Chapter 128 - Wedding (1)

Several Days Later

Right now, the entire Castle Fuerig was looking very different, from its average day. Now it was full of flowers, decorations, and colors as soon would be wedding held here between Lord Zeoticus Gremory von Lucifer, alas me and Venelana Bael and Grayfia Lucifuge.

In the end, fortunately, we have decided on a private wedding, where only a few selected are invited. Among them, the most notable personas were Original Lucifer, Lord Gerstahl Lucifuge, Great King Zekram Bael, or newly crowned Heavenly Dragon Crom Cruach.

The other three Satans and their clansmen weren't invited, and of course, they would take it as an insult. I just don't want to deal with them, and additionally, it wouldn't look to have wedding photos full of dead people.... there were mostly killed by me.

I just cannot wait when this entire ceremony would be over... Vena and Grayfia forced me to learn dance, and I was forced to sacrifice my studies of new mysticism grimoire I have bought from the Beelzebub Clan, so I can learn dance.

Of course, I didn't dare to raise my dissatisfaction. One or two angry glares from Venelana and Grayfia were enough to shut me down. I saw that how important it was for them, so I just went with the flow.

In truth, it was nice. Grayfia and Venelana were splendid women, and I swore to myself that I would forever protect their smiles. Both of them were not only powerful but also kind, warm, and loving.

They helped me to manage my territory and keep things in order. Often would Grayfia come to me, with meals when I am closed in my lab for a long time. And then Vena would drag me out, on the fresh air.

Also, this wasn't only a simple wedding, but also a show of power and gathering of the most influential people in the Underworld. Additionally, even envoys from other friendly factions would be participating.

Pale Blood, Werewolves Tribes, Crom Cruach, Dragon King Tiamat, and several others.

On the day of the Wedding, Castle Fuerig, Gremory Territory

Today was a special day.

Entire Castle Fuerig was full of important nobles across the Underworld that had at least some relationship with House Gremory. Everything was beautifully decorated and polished to look as best as it could be.

Tens of people were now waiting in my garden, which turned into the Wedding place.

Wedding Ritual for devils was pretty unique and often only rich or powerful or nobles had a formal wedding. Ordinary commoners didn't bother with this, as it was too of a hassle.

I was waiting there, and with me was Original Lucifer who acted as the Ritual Master. Wedding Ritual among the devil, not a marriage, but it was ritual, was like this.

Basically, the groom and bride, would draw a drop of a Heart Blood, and exchange them and drink them while they would swear a magical oath for eternity. This created a strong magical bond between the two parties.

For this ritual to be completed you need an Overseer to navigate it, and the person needs to be at least Satan-Class. That was the reason why only Nobility or powerful people used this way to get married. For nobility, it was an absolute requirement to undergo Wedding Devil Ritual.

Even some poorer Houses would have a problem inviting a Satan-Class devil to be a Ritual Master, while commoners have no chance at that. Also, in the Underworld, there weren't many Satan-Class devils.

I observed all guests that were attending.

All Heads of the Six Houses of Lucifer were here, under the leadership of their Leader Lord Gerstahl Lucifuge, who was not currently present as he would be bringing Fia to the Altar. I am meeting with them for the first time, and I needed to make the best impression I could, as the Six Houses of Lucifer were loyal to Lucifer only, and it was no secret that the relationship between them and Rizevim wasn't the best one, due to his views on the ruling.

After them, there were Heads of all 72 Pillars and Extra Devil Houses. Most notable was Mephisto Pheles with his extravagant looks, he was really unique in terms of appearance.

Crom Cruach was sitting in the first rows, close to me, as he came with his new mate Tiamat, who kept him asking if there are treasures in the huge castle and if she found them, then if it would be possible to keep them.

Crom Cruach had a bored and tired look, but on the contrary, Tiamat looked happy and energic as she looked over. Dragons didn't have anything similar to this, they just took their mates and that was all.

The only thing close to this was a duel, and the loser would become the mate of the winner, but that lacked romance in Tiamat's words. Women were similar no matter the species they were. Hela was sitting next to Tiamat, and they would often whisper to each other's ear and giggle ominously.

'Probably planning how to loot Asgard's Treasury.'

I thought in my head. Still... that could be a good idea, I will support them if they present this idea to me.

Great King Zekram Bael wasn't here as he was the same as the Lord Gerstahl Lucifuge, and would be escorting his grandaughter to the altar.

Then three Chiefs of the three biggest Werewolf Tribes were also present.

Suddenly music started playing and everyone stood up, as brides were going in, Fia being escorted by her father, Lord Gerstahl Lucifuge, and Vena being escorted by her grandfather, Great King Zekream Bael.

When I saw Vena and Fia I was charmed by their beauty in their wedding dresses.
