974 Are you excited for the Ceremonial Union Clash!?
"Choosing a mere Emperor, that too, a human as a Groom for your only daughter. Tsk, the man is so weak that even challenging him would be embarrassing. If you had done a better job, you wouldn't be here asking us not to challenge your son-in-law just so you could save him from the embarrassment."
Caine snorted.
Orpheus, however, simply shook his head,
"He's not the one I am worried about."
Orpheus replied as he glanced at Caine.
"What do you mean?" Caine narrowed his eyes.
"Don't tell me I didn't warn you." Orpheus didn't explain himself.
"Yo-"
"Alright, let's stop this now, shall we?" Suddenly, Alaric jumped in.
He had his usual gentle smile on his face, however, the moment Orpheus and Caine looked that 'gentle smile' on his face, they turned silent.
"I have been thinking about it for a while now, where is Ambrosia?" Suddenly, Lyriana questioned as she glanced at Alaric.
She and Ambrosia weren't exactly close, however, out of all these people present here, she was the one who seemed the most bearable.
Yes, Lyriana didn't like anyone here. She was just here for the formality and wanted nothing more than to return to the Elven Forest.
"Well, Ambrosia is… busy…" Orpheus replied.
"Hmm? That Ambrosia?"
Suddenly, Ignatia Blaze, the Dragon Lord's strongest wife, an extremely beautiful dragon woman who was also Ambrosia's close friend. She, knowing Ambrosia's nature, was shocked that she was actually 'busy' with something.
"What? Are you Vampires planning something big?" Arcturus questioned.
Even he knew about Ambrosia, so seeing that she was acting on her own accord, he was taken aback as well.
"Don't ask me, even I don't know what that sister of mine is doing. Orpheus isn't telling me anything either."
"I was just trying to keep things interesting," Orpheus spoke up.
"You already have us all sitting in front of you, what more 'interest' do you want?" Arion questioned in a rough tone.
He wasn't good with all these games, since he was curious, he had to know.
"…"
Orpheus turned silent for a while.
Arion wasn't wrong, Yrniel's leaders were sitting right in front of him.
Then, Orpheus momentarily glanced at Caine and,
'Won't it be more fun if I spark some heat here? The Ceremonial Union Clash can't be utterly boring either…
I need some clowns to make it more interesting.'
With a slight smile on his face, Orpheus revealed,
"Ambrosia is training the Groom, on her own accord, of course."
"…what?"
This time, let alone everyone else, even Alaric was surprised. Her sister… she was actually willing to train someone on her own accord...?
Alaric had met Nux before, that was interesting, he admits, but… for Ambrosia to personally step forward…
"Heh, is that why said we shouldn't challenge the Groom?" Ignatia questioned with a slight smile on her face.
Orpheus smiled back and didn't answer.I think you should take a look at nov????????????????????\????/o/????
"Well, I still won't be stopping anyone from challenging him. That would ruin the point of the Event, won't it?" Ignatia muttered.
"I just gave a heads up so that you guys won't complain about me not warning you," Orpheus replied as he side-
eyed Caine.
Caine clenched his fists.
He could tell it, Orpheus was intentionally provoking him.
'Alright, Orpheus, I wasn't the one who asked for this.'
"Heh, I guess we have something to look forward to," Arcturus spoke with a curious smile on his face.
"When was the Event starting again?" Pyrax questioned.
"Tsk, Demons, can't even read the details." Arion snorted.
"I don't want to hear that from a beast." Pyrax retorted.
"The Event is held tomorrow, guys." Alaric jumped in, stopping another battle.
He wasn't mentally ready to babysit these grown-up kids, especially the kids who were strong enough to destroy everything around them. Therefore, he just stood up and,
"Anyways, I believe you all should rest up, the Event starts tomorrow morning, the servants will be sent who would take you to the stadium. Again, I thank you all for taking out your precious time and attending this marriage, I hope you enjoy your stay here."
Alaric smiled, then, he walked away.
The Five Dukes followed him out.
"I will be taking my leave as well."
And of course, the first one to leave was Lyriana, it was as if she was waiting for Alaric to stand up this whole time.
After Lyriana, other people left as well.
And Arcturus and Ignatia, the dragons who would be staying in this room glanced at each other and,
"You think Gideon would challenge the Groom?" Ignatia questioned with a curious look on her face.
"Well, challenging an Emperor, his pride would not allow him.
What's the point of challenging someone so weak? Even if Saint like Gideon, he won't be a challenge to Gideon.
I am more excited for Vaelon since he had finally become a Saint, I am looking forward to him challenging Alaric's son."
"Didn't he fight against Orpheus's son as well? That fight was quite intense as well. He was forced to go all out, and that was when that boy was weakened under the sun. It would be interesting to see their fight now that there is no sun to help Vaelon."
"Lazarus? He is not a challenge for Vaelon any longer. Lazarus is still a Semi Saint, he can defeat Saints, yes, but that's just normal Saints, our son is different."
"But of course, our Vaelon is anything but normal." Ignatia smiled.
More than the event tomorrow, the two of them were more excited about their son challenging Alaric's son.
The next Vampire King versus the next Dragon Lord.
That was the fight worth looking forward to.
Anyways, the day passed by, and the next day, the servants brought all the Leaders to the Stadium, obviously, special seats were prepared for all the leaders to watch the battle together.
The stadium was fully packed with people, this was the largest stadium with more than 500,000 seats and even after it had so many available seats, it was still filled to the limit.
"People from the Blood Kingdom!
How have you been!? Are you excited for the Ceremonial Union Clash!?"
A beautiful blonde woman stood in the middle of the stadium, her voice echoed throughout the stadium and the audience roared in excitement.
