Chapter 1029

If I had to explain why I chose to take Alysia, those feelings were hard to articulate. She had asked me to give her more time, and I had realized that I needed more time too. I felt a bit foolish. I really should have shown up two weeks ago. Demon Lord Aberis had likely chosen his time to attack extremely carefully. While the Prince had his eyes on the peace summit built around this olive branch wedding ceremony, he’d be free to conquer Chalm and claim the west. By the time Prince Edward had time to worry about other things, the damage would have already been done, and he would have just had to accept it.

However, Demon Lord Aberis had never predicted that I had survived the Twilight Dungeon and that I had also ended up with two souls, who managed to set up a trap for him by seemingly working against each other. Thus, there was nothing I could have done to arrive here earlier. It just felt like there wasn’t enough time.

Harem seemed to have known something that the pair of us hadn’t realized ourselves. It was too late for the pair of us to just part ways and pretend we never met. There was a bond between us, and before she could walk off with her groom, we had to rectify these feelings between us.

Deep down, we both realized that this moment would be fleeting. Although her smile was genuine, every once in a while, there would be a bittersweet tinge to the expression as if she knew that this date would be the last. She was married now, and it’d be her husband that she would be returning to. If I pushed things farther than I already had, then we might genuinely start a war after all. However, we both needed this moment. My girls understood it, and that’s why they kept a look out for me while they allowed us this night.

The pair of us walked through the festival. We bought various foods, and I was excited to find that food in the Ost Republic was tastier than the typical flavorless stews of Aberis. It turned out that it was just Aberis as a nation that didn’t have a lot of good choices. That made sense since Aberis was isolated on three sides. Trade could only come through the Imperial Cloud Meadow, which was a turbulent relationship, to say the least.n0vELuSb.C0m

Time passed, and we played games and even went on a few rides. As one hour turned into three hours, I started to feel a bit worried. At the very least, I had expected to see some sign of the panic over the bride disappearing. However, I hadn’t seen a single guard or searching soldier. It was extremely quiet and peaceful. I had even gotten a look directly at the castle and they weren’t reacting at all.

“Anything?” I asked Faeyna worriedly.

“The Tibults arrived home without incident. They weren’t even aware you had taken off with the bride until we told them.”

Was it really how Alysia had said? Since no one at the party wanted to acknowledge that they were together, then it effectively didn’t happen? Something about it all felt off.

“Alysia, perhaps it’s best if we get you back.” I explained.”

Her smile finally dropped, and she nodded her head resolutely. However, then her expression turned serious and she reached and grabbed my hands.

“Deek, can we do one last thing before we go our separate ways? I just want one more thing.”

“What is it?”

“I... I want to have sex with you.”
