The days passed by quickly, there were no threats to endanger the continent. The Kingdoms were rebuilding their own cities, the connection between the civilians and the nobles weren’t that good in most Kingdoms besides the Kingdom of Alizad and the Kingdom of Leran.

Tor and Susan arrived from the ancient cave with the rest of the civilians within a week, the rebuilding process took less because everyone was working happily together.

Another reason for them to be happy was that; the Crown Prince was getting married…!

There had been rumours that the angelic Prince of Alizad; Shin von Meria was about to marry eleven women.

When most people heard that, they could feel sweat running down their back.

In the meantime, Shin has been having fun. Playing tag with Ker’Vrak and the rest of his Guardians and eating delicious food every day. The only weird thing was that there were a lot of workers working in front of the castle. When Shin tried asking the workers what they were doing, they did only smirk as they raised their thumbs at him, telling him; ‘Good job!’.

Shin was confused, so he went to Eline and tried asking her, but she was stuttering while trying to answer him before running away. A bitter smile appeared on Shin’s face as he found a chair to sit on.

“Hey little one!”

Shin heard a voice filled with vigour, when he turned around, he saw Gin’Iro.

With a leap, Shin jumped into Gin’Iro’s arms.

“Hahaha, what are you thinking about, you seem to be depressed or something?”

Gin’Iro patted Shin’s head as he laughed.

Shin nodded weakly as he explained to Gin’Iro shortly.

“No one wants to tell me what they are working on outside…”

Gin’Iro’s expression froze for a moment before he smiled brightly.

“Shin.”

“They are working on making a wedding for you and your fiancées.”

Gin’Iro stayed quiet for a moment after saying this before continuing.

“It is also one of the reasons that I am back this early.”

After flicking his finger, a silver suit appeared in Gin’Iro’s hand. The suit was shining in the light and it had black threads to seem like stars.

“I have brought this for you, this will look great on you for your wedding.”

Gin’Iro smiled softly as he continued patting Shin’s head.

Shin took the suit with a bright smile before tilting his head, asking with a confused expression on his face.

“What day is the wedding?”

Gin’Iro faltered and the smile on his face vanished.

“No one told you about this?”

Before Shin could shake his head, a voice came from behind Gin’Iro.

“You do not have to worry about that, I was about to tell him right now.”

Aria came behind them without making a single sound.

Gin’Iro smiled and did let Shin off his embrace, but he did glance at Aria, wanting to know why she didn’t tell Shin about it until now.

Aria raised one eyebrow slightly, telling Gin’Iro not to talk about it any longer.

“Shin, your wedding with those girls, is set to be in two days.”

Shin lowered his head for a moment before asking.

“Is there anything I need to do?”

“None at all.”

Without thinking twice, Aria shook her head while speaking.

“You only need to stand there and tell them what you feel from your heart.”

“Oh, alright…!”

Shin nodded before smiling.

After saying this, Aria turned around and walked away.

Shin scratched his head, not knowing why Aria left. After glancing back, he saw that also Gin’Iro vanished.

Not even a moment later, footsteps could be heard.

“tap tap tap…”

Shin turned towards where the footsteps were coming from, only to see Kali walking towards him.

“Kali.”

Shin walked towards Kali and hugged her with a bright smile.

Kali had a smile on her face, but she could barely keep her eyes off Shin. Her eyes were slightly bloodshot, and her breath was rough. When Kali opened her mouth, a hoarse voice escaped her mouth.

“You know… I can’t wait any longer…”

Shin tilted his head slightly as he asked Kali.

“Wait for what? Is there anything I can do to help you?”

Kali held Shin tightly in her arms, not letting him escape her embrace. Kali softly kissed Shin’s lips.

Shin had no idea what was going on, but when he felt Kali’s tongue inside of his mouth, he couldn’t think straight and went limp in Kali’s arms.

After a whole minute, Shin felt that Kali took her tongue out. He could only stare at Kali in a daze with red cheeks.

“Shin… I am nervous.”

Kali said in a hoarse voice as she kissed Shin’s cheeks, forehead and his lips repeatedly.

“Only two days left… We will get married. Me and you, forever…”

Shin was already in a daze, not able to react, only feeling Kali’s lips on his face.

“Will I get eaten…?”

A very weak voice escaped Shin’s mouth, he wasn’t even able to stand properly.

“Yes…”

Kali answered Shin as she stared at him.

“I will eat you.”

Kali carried Shin in her embrace, walking towards her own room.

When the two entered Kali’s room, Shin wasn’t able to think properly before Kali placed him on the bed.

A yelp escaped Shin’s mouth as he stared at Kali approaching him…

The time passed by swiftly and the sun rose from beyond the mountains.

Shin was sleeping on the bed with a happy expression, but it was clear that he was also exhausted.

Kali had already left the bed, but there was a stain of blood on the white sheet.

Kali was pacing forth and back outside her bedroom, while biting her lips, glancing at the door to her bedroom every few seconds.

“I had no idea that I would see the ‘Purple Witch’ acting like that.”

A mocking tone came from behind Kali.

Aria taunted her, but her eyes were narrowed.

“Aria, I…”

Kali wasn’t able to speak as she stared at the door, Kali started biting on her lips even harder.

“Just let me tell you something.”

Aria started speaking when she saw that Kali couldn’t speak.

“Shin loves you with all his heart.”

“What right do you have to hesitate any longer? Respond to Shin’s feelings. Because, that was why no one interrupted you two…”

Kali stopped pacing as she raised her head towards Aria.

“I, I love him. Shin is the one thing in my life that can make me happy.”

“Before I met Shin, I lived only to live, never wanting to be weak, never wanting to let anyone decide over my fate. But, all of these changed when I saw Shin’s eyes for the first time…”

“That is why…”

Aria’s voice turned slightly cold as she turned around to walk, only leaving a few words.

“Do never betray Shin’s love in you, because he loves you more than anything else in this world. And, if you do, at that time, my sword will be the last thing you will see…!”

Kali lowered her head, but her eyes glinted with determination, she muttered in a hoarse voice, but she was happy.

“No matter what, I will never leave him!”

After having said this, she turned towards the door and opened it. She could see that Shin was still sleeping on the bed, she silently closed the door before laying on the bed near Shin.

When Kali laid on the bed, Shin muttered weakly before reaching his arms towards Kali’s body, embracing her softly while smiling.

“I love you, Shin…”

Kali spoke those words before closing her eyes, sleeping peacefully with Shin in her arms.

After waking up, Shin had a normal day, playing games with Ker’Vrak and Gin’Iro before sleeping in Kali’s bedroom…

The next day, Shin stood up in the morning, seeing Kali had left the bed. After rubbing his eyes, he could see Aria sitting on the chair in front of the bed. But, the clothes Aria was wearing was a white dress reaching down to her ankles.

“Mother, why are you here?”

Shin tilted his head as he asked curiously.

“Hehe, you have to get washed up, Shin. You’re getting married today.”

Aria laughed with a smile on her face, she was irritated that Kali had taken Shin from her, but she wouldn’t mind as long as she could see Shin’s smile.

“Oh…!”

Shin nodded before jumping off his bed, he glanced everywhere before asking Aria.

“Mother, where is Kali?”

“You can’t see your lovely brides until the wedding. Also, don’t try to look for them, okay?”

Aria stood up from her bed and pinched Shin’s cheek caringly.

“Come, let’s go and get ready.”

Shin nodded a few times, following behind Aria while holding her warm and tender hand.

After two hours, Shin stood in front of a mirror, staring at himself in a daze.

Shin’s silver hair was cut, it was now reaching only down to his ears, but it was shining in the light.

Shin’s eyes were dark like the night sky, but it was bright as the sun for those who saw it.

His skin was white but looked healthy, and the smile on Shin’s face was remarkable gentle.

And the clothes Shin was using, was the silver suit Gin’Iro gave him.

Aria was staring at Shin in a daze too.

Shin is more beautiful than anyone in the world…

Aria wasn’t able to believe how gorgeous Shin was looking, his expression was gentle, but his eyes had glints of an unimageable will in it.

“Hehe, you’re very pretty, Shin.”

Shin blushed as he lowered his head slightly, not knowing what to say.

Aria shook her head, reaching out her hand towards Shin.

“Come, let us go. Your wedding is starting soon…!”

After Aria said those words, Shin widened his eyes and rushed towards her and held her arm.

“Am I going to be late?”

Shin’s eyes started becoming watery.

“No, you won’t be late.”

Aria kissed Shin on his forehead, sighing in her heart.

Even if he came late, the guests and the brides would wait for him for days without complaining…

Aria walked while holding Shin’s hand outside the castle, after they left the castle, they could see thousands of civilians sitting quietly.

Shin opened his mouth, he didn’t know what to think.

Aria smiled gently as she helped Shin move towards the centre. Because, at the centre stood an altar made by various colours.

When Shin stared at the altar, he could see eleven figures standing there patiently.

Kali, Peutoa, Azane, Eline, Mekina, Zura, Murutha, Shenya, Lia, Lola and Laura.

Kali was wearing a beautiful purple dress reaching down to her knee, she had a bright smile on her face as she was watching Shin.

Peutoa didn’t show much expression, but she looked beautiful. She was wearing a yellow dress which was reaching down to her ankles.

Azane was wearing a revealing red dress, but she didn’t care as she was grinning.

Eline was wearing a white dress, which looked almost like a skirt. The frills on the dress was golden which made Eline look stunning. Even Eline’s expression was stunning, she was glancing to find Shin eagerly.

Mekina was wearing a dress made out of red feathers, she had a bright smile on her face.

Murutha’s expression was gentle, she showed a small smile as she wore a blue dress.

Shenya was wearing a pink dress, she had a grin on her face as she glared at Shin with hungry eyes.

Lia wasn’t wearing her mask for the wedding, she wore a beautiful short teal dress, but she stood tall, not smiling until she saw Shin arriving.

Lola was wearing a green dress, she was smiling brightly as she glanced everywhere. Lola was blushing as she knew that she was going to get married, even her long ears were red.

And at last, Laura. She was wearing a black dress, not her usual maid outfit. She was fiddling her fingers as she tried to look for Shin with an anxious expression.

Shin smiled brightly, but he didn’t run up to them. Aria led him slowly up to the altar. On one side, stood the eleven beautiful girls and on the other side, stood Shin and Aria.

When Shin glanced at the guests, he could see Ker’Vrak, Malika, Ovan, Bayoun, Gladius, Kira, Tor, Susan, Elise, Anaj, Ulrike, Gin’Iro, Eva and Hath. Even further behind, Shin managed to see Leo, Tharia and Qui.

Shin tried to calm himself down before staring at Kali and the other girls with happiness and joy.

Never had Shin ever thought that there would come one day that he would be able to live happily with those he loved.

Tears started running down Shin’s face.

I am happy.

I am happy to be alive.

With tears running down Shin’s face, Shin let out a bright smile as he walked towards his own brides.
