Chapter 997:

A black tower had soared into the clouds.

This was the new capital of the Kingdom of Gran, the Black Earth Tower.

Decades earlier, this magnificent magical tower had been toppled by a black dragon, but now, the Black Earth Tower had been fully reconstructed.

Constructed with the latest reinforced concrete technology, it was far more robust and grandiose compared to Ardent Flame Tower, Trembling Ice, Thunder Tower, and Wind Tower. Surrounding this towering structure, a vast emerging city had been taking shape.

The city, too, had employed the latest urban planning technology. From the onset of construction, sewage systems had been planned, followed by the construction of an extensive underground world, atop which the city was built. The houses within the city were uniform and aesthetically pleasing; not a trace of dirty or polluted water was to be seen. All the municipal facilities were designed to be comfortable.

In the current world, aside from Shuangqing City in the New Continent and Westwind City in the western part of the Kingdom of Gran, no other city could rival the Black Earth Tower.

The young queen had been getting her makeup done in her bedroom at the top of the tower. Of course, she was not doing it herself; countless maids, servants, and officials were collectively contributing to her makeover. Tailors and makeup artists had been bustling around her, moving various accessories and daily necessities to and fro.

The queen merely had to sit in front of the mirror, watching herself become increasingly beautiful.

A gem-encrusted white wedding dress had already been put on her; its long train trailing several yards behind her. Makeup artists had been applying an array of substances to her face, while another stylist had been arranging her beautiful golden hair into various shapes.

Outside the door, the head court makeup artist had urgently responded, Were almost there!

As quickly as possible! The head court magician had run to the balcony, took out a magical tool for long-distance viewing, and had been gazing at the city below the tower. He quickly located the church and also saw the guests who were waiting in the churchyard.

These guests had come to attend the wedding ceremony between Godfather and the Queen.

This was the most important ceremony on the Fengmo Continent; all the kings of the western countries had assembled. Even the Hero King, who lived far in the northwest corner of the continent, had specifically flown in to attend the wedding, demonstrating full sincerity.

The most outrageous was the Sphinx. This creature had wanted to attend the ceremony, but given its enormous size, it was inconvenient to enter the church. It had had to squat at the church entrance, impersonating a decorative stone lion. Did it have no sense of its own size? Having such a large sphinx squatting at the entrance of the church was downright bizarre.

Godfather had already arrived at the entrance of the Black Earth Tower, ready to greet his bride.

Dressed sharply for the day, Godfather wore a crisp white shirt complemented by a black suit, looking utterly dashing.

He had originally been quite handsome, but dressed like this, he exuded an irresistible charm. Many young women on the streets had been screaming at the sight of him. Fortunately, these women were sober enough to know that they could never replace the Queen in Godfathers heart, so they didnt indulge in fangirl behavior.

Turning his head, Number 1 said to the Queen, Your Majesty, Godfather is waiting downstairs.

A fleeting, happy smile crossed the Queens lips, but she quickly regained her regal demeanor. She stood up abruptly and said, Lets skip the rest of the makeup. Its been almost two hours, and its still not done. Im fed up; lets go like this.

Ah? Your Majesty! Your hairstyle isnt finished yet, the hairstylist hurriedly called out.

I wont bother with the hair. The Queen reached up and pulled off all the hairpins and clips that had been holding her hair, letting her waterfall-like golden locks spread out behind her. She picked up the crown from the table and set it on her forehead, then started walking toward the door.

The servants hurriedly followed her, picking up her long dress trail.

So there was the Queen, with a train several meters long trailing behind her, escorted by a group of servants to the doorway.

Robb had been waiting at the door for quite a while but hadnt grown impatient. When a man marries a woman, he always has to wait a bit. He had thought he would have to wait even longer, but he hadnt expected the Queen to come out without even doing her hair.

Robb smiled at her and said, Ive come to marry you.

The Queen smiled back and said, Youre getting quite a deal!

Robb laughed, Indeed, I am! But so are you. The worlds greatest He drew out the word, and the Queen thought he would say hero, but instead, Robb grinned mischievously and continued, The worlds greatest lazy person will be your husband. Youll have peace of mind knowing that if you ever become lazy, there will be someone even lazier than you to pick up the slack.

The ceremony had been completed!

Robb and the Queen had finally become a lawfully wedded couple.

The Queen had looked majestic as she wrapped her arm around Robbs neck and asked, So, whats next? Are you coming to my place, or am I going to yours?

Robb had chuckled and responded, What do you think?

The Queen had said, I have an entire kingdom to manage; I cant just gallivant around.

Robb had grinned, But the world is so big, and I want to see it.

The Queen had quirked an eyebrow, So what do we do?

Robb had leaned in close to her ear and whispered, How about we have a son to inherit this kingdom, and then you can travel the world with me?

The Queen had hummed in agreement, That sounds feasible. When do we start implementing this plan?

Right now, immediately! Robb had exclaimed, lifting the Queen in his arms and heading toward the bridal chamber.

The Queen had laughed and playfully kicked him, Whats the hurry? We havent settled everything yet.

Robb: Whats left to settle?

The Queen: Whos going to be on top?

Robb: Is that really important?

The Queen: Extremely important!

Robb: Bah! Thats only because you think its important! In reality, well be rolling around so much, itll be hard to tell whos on top or bottom.

The Queen: Oh, really? That sounds quite intriguing. Ive never tried that, so I wouldnt know.

Robb had let out a mischievous laugh, Well, youll get the hang of it after the first or second time. But, I have to say, I really like this innocent look you have right now. Should we skip the bridal chamber, and you just stay pure forever?

The Queen had also laughed mischievously, I wouldnt mind! But what about our son? Who will inherit the kingdom? How can I come with you if no ones there to inherit the throne?

Sigh, Robb had exclaimed, So, in the end, you just want to sleep with me.

The Queen had burst into hearty laughter, Bow down to your Queen!

And so, their laughter and joyful conversation had flown from the church, disappearing into the Black Earth Tower.
