At Lucian's domineering and direct declaration, Kyuusyou was the first to raise her hand in excitent, her eyes shining brightly.
"We shall swear our lives in loyalty to the Savior of Light! Bound as one forever! Sharing eternity!"
"Yeah, yeah!" Kiana exclaid, nodding and hopping happily. "Master is the best! I'm Master's wife too now!"
"Lucian..."
i muttered Lucian's na gently, tears welling in her eyes, yet the gentlest, happiest smile curved her lips.
"It's a bit cheesy... but I like it..."
Sirin, with her arms folded across her chest, remarked softly, her face flushed a rare crimson.
"Boss, you'll have to be 'fair with everyone' from now on~"
Himiko spoke teasingly with a light chuckle, her tone carrying a hint of hidden aning.
"Mm... finally done..."
Wendy spoke with a yawn, looking as tired as ever.
Ana, Theresa, and Azta all flushed red as well, far too excited to speak.
"Boss! Congrats on the wedding! Wanna ga together tonight?"
Senti spoke casually, wearing a big smile, looking as if this were not her wedding.
Bianka, Xuanyuan, and Sakura said nothing, but all wore smiles that ca straight from the heart.
Lucian smiled, looking at each one of them in turn, then spoke.
"Then, my beautiful brides, are you willing to marry ?"
""We are willing!""
In response to Lucian's question, thirteen clear and resolute voices rang out at once, rging into the most beautiful lody.
"Hahh, good..." Lucian sighed in relief, then opened his arms wide. "Alright, co, my brides! It's ti to seal it!"
As soon as his words fell—
*Whoosh!*
No longer caring about restraint, the thirteen brides, like fledglings returning to the nest, carrying fragrance and laughter, rushed toward Lucian at the center.
i was the first to throw herself into his embrace, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist.
Kiana hugged his arm from the left, happily rubbing her cheek against him.
Xuanyuan grinned as she claid the spot on his right.
Kyuusyou hugged him from behind.
Sirin maintained her aloof air, yet still reached out to link arms with Lucian.
Wendy lazily leaned against his shoulder.
Ana, Theresa, and Azta squeezed together, hugging his arm.
Himiko and Sakura approached gracefully, lightly resting their hands on him.
Senti mischievously jumped onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck like a koala.
Below them, the enormous golden dragon let out a joyful roar, and energy petals filled the sky like golden waves, falling from above and gently wrapping around the fourteen locked in an embrace.
Petals landed on the pristine white wedding dresses, on the groom's shoulders, and in everyone's hair, while sunlight pierced through the gaps between the petals, scattering dreamlike specks of light.
At this mont, the entire platform beca the very center of a vortex of happiness.
Lucian, surrounded by thirteen soft, warm figures, his ears filled with their joyful laughter and light cries, held i tighter in his arms as he felt that one-of-a-kind weight and happiness.
""Congratulations to Lord Lucian and his thirteen brides. May you stay together forever!""
As the golden sunlight surged forth and engulfed everyone present, all the wedding attendees joined together to congratulate Lucian and the thirteen won on their union.
In the end, all that remained were laughter and petals dancing through the radiant sunlight, sparkling brilliantly as they marked the grand wedding's conclusion in perfect fulfillnt.
[DING! Congratulations on completing the script!]
[In one month, the script will close, and the host will leave the current world.]
As the wedding ceremony concluded, the System's voice that Lucian had been waiting for all this ti finally resounded in his mind.
'It really was missing a wedding...'
Lucian thought with a smile, feeling relieved that the script was finally complete.
All other conditions had already been t, so the final condition to complete the script had clearly been the wedding. However, this ti, he surprisingly got a full month of deadline, which was clearly the longest amount of ti the System had ever given him compared to the previous ones.
Thanks to that, the schedule before leaving the script was fairly relaxed this ti, since there was no imdiate or forced exit.
If he had only gotten one second, it would have been far too awkward and probably would have instantly beco a trending topic, sothing like: #Groom_Disappears_At_Izumo_Wedding.
Unlike his flash wedding with Fu Xuan, this ti his wedding was celebrated by the entire planet of Izumo, and the banquet lasted for three days and three nights, with countless congratulatory gifts received from various foreign civilizations.

In the dressing room, the thirteen brides, still in their wedding dresses, were reluctant to take them off.
i stood before a tall mirror, staring at her own reflection in it for a very long ti.
Truth be told, she had never imagined that one day she would be this happy, having a wedding and a husband.
Thinking back to the past, Izumo had always been suffering under the invasion of the kami from Takamagahara, with constant war, separation, and death—even these sisters beside her could have fallen at any mont.
Living in that kind of situation, a day like today would never have crossed her mind.
How could it compare to now, when every guardian of Izumo was wearing a wedding dress, each one becoming the most beautiful bride for a day, laughing with each other, all having the sa husband?
"Senti! Don't lift your skirt, that's indecent!"
"But it's dragging on the floor! I can't walk like this!"
"Kyuusyou, why are you hiding a blade inside your wedding dress?"
"Crap! I forgot to draw my blade for the oath earlier! Let's redo the wedding!"
"Are you nuts?! Just hold your own wedding, then!"
i looked around at the twelve sisters she would be living with from now on and could not help but cover her mouth as she giggled softly.
===
Half a month later, the aftereffects of the wedding had finally settled, and life in Izumo gradually returned to normal.
In the afternoon, Lucian, having finally found the perfect ti, gathered all his wives in the living room to tell them sothing important.
"At the end of the month, I'll be leaving for a while to buy you gifts—uhh, I an, to take care of sothing, so I won't be back for a bit."
Lucian pretended to let sothing slip, and sure enough, Senti imdiately caught it.
"Gifts! Were you about to say 'gifts'? You slipped up, didn't you!"
"Senti, it's a surprise," Sakura said gently, covering her smiling mouth with one hand. "You're supposed to pretend you don't know…"
"Huh? Is that so?" Senti asked with a frown, scratching the back of her head. "But I already know, so I won't pretend! I want gifts!"
In the next mont, she quickly hugged Lucian's arm, as naturally as could be, without the slightest bit of shyness, and demanded her gifts.
"Master, I want gifts too!"
Kiana followed along, grinning as she hugged Lucian's other arm.
"Okay, okay, everyone gets sothing, alright?" Lucian said with a helpless smile. "But they're rare, so I'll need ti to get them. I might not even be back this year. Y'know, good things always take ti, after all."
"In that case..." i chid in with a gentle smile. "We'll all behave and wait for you at ho, and help you look after Izumo."
Hearing this, Lucian felt relieved, since this was exactly the effect he wanted—at least before this script world closed, his wives would not worry about parting with him.
He had even written letters in advance and hidden them under the bed, just in case this excuse of 'getting gifts' didn't work, so if he suddenly disappeared, they could still feel at ease.
===
Days passed one by one, and the one-month deadline given by the System finally arrived.
On the day before his departure, Lucian had his thirteen wives cancel all their schedules to stay ho, making love from morning until evening, and then from evening all the way until the dawn of the next day.
Lucian could use Absolute Hit to control where his sperm went, ensuring that none of his wives would beco pregnant, so he wasn't worried even if he ca repeatedly inside them.
In the end, only after i, who had held out the longest, finally passed out, did Lucian leave the house with satisfaction and ease.
Just as Lucian stepped onto the doorstep, his figure vanished without a trace.
A while later, when the thirteen won gradually woke up, they realized Lucian was already gone—even after searching the entire city, there was no trace of him.
"Is the boss gone already? Seriously... just pulling up his pants and leaving like that...?"
In the living room, as the thirteen gathered to report their findings about Lucian, Xuanyuan complained with a pout.
"Dammit..." Senti said in annoyance, scratching the back of her head while frowning. "How did I even pass out?"
"Terrifying..." Kyuushou said with a slightly pale face. "Good thing there are so many of us—one person alone would've died handling him. I still rember how Theresa's belly was slightly bloated when he ca inside her."
Hearing this, Theresa imdiately covered her face in embarrassnt.
"Well, Theresa's body is so small—what do you expect?" Sakura said with an alluring smile. "Besides, before going on a long trip, it's normal for a husband to make love with his wife before departure, right? Thanks to the blessing of Abundance, he can handle not just one, but thirteen of us at once."
"You two, can you please stop talking about that kind of stuff?" Bianka said grumpily while massaging her temple. "Please have so decency. It's embarrassing..."
"I may have passed out, but I'm still not convinced!" Himiko said confidently, her hands on her hips. "When he cos back, I'll drain him dry by myself!"
"Impossible... He's too scary..." Theresa muttered while touching her lower belly. "Next ti, I'm lining up last."
"Ahh..." Wendy chid in listlessly, looking tired. "I never want to be first again..."
Just like that, they shared their complaints, lanting how overwhelmingly strong Lucian was in bed, and how completely he had crushed them, leaving them with no chance at all to counterattack.
"Before he cos back, let's hurry up and get stronger!" Azta exclaid firmly, her face serious. "Next ti, I definitely won't pass out!"
"! !" Kiana exclaid, raising her hand excitedly. "I wanna be first next!"
"Get stronger? Impossible..." Ana said without much confidence. "Lucian's too strong—re mortals like us can't handle him..."
i, who had held out the longest, did not dare join their discussion simply because, before she lost consciousness, she had noticed that Lucian showed no sign of exhaustion at all, still looking exactly the sa as when they had just begun their 'bed battle.'
Given that, next ti—and the ti after that—they would most likely still be rcilessly crushed by him.
"Lucian, the life we have now... that's the best gift you've given us..."
i sat by the sofa, gazing at the distant blue sky through the window and murmuring softly with a gentle smile.
