I can't ride horses, I don't have any transport spell or ability to move.
It was not me. I'm not mad, you have every right to come and ask about it, after all they attacked your country.
Fine, I have to go, nice meeting you, we will talk later. If I find that man I will burn him alive and heal him and burn him again till he says everything about that plan against Oakhaven.
Yeah, do that Liam, and tell us what you find.
Liam goes to the outside of the city. I have to be in some places like that so I can transport outside the city if I ever want to.
He is in front of a lake, behind him.
Casting, anti magic field.
Casting another spell after that.
Seal zone.
Liam looks back, a group of Masked Adventurer is standing there.
Now you are sealed with us, we cast anti magic, you can't use magic, and seal zone, you can't go away, you are in our prison
