Chapter 408 W-what?!
"My King, I am extremely surprised and extremely happy at the same time. I’m glad I was able to see the prince before I leave this world. I can finally breathe easy, knowing that the royal bloodline will continue on." Old man Mizuhara stated so emotionally and the former king immediately consoled him like the good friend he was. After all, this loyal ally of his was among the people who were most hurt due to the news of Princess Fei’s death.
"It’s alright now my friend. Everything is falling into their rightful places. Even I was so surprised actually. I didn’t know that my future granddaughter in law was your granddaughter. The goddess of fate was faithful to us. Our paths will always meet no matter what happens." The former king said and everyone almost teared up. Well, who would have thought that the daughter of the Miss who left their clan many years ago would still find her way to her rightful place? This is indeed the miraculous work of fate...
...
After formally introducing Sei to the Mizuhara clan, old man Mizuhara lead the royal family towards a private room for their talk about what Sei had said a moment ago.
Little Shin was already sleeping in his great grandmother’s arms as everyone started their discussion.
"So? When will the wedding take place?" Old man Mikazuki asked after everything was settled and all eyes fell to the couple before them. Sei’s expression was so serious that the other elders were very reluctant to even say anything, for fear that they may utter something that the great prince didn’t like.
Upon hearing his grandfather’s question, Sei immediately stated his one word answer.
"Now."
Everyone except Davi: "..."
As if Mister noisy black crow appeared flying above them, the entire room fell silent. Even the old madam who was on the couch with little Shin suddenly lifted her face in shock.
’Was this great prince for real?! Did I even hear him right?’ As everyone asked this question to their inner selves, old man Mikazuki once again spoke.
"Dear grandson, did you just say ’now’?" the old man asked again and like an absolute emperor, Sei nodded as he said the firm and serious "Yes!"
As soon as the word left his mouth, one of the elders choked and he coughed lightly. Even Sei’s own grandfather was speechless as he looked at just how serious Sei was. Seriously... this grandson of mine...
"Dear grandson, isn’t this way too rushed? You’re not actually thinking about marrying at this very moment, right?" The old man said in disbelief as he stared at his wrist watch. "It’s just gone past midnight."
"Grandfather, I am serious. We can now prepare for the wedding at this moment." Sei replied, looking so sure as usual, as if he was a god who had control over everything, even time.
Everyone was again speechless for a while before old man Mikazuki cleared his throat. He knew this grandson of his. Whenever he looked this serious, no one could stop him once he decided over something, no matter how ridiculous it may seem. Moreover, he could even do the unthinkable if he’s like this.
"Dear grandson, have you discussed this with your fiancée?"
"Yes."
"She agreed?"
"Yes."
Everyone: "..."
Somehow, the elders felt like this talk wasn’t even necessary because this couple seemed to have already decided about everything on their own. However, why now?
"I don’t know why you are in such a rush and I don’t really see the need for getting married at this very moment, so why don’t we make it tomorrow or another day? Besides, there are still a lot of preparations to make for this." Old Mikazuki explained but as expected, Sei was unfazed.
"We’ve already decided to do it now."
"..."
"Actually, everything is now ready."
"...?!!"
Shocked at Sei’s words, everyone’s eyes went wide. Even Davi looked at him with a questioning look.
Everything is now ready? W-what?!
