Chapter 154: High end drama

"Are you sure? I bet no one is going to come. The level of humiliation and shame they will face is something that will bother them. Since they belong to royal families, I know one thing about them. They all can lose their life but not their face. Who wants to be associated with the daughter of a traitor?" Desellla questioned back.

"Just wait dear" Severus left her hanging in suspense.

Indeed, after half an hour, an entourage came sauntering inside the chamber. The leader of Hui Island, Gui Song, followed by little kid Shino entered. Severus was startled when he observed how much Shino had grown up. Not only his height but his aura changed drastically. It was as if he became mature overnight. Selena was dressed up soberly unlike her previous self-looking like a coated doll. She was carrying a simple beige color gown, with small diamond earrings that accentuated her fair neck. Like her sister, she too stole breath out of men.

Deadly sisters.

They exchanged greetings with the crown prince and Selena gave a simple handcrafted shawl to her sister as a gift, Melanie faces soured. Although she tried hiding it, her glaring eyes said otherwise. Selena felt dis-heartened. Only she knows how much hard work she had put in it but here her dear sister did not even acknowledge it.

As Selena was sulking, she felt someone's stares. When she looked up, she saw Desella scowling at her. She was startled as she was unaware of what wrong she did but soon her yes spotted Severus.

Selena nearly fainted when she saw him. She never thought Severus was any less than god but now, he even looked godly.

Far from her reach.

"It's unfair" She grumbled.

"What's unfair?" Shino, who was standing beside her, listened to her grumbling, so he asked about it. "Why are men so beautiful?"

"..."

"I know I am beautiful but please princess don't make it so obvious. I might blush."

".."

"Hey. stop dreaming. You are not beautiful but you do look like a pig. I am talking about Severus. My, why is he so beautiful?" Selena nearly cried.

Without any care, Selena trotted towards Severus.

"Severus" she wailed in surprise.

"Ah! Who is this beauty? Let me guess. Umm...OH! Aren't you Selena?" Servers too started flirting.

Desella" ..."

The poor fork held by Desella became an object for her outburst.

Poor fated fork dis-figured.

"Jeez. Severus. You look so good."

"Just good?" He frowned, acting unsure.

No. No.

Selena started panicking. "I mean you look very handsome. Handsomest of all" She blushed at the ending of her sentence.

"Eshh....You little devil. Why are you standing? Have a seat" Severus offered.

"No, we can't" A loud sound interrupted their conversation.

Idiot Shino….

A young boy wearing an all-black outfit came following Selena. He was huffing. Surely, he ran after Selena. "Oh, it's Shino. Hello Shino"

"Hello, Severus!" He greeted them, respectively. After Severus helped them, each and every person of Hui Island felt indebted to Severus. If not for him, they all would have continued to live their pathetic lives.

"I am sorry to interrupt but we already have seats reserved for us. If we don't sit in our seats, then I am afraid we may sound rude to royal couple Selena."

Selena pouted in dis-agreement.

"Yea, it is a crucial time for your Island. You should not create unnecessary troubles". Desella piped in.

Severus" ..."

"Ah, I see. It is okay then. You all can join us later. Selena come here" Severus called her.

Selena happily hopped towards Severus as she leaned closer to him. Severus too bowed to whisper. "It's okay. Cost never matters when we give gifts to someone but what actually does matter is our intent. Whether we are true, our feelings are genuine or not and I am sure your feelings were cent percent honest so don't get disheartened because of it." After saying this he gently patted her head.

Selena felt warm inside when she heard him. She felt fuzzy inside as spring once again came for her. "Aye Aye. I will remember Severus".

"Good girl. By the way, you look very pretty today Selena"

TAN!

The fork slipped from Desella's hand.

"Oh sorry" She apologized with gritted teeth.

"Oh, you don't need to be. I will meet you later Severus" Selena waved her hand as she took her leave.

Che!

Both are so similar.

White-faced lotus.

Desella cursed Song sisters.

"Something the matter?" Severus asked Desella when he noticed how uncomfortable she was.

Desella maintained her smile which looked way too ugly. "Nothing"

'Okhay, if you say so."

Another half an hour passed.

Severus was feeling sleepy when he saw something which shook his insides. Currently, Noworry was following Maverick.

"Desella I will be back in a minute" Severus left the room in a panic.

"Where are you going? Severus" No matter how much she called him, Severus did not respond. Since it was occasion now, she could not afford to create chaos or else their plan would foil. To avoid troubles she sat there, as calm as she can, or else pretend to be but her clenched fist inside her sleeves betrayed her. She was so anxious that she started fidgeting. She was not even able to hold her spoon because of anxiety thus she stopped eating.

"Be safe Severus. I beg you" She prayed with everything she got.

Inside the photo of the ex-empress.

Marquis was raging as he punched the wall. "Where is that bitch? How can she escape from my clutches? How? How? How? Something must have happened. Did someone find out about this room? No no…. what I am saying. This is impossible. No one cane...no one." Marquis was trying to reassure her panicky heart when he was struck by realization.

"Did Severus by any chance find the room? No how can he...he does not know about anything. Damn that brat, even came back after his death. What bullshit phoenix destiny. How can he be alive after I personally confirmed his death?"

Aahaahahahaaa

He screamed like crazy.

"Tch all my plans are foiled. I wanted to use her soul components to activate the spell, but I think I need to do it the hard way. I also need to kill that damn brat before he can come to stop me. Ufff… No matter how many assassination attempts I tried on him, he survived every one of them. Not one of them managed to scratch him and that useless daughter-in-law of mine. I thought she was sensible and smart, but she too failed me. I don't understand what is so hard about killing a person twice. She already stabbed him once, what is there to fear to stab him a second time? He was such an easy target, a fool in love but no. My useless daughter-in-law just foils my plan."

"Calm"

"Calm"

"Calm"

"Calm yourself Marquis. You did it once and you can do it again. I am sure that cursed child powers are now even more destructible now since he reincarnated. I just need to kill him and use his blood to fuse in me to obtain powers".

Marquis stormed out as he returned to the spiritual chamber with an extremely somber expression.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunshots resounded in the room. Soon troops of soldiers marched inside the room blocking all the entrances. Everyone was shocked when they saw such a high-end drama happening at the wedding. Murmurs and whispers started happening.

"What is happening?"

"Oh my god such a drama?'

"I bet something interesting is going to happen."

"How do you know?"

"I bet you don't know but that man sitting there in a wine shirt is no ordinary man. People say that he is a monk from Vasey hills who survived the tragedy that happened years ago there. He recently went to Hui Island and killed the Shui Song. It was a brutal cold death. Within three days he managed to bring down lordship in an unknown region. Although we do not have an estimate of his powers, we all know how hard it is. Bringing a current lord down from his position is not a small job. Although it was not a Rivera subsidiary, they still had deep connections with our kingdom."

"Ye I heard about him too. In the one known as a legendary monk. Some people even call him second Severus".

"Second Severus? Severus is his name" One of them asked confusedly.

"NAH…. the ex-general of Rivera, shadow knight of crown prince who was assassinated not long ago, his face is exact replica of him. Some says he is back from dead, but we all know how bullshit it is".

"Really? Interesting?"

"I wonder what we are going to witness."

"Just enjoy the alcohol, my friend."

As everyone was whispering, Severus took the chance and sneaked back into the hall.

"Soldiers imprison them."

"Huh?'

What?

Desella was shocked.

Melanie felt like the world was spinning. A huge gameplay was again happening in front of her. Everyone gasped but there were only two people who did not lose their calm, it was Severus and Marquis. Severus gracefully stood up from his seat as he questioned back. "What is the meaning of all this your majesty?"

"Asking me? Why don't you admit to your crimes yourself" Marquis ordered in an imposing manner?

"Pardon me your majesty but I don't quite get what are you asking me to do?"
