Chapter 457 Getting Engaged Again Part 2
"Ahenm…." The king walked up behind and knocked on the head, causing to turn and glare at him. But he ignored completely. "Now then. As you can see, my soon to be daughter in law has a bit of an overprotective syndro when it cos to her loved ones, which allows to feel reassured that my daughter will be in good hands.
"As you all know, it might look strange for so many girls to be up on this stage, but this is how it is. These three girls and my daughter will all be marrying Fatih Cyrilia. And because of this, from this day forth, Faith Cyrilia will be known as Princess Cyrilia, and he father, who is in charge of Cyrilia village, will beco known as Duke Cyrilia." The king's words were still burning in my ear, making want to kick him!
"Oi! Old man! We never discussed this!" I yelled out. I couldn't hold my anger in.
"Princess Cyrilia, we are in public. Please speak respectfully." The king replied to through gritted teeth.
"If you want respect, then stop doing sneaky things! I never wanted a royal title! Neither did my father! If you give him one, my father will rage! Plus, don't you have a fude with him!?" I kindly reminded him that my mother was stolen from him by my father.
Sure enough, the king's expression turned sour. He glared at and snorted. "Hah! This is what I want! The more he is pissed off, the better!"
"What are you, a little kid!?" I yelled back.
We had completely forgotten that we were in public. As we argued back and forth, I could feel the eyes of the citizens staring at us, causing to finally look over to look at their shocked expressions. "Ahem…." I cleared my throat. "Anyway…!"
The king was about to continue when I elbowed him in the side, causing him to glare at . Adel and Sophie were giggling away, while Atolie and Grace were as quiet as always. Adel just found it funny, but Sophie was used to such scenes. In fact, it brought back a bit of nostalgia. The king and I would always argue like this in the previous tiline. So things just never change.
Adel finally stepped forward after finishing her giggling fit and said: "As you can see, we are quite close in all aspects. I love Faith. I love Sophie, Atolie, and Grace as well. We already have a very close bond with one another. We are already a family. So I hope everyone of this kingdom can give us your blessing and watch over us as we grow together as a family. Our wedding will be held in two years' ti. We will hold it in the lower city and will allow everyone to co to attend. I do not care if you are poor or rich. All are welco.
"Because I believe in this world all of us are equal, even if so of us are having harder tis than others. And to celebrate this day, my father will be helping the poor communities of the lower city to establish new housing and work."
So this was why Adel asked so many questions about what she could do for the people. I had only suggested the things I did in the past tilines since it worked well. Now, the king was the one who would be implenting it! I hope it will go smoothly.
"So once more, I hope you will give us your blessing." Adel bowed to the ground, and so did the rest of us. Even the king himself bowed to the people, which startled many. But this was also what made a good king. He knew when to bow his head to the people and when to keep it raised up. This was what allowed a king to feel less distant to his people.
With that all situated, A maid with a tray that held four boxes on it was brought over. It was ti for to formally propose, but to think Adel even rembered to get rings, and four at that! It was as if she knew Atolie and Grace would be joining.
I sighed and took the first box and looked into Adel's eyes, which were smiling back and . "Adel, in this life and all my lives, no matter what happens, I will find you and make you my wife over and over again."
"Mmm!" Adel bead an even more beautiful smile at as I stuck the ring on her finger.
Adel stepped back and let Sophie step forward. I reached up and scratched her ears, causing her to close her eyes. "Sophie. You have always been there. And I can not see my life without you in it. So I hope I can make you happy this ti around as well."
"Hehe. I know you will!" Sophie smiled and held out her hand. I once again slipped a finger onto her finger. She looked at it and then hugged tightly. I smiled and hugged her back.
Grace was next, and she looked pretty nervous. I looked at her with a lot of emotion. From what I know, Grace has been by my side in all my lives. Helping through my darkest tis. "Grace, sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's fine. I am just glad you finally realized my feelings." Grace's normally stoic expression finally blood into a smile. It was enough to cause everyone who saw it to be stunned. She truly looked beautiful when she smiled.
After giving Grace her ring, Atolie was last. She looked down at as I looked up at her. "Atolie, I do not know what I have done to deserve you. You have always done so much for . I am unfortunately unable to rember in those tis lines when we were together, but I plan to make new mories with you that will stick around for all eternity."
