Dragon Monarch System -
Chapter 245 [Bonus ] 245:- Night Before Wedding
"Watson, I can't answer anything for now. But I promise I will answer your questions one day. If a kingdom or Empire sends their people to ask such questions, tell me that I have inherited this Dragon Palace from an ancient ruin."
Sigh!
"Alright. I am going to head back now. My desk is full of papers that must be thoroughly checked and signed." Hearing Watson's words, Aditya awkwardly smiled and nodded. He felt bad for Watson. The poor guy was supposed to be his butler yet he was forced to work as his prime minister.
"I have to replace a prime minister." Aditya needed to replace a capable person who would be able to take Watson's position and execute Aditya's plans perfectly.
"If you want a prime minister, I know a certain person who you might like. The only reason I didn't hire him is because his obsession with knowledge and books is kind of frightening to me."
"Who are you talking about? Can I meet him?"
Alicia smiled and replied. "Don't worry, you should meet him tomorrow at my brother's wedding. After all, he is one of the nobles of the Ethereal Empire."
"Speaking of your brother's wedding, I think we should head to the Ethereal Empire and meet your parents." Alicia smiled and nodded. In fact, the goddess has been wanting to bring Aditya with her today. This is why despite being very busy Alicia has been waiting for Aditya at the royal palace. Alicia hated waiting for anyone but when it came to Aditya, she did not mind waiting.
"In that case, for tonight I will head back home as well?" Since Aditya was going to the Ethereal Empire, Riya also wanted to go home as she would feel very lonely. Staying here would remind her of Aditya.
"You are not going anywhere. The two of you are coming with me to meet my parents."
"What?" Even Aditya was surprised to hear Alicia's words.
"We are sisters after all. It's only natural for me to bring you two home. What kind of sister I would be if I don't even let the two of you attend my brother's wedding? Besides, I also want to introduce you two to my parents."

Scene change______
"Which dress do you think I should wear tomorrow?" Olivia excitedly asked Bianca who was Alicia's biological mother.
Sigh!
"Mother, you can wear anything you like. Regardless of what you wear, you would look gorgeous in it." No one would think that Olivia already had three grandchildren. With her high cultivation even after hundreds of years, she still retained her beauty. Her charm was enough to make any man fall for her. However, after Olivia's husband died, she shut herself and never went out to the public. She very rarely went to the royal palace.
"By the way, when will Alicia return?" Asked Flora. Flora was the 3rd wife of Ronny and Alicia's second stepmother.
"Alicia said that she was going to return before dinner."
"Speaking of Julia, she has changed a lot, didn't she? Especially in the last few weeks. She now smiles more often. She is also focusing on her cultivation." The goddess of wealth matured very quickly. Instead of wanting to be spoiled by her parents like every child, Julia was more interested in making money. As a result, Julia's family very rarely got the chance of spoiling their daughter.
"According to Noah, whenever she is with Aditya, Alicia shows a completely different side of hers. She sometimes even acts like a spoiled child." Norah's tone was full of jealousy. Norah was Ronny's first wife. She was Noah's mother and Alicia's 1st stepmother.
"I am back." After a long tiring day, Ronny was finally back home.
"Welcome back, son. How was your day?" Olivia asked.
"Compared to regular days today was even more exhausting."
"Ronny, tomorrow I don't want any problem. I hope you have taken care of everything." Olivia did want any problem stopping Noah's wedding.
"Don't worry mom. I have tightened the security around Whitfrost city by 5 times. I have taken the necessary measures to stop any problem from rising."
"Good."
"By the way, where is brother?"
"I have sent Thomas and his wife has gone to meet Noah's bride and give her some pieces of jewelry which I want her to wear tomorrow at the wedding."
Also at the same time, the goddess returned home along with Aditya, Julia, and Riya. "Mom, I am back."
Ronny, Olivia, Bianca, Norah, and Flora, all of their attention fell on Julia and Riya. Looking at Alicia's face, Olivia and Bianca understood that their daughter wanted to have a serious discussion with them.
"Everyone I want you to meet, Julia and Riya. Julia is the daughter of Duke Adam. She is also known as the Goddess of Alchemy." Everyone widened their eyes in shock. Alicia never told anyone from her family that she knew who the goddess of alchemy and the goddess of nature was.
"Who is she?" Olivia felt the identity of this elf wouldn't be so simple.
Alicia took a deep breath and replied. "She is the Princess of The Celestial Terrain Empire. Riya is the goddess of nature."
"It's very nice to meet you all." Riya and Julia bowed their heads to show their respect for the elders.
Meanwhile, Ronny was looking at Aditya. When Ronny sends his spies to do a background search on Aditya, all he found was that king Ahmed had adopted a young man. No one knows who is Aditya's real parents. Even when Aditya introduced himself, he never told them his family name. At that time, Ronny did not pay enough to these details but now that his daughter has brought two goddesses home, Ronny felt all the dots connecting and taking a shape.
From his spies, Ronny knew what kind of man Aditya was. "You're Bainnith, aren't you?" The look on Aditya's face instantly changed upon hearing Ronny's words. The plan was to keep Aditya's background a secret and tell Alicia's family about Julia, and Riya. But it seems Ronny has managed to figure out Aditya's secret.
Other family members also looked quite shocked by this revelation. "Aditya is this true?" At that time, Aditya's father forced Ronny and Olivia to agree. Bainnith indirectly went out to threaten the entire Ethereal Empire if Ronny dared to reject his proposal. Ronny and Olivia had no choice but to agree. In fact, they were very happy when they found out that Aditya has been removed from the royal family. This meant that their daughter was finally free.
"Yes, my family name used to be Bainnith. But I don't have the right to use my family name anymore." Everyone sensed the bitterness at the latter part of his words.
"Grandma, do you hate me now?"
"No, I don't hate you. You have changed. You have become a better man. By Alicia loves you. You have our blessings." If it was the Olivia of the past, then she would have kicked Aditya out of her house. After interacting with Aditya, Olivia knows what kind of man the current Bainnith is. Although Olivia still hates Aditya's father, she wasn't going to direct her hatred toward Aditya who has done nothing wrong here.
"Thank you, grandma."
Things went better than Alicia had expected. At the dinner, the entire family laughed seeing Alicia's red face. The poor goddess got to learn that her family knew that she and Aditya were pretending to be a couple. At the end of the day, no one in the family questioned Aditya. In this world, it was very common for an Empire or a King to have multiple wives. In fact, Julia and Riya were given the same treatment as Alicia.
After dinner, while Aditya and the other males were sitting in the garden, all the girls began to spend hours deciding what they are going to wear tomorrow.
"This wine is very good. You should try it." Right now Aditya was sitting with Noah, Ronny, and Thomas. All of them were drinking only except for Aditya who was eating potato chips.
"No, thank you. I am good." Knowing that he had an addiction to alcohol in the past, Aditya has always stayed away from alcohol. The only times he would consume alcohol would be when he ate with a guest. At the same, a glass of red wine would be enough for him.
After drinking a whole bottle of wine, Ronny looked at Aditya and said in a rough tone. "Brat, you better take care of my daughter. Otherwise, I will beat the living hell out of you." Aditya only smiled in response.
"Little brother, I envy your luck. Even though you're not even 20 years old, you already have 3 women. I wish I could have multiple wives as well." It's not that Noah didn't want to have a second wife it's just that he was having a hard time taking care of one woman.
"Don't worry, Noah. In the future, I am sure you will have more women." Even if Ronny didn't want to marry, grandma would force him into marrying more women. The old lady looked obsessed over increasing her family members. Aditya even heard her saying something about having the dream of holding a great-grandchild.
"Uncle Thomas, what about you? Do you have another wife?" Aditya asked with a smile.
Thomas nervously glanced at the house before turning his head toward Aditya. "Brat, do you want me to die? If I even talk about having a second marriage, my wife is going to kill me." Thomas looked frightened. His entire body even slightly shivered.
"Hahaha! This little brother of mine is scared of his wife." Thomas loved and respected his wife. He was perfectly satisfied with one wife. One of the majority factors that determined whether a male is going to have multiple spouses depended on the males' limbo.
"Say brat, since you already have captured three goddesses including my own sweet daughter's heart, are you possibly planning on going after the other four?" Aditya realized that when Ronny is drunk he would become a different man. The Ronny sitting next to Aditya was a warrior who didn't care about his social image. He spoke whatever came to his mind.
Crunch!
Aditya put a potato chip in his mouth and looked at the sky. "Who knows? I don't even know where are they?" Aditya had no idea where the goddess of wisdom and the goddess of lust were. As for the goddess of music, he heard that she had set out on a journey.
"No one really knows where the goddess of lust and the goddess of wisdom is? Around 2 decades ago, the goddess of wisdom completely disappeared. Since then no one really knows where she is."
"I am kind of interested in meeting the goddess of war. I have been hearing that she is one of the greatest cultivators to ever exist in this world. She is also said to be the strongest and most talented cultivator of this age." Aditya wanted to meet the goddess of war not because he wanted to pursue her. Because he was interested in her strength.
"Brat, let me tell you this, the world is a very big place. There are many things that exist beyond the seven continents." Aditya felt Ronny was trying to hint at him something with his words. Before he can ask what he meant, the Emperor changed the subject.
"Brat, if you ever need the assistance of the Ethereal empire, don't hesitate to ask for it. The Ethereal Empire will always stand with you." Ronny knew that in the near future Aditya was going to be questioned for his action. At that time, he would need political powers and the support of many.
