Chapter 372 Wedding Conclusion

?

Alexander had ordered a general holiday today, and the hundred and fifty thousand people of the city were given a free lunch of chicken, beef, and fish soup with two very thick slices of bread mixed with vegetables.

And as many lucky ones from the group got a lantern to gift to the gods, their collective effort made Zanzan's sky become dazzling for a while, a phenomenon that was noticed by all the neighboring areas of the city, with all drawing a variety of reasons for the sight, ranging from the gods descending to bless the city, to the gods descending to destroy the city.

The lantern release lasted until most of the lanterns were used up, and as the excited guests sat around the dining tables, they were soon served the wedding cake and pitchers full of fruit juices mixed with honey and sugar.

The large cheesecake slice was white with two red and yellow alternate layers of strawberry jam and lemon curd, topped off with flowers made of creamy with fruits and nuts on top.

And as the guests cut into the slice with their silverware and put a small piece into their mouth, they felt an explosion of flavors they never knew existed.

It was creamy, sweet, tangy, and fruity all at the same time, as all the men and women there learned for the first time that bread could actually be so soft and yummy.

"I need to get Alex to tell me how to make this," Mikaya had a forceful, almost crazed look on her face as she blurted this out, her cheery lips glazed with white cream.

This 'wedding cake' was the thing that finally stole her heart.

Alexander too found the cake to be not half bad, a bit dense than he would have liked, but still decent.

'Looks like the last week was not a waste,' Alexander was relieved that Mean and her team had managed to successfully pull this off.

By the time the cake slices had been finished and glasses full of fruit juice and wine had been drunk, it was already deep into the night, around 8 o'clock by Alexander's estimate, and finally deciding it was getting enough, he made one last toast, raising his ornate glass goblet,

"Honored guests, this pasha again thanks you for taking the time to attend and partake in this one's celebrations. This day would not have been the day it was without you. So I thank you." Alexander finished by gulping down the wine, which soon others followed while paying some last-minute compliments to the couple.

And this was followed by the tradition of the groom gifting the guests.

Usually, it would be just simple food items such as nuts and berries.

But Alexander had decided to go the extra mile. gifting each of the guests a nicely bowed luxurious wooden box covered with velvet, inside of which was a small bar of soap wrapped in beautiful, patterned wrapping paper, a hundred grams of sugar in sealed paper bags, and a small beautiful hand mirror inside a steel frame, accompanied by the usual assortments of various nuts and berries.

The guests did not recognize the soap and sugar at first but for now, they were captivated by the mirror the pasha had gifted them, finding it hard to believe that their faces were being reflected with such clarity.

p?nd?---no??1,?o? Even under the soft glow of the touch light, these people marveled at seeing their faces being displayed with such sharpness across the smooth surface, as they excited thought how it would look in the morning under the bright sunlight.

Alexander had gone through a lot of trouble to produce these beautiful mirrors, using a layer of silver to make them as reflective as possible, whereas regular mirrors would use copper or mercury.

He even thought of using gold but was talked out of it by Cambyses because the wedding costs were already soaring high.

And later, Alexander gently explained that the one in the colorful wrapping was used to wash the body and made it smell like perfume, while the white powder in the white bag was the sugar he had described, making everyone once again praise how generous and big-hearted the Pasha was.

The sugar especially moved everyone as they could hardly believe that Alexander was just gifting them such precious ingredients.

And with this gift-giving ceremony, finally came to an end of the wedding ceremonies.

Or at least of those to be performed in the temple.

For traditionally, all this celebration would have occurred in the bride's house.

And then, with the festivities concluded, it would be the turn for the groom to take his bride to her new home- to his house.

And so Alexander and Cambyes again made their way out of the temple, this time the walkway lit up by overhead lanterns that made the special stones in the walkway look like little balls of fire, as the parade was restarted once again.

And as the carriage marched through the streets, the crowd seemed to have not dispersed not bit, making the journey a brightly torchlit procession while the guests and citizenry threw nuts and sang traditional Adhanian songs which were quite suggestive in nature, making Cambyses lightly blush.

This parade lasted till Alexander reached his manor, and as the couple disembarked in front of the manor, Cambyses was handed a special torch, called the wedding torch which she tossed into the crowd.

According to Adhanian tradition, whoever managed to catch it was supposed to enjoy a long life, and Alexander spotted quite a few eager hands wrestling for the chance to grab it.

This was impressive considering the torch was still flaming and no doubt a dramatic moment while the modern parallel custom of the bride throwing her bouquet to the crowd seemed a bit tame in comparison.

After this, Alexander and Cambyses both rubbed oil and fat on the doorposts of the house and once inside, she symbolically touched around the fireplace inside the outer hall, declaring herself

the guardian of the hearth from now on, and lastly Alexander picked her up in her arms and princess carried Cambyses to her nuptial chambers.

Hence came an end to a very long day, but began a very long night for Alexander and Cambyses.

The staff of the manor were prudent enough to provide a large tub of hot water inside the room so that the couple would refresh themselves, and Alexander was helping Cambyses do just that as he took off her clothes one by one.

"So, how did you spend on the marriage?" Cambyses seemed more interested in the cost of the marriage than the fact she was becoming naked as she took off all her jewelry.

"Hahaha, the fastest way to become rich is to steal it," And Alexander gave a seemingly unrelated answer.

But it basically meant that without him robbing the Grand Ramuh Temple, this wedding might not have been possible, which indicated a large sum even for Alexander.

He had once tried to keep track of all the expenses but gave up mid-way because there were so many and so varied.

"This bra looks good on you," Alexander then commented seeing the red cloth bind her breasts which he helped to unclasp before giving them a squeeze.

They felt fantastic, a little small but firm and perky.

"Mmmm, let's get into the birth first, we can start after," Cambyses moaned, as she felt Alexander sniff around her armpits, and say, "But I like you just as you are now. The smell is so strong, I can't wait."

"Nooo…pervert," Cambyses faked a cry of reluctance as the man then expertly continued to strip off Cambyses's layered clothing one by one, until she was just wearing a red pair of underwear.

And as Cambyses stood with her butt facing Alexander, the red cloth made Alexander charge towards it like a bull, as he kneeled down and growled, "Stand still and don't move," before diving this nose into the heavenly garment.

"Nooo, Alex, what …ahhh…are you doing… oohhh," Cambyses was shocked by Alexander sniffing her butt after using it the whole day, and even felt an electrifying shock run through her spine when Alexander wet tongue licked her flower through the panty.

And Alexander, for his part found the experience almost profound, as the juicy buttcheeks smashed his face in and his nose drank in the concentrated, musky flavors.

He even kissed Cambyses's puckered hole through the cloth and felt that Cambyses taking a bath would be such a waste.

But the shy girl had not degenerated to Alexander's level and so with a strong push, she freed herself and instead run to jump into the hot tub, douching herself in the relaxing hot water.

While seeing his prey escape for the time being, Alexander undressed himself, and promptly joined Cambyses, and then soon started the second round.

He made her sit on his lap in the large wooden tub, rubbing her flower and making her moan, as the girl soon came.

Then the action moved to the bed, as Alexander made Cambyses lie down and push her butt up, while he worshipped the magnificent piece of flesh.

"Ohhh, don't bite it," Cambyses cried as Alexander did not just kiss and suck the holes, he even bit around the tanned ass, leaving red teeth marks on the ass, while his fingers pumped in and out of the two holes, soon making Cambyses squirt.

In this way, the couple enjoyed almost till dawn, with Cambyses being filled in all three holes, as she screamed lewd songs such as "Ahhh, my asshole, my asshole feels so goood. Pound it harder. Make it yours."
