Chapter 1236 - The Big Day

3 days left... 2... 1... COUNTDOWN:...0 days left.

Boom!.

The 2-week wedding commenced!

And today was the day when Princess Lucy and his majesty Landon would get married Traditionally.

Yup.

This was the Traditional Baymardian wedding, with a little twist to it.

Before Baymard had merged into Arcadina ages ago, they had a particular way of getting married that had been abandoned for centuries and millennium after being forced to follow the practices of Arcadina as a whole.

But when Landon took over, he reorganized all the stone tablets alongside the historians and even collected all selected writings made with blood and written on ancient clothing.

The items were so old that just touching them seemed to tear the very fabric they were made of.

But, the former City lord's estate used to be the ancient Baymardian palace. And thanks to that, they did find so many old items hidden in several trapped doors.

And with everything they gathered, they were able to piece out just how their ancestors did their weddings.

This was Baymard's way and not Arcadina's general way of performing weddings.

Thus, it was always new, exciting, and a unique experience for many to watch.

Of course, maybe some regions close to the ancient Baymard at that time, also had these traditions. 

But it's undeniable that they didn't stand the test of time.

.

As many know, to the victor of war comes the spoils.

So if the ancient Arcadinians who united the entire Arcadina had chosen to strip down their ways, then it would be so.

The victor determined everything, even how they lived. And that for centuries and centuries, people had long forgotten the olden times... Only remembering the general Arcadinian ways they've followed all this time.

And even the people back then had long died for generations now.

So who was going to remember the old ways in these dangerous times?

Majority of the people were more focused on survival and food.

Ensure the people both, and they wouldn't mind dancing on the street nȧkėd if one wanted them to.

And that's why when they dug up Baymard's last history, everything wasn't well looked after, with cobwebs and so many crawl things moving on them.

Landon used the system to find these items that were buried and hidden away because at the time, the old ways were banished after Baymard became part of Arcadina.

You know... All those things probably reminded the victor of the old ways, making that person feel like the Baymardians might keep hope in their hearts or one day become rebellious.

So... It was probably a crime back then to keep mentioning the old Baymard.

The person wouldn't want to keep listening to their significant other talk and talk about their ex.

Jealousy, anger, fear of rebellion/cheating, and so many negative emotions would get stirred up 

So just in that regard, it was probably taboo to mention anything about the old Baynard after they became part of Arcadina.

And to monarchs, any whispers of rebellion were already a massive sin punishable by death.

That is... They didn't even need to see you doing it. Just hearing about it could make them choke one to death.

So imagine how the ancient Baymardians lived?

Well, long story short, Landon restored the tradition.

But here's something he realized.

It was very similar to his own tradition back on earth.

Now, he was ready for the traditional wedding!

.

The warm summer breeze slowly blew into the massive window, gently ċȧrėssing the sleeping man nestled under his sheets.

The outside, which should've been very quiet at this time of the morning, was already rowdy with countless hushed voices and footsteps from right below.

Oops. The people moving about didn't want to wake up the sleeping beauty from his rest. 

So they tried their best to do things in a hushed manner.

"Quickly... We have to move this over there."

"Yes. The candle holders over there. Hello? Am I talking to the air or something? Move them to the left... No... The right... Good! Good job!"

The people below continuously ran up all over the place, doing their very best to meet up with whatever schedule they had to meet.

But no matter how they moved, the sleeping beauty on the bed didn't seem to be awake from their 'hushed' actions.

But even if they didn't wake the person up, it looked like nature wouldn't let him be!

~Qwi. Qwi. Qwi. Qwi. Qwi~~

The early morning birds whistled loudly, as if saying: Wake up, Motherf**er!

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Dammit!

Landon frowned while strangling himself with his pillow.

He looked at the birds that flew in and couldn't help inwardly cursing them.

F***! Do you think this is Cinderella or something?

What?... Were they going to start pushing him to shower or pulling him out of bed?

"Alright! Alright! I'm up!" He said while pushing his covers away in an aggrieved manner.

But unlike Cinderella, where those birds could take a hint, these still circled his room while singing loudly.

~Qwi. Qwi. Qwi. Qwi. Qwi~~

Bam!

'_'...

Well, it looked like they were trapped and wanted to find a way out... Which was also quite stupid.

Can't they just fly back the way they came?

Tsk! Blame him for leaving one of his massive windows open throughout the night.

You know, he was situated in his Wing within the main Building.

And once one entered his wing, they would first walk through a long stretched corridor with glass windows that gave a magnificent towering castle-view of the entire front palace too.

It was like a bridge that had a see-through cover placed around it.

Beautiful.

He was truly high up there, as this building was indeed the tallest in the palace.

And this corridor led him to his private hall. From there, he could ascend the stairs or wall straight to the other rooms on his floor.

In short, the entire place was like a 3 floor home for himself, his future children and whatnot.

Until they came of age and left the wing, they would stay with him.

Well, the privacy here was not a joke. It was perfect for any newly wedded couple.

But at the same time, if there was an emergency, they could just press the emergency buŧŧons around the massive place, and the rest would be history.

Not to mention the fact that there was a secret escape route, as well as a secret room to hide in just in case of emergencies.

Landon woke up, stretched for a bit before sitting on his bed again, feeling a little emotional to say the least.

Whether it was his past life or the present, this was his first time getting married.

So how could he not have buŧŧerflies in his tummy?

Gruuu~
