Chapter 981: Wedding
The Scarlet King would marry Shura of the Godslayer Humankind and Astrid of the Immortus Atrox Race!
That news spread across Aether like wildfire, making the eyes of all powerhouses in the light and dark camps immediately burst with excitement and thrill. Those who were wiser deployed an ingenious insight into the news. The relationship between the Scarlet King and the two young women was not a secret and the fact that he would take them as wives made sense.
However, the fact that the Scarlet King's wives were from the light and dark camps had significant connotations, sending seismic waves through the world's political landscape.
Those ripples were evident when, as soon as the news spread, the Collapsing Lightning Emperor canonized the Blood Sea as a Sacred Land in the Godslayer Humankind Empire.
As for Duke William, Astrid's father, he was ascended to Archduke of the Immortus Atrox Race. This was a command of the Atrox Emperor and a reward for the man's incredible feats during the war against Dark Sky. His descendants were bestowed the title of Holy Sons and Daughters.
Even a fool could see the causality behind these events. The ultimate goal behind the tactics of both camps was to enhance the connection between the Godslayer Humankind and the Blood Sea, as well as the relationship between the Atrox Immortus Empire and Astrid's family.
Cain could see all the plans that both sides were making, but he did not waste time with them. If it were up to him, he would have declared that he was married to Shura and Astrid, and that was it. However, he knew that would be unfair to his wives, so he made sure it was an event that echoed across the pages of Aether's history.
The grand wedding took place on the peak of the most majestic construct of Aether, the Babel Tower. It was a glorious event, and while there were few who attended, they were the most influential individuals in the world.
Such a majestic event would usually carry some sort of drama, but no one dared to disturb the Scarlet King, so it was uneventful, with everything going according to plan.
Under the cosmic energy's vortex surrounding the Babel Tower's peak and a sky full of majestic phenomena, the Scarlet King married the Sacred Daughter of the Blood Sea and the Holy Daughter of the Atrox Immortus Race.
