Chapter 85 The Wedding "Ah, it bit me again—"

Because Shi Wei disliked Manla's sweltering summers, the wedding was scheduled for the milder spring. Many flowers bloomed in the palace during this season, and Jing Chen, allergic to pollen, had to wear a mask and glasses. He patiently greeted every passing noble with a friendly smile: "Good day, Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to meet you~"

While complaining to Duke Himer beside him, he said, "Why is it that with such advanced technology, humanity has not yet conquered allergies? I feel my face starting to swell."

“Allergies are not a disease.” Hemer turned his head slightly and said to him, “Allergies are a kind of immune response of the human body. Didn’t I ask you to get tested for allergens last time? After the test, you can treat the allergens accordingly.”

Jing Chen screamed in a low voice, "Do you know how many allergens I tested positive for that day? 1,300! And this was just the first batch of tests! The doctor said that treating one allergen would take anywhere from three days to three months. Even at the fastest rate, it would take me ten years!"

Himer: "..."

By this time, almost everyone had arrived. Since it was just an engagement ceremony, people weren't too particular about their attire or seating arrangements. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual, much like a regular banquet.

Jing Chen leaned closer and asked, "Is the one talking to His Highness Cyril Miss Shi's brother? He looks quite young."

Himer pushed him away, saying disdainfully, "Yes, that's her brother. Can you stop hanging around me? There are so many young and beautiful Omegas here today, why don't you go chat with them? If you see someone you like, I'll help you find out—"

Jing Chen pursed his lips and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm a Beta, unlike you Alphas. All the young and beautiful Omegas are going for you. Look, His Highness has already started introducing Omegas to Miss Shi's brother. Your Highness, don't worry about me. You haven't even found someone yourself yet."

“Me?” Hammer raised an eyebrow, revealing a meaningful smile that seemed out of place for his age. He strolled leisurely and said, “I’m not in a hurry. I’m only in my forties. But you, your father has told me about it many times…”

His marriage probably can't be settled too soon. The eldest son of the Jiang family's plan fell through, and now it seems they've set their sights on him again. A while ago, they tried to match him with an Omega in the royal family—their intentions shouldn't be too obvious.

Jing Chen lowered his eyebrows: "Alright, alright, Your Grace, please stop talking. Let's just watch His Majesty's engagement ceremony."

...

More than a month after the engagement ceremony, King Sklag II initially planned a grand celebration. He felt that he and Shiwei had both been having bad luck and needed a grand celebration to dispel the misfortune. However, because Shiwei said she didn't want a big celebration and didn't want to go through those cumbersome procedures, the ceremony was greatly shortened, retaining only the necessary steps.

Standing once again in Starshine Square, Shi Wei felt a mix of emotions. Five years ago today, she was arrested by the Security Bureau here. Five years later, the top two leaders of the Security Bureau had just given her their blessings. The audience was filled with prominent members of Manra's elite families. And she was no longer the small, insignificant, and helpless person she was five years ago.

She stood beneath the archway entwined with flowers, watching the mighty Emperor Wang Yi approach, leading a black wolf who served as a flower girl.

Pink and white roses were in full bloom, looking delicate and beautiful in the warm spring sun. Shi Wei wore a retro white fishtail dress, adorned with pearls and various gemstones. Her hair was styled into a bun shape, with two roses tucked into her hair, highlighting her beautiful and charming face.

The theme of this wedding dress is the ocean. The designer incorporated a lot of ocean elements and ingeniously used special materials to create a wave effect on the fishtail skirt, making it look like the seawater is flowing with each step.

His Majesty's attire also incorporated the same elements, perfectly complementing his sea-blue eyes.

"A perfect match, Your Highness, don't you think?" Jiang Chuge appeared beside Siman at some point. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was standing in the front row and Siman dared not make a move, he kept saying in a sarcastic tone, "Oh dear, are you angry? Are you going to bite me?"

Similan glared at him fiercely.

Jiang Chuge crossed her arms and said with a smile, "Aren't you especially resentful? Aren't you especially depressed? Aren't you so angry you can't sleep at night? Miss Shi—oh no, I should call her Empress or Madam—she just doesn't like you~ How pitiful~"

Siman suddenly smiled at him. Jiang Chuge raised an eyebrow, thinking that he had been angered to death by him. Suddenly, a wave of dizziness came over him, and a sharp pain shot through his brain—Damn it! He actually attacked him with his mental power!

Just as Jiang Chuge was about to retaliate, he noticed that Similan had already stood up, walked around him, and sat down next to Cyril.

Cyril glanced at him, then silently turned his head back.

After a moment of silence, Similan asked, "Will you call her Mother?"

Cyril shook his head.

Similan said, "I won't either. I know the old man prefers you to be in that position, but I won't sit idly by like you. One day I will prove to them that I am the best choice."

“Oh.” Cyril was as calm as a swamp, any words thrown at him would be swallowed up in silence.

"How boring," Similan said disdainfully, feeling that he had no backbone at all.

...

Emperor Manla rarely held a wedding while on the throne. Most princes would remain in the position of heir for many years. Many emperors were already over 100 years old when they ascended the throne, which was about the age when they would be looking for spouses for their children. Those who ascended the throne through extraordinary means were usually not too young either. Therefore, this wedding was modeled after the wedding of Sklag I and Asta.

The procession begins at Starshine Plaza and proceeds along the central axis to the palace. Registration and oath-taking ceremonies take place in the plaza, open to a select few citizens—this is the public-facing aspect. The banquet held at the palace is for internal use only, attended by a small number of citizens, with the remainder being high-ranking officials, nobles, and members of the royal family.

The oath was presided over by Miss Moran's grandfather, an old nobleman who was both elderly and humble, possessed some royal blood, and most importantly, was extremely generous—he spent a great deal of money to pull strings and secure the position.

Shi Wei was curious as to why such an old nobleman would be so keen on doing this kind of thing. Miss Moran shrugged and said, "My mother said that this wedding would definitely go down in history. She even wanted me to mention to you that she should be the host. But my grandfather overheard it, and then my mother was betrayed by my grandfather."

Shi Wei was a little embarrassed: "The old gentleman is also a man of character, um... of course I feel very honored."

The public ceremony proceeded smoothly. After she and Sklag II read the declaration, they exchanged rings, and then she picked up the crown placed on the black velvet cloth and put it on her head. This procedure was changed. In the past, the crown of the queen was put on by the emperor himself. However, when Sklag II helped her smooth her hair after she put on the crown, a set of flying cameras captured the moment perfectly.

This photo was published alongside the front pages of major news media outlets, evoking global reflection.

The wedding lasted three days, and Manra took a three-day vacation. The entire capital planet was covered in blooming roses—thus, the whole universe knew about Manra's new favorite.

By the time the banquet ended, Shi Wei was exhausted. In the past, when she accompanied Sklag II to various events, everyone would cooperate with them. But the wedding was different. They had to go through all the procedures themselves. Her energy was limited, and by the time it was finally over, she was so tired that she just wanted to find a place to lie down.

The dutiful little robots carried her into the bathroom to help her wash up, but halfway through, an uninvited guest barged in, and she showed no signs of waking up until His Majesty had thoroughly cleaned the little white rabbit.

His pheromones were already excitedly filling the entire room, but no matter how he tried to take pictures, Shi Wei could only hug him and hum a couple of times.

Sigh, I should have cut the process even more.

The next morning, Shi Wei woke up very early. She first kissed the man beside her, then prepared to get out of bed to wash up, but was dragged back by the man who had woken her up: "Where are you going? Hmm~"

Because he had just woken up, His Majesty's voice was still a little hoarse, and the last "hmm" was drawn out, making Shi Wei's heart skip a beat. Seeing that the man was about to kiss the back of her neck, Shi Wei quickly pushed against his bare chest and said, "Oh dear, don't do that! We have something very important to do later!"

"What...is it?" The wet, hot kiss made her shiver, and she almost gave in, but when she thought about what they were going to do later, Shi Wei said firmly, "No, no, we're going to visit Lord Asta at the Holy Monument later!"

"Oh." His Majesty's movements did not stop. One hand skillfully wrapped around her waist, while the other hand slid down along her soft belly, gently pressing on her lower abdomen.

Is going to see that bastard really that important?

The man didn't care at all, and whispered in her ear, "If we go too early, she'll be fast asleep anyway. Why don't we sleep a little longer?"

Shi Wei turned her head and bit his chin, saying in embarrassment and annoyance, "Are you sure you only need a little while?"

His Majesty's laughter traveled from his chest to her back; their skin touched, and any slight change in their bodies would be noticed by the other.

"That's not enough, but you slept soundly last night, and I held back all night..." The familiar pheromones forcefully stole her breath again, followed by a passionate kiss. The man's lips and tongue swished away her saliva, and when she tried to pull away, he gently bit the tip of her tongue.

When the kiss ended, Shi Wei's whole body turned pink.

"Ah, it bit me again—" His Majesty laughed lightly.

...

"Ugh—don't bite...hiss—" Sklag II took a deep breath, suppressing the impulse, and said with dissatisfaction, "Don't think you can meet your idol sooner by using such means. You'll have to make up for last night and today double."

This meant they weren't going to let her go, and Shi Wei let out a sob.

The Alpha, who was woken up early in the morning, was full of energy. Because of the wedding, Shi Wei had ignored him for several nights. After venting twice, he still refused to go out. In the end, Shi Wei had to kick him to make him stop.

The ceremony to visit the monument had to be moved to the afternoon.
