The Only Aura User In Magic World -
Chapter 126 - Wedding Night
The parade is over and now we're at Ruby and Ian's wedding. We had a wedding in the palace with only limited number of people. Only trusted people can participate.
The maids and servant who weren't able to gain Albert's trust but still worked there, were told to take a day off again. Just this last few days and they have gotten vacation several times.
The first was during the twin's birth. Then the audition day. And then today. They must be really happy to work here.
Although Albert invited the winners of the audition, only some of them attended. Those who didn't attend were doing a job Albert given like taking care of the aftermath of Berthold's arrest.
Albert said he also want to invite Berthold and his son since they are living in the palace at the moment, but Lowe rejected that idea. Albert hasn't interrogate Berthold yet so none of us know if he can be trusted or not.
"Can't believe that Ian really got himself a wife." Albert approached me and said it.
"Can't believe you can't believe Ian is marrying."
"Can't believe that you can't believe that I can't believe Ian is marrying."
"Can't believe that you can't believe that--"
"Enough, you two! If you keep continuing, neither of you will stop!"
As we can't believe each other, Sonia intervened.
"Can't believe you stop us." I said.
"Can't believe you can't believe that she stop us." Albert followed along.
"Can't believe that--"
As we were about to continue can't believing each other, this time, it was Marie who stop us.
"Are you two having fun? Please don't act stupid in front of the children."
""We're sorry!"" Both Albert and I apologized together.
"Oh no! I just heard from Sonia that the king had been corrupted by Roy. I never thought it would be this bad." Angela said.
"It's good that Roy made another friend." Sophie just glad that Albert and I are getting along.
"Please note that any men who get along with him are not normal. From Hill, Kron, then even the king himself, are not normal." Kayla calmly said.
IN this wedding, everyone from my group already decided to be casual when interacting with Albert. Although at first they were nervous, when they see how close Albert is with me, they just treat him casually. As for the audition winners, they don't dare to talk to Albert casually.
"Albert. This is Kayla, the one who looked smart. Then the one who looked kind is Sophie. And you already know about Candy. Those three are my girlfriends."
"Nice to meet you all. I'm kind of the king of this country and this is my wife, Marie. And that girl over there is my sister, Shirley."
The first people I introduced to Albert are my girlfriends. Then Albert also introduced his family.
Marie is carrying her daughter, Lana, who she might not meet again in a long time, and Shirley is carrying Alan.
"Shirley, they are around your age so you can get along with them well. I'll take care of Alan."
"Okay."
Albert then grabbed Alan from Shirley and let Shirley have a chat with the girls. Seems like Shirley doesn't have many friends around her age.
"I haven't introduced everyone yet. This one whom always look for a fault in me is Angela. That boy over there is Daniel whom I picked up on the street. He's playing with Hannah and her mother, Penny. The one who wears a maid outfit into the wedding is my maid, Lina. And the one who keep drinking is Sam. She's Ruby's daughter." I introduced the rest of my group to Albert. As for Ruby, she's the main star today and I won't need to introduce her again. Victoria and Sonia are both people Albert already know. Well, not really people.
"I see. So Ian is a stepfather now."
"Yeah. That's exactly why she's drinking."
I told Albert about how shocked she was when Ian suddenly proposed to Ruby just after meeting and how Ruby just accepted it. Although Sam is an adult now, she complained when her mother choose to remarry. Seems like Sam is such a mommy girl.
"She's the one who trade with you regarding the treasures you found under the sea, right? I'll try to contact her about business later. When she's sober."
"You're interested in the treasures?" I asked Albert.
"Yes. In fact one of the people from the audition used to be a spy who worked at a merchant company. He's a licensed appraiser. I thought that you might want to have him around."
"Sure. You can talk to Sam about it. But I guess you send him to us is because you want more people to be able to stay in contact with me. Just do whatever you want."
"That's in the list. Don't worry, I won't put too many people around you. Only those I thought may be benefit you."
Well, he's right that having an appraiser is benefiting me. This way, Sam won't have to look for another appraiser and pay them. She can just ask this appraiser who works for her with a set salary. However much she paid him is something she need to discuss. Well, I guess I should stop her from drinking.
I called Lina to make Sam stop drinking. I think if she focus on her work, she will forget about her mother's remarriage soon.
After introducing everyone to Albert, the girls are getting along quickly with Marie and Shirley. Considering they are the same age, it must be wonderful for Marie and Shirley to make new friends.
They soon also grabbed Alan again from Albert and talked about many things and asked about Penny, Ruby, and Sonia's experience of raising a child.
Other than Candy who still seem reserved around the king, the others are already making themselves comfortable. I just hope that Victoria won't spread her hobbies to everyone.
Then the ceremony began, the vow was spoken, and the groom kissed the bride. Everyone is in joyful mood to celebrate the new old couple. Other than Sam who is still sulking.
But once Albert introduce her to an appraiser who will work for her, she returned to normal.
After the ceremony, we just chatted all night. Since it might be a long time until Lana can meet her parent and brother again, no one thought of separating her from her mother even after Lana fell asleep.
"Roy, you'll return tomorrow?" Albert asked me all of a sudden.
"Yeah. I told you that before, right?"
"Well, we discussed few things and--"
"Before you continue, I have to say something. Again?!"
When he said that they discussed something, it ended up with me doing something. Is this something I can refuse? Or is this something related to the girls in my group and unable to refuse? I think it's the latter.
"Yes. Again. This time it's about Shirley. When the news of my heir born was spread, some nobles think that Shirley's position is now to be used as political tool and to be married off to someone."
"Yeah yeah yeah. Now you want me to take care of her as well." Hearing it's about Shirley, I looked at her and see that Shirley is getting along with Kayla and the other. That means even if I refuse, they will accept the request and nothing I can do about it. Is it my fate to be pushed around?
"I will tell everyone that Shirley has no interest in being used as political tool so she leave and choose to live as a Hunter. That's why I want you and your friend to build a clan with her. As for the budget, I think you can take care of that."
"Building a clan?! You're gonna use us to do some request that can't be handled by your men, right? What do I get from doing it?"
There's no way that I will do everything he said for free.
"I'll think for a way to get you Introductory School Degree. You want it so you can enter a medical school, right? I'll also help your friends to get them as well. Maybe I will include Sophie and Victoria."
Sophie and Victoria as well? That's an interesting offer. I don't really care much anymore about getting my doctor license, but I want the girls to replace something they want to do other than just fighting. Maybe they also want to be a doctor? Or even entering magic college to learn how to get stronger.
"Then I'll do it. I just need to build a clan, right?" I agree to Albert's idea.
"Yeah. You can discuss with your friends later. But since I want Shirley to leave politic, I suggest that the leader of your clan won't be her."
"That I can do. But if you ever want to submit a request, I won't accept anything cheap. Even if the reward is not money, it must be something expensive or useful."
"I'll leave Shirley and Lana to you. But in case Shirley ever become your girlfriend, you have to call me dearest elder brother."
"You think she will like someone like me? And I will never call you that."
"Three girls already confessed to you. Who knows if Shirley will feel the same as well?"
After chatting with Albert for a while, I asked everyone about building a clan. I know that I have said it before when I asked them to move to Cassau, but that plan seems to be forgotten since many girls of Red Tail choose to leave on their own and we never talked about it again.
When I asked everyone, of course all of them already know Albert's plan to have us build a clan. I'm always the last one to hear the news.
I realized once again that I hate Albert.
