"Master, good luck. Make sure you bully Diablo a lot after you are married to him." Freidinia said teasingly.
"Don't worry. I will!" I let out a chuckle as I looked at Rachel, who was sniffing away.
"Good luck! If any of them bullies you, let me know! I will beat them up!" Rachel sucked in a deep breath and said. She was doing her best, from crying too hard. You would think, with how my mother and Rachel were crying, that I was actually about to die. I smiled and nodded at her as I turned and hooked my arm with my father and again and began walking down the aisle towards the stairs leading to the top of the small stage.

I smiled and hugged him back before watching him walk off. Only when he reached the bottom of the steps did I walk towards the king and smile at him. "Your majesty."
"Should you not start calling me royal father?" The king asked with a prideful smirk.
"Then Royal Father. I do hope you do not mind me wedding so many at once." I did feel kind of bad. After all, Adel was a princess, yet she was sharing her wedding day with three others.
"No. In fact, I think this is only fair. A wedding day, when everyone has the same status as you have given to your wives and your husband, it is only fair that they all have the same wedding. Adel also seemed to enjoy the fact she was sharing it with the other girls as well. But I do wonder, will your husband be okay? He will be basically at the bottom of the food chain in the house." The king asked. For the first time, he was actually acting seriously.
"He's fine. He is someone who is more loyal than you think. In fact, according to the demon realm's rules., we are already husband and wife. We are just making it official in this world." I replied with a smile.
"I see. I am glad to hear it. I do hope you can give a few heirs to the throne. And if one day we find a way for two females to have children together, I hope you will give me a few grandkids as well." The king replied with a smile.
"Don't worry. We are already looking into it. Freidinia has already made it a side project of her own after she heard of the idea." I explained.

I do hope you can give me a few months of peace before diving into a dungeon and pushing the role back onto me." The king seemed to be pleading with me when he said this, which made me chuckle.
"Do not worry. I will be implementing quite a few policies which will have to go through all those old foogies in the court." Now that I was thinking about it. I noticed the king, even though he was within ten feet of me, was not affected at all by my charm. I guess he already loved me like his own child a long time ago. When I walked down the aisle, I did notice the people who were closest to me staring at me strangely. I could only ignore them and hope they would not do anything out of line.
"I am sure they will go easy on you. I think most of them are afraid of you anyways. I did hear you plan to change the kingdom to an Empire. Since you plan to do that, you might as well change the entire name to your last name. It would make more sense." The king suddenly said, which made me look at him in surprise.
"I was going to talk to you about that at some point, but I never thought you would suggest it," I said honestly.
"You will be the ruler, it will be you who has the final say from the moment you are placed on the throne. I will follow what you say. You are, after all, the one who has given this kingdom more than I have in all my years of being a king." The king said as he patted my shoulder. "Enough of that. You look beautiful. I am sure your wives and husband will be amazed when they see you. They should be here soon, so prepare yourself. Once you all say your vows, you will no longer be able to escape them for the rest of your life."
"Haha! I know. And I wouldn't have it any other way. I once thought I would never get married. I pushed that thought for so long into my mind, but then when Adel finally confessed to me, I began to think otherwise. Then it was Sophie…. And the accidents with Iena and Diablo. But as the years went by. I came to love each of them dearly and did not wish to let them go. So I will never let them go, and for as long as I live, I will do my best to make their lives just as long. I will protect everything I cherish no matter what. Even the gods can not stop me." I was speaking from my heart. I truly meant every word I just said. I will protect the empire I plan to make and even expand it either by alliance or by force if need be. I will not allow anyone to harm the people I have decided to protect.
While I may seem like a warmonger, but one thing I have noticed while growing up is that not everything can be done easily. I will do what I can to avoid war and hope that whatever kings and queens I speak to later on will be willing to form an alliance that will strengthen this continent and unite it as one as we work towards a better future.
