Chapter 237: Nessa’s Pain
The day after Melina’s debutante ball, the news about our engagement spread like wildfire all over the world.
Of course, having representatives from almost every nation present there made it easy for the news to go around quickly, though I didn’t expect it to be that fast.
In a world that didn’t have social media or quick ways of communicating, they certainly spread information quickly when it interested them.
Nonetheless, I wasn’t opposed to the idea of people knowing about our engagement since it would deter other nobles from proposing themselves.
We decided that the wedding would take place a year and a half from that moment, mainly because we were tired of attending ceremonies.
A few days later, all of the invitees and graduate students returned to their countries, except for Yuki and her family, whom we offered to bring back with the magic quartz we left at Kyotora.
The Sage’s Assembly was starting in a few months, so we needed to make our way to the eastern continent soon.
We could have traveled with Sage Devon by boat, but we were planning on taking more magic quartz from Kyotora so that we could have more transportation methods between nations.
I left all my anti-illusion totems with the knights of the 7th so that they could place them along the road on the Illusive Forest and finish it.
Holding the totems would have the same protection effect on them as if it was placed on the ground, so it was a job that anyone could do as long as they didn’t stray too far from them.
When we visited End Forest to tell the alchemists of our plans, Nessa asked to join us.
