"Richard Crest!" A loud voice echoed out in the hall, making a few of the servants turn their heads.All those who looked over saw a youth in military dress, he looked no older than someone in their twenties. No one knew who this youth was as they had not yet seen the posters and list of all the Generals names and pictures.
Tes has known of the Crest Clan for a long time, he saw how they were looked down on even though they tried their best to regain all that they lost when they were in their prime.
This made his blood boil as it reminded him of his Clan and how old allies ran away as they continued to fall, only to rush back once they became one of the few rulers of a Kingdom within the Empire.
Of the Independent Kingdoms his Ash Blood Kingdom is ranked as the second, only losing to the Fallen Ash Kingdom that belongs to Nathaniel and Jill Frost. He has long meet these two who keep to themselves but have pushed Pill Refinement to a new peak in the Empire.
Who among the Pill Refiners did not consider the two G.o.ds of the art.
He tries his best to achieve all that they have but in the field of battle and today he came to check how his wedding venue was turning out.
Tes had no idea why the young Princess wanted to see him after the war ended but now he could only smile bitterly.
Ayer had rushed to meet him after her injuries were taken care of, she already knew how she felt about Tes. This straight forward thinking youth fit her well even if he was a bit slow when it came to everything besides training and war.
Looking over at Tes"s smile many of the female servants blushed as they peeked at him while working. Richard rushed them back to work, he was well aware that this man was none other than the person who is soon to be married.
Others might not know as it was a secret wedding, he only knew that this was a wedding were a young General was marrying a young beauty that seemed to belong to an extremely powerful background that did not want to cause to much commotion with the wedding.
He even knew that one of the few Kings were going to show up and attend the wedding, to his knowledge if a king showed up there was a high chance that the Emperor would show up as he has attended every wedding of each of the t.i.tled Kings kin.
Would this wedding be like the one in the past were he got to sit near the Emperor? He had no idea but he planned to use this chance to gain a powerful backer among the attending Empresses.
Breathing in Richard calmed his fast beating heart and looked at Tes.
"Our Groom has already blessed us with his presence! Does this mean you are doubting my Clans ability to throw you such a grand wedding even if it is a secret one?" These words of Richard forced Tes to blush once more as he looked at Richard with burning eyes.
Tes was sure many of the servants below heard these words and he was embarra.s.sed that the one who proposed and suggested marriage was not him but Ayer.
He was going to be sure to keep this a secret as long as he could.
He felt his cheeks burning as he was indeed nervous but not because he doubting the Crest Clan but his own ability to not look a fool as the wedding was underway. As he continued to chat with Richard he found his worries melting away and he keep requesting more advice from the Elder.
Richard knew to help and provide as much advice as Tes desired as this would help him in the future no matter what, this was also his own sincere advice to a youth he wished to see grow and become a SuperPower Within the Empire.
Looking over at the Clan Head speaking to their General, the Crest Clan soldiers were at awe at what has happened to them in the past few months. They had no time to discuss with the Clan Head the partnership they now have with Empress Persephone.
After the war it was known that the little Princess Ayer ran after Tes and confessed her interest in him, after a month of dating the two were officially a couple in love. Many expected a wedding in the near future given one or two years but to their surprise Ayer proposed after the second month.
They needed to urgently speak to their Clan Leader as they knew his desire to befriend one of the Empresses so they could become a High grade Clan within the Empire instead of remaining a Mid Grade Clan.
How would these Empresses not see that the Crest Clan was a potential ally that could help them gain more power and influence within the Empire.
Every High Grade Clan and Sect possesed support from the Military or an Empress if not both, as for Mid Grade ones they lacked the fondation to be of help to the other competing powers to fully support their growth in becoming a High Grade Clan or Sect.
After High Grade if one was truly blessed they could become a King Grade Sect or Clan or the highly sought after Emperor Grade. Even to this day the only Clans that have reached that status that are not apart of the Royal Bloodline is the Joas Family, Miller Family and the newly risen Twine Clan.
Richard had no idea Tes was a young General that come from the Twine Clan, asking of his Clan name would have showed he only wanted to leech off of Tes instead of gain his friendship for helping his Clans youths finally joining a Legion.
As he keep accompanying Tes he soon noticed the sweat drenched youths of his Clan speaking to each other.
"Mitch, Steph! Why are you not training to be the leading examples of the Crest Clan, are you here guarding young Tes?" Richard asked his Clan members.
Once they finally got his attention they stopped worrying as the wedding was not going to start for another few hours.
"Clan head we need to talk! You have already given us authority to ally with powers within the Empire and we have finally gained support of an Empress!" All these words entered Richards head as his Clan"s youths sent a private mental message.
He visibly shook and Tes knew they had already spoke about their new ties to Empress Persephone.
He only knew that Ayer and Persephone had similar looks but who among the Emperor"s daughters does not look similar. Tes only suspected that Ayer was looking out for his future allies that was the Crest Clan, he had no idea that both his future wife and mother in law were getting things done.
Tes took his leave when he noticed a familiar face, he had seen Lham the Spirit Dragon from the Dragon Clan enter the Temple from afar. Thinking to himself he could not figure out why this personal guard of the Emperor would be here yet the Emperor himself is not.
Before anyone could ask Lham any questions he announced that he is here for young Prince Tes Twine.
Hearing the words Prince Tes followed by his Clan name Twine everyone keep looking at Tes with their jaws dropped. This included Richard who was a close friend of Tes, he knew the young General was from a powerful background but this powerful G.o.d no.
Richard was speechless as he looked over to his embarra.s.sed Clan members who knew but could not say anything yet.
Tes shook his head as he knew this was planned by the Emperor who was announcing that he was on his way.
As expected when Tes was speaking with Richard and his troops about the future and how he was testing them, Empress after Empress arrived with their own guards and followers.
Watching on, Richard was the only one able to speak.
"Tes my young friend I am afraid this wedding will not be secret at all." Tes could only nod as he heard Richard speak.
Looking below at the arriving Empresses he spotted Ayer at the center of them all as they went to work "preparing" her for her big day.
Once again Tes felt that Ayer and Persephone were too similar and he felt his brain ignite as he connected the dots.
If Persephone sponsored the Crest Clan at this time without any push back from the other Empresses who knew he was slowly helping this family grow from the shadows what did it mean?
As he was thinking Ayer sent him a look that dazed him and he simply smiled back at her. He then heard Empress Persephone"s voice like all the others.
"I have already heard of you from my daughter.
Tes she is overwhelmed by love when thinking of you, I have to thank you for not cowering and marrying my child. I have already seen to the Crest Clan so that no one interferes with the Clan as it grows and I have even became their supporter.
With this the Crest Clan should be a good ally for you in the future and an ally to my daughter."
After saying this Empress Persephone could be seen scooping up Ayer and walking into one of the Temple halls. This mother was seen making sure her daughter"s marriage was beyond perfect.
A few other Empresses could be seen looking over at Richard like a fat piece of meat that was snachtched away.
Some of them did not plan to give up on becoming allies with the Crest Clan.
...
"You are indeed evil for exposing his wedding in this way. Are you that upset that he took one of your daughters away? Father?"
Vesta"s silver hair dropped down over her shoulders as she spoke.
She was always growing it out and then cutting it short and no one but the Emperor knew why.
Other than that she stood next to the Emperor as she watched everyone enter the Temple, and besides her was Larisa who could be seen holding Vesta"s hand.
I looked over to see two radiant smiles looking down below.
Everyone of my wives were overjoyed to see one of their sisters gaining the ability to choose. While they were happy with their current lives they did indeed want to be like Ayer and have a choice.
Feeling this emotion from them caused me to have a wicked smile on my face, while I will leave Ayer and Tes alone the rest of them will suffer instead.
As soon as I began planning their soon to be "punishment" I felt a sting of pain as blood poured out of my right hand.
As the blood emptied out onto the floor it soon took form and Vivian emerged still holding my right hand.
Soon Valara and Verena along with Tia, Kiera and Ella rushed over as well.
More and more of my wives arrived besides me as they all felt the extreme urge from my desire.

Other than that they knew that what we just planned out would have to wait until after Ayer"s wedding.
Tes is one lucky s.h.i.t being so blessed taking my baby away from me, I still remember her smile and watching her grow up to rebel against my rules.
"Let"s go!" I said as I descended and entered the Grand Temples Halls.
Following behind me are Vivian, Valara, Verena, Tia, Kiera and Ella.
The others are a step behind and following them as the lead. The still working servants could not believe their eyes.
They stopped working as they watch this group of G.o.dly beings walk by and get seated.
Richard was already pa.s.sed out in one of the Host chairs.
As for the Crest Clan Elders they were no better as they were unsure how to act and were stiff as bricks while they sat at the table were they were sitting with the Emperor.
