Chapter 694: The Wedding II
Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As the sun completely dipped below the horizon, Kyle finally returned to the place where the wedding was set to happen.
Annoyance flickered in his green eyes, softly gleaming in the dim light. He had thought selecting an outfit would be an easy task, but little did he realize it would end up taking so much time! He glanced at Alec, Nine, and the others, all of them had satisfied expressions on their faces.
'It's all their fault, but why are they all so darn happy? Ugh.'
However, he had to admit, the outfit they settled on in the end was pretty good. Kyle adjusted his cuffs and checked himself. He was dressed in a black suit, complete with a crisp white dress shirt paired with black shoes. The suit jacket hugged his frame elegantly, displaying a subtle sheen under the soft surroundings lights. The trousers were perfectly tailored, draping just right over his shoes. To complete the look, a simple green flower decoration was gleaming on the lapel of his suit.
"The best thing is, this is comfortable."
As he and the others strolled toward the only elevated area before the Tree of Fate's trunk, everyone around them was stunned. Kyle looked stunning, but to add even more flair, every single person walking alongside him had also opted for elegant suits.
They all looked incredibly handsome, so all the elven ladies in the area were captivated when this group of handsome young men walked before them together.
But, the elven men were a bit irked because they were hosting just one single wedding! Why did this group have to dress like they were all ready to walk down the aisle!?
Kyle ascended the elevated platform decorated with flowers and crystals, now finally starting to feel a bit nervous.
He scanned the surroundings; the flowers crafted from spiritual energy continued to cascade from the tree of fate, but Yue and the others with her hadn't arrived yet.
Nine, Alec, and the rest of the group stood below the platform on either side, chatting and laughing. Now, all they needed to do was wait for the bride to arrive.
Suddenly, Wesley started to float. The elderly elf coughed to redirect everyone's attention from Kyle and the group gathered around the platform before declaring the arrival of the elven Queen.
"Everyone, please welcome Her Majesty, Queen Ariana Silverleaf, to the gathering."
The elves in the area were shocked, but they all respectfully bowed at the sight of a flying elderly woman dressed in a regal and elegant attire in gold and silver tones. She donned a silver crown and exquisite gold jewelry as she descended in the vicinity accompanied by two guards.
Ariana's eyes reflected the lights around her. She gestured for the elves around her to rise and carry on with their activities. Her gaze turned to Kyle, and she was surprised when he bowed slightly in her direction. A chuckle slipped from her lips.
"Is this even the same individual who had conversed with me earlier this morning as though I were just an ordinary person?"
She shook her head and headed towards Wesley, who stood in the distance.
Ronan also showed up in the area, but he was kinda taken aback that, unlike him who had been just lounging around, Wesley still had the strength to organize such a grand wedding for Kyle, not knowing that the old man was on the verge of collapsing.
He slapped Wesley's back with a sigh.
"You may be older than me, but you have got more energy than I do."
Wesley nearby stumbled. A vein bulged on his forehead, but he couldn't react to Ronan in the presence of the Queen.
In the midst of the whispers filling the air, Kyle turned around upon feeling a familiar presence behind him. He acknowledged the old elf standing there. It was the supreme rank who had previously alerted him when the Queen wished to speak with him. The old elf arched his brow at him.
"Pleasure to see you again, young man. I never thought I would meet you again so soon as the one who would guide you through your marriage vows."
He pointed ahead with a faint smile when Kyle wanted to speak with him.
"Look, your partner is here."
Kyle swiftly turned his head and he was dazed when he finally caught sight of the woman who would soon be his wife.
Yue entered the space with Elli and Mia by her side. Iva and Lara followed behind her, while Bia and Nox hovered above her.
The two beasts, especially the phoenix, appeared content after being fed by Iva.
The old elf near Kyle coughed softly, yet Kyle's gaze remained locked on the elven woman walking toward him.
Yue was dressed in a long white dress embellished with intricate lace and light blue embroidery. A delicate white fabric flowed down her back, accompanying her cascading honey-colored hair.
The silver hairpins and jewelry she wore glistened under the softly lit surroundings with each step she took.
"Beautiful..."
Kyle murmured. However, his voice was heard by the old elf and everyone standing below the platform because the area had fallen silent when the bride arrived.
Sinon, Regius, Jian, and Asher laughed quietly at him, but they were left speechless when they witnessed Nine, Carcel, and Alec in a similar state as Kyle, all gazing at the women
surrounding Yue.
Unperturbed, Kyle stepped down from the platform and made his way towards Yue.
He extended his hand towards her with a warm smile, and after she clasped his hand, they both ascended the platform where the old supreme rank was standing.
Under the glowing flowers gently falling from the branches of the Tree of Fate, the couple stood, gazing into each other's eyes. All attention was on them as the supreme rank old elf behind them began the wedding ceremony by reciting the vows. The old man first turned to
Kyle.
"Do you, Kyle, take Yue to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do
you part?"
Kyle grabbed both of Yue's hands, and with unwavering affection in his eyes, he replied.
"I sure do."
The old elf then turned to Yue.
She tightly clasped Kyle's hands as the old elf began to speak, and her eyes welled up slightly with overwhelming emotions.
"Do you, Yue, take Kyle to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this
day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death
do you part?"
Yue nodded her head, her voice softer than usual but it was heard by everyone.
"I do."
