339 Zamira's Wedding
After completing Zagrath's treatment, I receive word that Old Man Duke wishes to see me. Wiping my hands clean, I make my way swiftly towards his chamber.
Upon entering, I find Old Man Duke seated, his hands propping up his chin in contemplation. The room, in stark contrast to the rest of the castle, is a chaotic masterpiece. Roughly painted artworks adorn the walls, and scattered clothes create an unconventional carpet. A peculiar cat, its fur bristled, snarls at me from a corner, adding an extra layer of eccentricity to the scene.
"Old Man Duke, why is your room in such disarray?" I ask, eyeing the unconventional decor.
Old mam Duke looks at me, a wry smile on his face. "I figured I'd let loose and drown myself in drink for a while. The recent events have taken a toll on my sanity."
I can't help but burst into laughter at the unexpected explanation. Old man Duke catches onto the humor, and joins in the laughter. It's a brief but refreshing moment of shared mirth amidst the chaos.
Once the laughter subsides, I turn to old man Duke, curiosity etched on my face. "So, what prompted you to summon me?"
Old man Duke leans back, a glint of seriousness in his eyes. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
"I don't know if I told you before, but I am going to take you to see the matriarch of the witch clan so that you can see Zella," Old Man Duke says, his words slightly slurred. I raise an eyebrow, suspecting the wine might have played a role in his déjà vu moment; after all, he already told me this yesterday.
"Besides, your grandma is coming for Zamira's wedding tomorrow. I sent words to her about her daughter's wedding, so she sent a message back that she was going to come. Make sure you don't do anything super weird," Old Man Duke tells me, absentmindedly scratching the back of his head.
"Haa... Why don't you trust me to some extent? Besides, it's not like you're still married to Grandma. You used your own two hands to ruin your relationship with her. Well, don't worry, I won't do anything to Grandma as long as you're still alive," I assure Old Man Duke with a smile, making my way towards the door.
The room's ambiance is filled with the lingering scent of aged wine, and the paintings on the walls seem to sway slightly as I walk.
"You got bigger huh... Someone's been eating a lot," I tease.
"Fufu, the baby needs to eat too, honey..." Misty replies with a giggle.
"Waaah~ now that we can't come over there, when are you returning to Earth?" Blair suddenly asks, her face filled with sadness.
"Probably, I will be back in three days because after the wedding, I have a few things to do," I explain to my women.
After the heartfelt exchange, a heavy knock on the door disrupts the moment. I approach it, wondering who could be on the other side, and as I open it, I see a messenger at the doorstep.
"The wedding preparation has begun. You need to dress up your highness because the witch that'll host the ritual is already here. And according to her, she doesn't have much time to spare," The messenger delivers the message to me.
