Chapter 308 - 308 Great Bosses Vow...Phantoms' New Family

"My family's gift to the two of you the Castle at the Lovers Island. You will spend your honeymoon there and we have made the arrangements After New Years' Feast you will be going there with Eros, Soteira and the Phantom twins. A week's stay will suffice for all of you to spend quality time with each other. And maybe when you came back here Amber and Harry will have some good news for all of us." Luna announces. 

Luna knows that one of Isabele's greatest dreams was to spend her honeymoon at Lovers Island, Lovers Island was Duke Lawrence's gift to Luna when she gave birth to the twins' and she registered their names with the surname Vallini. The name Lovers Island was given by Luna because of its own beauty, serenity, and breathtaking nature. In Amber's case, Luna just wants to give her a vacation for she always had the most hectic schedule among the Ladies of the Court, and between her and Alexei...she was the most work alcoholic doctor and researcher. ​​

Yuan and Harry accept the key from Francois and gave it to their wives. "Now, since everyone had said their vow...it is our time to inform everyone about our own piece of a vow" Prince Stephen's voice was heard at the dining hall. 

Duke Rainer and Countess Grace were the first ones to stand up as they want to give Amber their vow as her parent and Harry's in-laws and as they went to the very center all men and women of HADES stand up and bow to the couple. Duke Rainer and Countess Grace answered them with a bow also for them to take a seat, everyone went into complete silence as the couple faces the newlyweds. 

Duke Rainer stared at Harry as if he wants to kill him while Countess Grace stares at Amber as her eyes became watery. "Today is a monumental day in the life of our two families, HADES and Phantom. I know it's not always easy to blend families like ours especially for we have different principles, but I trust that together, our new family can be stronger than either was individual. I welcome you as my partner, and I welcome your children with the same unconditional love I have for my own. I promise to grow with you two and with all of our future grandchildren to create a beautiful, loving blended family. Harry Si of Phantoms, we are handing you the heart, body, and soul of our daughter Amber. Please do promise that you must treat each other honorably and to remain faithful to each other only. I welcome you Harry Si into our family... the HADES and to my family as the Manzini's son - in - law. I know that my daughter is now your loving spouse, but still, she is my daughter and even she is at fault she is always right in my eyes and I know that you already have a hunch of what will happen to you once you hurt her. I welcome your family warmly and with open arms." Duke Rainer gave his vow to the newlywed. 

"You are scaring our son-in-law Rainer, don't do that okay," says Countess Grace as she controls herself from crying, but both Marco and Amber could feel the trembling voice of their mother. Countess Grace inhaled a lot of air to get the courage to speak what's on her mind, she didn't want her daughter to notice that she was crying deep inside. Countess Grace looks at their daughter, "Harry Si, the Phantoms' big boss. As the two of you are joined together as one on this day, you become a part of each other's family, the HADES and Phantom. The feelings of Amber become Harry's feelings; the same goes with the sorrows, joys, cares, and most of all the people of each organization where you two belong. With our help and guidance, we will and you two also must promise to be true and faithful as husband and wife. Always there to comfort each other, rejoice and endure all the complexities of and in life that you two will face together as a family. My love for Amber will also become the same love for you Harry Si, the love and respect must be pure and unshakable, and we Duke Rainer and Countess Grace hereby commit ourselves as your parents to be always here if you need our guidance from this day forward." Countess Grace informs the two newlyweds. 

Isabele and Luna who are pregnant became emotional as they both sobs upon hearing the vow of Countess Grace. Yuan and Francois just intertwined their hands with their wives and coax them. Amber has tears in her eyes, "Your father and I prepared a song, our song for you two. Because you two are doctors and will be going to have a hectic schedule these songs are our unspoken words for both of you" Countess Grace told them. Then suddenly Ares played the guitar from the left side and Duke Rainers' voice was heard, as the song Grow Old With You by Adam Sandler (youtube.com/watch?v=mKs3bybeTO8) was played. This was a total surprise to the men and women of HADES for Duke Rainer never sings in front of them or even in some family occasion that the HADES are attending. 

Then after that, the second song was played, the song Let the love Begin by Gino Padilla (youtube.com/watch?v=sBpoaqklA9M) was heard as the Duke and Countess sings it with all of their hearts. 

"Look at us

Ain't it funny

Is it just beginner's luck

Maybe

With just one touch

Two different people from such different worlds apart

Have touched each other's heart

Like candles in the dark"

The two stanzas of the song were the appropriate beginning of Amber and Harry's love story. It is really a beginner's luck and they are two different people from such different worlds apart...the HADES and Phantoms. 

As the song ended, everyone was astounded, the Manzini couple sang, and even MArco and Amber were dumbfounded by what just happened, what they know was that the great bosses already vowed that they will never sing after Princess Jeuel' demise. They vowed at her funeral that the Great Bosses will never touch a musical instrument and will never sing again. They did not forbid Luna to teach HADES staff how to sing and play musical instruments. Even their children they didn't even forbid and they have the freedom to do what they want about music. But those Great Bosses swore that they would never do that again, but why now do they seem to have forgotten that.

Luna also knows about the vow of their Great Bosses to Princess Jeuel, she also knew that it's taboo for the Great Bosses to talk about singing and dancing especially if they are the ones' who will participate. That's why they didn't forbid their own children to do such things as singing and dancing for they are the ones who will be assigned to do it if they are on a mission. But Luna and Francois were happy to see that the Great Bosses gradually leaving the shell which they themselves made just to mask their grieving hearts. 

Then suddenly a clap was heard, the twins' breaks off the silence as their little hands clap upon seeing and hearing their grandparents, Duke Rainer and Countess Grace sing. The twins knew the history of the said vow and they respect it. They never requested the Elders to sing for them nor ask them to teach them how to dance, besides their mom, uncles, and aunts, the men, and women of HADES are enough to do that with them. 

It seems that everyone have awakened from a trance as they heard the clapping of hands, they followed it and some even whistle as they are very surprised to hear the baritone and angelic voice of the two ruthless Great Bosses of HADES. Duke Rainer and Countess Grace walk towards Harry and Amber as they hug them tightly. But still, the shock was evident to the faces of their sons and daughters, Duke Rainer chuckled, and Countess Grace giggled. 

Duke Lawrence smiled to see that shock on the faces of the Knights, his sons, ladies of the Court, and even his people. "I think it's about time for us to show our talents to our new members of HADES. It's been a long time that we the Great Bosses forbade us to do such things as singing and dancing. We are now a growing family, as we can see that the HADES and Phantoms will become one, and some rules might change because of that, so we better try while things last" Duke Lawrence informs everyone.
