1060 Wedding

In a black and white suit with golden embroidery, Varian walked toward the venue with a smile.

Even though he didn't go over the top with preparations, his handsome face was like a bright sun, lighting up the mood of everyone present. His lean yet muscular frame, almost as if it was sculpted by the heavens, stirred the hearts of the maidens.

But more than physical appearance, he gave off a feeling of…royalty, nobility, and sacredness.

None of the people could put it into words but they felt awed by his very presence. Varian was like a scorching sun shining in the darkness, his mere presence grabbed all attention.

The venue was built entirely of flowers, emitting an intoxicating fragrance and appearing like a scene out of a dream.

Moreover, the entire venue itself was in a sea of special flowers. These flowers would turn red for a few minutes before blue, then yellow, and so on. It was such a beautiful sight that brought tears of wonder.

Varian stood in front of his two brides and his smile grew wider.

Sarah was clad in an exquisite snow-white wedding dress. Her face was covered by a long, white, thin veil, adding to her angelic beauty while the soft white gloves only pushed it further.

The veil was special in a way that the bride could see others but others couldn't see her. But Varian could see her eyes. Those eyes with the color of the sky…

'Sarah…' Varian's heart stopped for a moment before he felt it burst with pure joy.' She'll be my wife…I'll be her husband.'

Was it normal to feel like this? Was it okay to feel this happy? This excited?

Varian didn't know. But he didn't care to think. All he knew was the emotions in his heart and the persons in front of him were real.

Then he turned to the beauty in black and sucked in a cold breath.

Her dress code was similar to Sarah's but he could see Sia's bare shoulders. Her veil also didn't fully cover her face but showed her lips. Those familiar red lips were curled into an arc. Her golden eyes were shining brightly and even without seeing at her lips, he could tell that she was smiling.

They lived together for years and today, they'd be husband and wife.

Varian's two eyes were filled with his two lovers. One was noble and elegant like an angel while the other was charming and tempting like a devil.

"Brides and Groom, please exchange your tokens of love."

At the instruction, Sarah and Sia took out a white and black bracelet respectively. Identifying the metal right away, Varian's heart trembled.

Heart Stone.

An extremely rare metal with a special property. It needs to be nurtured with one's own blood and aura. Through mechanisms no one figured out yet, this metal would shine when taken to the person who the nurturer values the most.

And the person who wears it could feel the feelings of nurturer toward them, even if it's only vague and fleeting. Even though it's the feelings captured during that period of nurturing, even though it's just an echo of the actual feelings, it's still incredibly precious.

Under Varian's shocked gaze, the girls took a hand each and placed the bracelet on him. It shrank, then melted and imprinted itself as a mark on his wrist.

Varian's body shook for a moment as a wave of intense love washed over him. It was caring, gentle, and cute but also fierce, worried, and charming. Two completely different but familiar loves engulfed him in their tsunami of emotions.

The love carried every shade of the girls he loved, every tone of their voice, every arc of their smile, every hum of their songs, every frown of their brows, every sound of their laughter, every touch of their fingers, every scent of their hair and every beat of their hearts.

It was everything yet only so little of what they had in their hearts.

At that moment, Varian vowed that even if everything broke down, he'd love them till his heart stops.

It all happened in a blink but for him, it felt like an hour.

Varian took out two silver rings and the air stilled.

The rings were made of precious alloys but the main ingredient in them was a plant vine filled with tremendous vitality. Varian had to search some really dangerous areas of the ruins to find this vine.

Then, on each of these rings, there was a special gemstone, one black, and one white. These stones were found after much work and even with all his strength, he was so exhausted that he got nearly late for his coronation.

"Tokens of love, they won't convey emotions but they'll keep you safe. And that's all I want." Varian said as he placed the rings onto their ring fingers.

The vine had a singular function. In case the wearer got fatally injured and about to die, it'd forcibly keep them alive for a brief period. The stones would teleport them away.

Sarah and Sia looked at the ring on their finger and smiled softly.

Every person loves differently. If their way of expressing love was showing him their feelings, then his way of love was ensuring their safety at all costs.

"Brides and Groom, state your oath."

Sarah and Sia raised their heads and looked into his eyes. Their eyes were bright and shining with intense emotions. Varian stared into their eyes and they stared back.

Everyone and everything seemed to vanish leaving them and only them alone in this beautiful ocean of flowers.

In that place, at that moment, Varian and his lovers knew what their oath would be.

There's no need to talk about sickness, poverty, or even death. For a love so strong that one was willing to sacrifice themselves for the other, these oaths become common sense that wouldn't need to be reiterated.

The ageless vows of tradition melted into a single declaration.

"I love you."

" "I love you." "
