Chapter 394: Final Ceremony
The Autumn Palace was decorated beautifully as it prepared for the soulmate bond completion ceremony between Autumn Prince Kenric and Seelie Queen Annalise.
The High Priestess of the Midnight Realm was once again present there along with the Midnight Queen, all three Princes, and the noble guests who were finally witnessing the sacred competition ceremony of one of their Princes.
The setup of the ceremony hall was similar to the ones before. The High Priestess took her place in front of the altar. This time there was a ring of all seven elements instead of just five - air, water, fire, earth, shadow, light, and darkness. It surrounded the altar and the combined powers of the elements fueled the energy that resided in the hall.
Kenric stood next to Annalise, facing the High Priestess. Valerius and Damien were also standing not too far away, their presence filled Annalise with warmth and love.
Kenric was wearing red and golden robes. The colors brought the best out of his features. Annalise was also adorned in a beautiful red and golden gown, paired with golden jewelry. The two of them looked perfect together.
The High Priestess took out the fire crystal and sent it into the air where it hovered over their heads, Kenric and Annalise’s. She closed her eyes and spread her arms, her lips moving as she started chanting the ancient spell.
Kenric took hold of Annalise’s hand, his fingers squeezing hers as he felt his soul reaching out to her, feeling her excitement as she finally got to experience the ceremony. Their powers linked together and their souls met in the sacred chamber of Fire element.
The beautiful colors of season of fall were seen all around. Annalise and Kenric stood under an ancient maple tree, facing each other with their eyes brimming with joy.
"Little Bird..." Kenric took hold of her hands in his, feeling emotional as he finally made it to the day when he was going to complete his bond with his lovely mate. He pulled her closer and stared right into her eyes, trying his best to hold himself back from kissing her already.
"Why are you so nervous?" Annalise asked while smiling at how cute the Autumn Prince looked at that moment.
Kenric was about to respond when they heard the High Priestess announcement.
The very next moment, two red threads appeared on their palms while the High Priestess started chanting a new spell. He took hold of the thread in his palm and merged it with Annalise’s moon thread before helping her to do the same with the one in her hand which she merged with his moon thread.
