Chapter 647 - Taking Over Gigante Forest - Part 14
The Crown Prince Virion subconsciously looked at The Moonlight Maiden Sylvia. All she said became the shocking truth. That was the exact same story he heard from Sylvia. The defeat of The Dark Tribe, the death of The Green Sky Serpent, and including the fact that The Green Sky Serpent and The Dark Tribe worked together to kill The Kirin.
Aleesa had the same reaction as her nephew. She had heard about Sylvia\'s conjecture about what happened to The Kirin. She just lacked the details of where Kalliyang gave birth that weakened her. That was the only thing that lacked in Sylvia\'s story, and everything else was right on the spot.
The Crown Prince Virion slumped his shoulders and breathed out in relief. He made the right call by surrendering to The Tang Empire. "Thank you for answering my question, Sir Guardian Beast." Virion bowed his head toward Kalliyan. "You should not thank me, Young Elf. I was just doing what My Master asked me to. You are thanking the wrong person."
Being rebuked by Kalliyan, Virion snapped out of his shock and bowed his head toward Tang Shaoyang. "Thank you for letting me meet with Sir Guardian Beast, Lord Tang." He became even more respectful to Tang Shaoyang, the person who killed The Green Sky Serpent. \'If we decide to fight, The Elven will be razed… Damn! We should give My Sister to marry The Emperor.\' He regretted not pushing his sister to marry The Emperor. If his sister married The Emperor, they would have a close tie to The Emperor directly.
"Alright, I agree with your request. I will marry…" Tang Shaoyang looked at the two girls. He forgot the brides\' names already. Of course, it was not intentional because he truly forgot their name. He had been thinking about it, and he came up with a conclusion. He could marry them but not necessarily bed them. Not until he adapted to their appearance.
"My name is Aleesa, My Lord." The Elven Elder immediately changed the way she called him. It was as if The Elven had become The Tang Empire\'s vassal. "My name is Sylvia~." The Moonlight Maiden smiled and said in a gentle voice.
"Since Lord Tang agrees to marry them, when can we hold the wedding?" Virion wanted to hold the wedding as soon as possible after seeing The Kirin.
However, Tang Shaoyang shook his head. "We will not hold any wedding, but we can hold an oath marriage." He did not even hold the wedding with the other women, so these were no exceptions. He felt that the marriage oath was more than enough, so he would not waste his time with the wedding.
"But…" The Elven had a tradition for marriage. It was for the couple to make an oath in front of the sacred tree. Virion was about to object, but Aleesa cut him off midway. "I will follow as per your instruction, My Lord." Sylvia also followed Aleesa and agreed with the marriage oath. "But what\'s the marriage oath, My Lord?" Sylvia took the initiative to ask since this was her first time hearing about the marriage oath.
"It\'s an oath that a couple should take when they are married. Once you take the oath, you can\'t betray your husband, and the husband can\'t betray the wife. We will be bonded as a couple eternally until one of us dies." Tang Shaoyang summarized briefly. Of course, that was just nonsense from his side. He himself did not know the meaning behind the marriage oath.
Delia said that was just a ceremony of the people of the Arkania Continent. He did not really know if the marriage oath had a bound in it. The bluff worked well when he saw the change of expression of Aleesa and Sylvia. He did not know what made them react that way, but he continued. "Let\'s wrap things up quickly. I have let you meet Kalliyan, and we will form a new legion tomorrow. For the Marriage Oath, we can do it right now."
"She is a Holy Priest, and she will conduct the Marriage Oath for us." Tang Shaoyang introduced Selena to the girls and the Crown Prince. Holy Priest, that was Selena\'s hidden class, the reason why she could conduct the death oath and the marriage oath.
"This…" Crown Prince Virion looked at his aunt. He did not know what to do with this because this was different from what he and his father planned. However, he did not have a choice to refuse if they wanted to secure the agreement.
"Oh, tomorrow morning. I want The Head of The Elven and The Moonlight Tribe to make a loyalty oath to me as well. The Elders also have to make the loyalty oath to me, and after that, The Elven and The Moonlight Tribe officially become The Tang Empire\'s Vassals." Tang Shaoyang scanned the four people.
"We will arrange that," Aleesa responded with a nod. "Then let\'s start the Marriage Oath first."
Tang Shaoyang glanced at Selena, and the latter nodded her head. She stood up and extended her hand toward Tang Shaoyang and also Aleesa. "Please hold my hand and follow my words." Those words were directed to Aleesa and Sylvia. The two nodded their heads, and the Marriage Oath started with Aleesa.
The meeting hall glowed brightly as they held the Marriage Oath. Lusha and Crown Prince Virion became the witness of the marriage. There were so many things inside the Crown Prince\'s head, but he had no way to satisfy his curiosity. The humanoid creature with dragon characteristics, the oath, Holy Priest, and more. The Emperor was shrouded with mysteries he could not comprehend.
After the Marriage Oath, Tang Shaoyang released the hostages. The representatives who tried to prevent the war. He returned them intact, with all their limbs functioning properly. After a small chat, Crown Prince Virion and Lusha excused themselves to return to their home.
"I will come back with my father and The Elven\'s Elders tomorrow for the loyalty oath." The Crown Prince Virion knelt toward Tang Shaoyang. He was kneeling now, no longer bowing. He felt uncomfortable all over with this, but he had to bear it and get used to it.
"I will inform Chief Moon about the loyalty oath as well, Great Lord." Lusha followed after the Crown Prince… Her three comrades followed to kneel as well.
