Chapter 248 248:- Wedding [II]
[Now, without wasting any more time, let’s welcome Crown Prince Noah and Princess Lily.]
Everyone focused their attention on Noah and princess Lily whose face was covered under a veil. It seems every woman from the Osburn family must hide their face and not show it in front of others. It is some sort of tradition that every member of the Osburn family member has to follow. Since princess Lily is now a part of the Osburn family, she too has to follow this tradition.
But even with her face covered, Aditya can tell that she was a very beautiful woman. Lily was around 5 feet 4 inches tall. Recently she managed to break through and now her cultivation has reached beginner 3rd-order. Princess Lily has long Crimson red hair. Bangs covered her forehead. She was wearing a pair of blood-drop earrings and a golden heart-shaped pendant with diamonds around her neck.
Lily had a slim curvaceous body. She was fair-skinned and she had light red pupils. She had a small nose and big eyes. Just like every member of the Osburn family, princess Lily was wearing a beautiful lavender Kimono.
Today Noah is also looking very handsome. He also wore a Lavender color Kimono and pair of wooden sandals.
Alicia who was standing near Aditya leaned forward and whispered into his right ear. “Noah is looking very handsome tonight.”
“Yeah. I can understand why uncle…I mean father likes to wear Kimono every single day.”
“Aditya?” Turning his head, he found the other two goddesses walking in his direction. Both of them were wearing kimonos. Julia wore a purple color Kimono that matched her hair color. Riya wore a silver-white Kimono. Both girls were hiding their faces under a veil. Julia and Riya could have shown their faces but both girls decided to respect the traditions of Alicia’s family and decided to cover their faces.
“You all are looking very beautiful tonight.”
“Hehe! Thank you for the compliment darling.” Riya slightly giggled before she held Aditya’s right hand. Riya didn’t shy away from publicly displaying her emotions for Aditya. Julia restrained herself and just stood next to Aditya and watched Noah and princess Lily.
“Congratulations! Aditya, to think you would even conquer my best friend this quickly. I am very impressed.”
“Sylvie! It’s nice to meet you again. How are you doing these days?” Aditya ignored what Sylvie said.
“Don’t try to change the subject.” Sylvie wasn’t going to let go of such a golden opportunity of teasing her.
“Aditya, who is she?” Neither Julia nor Riya knew who this woman was. Both girls understood that this dark elf was Alicia’s friend.
“She is the guild leader of the White Lotus guild. Her name is Sylvie. Sylvie is Alicia’s best friend.”
“Sylvie…..they are…”
“Julia Onard and Riya Tombrook. I know both of your identities. Alicia has told me about the two of you.”
Meanwhile, some nobles whose attention was on Aditya and Alicia were dumbfounded seeing Aditya surrounded by 4 beautiful girls. All of the girls were very beautiful even though three of them were hiding their faces, they can tell that all three of them is beautiful as Sylvie if not more beautiful than her.
“This mf is so lucky.”
“Only if I had even a small percentage of his luck.”
“Not only they are beautiful, but all of them are also very powerful cultivators.” Some nobles even began to suspect the relationship that Aditya had with purple hair girl and the white silver hair. They wouldn’t be surprised if the other girls turn out to be Aditya’s wives or concubines. As for the white Lotus guild leader, it seems she too has something going on for Aditya. Especially the smile that she had while talking to Aditya made them think this.
The main party finally began. Every guest who attended the party, one by one had to walk up to Noah and Princess Lily and congratulate them with a gift. At the corner, Aditya and the girls talked with each other and enjoyed their time. Aditya can tell that many nobles and guests were looking at them. Aditya simply pretended to not notice their stares.
Aditya noticed Spencer walking with his father. With a single glance, he can tell that Spencer was somehow holding himself back. Spencer looked very uncomfortable and there was a deep frown on his face.
“Spencer!!!!” The girls stopped talking and looked at the person whom Aditya just called. Spencer and his father Newman also turned their attention to Aditya.
Holding a glass of wine, Aditya walked forward to Spencer and his father Newman. Newman was delighted to see the future husband of the princess himself walking in his direction. Newman felt that this would be a perfect opportunity to form close connections with Aditya who is the Istarin Emperor.
“Good evening, Sir Aditya. My name is Newman. This is my son Spencer Newman.” Aditya just simply nodded his head and then turned his attention to Spencer.
“Spencer, within tomorrow, I want to see you at the Istarin empire’s capital. Don’t be too late. I won’t wait for you.” Spencer quickly understood why Aditya approached him. Realizing this a small smile formed on his face.
“Sir Aditya, I am confused about this whole thing.” Newman felt a little awkward right now.
“Sir Newman, I have hired your son. From now on, the Istarin Empire will train him to become its future Prime Minister. Now if you would excuse me.” Meanwhile, Newman felt like a bomb has exploded in his mind. He simply couldn’t process what he heard. It was only after 10 seconds of silence that he realized how big these words were. To think this worthless son of his was hired to work as the Prime Minister of the Istarin Empire. πͺπ³πΆ.π€ππ
Although Aditya said these words not too loudly, everyone was able to hear them and was shocked. Even Ronny who was talking with the Edrinia Dynasty’s King was also shocked.
“Your majesty, I must admit that your son-in-law is full of surprises.” Said the King of the Edrinia dynasty while looking at Aditya.
“I can’t deny that. Aditya is a box that is full of surprises.” Aditya, under everyone’s gaze, walked up to Noah and Lily who was sitting on a couch. Behind them, there is a huge table that is full of various gift boxes.
“Princess Lily, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aditya.” Princess noticed that Aditya is not introducing himself as the Emperor of the Istarin Empire.
“It’s nice to meet you, Aditya.” Princess Lily has heard of Aditya from Noah in these past few weeks. She has developed a huge respect and admiration for Aditya. In fact, if she had time, she would likely visit the Istarin Empire in the future with Noah.
“Sister Lily, I have got you a present. I hope you will like it.” Aditya took out a pure jade bangle bracelet. Upon a closer look, Lily discovered that the pure jade bangle Bracelet has been engraved with runes. Last night Aditya personally has drawn runes on his bracelet. While making this Peak 3-star artifact, Aditya focused on adding defensive functions to it.
“What is this?”
“It’s a defensive Peak 3-star artifact. It can protect you from a single attack of a Mid-4th-order cultivator. Wearing this artifact will also increase your cultivation speed by 20%. As long as you’re wearing this artifact, it will give you complete defense against 1st-order and 2nd-order cultivators’ attacks.”
Lily was a little hesitant if she should take something this precious from Aditya. Even in her Edrinia Dynasty, her family had only five 3-star artifacts. She knew the value of 3-star artifacts. She hesitantly looked at Noah. Noah just nodded his head. “Thank you.”
Aditya then turned to Noah. “I don’t think you would need any gifts from me.”
“Now don’t be so stingy.”
Sigh! πππππ.ππ€π’
“Here, take this.” Aditya took out a low-grade spirit stone from his storage ring and handed it to Noah. Seeing this Noah, Ronny, Alicia, Julia, Riya, Sylvie, Olivia, and many others widened their eyes in shock.
“Aditya, this is a spirit stone right?” Noah knew the value of a Spirit stone. Before the Ethereal Empire didn’t have even a single Spirit stone. It was because of Aditya that the Ethereal empire now had a spirit stone.
“I can’t take this. This is too valuable.” Aditya shook his head and insisted Noah take it. Aditya currently has a few more spirit stones left with him. Most of the spirit stones that he had were used to build the Dragon Palace.
“Just take it. You can use this spirit stone to accelerate your cultivation speed when you reach 5th order in the future.” This time Noah was looking uncertain and unsure of what he should do in this situation.
Seeing this Aditya leaned forward and whispered into his left ear. “Just take it. It will help you a lot in the future. Besides, I have a few more left with me.” Noah took the spirit stone with his shaky hands. He then quickly put the spirit stone in his storage ring.
After that Aditya went to Ronny who introduced him to the Edrinia Dynasty. The Edrinia dynasty’s King was a bald muscular middle age man. In the day, both Aditya and the Edrinia dynasty’s king had a very long discussion. Both of them talked about various topics about trade, economy, and politics. In the end, Aditya promised to sell Mana stones to the Edrinia Dynasty at a slightly cheaper. In exchange, The Edrinia Dynasty would allow the Istarin goods to be sold in their dynasty with a certain percentage reduction in export and import taxes. Aditya did this to establish close ties with the Edrinia Dynasty and also to increase the Istarin Empire’s foreign influence.
