373 Wedding Part Three

"Oh, so you still know who your original parents are… Though this is our first time showing ourselves with our original looks. But I must say. Akari you look very good in that wedding dress. My baby girl has truly grown up." Tang Ming said with a smile. He pulled Tang An along with him as he walked right up to the altar. He did not stop at Alicia but stood in front of King Augustus and gave a deep, deep bow. "You are Akari's no, Alicia's father on this world. You have my deepest respect and gratitude for raising my daughter to be such a fine young lady and allowing her to follow her dreams."

"It is the first time I have met you with my real body, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of Akari as if she was your own flesh and blood." Tang An also bowed deeply towards King Augustus.

"No no! It has been my pleasure to have had such a daughter as her. She is no different to me than my children who have my blood flowing through them." King Augustus said in a flustered tone. He was a little shocked at this sudden arrival and also a little regretful that he was going to lose his beloved daughter.

"Not had, have. You are her father on this world and nothing will change that. This is her world now. Although we gave birth to her and can still be considered her parents, we will never take the fact that you have raised her since young away. She will always be your daughter and will reside with you." Tang Ming was not one to take away a parent's love. He could tell King Augustus cared for Alicia deeply from all the reports he received. They were no different than biological father and daughter no matter how you look at it.

"Umm… Dad, Mom, and umm dad… I want you to know that I love you three all equally and I do not plan to disappear from either of your lives." Alicia said to the three most important people in her life other than Blake, and her foster kids. She looked up and King Augustus and smiled as she hugged King Augustus: "Dad, I am not going anywhere. I will still be here for hundreds of years. This is my home now. This kingdom is my home. My responsibility to this kingdom is also something I will never neglect. Even if I were to travel to a distant planet one day I will return to take over your role. I plan to settle down someday and have a big family with many children for you to dote on."

Alicia then turned to Tang An and Tang Ming and stretched out her arms to hug the two of them. "Dad, Mom… I have missed you all these years. I am so happy you two are able to come to my wedding, but how? How were you able to make it here so fast?" 

"Like your mother said we will talk later." Tang Ming said patting Alicia on the head before pulling Tang An and standing in front of everyone. "Sorry for the interruption. Let the wedding continue!" 

Alicia felt her wedding day had just become that much better with her parents now being here. She smiled brightly as she looked up at Blake. "I had so much I wanted to say but I completely forgot it all now. But I will say this. Blake, I love you from the bottom of my heart. Nothing will ever change that. You have always been there for me and my love for you blooms more and more every day. For you to be my husband, I couldn't wish for more in this lifetime. Thank you for loving me." 

Alicia cared not for formalities anymore and mustered up all her courage as she lifted her veil, tossed her arms around Blake's neck, stood on her tiptoes, and pressed her lips against his, causing a loud round of cheers from the crowd! 

King Augustus facepalmed seeing this before smiling and letting out a laugh. "Ahem… Now that the vows have been spoken it is now time for the ceremony. Please for the wedding contract!" 

In the world of Phantasia when two people are to be married there is a contract formed between the two. It binds the two lovers for life and is unable to be broken unless it is justified by the courts. The contract formed two rings for the groom and bride that could not be taken off. Each set of contractual rings were different in style and unique to the relationship between the two.

A bright white magical circle formed under Alicia and Blake engulfing the two in its magic. Strands of magicules began to visibly form in the air. These strands were golden in color and slowly floated over to both Blake and Alicia. They gathered and wrapped around both Blake's and Alicia's ring fingers before turning bright red in color and shooting out a thread towards each other connecting the two strands of magicules together. Alicia's first thought was the red string of fate when she saw this. She watched in amazement as the ring on her finger solidified and formed. What appeared was a golden red ring, shaped in the form of a fiery red phoenix while Blake's ring formed into a golden red dragon. It was at that time that a pillar of light shot up into the sky. It exploded and formed into a dragon and phoenix that flew around in the skies above. 

"The sign of the Ruler!"
