Chapter 321: My Soulmate!
As night fell, the atmosphere in the Amareses’ residence grew livelier with the commencement of the banquet. The esteemed guests began to arrive, including Baron Navin, Eric’s father, a distinguished noble figure of Rivendelle, who had also been invited.
The attendees assembled in the main hall and took their seats. Rafe and Callis, the celebrated couple, were the centre of attention at the main table.
Elis, who had been convinced by her ’sister-in-law’ to partake in the banquet, was accompanying them on their right, sitting alongside Kiev. Baron Navin, on the other hand, found his place next to the Mederian Prince.
The healer’s parents, followed by Jason and Nick, were seated on the couple’s left side. Among the other guests were the mayor, clergy, town council members, merchants, and townsfolks, all of whom either had blood ties or friendships with the Amares family.
The ceremony began with a speech delivered by Louis, the event host. He expressed sincere gratitude to all the attendees for joining the celebration on such short notice. Louis then proceeded to introduce Callis, Kiev, and Elis to the crowd.
Continuing his address, he expressed deep appreciation to His Majesty the King for the royal decree blessing Rafe with a gracious wife. This proclamation added significance to the couple’s union, emphasising the honour bestowed upon them.
As the speech concluded, the eagerly anticipated moment arrived—the exchange of rings between the bride and groom. It was a memorable highlight of the ceremony, and everyone applauded.
Louis then raised his glass for a toast, and the rest of the attendees followed suit, celebrating the couple’s joyous occasion. Callis also lifted her glass, but Rafe quickly intervened, "Don’t drink. It’s not good for you."
The Mederian Princess looked surprised at her husband’s response.
"But this is a celebration for us. Shouldn’t we have a toast with them?" she questioned.
"Alcoholic beverages can have significant effects on women’s fertility. It’s best if you refrain from drinking," Rafe explained.
