Chapter 288 Choosing Wedding Date



Leaving Zamira's place, I make my way to my mom's room. She had been a bit naggy about me not visiting her lately, but a sweet kiss and some affectionate words along with hot sex quickly calmed her down. We ended up spending some quality time together, and it felt good to catch up with her.

After our time together, I head back to Zamira's chambers, and we both decide to visit old man Duke. As we approach his room, we hear some intense feminine noises coming from inside, along with the unmistakable sounds of flesh clapping against each other. Zamira and I exchange amused glances, and even the guards seem to be a bit flustered.

"What's going on in there?" Zamira whispers, trying to stifle a giggle.

"I have no idea," I reply, trying not to burst into laughter myself.

After what feels like an eternity, the guards finally give us permission to enter old man Duke's room. As we step inside, our eyes fall upon a rather surprising scene. Old man Duke is lying on the bed with three maids hidden under the sheets.

"Um... Sorry to interrupt," I stammer, not sure how to handle the situation.

"Hoho, excuse this old man, ladies. This old man wants to have a chat with his family," Old man Duke says playfully to his maids, causing them to quickly scramble out of the room.

Zamira and I can't help but burst into laughter at the unexpected encounter. It's typical of old man Duke to be surrounded by a harem of maids, but it's still amusing to witness.

"I hope we didn't interrupt anything important," Zamira says, her voice filled with mirth.

"Oh, not at all. Those maids are always looking for any opportunity to entertain me," old man Duke says with a mischievous grin.

I shake my head, still chuckling. "You never change, do you, you Majesty?"

He winks at me. "Life is too short to be serious all the time, my boy. Now, what brings you two young lovebirds to my chambers?"

Zamira and I exchange a glance, and she nods for me to speak. "We wanted to talk to you about something important," I say, taking a deep breath.

Old man Duke sits up, looking serious. "Go on, I'm listening." Old man Duke says with a wink, knowing fully well about what I want to say since we've talked about it before.

Taking Zamira's hand in mine, I smile at her before turning back to old man Duke. "Zamira and I have decided to get engaged and eventually get married," I say confidently.

Old man Duke's eyes widen in surprise, and then a warm smile spreads across his face. "Well, it's about time, isn't it? I've been waiting for this day to come."

"Haha," I can't help but let out a small smile upon hearing Old man Duke's words. He always has a way of lightening the mood.

"Please, have a seat," Old man Duke says, gesturing to the wooden chairs behind us. I nod and gently guide Zamira to sit down beside me.I think you should take a look at

"So, when do you want the wedding to take place?" Old man Duke asks, looking at both of us curiously.

I turn my gaze to Zamira, waiting for her response. I feel it's best if she chooses the date since it's her special day.

Zamira's face turns slightly red upon sensing my gaze and old man Duke's inquisitive look. "I...I want it in two days," she mutters, her cheeks getting even redder.

"Haha, that's good! We'll hold the coronation ceremony, banquet, and wedding all together! This will be a grand celebration!!" Old man Duke announces with a wide grin, causing Zamira's face to blush even more. It's going to be a bit overwhelming since there will be so many people there to witness the usually composed and stoic ice princess getting married.

"D-Dad... Don't you think that's a bit too much?" Zamira asks with a stutter, placing her hand on her face in embarrassment.

"Hoho, do you know how long I have waited for my first child to get married? Even though you decided to marry your cousin's child, I am still overjoyed because I thought you didn't have any interest in men. I was expecting this to happen after the tournament, so I have sent a message to your mom. She's coming to your wedding!" Old man Duke throws another surprise.

"W-What... My mom is coming?" Zamira mutters in shock.

"Yes, Zamira. It seems she has gotten over Sid's death and thinks it's high time to care for the rest of her children. Moreover, she was also thrilled to learn that she would be expecting a grandchild and great-grandchildren!" Old man Duke explains.

Listening to his words, I can't help but feel a mix of emotions. I wonder what she looks. For some reason, I feel a newfound excitement at the thought of meeting her

And then, a mischievous idea pops into my head. What if I use this opportunity to get some payback on Old man Duke for all the mischief and teasing he's put me through in the past? It might be fun to turn the tables on him for once, fufufu.

Suddenly, Old Man Duke turns his attention towards me, his gaze showing gratitude.

"Jake, I want to thank you for your participation in the tournament and the prowess you showed. Although you were a bit unruly, you made the people realize that the Mystro family is not getting any weak. Since you're now one of the strongest vampires, I have an important task to give you. You might even take one person along with you," Old man mutters, his expression turning serious.
