Today was a special event.
It was the day when Lux Von Kaizer would marry his lovers.
The wedding would be held on the floating island, which was docked just outside of the Fynn Kingdom's Capital City.
The important people from all over Elysium and Solais made their way to the venue with the intention of being part of the grandest wedding in the history of the world.
The wedding would be held in front of the Headquarters of Heaven's Gate, which was now filled to the brim with guests.
Those who were unable to get some good seats watched the event on the decks of their flying ships, from the sky.
The groom restlessly stood at the makeshift altar with his father and mother, feeling excited and anxious at the same time.
"Are you nervous?" Adeline asked as she used her hand to smooth the non-existent creases in Lux's black suit.
"Yes, Mother," Lux replied.
"Hah! Even though you're already this powerful, you still get cold feet?" Vincent, Lux's biological father asked. "But I have to admit that all of your wives are very beautiful. I wonder, should I also marry other wome-arggggh! It was just a joke, Adeline! Just a joke!"
The beautiful Elf didn't hesitate to pinch Vincent's waist, making the latter cry out in pain.
"Can you repeat what you just said?" Adeline asked. "I didn't hear you properly the first time."
"Wife, I love only you," Vincent replied in an anxious tone. "This is why I haven't married anyone else ever since the two of us got together."
"Uh-huh, then what was that about you planning to marry more women?"
"Marry what? How can I possibly do that when I already have the best woman in the world? Such nonsense!"
Lux couldn't help but laugh internally as he looked at his henpecked father who was at the mercy of his mother.
Adeline was about to say more, but she stopped herself when she noticed a pair of cute little girls walking down the carpeted floor while throwing flower petals.
One of them had long blue hair and blue eyes, while the other had long blonde hair and gold eyes.
They were wearing blue and yellow dresses, highlighting the color of their hair and eyes.
These two adorable girls were none other than Eiko and Fei Fei.
Similar to Eiko, Fei Fei had gained the ability to transform into a Human. The two of them had been chosen to be the flower girls for the wedding, and the two of them had wide smiles on their faces as they threw flowers.
Behind them, the Sea Otter, Lucky, hovered a meter above the ground. Mounted on his back was none other than the Dim Sum God, Dim Dim, who was also throwing flower petals everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Adeline pulled her husband's hand as they walked back to the front seats, where they belonged.
The brides had arrived, and Lux's gaze softened as he looked at them walking down the aisle.
Iris was being escorted by her Father, Alexander.
Cai was being escorted by her Grandpa, Maximilian.
Valerie by her Father, King Azza.
Aurelia by her father, Keoza.
Aina and Luna were escorted by Victor.
Since Luna no longer had any living family members aside from Aina, King Victor decided to escort her to the altar, having considered her as part of his family.
Ali and Ari, on the other hand, were escorted by their Father, Tirion, whom Lux had only met thrice since the war had ended.
Aurora was escorted by her father, King Septimius, while Queen Rhiannon was escorted by Antero in his human form.
With his in-laws being made up of the most powerful individuals in both Elysium and Solais, it was no exaggeration to say that Lux was the most influential person in both worlds.
One groom and ten brides.
Everyone looked at them with smiles on their faces, including Princess Anastasia and Henrietta, who both didn't know that they would be marrying him as well a year from now.
Lux stood at the center, with his wives standing behind his back.
When everyone had gathered, an old man wearing an eye patch, walked towards the altar holding a book in his hand.
He then glanced at the people and raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to remain silent.
"We are gathered here today to join this young man, and these beautiful ladies in holy matrimony," James said with a smile. "With love and commitment, they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wives."
"But, before I continue, if anyone objects to the marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace."
After James said these words, Asmodeus stood up and turned around to face the guests, who had come to witness his Master's wedding.
"If any of you have a death wish, speak now or forever hold your tongue," Asmodeus stated.
Diablo, Ishtar, Pazuzu, and the rest of Lux's Named Creatures all stood up, ready to deal with the troublemakers who would dare to get in the way of their Master's happiness.
Seeing that no one was saying anything, James smiled and faced the Groom and his Brides.
"Today, as you join yourselves in marriage, there is a vast and unknown future stretching out before you," James said softly. "The possibilities and potentials of your married life are great, and now falls upon your shoulders the task of choosing your values and making your dreams real.
"Through your commitment to each other, may you grow and nurture a love that makes all of you better people. A love that continues to give you great joy, and also a passion for living that provides you with energy and patience to face the responsibilities of life."
"May you always need one another, not to fill an emptiness, but to help each other know your fullness. May you want one another, but not out of lack. May you embrace one another, but not encircle one another.
"May you succeed in all important ways with each other, and not fail in the little graces. May you have happiness, and may you find it in making one another happy. May you have love, and may you find it in loving one another."
James then glanced at the two little girls and nodded their head in their direction.
Eiko and Fei Fei walked toward the altar, holding the box that contained the wedding rings.
Lux took a ring from the box, and gently placed it on Iris' ring finger.
He did the same for his other brides until all of them were wearing their wedding rings.
"I pledge today to have all the patience and passion that love demands. In laughter and in silence, I'll forever be by your sides," Lux said. "All of your love gives me hope. Your smiles give me joy, each of you makes me a better man.
"Forever with all of you will simply not be enough, but from this day forward, I vow to make the most of every moment."
Cai and the others also said their vows, making Lux feel his heart melt inside his chest.
The last one to say her vow was Iris, who gently slid Lux's wedding ring on his ring finger.
"On behalf of everyone, we pledge to honor you, love you, and cherish you as our husband today and every day," Iris said. "We love you with all of our hearts with a passion that can't be expressed in words, only in kisses, glances, and years of adventures by your side.
"Today, we are the happiest women in the world, and we are certain that our happiness has only just begun."
After saying their vows, James raised his hands, and a faint radiant light descended from the sky, bathing the Brides and Groom with the blessings of the heavens.
"With the power vested on me, I hereby pronounce you husband and wives. You may now kiss your brides!"
A resounding cheer and applause reverberated in the arena as Lux kissed his brides one by one.
Lux and his brides then walked down the aisle together, receiving the blessings of everyone.
A few minutes later, Iris threw her bouquet of flowers, which was a wedding tradition on Earth that Lux wished to adopt in Elysium and Solais.
Surprisingly, the one who caught the bouquet was none other than Lux's Grandmaster, Hereswith, making her smile with amusement.
Lux had said that whoever caught the bouquet that was thrown by the bride, would superstitiously be the next one to get married.
Although the Half-Elf didn't know if Hereswith would indeed marry someone in the future, he wished with all of his heart that his Grandmaster would find happiness in her life.
That night, Lux spent his honeymoon with his wives in one of the most beautiful places in the Fynn Kingdom, savoring the overflowing love, and passion that all of them had for him.
