Chapter 1466 - Marrying Isabella
Time passed. It was already the next day evening.
Ruth Empire Capital, in the Imperial Palace that seemingly reached thousand five hundred meters tall, stretching the tallest, many people gathered. This Imperial Palace was able to host more than a hundred thousand people who all possessed relevant status. They came from almost all the empires and powers present to congratulate the most powerful bride and groom in this lavish wedding ceremony that had taken place in the entire history of the Grand Sea Continent!
Davis and the others who were relevant and important to him were present at the highest floor while everybody else was taking part in the banquet. The entire city and even the surrounding cities held banquets because the influx of ordinary people arriving from the other empires and powers had reached a peak!
It was completely extravagant!!!
"Woah... so many people have gathered and are still arriving in droves..."
Evelynn’s eyes were wide as she had never seen so many amounts of people gathered in a single city or region. She mused that this city alone held more than five times the people that had come to her marriage with Davis, while if the other cities were included, it might cross ten times.
"That’s right, Evelynn. Even after the marriage is over, it’s going to be a massive celebration, full of festivities and banquets for the upcoming month. Father-in-law Mark Ruth not only wanted this to be the biggest and most expensive marriage in the history of the Grand Sea Continent, but also the commemoration of the Grand Sea Alliance, and to that end, he didn’t hesitate to squander his personal wealth, not even taking a single dime from Isabella or me or the Loret Empire."
Evelynn smiled at Davis, looking exhilarated.
The more people that came, the more they would know about her husband’s prowess.
The wealth that the Ruth Empire invested into this marriage was completely mindboggling to any person who had arrived that they looked practically worshipping the Ruth Empire. They all looked like they wanted to join the power and become powerful themselves. Unfortunately, the Ruth Empire already had powerful people, and their youths were also stronger.
Nonetheless, they also looked like they worshipped Davis and Isabella in accordance with their genders. After all, it became common knowledge that they were the strongest couple in the entire Grand Sea Continent.
"Brother-in-law! Imperial Father said that it was time to climb up the altar."
Davis and the others turned to look around, looking at the source of the voice, which was a man.
"So it’s time already..." Davis spoke as he flicked his sleeves.
Isabella knew that her marriage would happen here, so she also built a wide platform and a magnificent altar on the top floor to accommodate her marriage and many other ceremonies if needed.
Nevertheless, Davis couldn’t help but smile as he saw the person who smartly handed over his chance to the trial to gain ten diluted drops of Earth Dragon Immortal Blood Essence.
"Idric Ruth, seems like you’re just a thin line away from Martial Ascendance Stage?"
Idric Ruth’s eyes lit up as he felt like he was praised.
"Yes, brother-in-law. With the help of the ten diluted drops of blood essences and brother-in-law taking our gem away, it seems like I’m the next-in-line to the Ruth Empire’s Throne."
"Haha!"
"How are your half-siblings? Are they up to no good? Because I have little to no tolerance today, I might kill them before they even try to make a move."
Davis chuckled, causing Idric Ruth to gulp.
"No, brother-in-law. So far, it seems like they’re not doing anything to interrupt or try their chances. All is going well as planned."
"Good!"
Davis nodded and turned to look at his beautiful women, who were all dressed up gorgeously for today, wearing the traditional robes of the Ruth Empire while he wore the same, a golden-colored robe. Only the style was a bit different from a normal robe, with designs and patterns of the earth dragon, like its claws and other features, were all over the luxurious and silky fabric.
"Go, husband. We’ll be watching you." Natalya smiled along with the others.
Davis wryly smiled, feeling like wanting to give Natalya another marriage ceremony because there were little to no guests invited at that time when he married her, neither did she bother him for it. However, a woman’s time to shine was her marriage because she was the center of attention and one of the two main characters of that day.
He felt that he had done something minor for her, but fortunately, he had given her many resources, trying to compensate for that lackl.u.s.ter marriage without even realizing it.
And then, there was the cheeky Fiora who said that she was fine with being married the last. He turned to look at her, reaching out his hand to rub her head.
"You’re next..."
Fiora’s heart skipped a beat as she watched him turn around and leave.
"Aren’t you awfully bashful, Fiora?"
Evelynn giggled, causing Fiora to blush more as she lowered her head.
"Those are two different things. I’ve become his woman, but I’ve yet to be publically become his..."
Evelynn blinked as she didn’t expect a reply, but she looked at Natalya as her brows raised. As if working together, they began teasing Fiora until she blushed crimson.
Davis arrived at the ceremony platform and looked around the multitude of people and the huge uproar they made that fell on his ears in a buzzing noise. It was noisy alright, but at the same time, the number of people that began to cheer when they saw him numbered in the hundred thousand, making him feel pleased.
He didn’t know he had this many people who praised him as their idol because their shouts were rather most glaring over the ton of voices of the present in the capital.
At this moment, another bevy of screams resounded like crazy! Almost all the women in the crowd went insane as they screamed Isabella’s title. He turned and looked around, looking at the woman who wore a golden gown on top of a robe, walk towards the altar. Two women who appeared to be her half-sisters held the helm of her stunning golden gown as they let Isabella go and stopped themselves, looking dreamy as their eyes were glued to the outstanding groom.
A curve appeared on Davis’s lips as he also walked to the altar, looking relaxed and confident as he put his foot on the stairs at the same time as Isabella put a step on the stairs on the opposite side and soared up the Rising Dragon Altar.
Davis’s eyes reflected her golden-robed figure that appeared drop-dead gorgeous. She wore an artistic golden tiara that also had the shape of two dragons looking at each other, making her look incredibly attractive.
She looked magnificent in his eyes, almost making him stunned at the spot, but he took a step forward, walking to the groom’s throne.
Isabella saw him move and took a step forward herself. However, her eyes stayed on his figure as she took a good look at him before they both sat on their marvelous thrones at the same time, reaching out to hold their hands as the thrones were side by side.
Only then did Isabella turn to look at the humongous crowd many floors below the altar. There was also an entire locust of cultivators flying in the air, but they weren’t allowed to fly more than five hundred meters above the surface.
There were imperial troops at the fourth and commanders at the fifth stage, aligned in rows to maintain order. No matter who overstepped their bounds, it was fated that they would be killed today to commemorate the marriage ceremony like sacrifices.
The other palaces that were that more than five hundred meters tall had people of status gazing at them in reverence and awe or even jealousy over one of the two main characters of today.
All the Emperors were present, including the slave Emperors and Emperor Ashton. The latter was chilling with his counterparts, Logan Loret and Mark Ruth, on the floor below the platform on the top floor.
Nevertheless, it quickly became little of concern as Isabella turned to look at Davis, who hadn’t taken an eye off of her while she took the magnificence of her wedding ceremony into her eyes.
"Davis, I’m all yours now..." Her crimson lips moved, a tangible blush appearing on her delicate cheeks.
Only then did Davis come out of his reverie. She was too beautiful with makeup at such a close range that he forget himself for a moment. He couldn’t help but wryly smile.
"You were always mine from the moment I was born..."
"Silly..." Isabella lowered her head, appearing shyer than usual as her cheeks blushed more.
Davis grinned before he looked towards the crowd. After this, Logan and Mark Ruth stepped forward to declare that they are uniting as an alliance under this marriage while Louis Ashton did the same, promising his daughter Shirley to Davis, making the Grand Sea Alliance official and finalized from this moment onward.
Many thought this was a political marriage, including the one with Princess Shirley’s, but many also mused that Crown Prince Davis conquered them all. Nothing was clear, but they went with the atmosphere, enjoying the celebration as the skies turned dark from becoming night, but the festival lights were still lit, making the ceremony go on.
They then announced the cultivation bases of the groom and bride, garnering a lot of bellows and shrieks from the people below as they cheered and worshipped Davis and Isabella. Of course, Davis’s highest cultivation was said to be at the Martial Sage Stage, and Isabella’s was also the same, except at the Peak-Level, making them learn something new and extraordinary.
Other than their Body Tempering Cultivations, anything wasn’t told but now that the common populace knew how strong they truly were, and as a result, their hearts were filled with shock and complex emotions like fear and reverence overwhelming them.
Eighth Stage? They could only dream about reaching the Fifth Stage, let alone the eighth!
"Present the gifts..." Emperor Mark Ruth waved his sleeves while the numerous powers began walking out of their assigned places, heading to the ceremonial palace to hand over their gifts. Only the peak powers were allowed to gift to the ceremonial palace, while the others were demanded to hand it over to another palace because it wouldn’t be anything special.
Quite sometime later, after the gifting session was over, Davis stood up, walked to the edge of the altar, and raised his hand. Even without using any of his power, the multitude of people with various characters quietened down as if they were obedient children.
Davis felt like he had had all the power in the world to move the world as he pleases with the way they went silent over a mere gesture. He couldn’t help but imperceptibly grin as he put down his hand, reaching out to grab Isabella’s hand, who arrived beside him.
They both smiled at each other, their eyes becoming gentler and lovelier before they turned to look at the massive crowd that was gathered for them. The gaze of the masses was also on them, the entire city remaining utterly silent to hear their voices.
Davis’s lips moved as he declared his love for Isabella and swore to take her as his third, loving wife, never to forsake her, while Isabella did the same, swearing to treat him as her everything, taking him as her only husband in this life.
Looking at the two most powerful bride and groom who declared their love and loyalty for each other, many became deeply emotional as this marriage also marked a new beginning for the Grand Sea Continent.
"Congratulations to the Young Master of the Grand Sea Alliance!"
Countless people bowed as their loud voices resounded out. It didn’t end but continued to echo with more people joining the fray as they congratulated!
"Congratulations to the Young Master of the Grand Sea Alliance!"
"Congratulations to the Young Mistress of the Grand Sea Alliance!"
"Congratulations to the strongest husband and wife of the Grand Sea Alliance!"
The air vibrated with the tide of their voices. The bellows of congratulations lingered, causing the hearts of the youths and even the ones who passed their prime to boil. This was such a magnificent scene that they never thought they would be able to replicate it in their lives!
