Vampire's Slice of Life

Chapter 358 Marriage (2)

"…shall we begin?" 

Lith and Emilia both nodded hearing that.

"Let's begin, Noman." Lith smiled and answered.

Lith knew Noman was a Seraphim and also an Emperor Rank, but his appearance now made him appear more like a Greek god than an angel. But he didn't say this thing out loud and kept it to himself as he looked at Noman with a smile.

Noman nodded his head and looking at the book floating in front of him, he started chanting a few verses from it.

Emilia held Lith's hands in the front and bowed her head as she heard the chants. Lith followed suit and did the same.

The chants Noman was saying were all directed towards the elemental energy Light and not some particular god or anything. The chants were also prayers that wished Lith and Emilia a prosperous and a happy married life together. They also wished for the well being of the two and that there was peace and harmony always present in their relationship.

The priest Noman, while chanting, waved his hand from time to time and a golden thread from the golden ball above Lith and Emilia's head came out and entered inside the two's Magic Cores. This thread was just a strand of Light elemental energy equipped with the chants from Noman.

Noman's chants had so much power in it that the sky always stayed clear of any clouds. There were also a lot of birds and animals that appeared around the wedding venue, watching Lith and Emilia as well as listening intently to what Noman was saying. 

Alexandra and Lucy, these two young girls who were witnessing such a thing for the first time were very amused. 

Lucy tugged her mother's gown lightly and whispered, "Mom, look."

Though she was wearing the Queen's crown on her head, in front of the actual Queen, she was no more than a little girl.

Lilith put a finger on her lips and said to Lucy, "Shh. We can discuss this after the ceremonies are over."

"Oh… okay." Lucy nodded her head and sat quietly in her place.

Lilith smiled and patted Lucy's head. Her daughter was really very obedient.

Everyone who was here in the venue, except for Noman, a few other angel servants, and Emilia, nobody had witnessed an angel marriage before and didn't know the things that occurred. It was everyone's first time to witness such things and the people were amazed.

Soon, as Noman continued, more and more animals and birds gathered around the venue and the servants were on high alert due to this. They couldn't let any creature get close to the stage and disturb the thing and so, they were on guard.

Usually, in Angel and Elven weddings, the chants that they did during their ceremonies were all very closely related to nature and life itself. Thus, it was natural for the climate to change as well as birds and animals to come and listen.

It was also said that if there was no such thing happening, then the priest who said the chants wasn't a good one and they would need to get someone better. It was either that, or the marriage was bound to be unsuccessful and one shouldn't marry at that point as it was also considered a bad omen. 

An hour later.

"…now, before we enter into the final part of the ritual, I hereby ask you both for your confirmation." Noman looked at the two and said in a calm tone.

Emilia held Lith's hands tightly as she heard that.

Noman turned his head to look at Emilia and asked, "Miss Emilia, do you take His Highness, Lith Evure, as your, Emilia Liwet's husband?" 

Emilia nodded her head. "I do." 

Noman nodded. He turned to look at Lith. "Your Highness, do you take Emilia Liwet as your, Lith Evure's wife?"

Lith nodded his head. "I do."

Noman nodded once again. He then began chanting the verses from the holy book in his hands once again.

The ball of Light above Lith started shrinking in size as it let out more and more golden threads from it as Noman continued his chants.

Soon, it was left to just a small ping pong ball's size and appeared as if it would vanish at any moment.

Noman was almost done chanting now. All that's left was for him to chant the final verse where the husband and wife were supposed to pay their respects to Light, nature, the King of Angels, their ancestors, and their parents.

Noman made the two stand together and said,

"O divine Light, I, Noman, ask you to bless these children as they venture into their married life from here on." 

Noman then gestured from Lith and Emilia to bow to pay their respects and get the blessings of the Light. 

The two did and the ball above their heads shrunk even further as more threads came out of it. It was now left to only a small candy's size. 

After they were done paying their respect to Light, Noman said, 

"O mother nature, I, Noman, ask you to bless these children…" 

The same thing happened as before and Lith and Emilia bowed to pay their respects to nature.

The birds and animals also bowed this time as they heard Noman say that.

Lith felt some energy enter him as he paid his respect and he felt warm all over his body. He had no idea what it was but since it wasn't something bad, he didn't dwell much on it.

Noman then said, "O Heavenly Emperor, the King of Angels, I, Noman, ask you to bless these children…"

…..

Heavenly Court, Angel Continent.

A blonde-haired man wearing exquisite royal silver and blue robes was sitting on a throne in a domineering manner in a large and spacious court, looking down at the many Angel Kings present. 

He had his hands placed on his sword and his deep blue eyes contained the vast experiences of his long life.

This man was none other than the King of Angels, the Heavenly Emperor, Alex Paladin. 

It was an usual day for Alex as he was sitting and governing in the Heavenly Court. But right at this moment, Alex heard Noman's prayers and got distracted.

"Silence." Alex commanded and everyone stopped talking in the Heavenly Court and put their whole attention on Alex.

Alex ignored them and closing his eyes, he looked at who was calling him or looking for him.

Soon, Alex saw Noman's Greek god-like figure and as he noticed Noman, Noman looked at him straight in the eyes and raising one of his fingers, he swirled it around in a circle, gesturing Alex to look around.

Firstly, Alex was shocked to find out that it was Noman who called him and secondly, he was even more shocked to find out that it wasn't just Noman present here, but Emilia as well.

The next shock came to him when he looked around and saw the Vampire Queen, Lilith, already staring at him with a smile, having an expression on her face that read ‘you're late'. 

Alex soon understood the situation and despite being shocked, he knew he had to do his job and give his blessings to Emilia and Lith.

He quickly sent out his blessings and after he was done, he came back to his senses and opened his eyes to see himself back in the Heavenly Court.

‘That was… weird. I have no idea why that girl Emilia would end up marrying someone not from the Angel race, but then, it's the Vampire Prince she is marrying. I guess it's okay. The Vampire Queen didn't even inform me about these things, had she done it, I would've personally attended their marriage or become the priest who would get them married.'

‘Emilia is like my own child, I've seen her grow to where she is now. I could've at least done this much for her.'

‘But all things aside, I am glad that I at least got to know about it now. Had it been any late, Emilia would've ended up falling from grace and I would've been forced to remove her from the Heavenly Court. Thankfully, she hasn't done anything yet that would make her a fallen.'

‘Anyway, I wish you the best and my blessings shall always be with you, Emilia. Take care of yourself.' <sub></sub>

Alex, despite getting a lot of shocks, was as calm as a still lake and didn't even budge. Even though he ended up looking at the Vampire Queen so suddenly and directly in her eyes, he had no change in his expression.

Alex soon got back to governing and let go of the thoughts he was having previously.

…..

Unexplored regions, Neutral Continent.

"…married life from here on." Noman had only just finished praying to the King of Angels now. 

He ended up looking at the King of Angels and also gesturing to him to judge what was happening and give his blessings to the couple. It was due to him that Alex was notified about Lith and Emilia's marriage.

The blessing of the Heavenly Emperor came in the form of bright rays of Light and entered Lith and Emilia's bodies.

The two were about to bow again to pay their respect, when Noman shook his head and gestured to Lith to not do it.

Noman softly said to Lith from the side that he could thank the King of Angels, but paying respect was something that he shouldn't do. Lith had no idea why Noman just said that but since he was someone experienced, Lith didn't question him and did as he was asked.

As for Emilia, she paid her respects. The King of Angels was someone important to her and so she had to do it, unlike Lith. Noman also didn't stop her from doing so.

Noman then prayed and Emilia ended up paying respect to her ancestors. Lith was once again asked not to do it, but this time it was Lilith who stopped him. Once again, Lith was confused but didn't question. He thought that he'll ask her later about why that was the case.

A few minutes later, Lith and Emilia paid their respects to Emilia's parents and then it was finally time to pay their respects to Lilith.

Noman looked at Lilith and said, "O revered one, I, Noman, pray for you to…" 

After Noman finished praying, Lilith got up from her seat and walked on the stage and stopped when she was in front of Lith and Emilia.

She hugged the two and patting their backs, she said, "my blessings and my protection shall always be with you."

Lith and Emilia smiled and so did everyone sitting on their chairs.

After Lilith backed off, Lith and Emilia were about to bow to pay their respects when Lilith stopped them. "No need for that, fufu." 

After saying so, Lilith went back to her place and Noman began his final chant.

A while later, he said, "…now, with the Light as witness, I, Noman, hereby declare you, Lith Evure, and you, Emilia Liwet, as husband and wife."

"You both may now kiss."

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"WOOOOHOOO!"

"YAAYYYYY!"

"HAPPY MARRIED LIFE YOUR HIGHNESSSSSS!!" 

The servants went wild with their cheers as they finally saw Lith and Emilia becoming husband and wife. They cheered and clapped with all their hearts and were very happy for their prince.

"Congratulations, little brother!" Lucy shouted as well.

"Congratulations, babe!" Arya shouted.

"Congrats, darling." Alexandra was not so enthusiastic. Why was it Emilia that got married first and not her? She was kind of salty about this.

"Congratulations, baby." Lilith said softly.

"Congratulations, Madam." Sel too said softly.

Lith, who was holding Emilia's hands, looked at her and smiling, he pulled her close in his embrace.

Lith bent Emilia slightly and bending himself, he looked into her gorgeous blue eyes and said with a smile, "I'll be kissing you in front of so many people. You embarrassed?"

Emilia blushed hearing that. Was there a need to say such a thing? Could he not just kiss her without making her aware of the situation she was in?

"…just kiss already…" Emilia said in a low and shy tone.

Lith chuckled and bent down to seal his lips with Emilia's.

Emilia closed her eyes and hugged Lith. She enjoyed the first kiss of her husband fully to her satisfaction and tried to imprint this memory in her mind to keep it there forever.

Just like that, the marriage was over and Lith and Emilia became husband and wife successfully without any disturbances or problems.

After finishing up with their kiss, they made each other wear their rings on their ring fingers and ended up finishing what little formalities there were present.

All the people present had food and non alcoholic drinks and Noman who was on the stage, sang a song for everyone. The song was wishing Lith and Emilia a happy married life and it was something mandatory to do as the people had food and drinks.

The birds and animals gathered around Noman and a few meters around the stage, there were just these creatures present and they were dancing along to the melody Noman was giving out.

Everyone noticing this laughed and felt nothing much about it. They just let the animals do what they were doing and focused on their own foods and drinks.

Lith ended up feeding Emilia and Emilia did the same to Lith. They finished this formality as well and finally, after a few hours, as it was sunset time, everyone left the venue after watching the sunset and cleaning everything up.

It was dark and now it was time for the second marriage to take place, this time, in the Vampire Style.
