Chapter 746: The Wedding [Pt 5]



Elrich Lendertwale enjoyed himself as the moderator of the entire wedding ceremony.

From the exchange of oaths to the reception, he was also in charge of organizing the programs, ensuring the event went as planned and that there was absolutely nothing wrong with anything.

Of course, that also meant protocol and security officers.

It felt good to be busy… to be relevant. Sure, the stakes weren't as high as saving the world, but just for today, he was the hero!

"And now… it's time for the 'Magic Toss'!" Elrich declared with great pleasure.

The reception was swelling with so much excitement that not everyone picked up on his words and the consequences until it was too late.

Neron and Serah, who had returned to the stage, after spending so long greeting guests and having a generally good time, now had a purposeful look in their eyes.

The Magic Toss was something they couldn't forego.

"You ready?" Neron asked Serah with a knowing smile.

The whole thing was riding on her, so it was only a matter of course to ask her.

"Definitely." She returned his grin.

In one swift motion, she turned her back to her audience and generated a small flaming spell on her hand. It wasn't powerful enough to seriously harm anyone, but it was concentrated with enough energy that dodging it was impossible.

This ball of flames burst into a bouquet-like structure and as soon as it did, Serah lifted it above her head.

"Readyyyyyy? GOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Elrich's voice echoed throughout the hall, instantly prompting Serah to launch the flaming bouquet.

>VWOOOOOOSSSSSHHHHHH!!!<

Like an unstoppable rocket, the projectile ascended into the air and shot through the sky, finally descending upon the anticipating audience.

The pressure was on and the flaming construct was descending in a particular direction—towards an unsuspecting target.

>BOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!<

The moment the bouquet hit the target, it burst into sparkles of amber light. Like glitters, the bright fragments of light showered her body.

"W-wha…?" The shocked lady muttered, glancing at the man she had been speaking to and then at the entire crowd that had their gaze fixated on her.

As her blond hair danced and her innocent eyes searched for an answer, she quickly realized what was going on. She had been chosen!

'W-wait a secon—!'

Even before her thoughts could completely process how she ought to respond, a loud shout rang through the air, sealing the deal for her completely.

"Aloe Vida is going to get married next! And her suitor is right beside heeeeerrrrrr!!!"

The voice came from a rather young boy who excitedly jumped out of his place of hiding. He had scaly skin on some parts of his body—an obvious sign of being a Beastfolk.

This was Asa and his mischievously bright smile said everything that needed to be understood.

"N-no wai—"

Before Aloe and Maro could contest Asa's sudden announcement, a loud roar pierced the air. It was the deafening sound of victory, surging from the crowd.

They had all seen the bouquet descend on her like a comet and they all knew what the Magic Toss meant—at least, it had been explained in their invitation cards.

The toss was meant to choose the next person in the audience who would get married.

Not only did it fall on Aloe, but she'd also been having a very engaging conversation with a man when it happened. These were signs that were too clear to refute.

Aloe Vida and Maro Smith… those two had to be getting married soon.

"WOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

The audience drowned Aloe's protests and Maro's awkward laughter with their cheers. The supposed couple clearly had no say in their union.

It was fate!

It was destiny!

It was… LOVE!

"WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!" The audience cheered even more.

As they all cried in happiness and excitement, plunging the bashful duo into a tumultuous sea of unwanted attention, Neron and Serah were grinning.

"You did well to aim at her." Neron grinned with mischief.

"Come on. I know you improved the speed of the Spell with your Magic. They never stood a chance."

These two had clearly planned it out. Why they would do such a thing remained a mystery. However, they were clearly having the most fun.

"Hehehe… hehehehe."

Thus, the party continued in even higher spirits than before—with everyone drowning themselves in the joy that filled their hearts.

Well, not that everyone was in that festive state.

A particular group seemed to be in a more serious mood compared to everyone else. It consisted of a mature and important couple… and a young one.

'Why did they have to do the Magic Toss now? Things just got even more awkward'

I was standing right in front of the Helmsworths—Maria's parents. Their cold gazes were more than enough to make me uncomfortable, but now the joyful mood increased the tension in the air.

Frankly speaking, it was overwhelming.

"I have come to greet you both, as the parents of the woman I love, as well as my future in-laws." I managed to squeeze out a statement.

I spotted my father making a wry smile while my mother cringed a little. Was I so stiff in my statement that it fell completely flat?

"You have done well, Jared." Fortunately, Maria's father didn't seem to think that way.

"What Franklin says is true. We appreciate your efforts to greet us and even planning for our families to meet like this. You have my appreciation."

As I had already noticed before, the Helmsworths really didn't show any emotions when they spoke. It unnerved me at first, but it seemed I was getting used to it.

"Your compliments are too much. I have not forgotten the agreement we made in the Royal Palace. Once I am of age, I will officially visit your estate with my family and declare my intentions to the entire Helmsworth Household.

The two nodded in agreement and it seemed like they leaked out a small smile. It could have just been my imagination, but I could have sworn I saw it.

"We anticipate your presence."
