Chapter 229 - I'm not trying to show everyone my Buttocks!

The two love birds, finally managed to go a big step forward in their relationship. Although Seer proposed sooner than he originally planned too, it isn't exactly a problem. They can afford it, King Zar is even very willing to lend a hand. Speaking of King Zar, when he heard the news he became more happy than Seer himself.

"Congratulations!" He shouted with joy, his voice echoing through the dinning room and he even almost choked on his Ale! It wasn't exactly a shock, but he didn't feel like Seer can do it! Especially after taking the recent lives lost in battle, knowing Seer he would want to show respect for the souls and their families.

Zar stood up and did something he doesn't quite commonly do, he approached Seer and gave a tight strong hug. Zar is a lot buffer and even a bit taller, he doesn't exactly know how to hug either which ended up with Seer being lifted a few inches off the ground. "Congratulations." He repeated once more, before letting go of Seer. His entire face was smiling and not because he was partially drunk either.

"I hope your offer to do the wedding ceremony here still stands?" It is not like he wants to take advantage of his position, he just has an intend of not being seen by everyone doing the wedding. He wants to keep it as low key as possible. And where would one accomplish such a task easier than in a Castle? Sure it is a public attraction but no one can enter without the Guards letting them in, a activity of which Castle officials have to be included one way or the other.

"Oh for sure, when do you want to host it?" King Zar's enthusiasm still remained strong, he is more than willing to lend the entire Castle for a day, it isn't a big issue and wouldn't stop any important matters. But all they actually need is the first floor, it is big enough.

"Amazing, can we do it tomorrow?There is no time to waste and I would like to do a so called "Private wedding." There will only be a handful of people, friends mostly." Seer's request is indeed easy to tackle, in fact King Zar wanted to do a lot more!

"Of course, lets have it in mid day so the maids have time to prepare the feast. Just tell me exactly how many people you wish to invite?" Although willing and a bit drunk, he still wants to be sure. This special event can't have any setbacks, everything has to be perfect!

"Ugh, I talked it over with Maleesa. She will only invite 10 people and it is the same case with me, do 20 in total." You would think that with no family in this Kingdom, who would they invite? Well, people they met through work mostly. When Seer began to become more open minded under the King's orders, he made many great Ignite friends. Now, sometimes he even puts aside reading a book to go sip some ale with his buddies, crazy I know. As for Maleesa, helping many of the Homeless with her Salary has made her a town favourite, for the Ignites at least.

"Wonderful, tell the guest that the wedding is at mid day. Write some invitations maybe?"

...

The next day, as planned before time. Everything went how it is supposed too! The guests all arrived, 5 tables where set one after the other in the Throne room since it is the biggest room in the first flour, it is perfect for such an event. It is roomy so people don't really have to snug in together to the point of awkwardness.

To make this day even more memorable, King Zar even brought up the Ignite stone encrusted chandeliers he didn't exactly like. Its Origin didn't bother him, it just looked to fancy. He is a man who takes off his armour only when he falls asleep, his sense of decor doesn't exactly link with such luxury to have it over his head every day. But for such a case it is worth the time!

To break the ground with Luxury, the tables were filled with Silverware primarily! That's not a usual case, since Silver isn't used in weaponry Silver tends to be more rare and therefore more expensive. For a start, a Silver Ingot costs 50 Gold Coins! Although no one had the intend to calculate such detail, just the Silverware here costs 1,000 Gold Coins! King Zar went all out, he isn't letting Seer pay a dime. Seer's Contribution to the Kingdom is immeasurable, he is doing the work that anyone else wouldn't want too. His work is nerve wrecking!

Do you want to know the most important part of this attempt to go an extra mile? King Zar for once was seen not wearing Armour! This is indeed rare, because for the past decade apart from Armour he was only seen wearing night clothing as mentioned in Volume 3.

What would he be wearing you might ask? Well he isn't the most stylish person here neither does he know anything about such interests, but he did not fail to disappoint. Wearing Black silk pants and a dark blue Linen coat with dark triangle like sewing around his collar and sleeves. Luxury exclusively imported all the way from Zameria. It is hard to find them here in Occidentis Ignis! He got them just for this event, he felt like it might happen soon.

To accompany his elegance, he also wore his Crown of course to resemble his Authority! Everyone was left at shock even after considering the King's status, as mentioned he is never seen with such clothing.

When King Zar arrived, the Ceremony officially started. How? Well since Maleesa's family isn't here, King Zar took the role of her father even though he is a lot younger than her. He had to walk out through the back entrance so he can join Maleesa in front of the Castle.

Holding her arm, he walked in the Throne room with her. With instruments being a bit rare here, all the Castle could afford in short notice was to hire some drummers. The drummers wouldn't want to rush the King along with the bride, so they were told to start light ear comforting music. However it didn't at all fail to bring anticipation!

Although King Zar stunning, Maleesa was dressed beautifully as well. A White Wedding Dress hung a bit widely on her, but just because she chose so. She even had a bit of an argument with the Tailors since they wanted to dress her with cloth that clinged tightly on her body. Her main reference remained, "I'm not a teenager, I'm not trying to show my buttocks to everyone."

Although not common for him with other cases, Seer was becoming more nervous by the passing moment. Seeing her looking this stunning, without actually fixing her hair even keeping them into a bun. He realized how lucky he is, about to marry a woman who got such an amazing appearance accompanied by the most purest of Heart.

She walked along with King Zar all the way near the Throne, where Seer was waiting for her. The tradition a bit different no doubt, a lady was holding the marriage rings ready to provide them to the couple.

King Zar took a light grip on the rings and handed one of them to Maleesa and the other to Seer. According to the Kingdom's bit of tradition mostly brought here from Gaster Kingdom, the couple has to put the ring on each other and exchange one Sweet heart felt reference in the process.

Seer started it off, putting the ring on her hand and expressed with his tone cracking in nervousness at first. "You, came into my life when I thought that I will never love again. You opened my eyes towards further possibilities and I am forever grateful. I am the most honoured, to call you my life Partner."

Dropping a tear of joy, her lip started shivering a bit before she gently put the ring on his now considered Husband! The doc.u.mentation work was done yesterday, all they had to do is put rings on each other. Since Maleesa accepted a Ring from the proposal yesterday, this will be the second ring on her hand. "You are a unique man and I do love you. You share different interests, not found in the common folk. We all know how many times we were in a Room alone, you never took advantage of me but it went quite the other way around hehe."

She continued to giggle after, didn't exactly feel shy to express such acts in front of everyone here. Breaking the tradition she continued with a second sentence, but no one minded it. "I'm happy to share my life with you, my only wish was to meet you earlier instead of in this age. But even though a bit late, I'm happy to share the rest of my life with you."

Grabbing a Silver Goblet of Apple Ale and raising it high, King Zar firmly stated. "A toast, to the new couple!"

Followed by dancing after, with the beating of the drum becoming a bit more fast paced to meet with the now louder crowd, everyone started enjoying their time even further. Most were dancing, even some of the maids of which Seer insisted for them to come. But King Zar was sitting on his throne, enjoying everyone smile and even laugh in joy. The crowd small but no doubt impactful.

King Zar was alone, until a fine ill.u.s.tratian lady with short green wines approached, bowed down while reaching out her hand and asked. "May I have this Dance?"
