Chapter 154 - Hey
Chapter 154 - Hey
"There is no more need for training at this point." Alexander thought aloud. "The benefits we get from constant friction between the Universe Kingdoms have been reaped in the form of battle ready armies in the hands of the various empires.. Right now the realm would benefit more from a unified force compared to many separate forces. The time is ripe for us to move to gain control of the main forces of this realm in one fell swoop."
"Indeed." Blackfire could only nod and agree. He felt absolutely out of place in such high level talks.
"Anyway, tell us about the final two types of dragons." Alexander reminded Blackfire.
"The second type is called the Royal Black White Dragon. Like the Royal Space Time Dragon, the Royal Black White Dragon has completely mastered the darkness and light element. This is an incredible feat, beyond that of the Royal Space Time Dragon. As you know, Space and Time are two elements which are not in direct contradiction to each other and are even complementary.
However, the Darkness and Light Elements are actually completely contradictory! Where light exists, darkness is relegated to the shadows. And even so, with enough light, even the shadows would disappear.
Light has always been the bane of Darkness. But at the same time, only Darkness could swallow the light. Mastering the Light Element would weaken the Darkness Element within you, and vice versa. The existence of a Black White Dragon is an incredible miracle which I have yet to fully get my head around.
There is only one who has managed to do it, and I guess only he knows exactly what it means to be a Royal Black White Dragon. Like the Royal Space Time Dragons, he serves Magius as well.
"I fail to see how two contradictory powers could work synergistically." Alexander frowned.
"Yes, that is part of the mystery of the Royal Black White Dragon, Lothar Guntarma." Blackfire agreed. "But his power is undeniable. Lothar Guntarma serves as Magius's chief assassin. Every single time he kills a target, he would leave behind an ethereal black and white rose as his signature.
Countless rogue dragons, Scions of Zegaro and Perses had fallen to his powers. He alone is responsible for killing almost thirty percent of all the known evil Scions."
"Hmmm. What about the final type?" Alexander asked.
"The final type is the most powerful fighter in the whole Universe. There are only two in existence and they are twins. They are both way too strong for the Royal Space Time Dragon to wipe out from existence, and I believe that not even Lothar Guntarma would be able to kill them. They are the Royal War Dragons.
They serve Magius as Generals of his Shocktrooper Armies. Not much is known about them and their armies. We only know whatever Magius had informed us. And that is they both represent his will and if we are to meet them anywhere and under any sort of situation, we are to obey them as though we are obeying him.
They take on the most critical missions of the realm, and I would not be surprised if Magius had them to undertake missions in other realms." Blackfire speculated.
"I am glad that we still have such powerful figures and troops on our side. It seems to me that Magius had not been idling around in the years that had passed after the war. His armies would be the cornerstone of our defence of the realm should the Ascendant Realm invade." Alexander nodded with satisfaction.
"We are way too weak and too under-staffed to create powerful armies of our own. The best we can do is to cobble together the best fighters of Symphonia and the mercenaries, and use them in such a way that their strengths are maximised and weaknesses are covered." Aleyria remarked.
"Do not worry about using them well. I will make sure to pick our battles and only fight those we can win. However, to do that, I would need as much information about our enemies as possible. And as such, my trip to the lower realm is extremely important. I would prefer to go as soon as possible." Alexander said.
Aleyria looked deep into his eyes and found an endless well of determination and confidence, and she felt her heart flutter slightly. She nodded heavily and agreed.
"However, before I do that. There is one extremely important thing that I need to do first." Alexander said seriously to Aleyria.
"What is that? I will help you get it done." Aleyria immediately responded.
"Yes, you definitely can help me. I have to… Marry you first." Alexander said with a smile as he stretched out his hands to pull Aleyria close to him.
"Ehm. I have to go check on Dubaza." Blackfire said and quickly ran away. He couldn't stand seeing those two act so lovey dovey.
Both Alexander and Aleyria ignored him completely. They only had eyes for each other.
There was no need for words. There was no need for Alexander to 'pop' the question. Aleyria was already completely his. And his decision to marry her was simply an outflow of the desires of their hearts.
Alexander gently ran his fingers down Aleyria's impossibly beautiful face, feeling the smooth contour of her cheeks. Upon reaching her chin, he lifted it slightly so that her lips were poised perfectly beneath his.
Slowly, with a rapidly rising sense of anticipation in both their hearts, he lowered his lips towards hers. Aleyria closed her eyes and surrendered herself into Alexander's control.
When his lips finally met hers, Aleyria felt utter and complete bliss. In his embrace and with his lips upon hers, she was home.
When Alexander made the announcement that he would be marrying Aleyria, the entire nation of Rin-Turah rejoiced.
Their beloved King and disciple, Princess Aleyria were the pillars of the nation, and seeing both of them in love and about to get married to each other gave them a deep and fierce satisfaction in their hearts. There would not be complications of having to deal with a queen that comes from a different country or a prince of a big nation that could somehow make things complicated for them.
King Aloxandros and Princess Aleyria were the perfect match, and it kept the power of Rin-Turah completely within itself.
A massive nationwide celebration immediately entered the planning phase and strangely, Caerose and Flamewing had somehow made themselves the Chief and Vice Chief of the Wedding Committee.
Kings, Queens, Clan leaders, Merchant Princes and every single person of note within the continent and even from the main continent were invited. By that time, the story of Alexander's feat in killing the Lich King had spread all throughout the entire planet, and everybody invited immediately responded that they would be present for the wedding. They all wanted to show their respect and their goodwill to the most powerful King of the planet.
"Took them long enough." Fluff-fluff commented when she read the invitation that was on Lyra's hands. "They're not young any more and the whole realm is about to explode into chaos. Them getting married now would be for the best."
"Hmmm. I always knew that Alexander was not a simple person the moment I saw him. To think that he could grow to such an extent… I had hoped that his Wyverns would help us ease the pressure of fighting against the undead army." Lyra laughed loudly at that point. "I never expected him to deal with the root of the problem immediately! He truly made my life much easier."
"So? I assume you'll attend the wedding?" Fluff-fluff asked.
"Of course I will. Aleyria is like a sister to me. I need to give her the most wonderful present in the world! Fluff-fluff, work your magic and make something wonderful come to me." Lyra commanded her contract beast.
Fluff-fluff snorted lightly. "She doesn't need anything that I can give her. She's the new Sovereign of Luck, remember? She probably has every single thing that she could ever wish for, plus a bevy of other things that she didn't know that she wanted. Heck, she might even find a Black Hexacrow Beast Core to consume for her wedding night!"
Lyra laughed. "I thought you said they are extinct. I don't think that her luck would be as heaven-defying as that."
"Do not underestimate the power of luck." Fluff-fluff merely said.

"Should we break it in half and consume it together?" Alexander asked.
"Sure." Aleyria replied with a smile.
CRACK!
Alexander gave half of the Black Hexacrow Beast Core to Aleyria and the both consumed it together.
Immediately, huge waves of pleasure began to assault them from every single pore of their body.
"Ah! This sensation… The wind feels so good! It's so comfortable." Aleyria cried out as she closed her eyes to enjoy the gentle wind caressing her skin.
Alexander closed his eyes as well and took a deep breath before slowly releasing it.
What a powerful beast core!
He had never felt so good in his life. And it was just the wind.
He opened his eyes and pulled Aleyria into his embrace gently.
"Hey.." Alexander said with a voice filled with desire.
