In the Spartan republic, precisely in Delhi city, though most of the people in the city could not feel it, the aura of celebration was already circulating everywhere for a certain group of people.
In the Python military division headquarters, Leo drove his car through the gates, steering it directly to the location of his Captains apartnt.
Unlike usual when he reported for duty, he was dressed in a formal sky-blue suit instead of his military uniform. And beside him on the passenger seat sat soone else, his wife.
Kate was unusually gorgeous today. She was dressed in a long pink gown that was embedded with decorative diamonds, she looked just like a princess to the man sitting beside her.
Although he was driving, Benny could not help himself from stealing glances at her before smiling contentedly. He was living his dream already.
After so long of waiting and persevering tenaciously, he finally completed the deed. He was now married to Kate Bauer, all that was needed to make it official was a celebration party.
A few days ago, he visited his ho city again to finalize the marriage rites. Though this was an incredibly advanced era compared to the 21st century, most of the customs were still intact.
Since Kates ho was already ravaged by family rivals, the marriage could not take place in her country. Everything was scheduled to be done in the Spartan republic.
Even though Leos ho city was a den of criminals, at his current level, those were just trivial matters.
After asking around, he was able to find so of his relatives that were still in the city. Through them, he finally got the marriage rites ceremony with his wife done according to the customs.
That ant that he was now a married man. He was no longer just Leonard Bane; he and his wife were now Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Bane. What a wonderful feeling that was.
He already got the consent of his military superior before the family rites marriage, his motive of coming back was to thank him for the support with his wife accompanying him.
Captain Daniel has been his superior for so many years already.
Though the man was sotis ill-tempered, he never treated any of his subordinates harshly. This was sothing that Leo was especially grateful for as so superiors were vastly different.
This was one of the main reasons why he never thought of leaving the Python military division. With such a nice superior, there was no better place, excluding the Spartan army headquarters.
It did not take him long again as his Captains apartnt slowly started entering his sight.
As it was an apartnt building in the military division base, it was much smaller than typical mansions that were owned by high-grade soldiers. Despite this, it was still pleasing to the eye.
He expertly maneuvered the car as it slowed to a stop at the parking lot of the apartnt. After switching off the ignition of the car, he exhaled while surveying the familiar surroundings.
It was 4 years now since he beca a soldier serving in the Python military division. He already had lots of beautiful mories here, he would find it hard if he ever had to face the decision of leaving.
Well, that was not the main reason why he ca today.
As he opened the cars door to co down, he suddenly felt a soft pair of palms rest on his hands. He turned his face to look at his wife.
Honey, I dont know, I feel a little anxious. I think I once heard from Clark that Captain Daniel is very harsh. Kate blushed a bit as her husband turned to look at her, but she still said her mind.
Listening to what she just said, Leo sighed. I told you already, Clark loves exaggerating matters. Thats his nature, dont be too believing of everything that he says.
He paused a bit before trying to tone down his voice to its softest possible volu. Honey, do you trust ?
Yeah. Kate nodded cutely.
Then believe and forget what Clark said. He placed his palm on her chubby cheeks and lightly caressed them. Believe , ok?
Ok, I believe you. Lets go. Kate smiled.
Ok, thats good. But wait, dont open the door by yourself. Leo quickly ca down and went to her side before gently opening the door for his queen.
Kate smiled brightly before bringing her gorgeous legs down. She held her husbands outstretched hand before following him forward.
As Leo tightened his grip on her hands, she suddenly felt like all the worries in her heart were fluttering away like the early birds. She felt tranquility fill her heart, she felt contented, this was her husband.
The couples luxurious shoes made soft clinking sounds as one of the soldiers in the apartnt led them to the large sitting room.
As soon as they entered the sitting room, the first thing that presented itself to Leo was his Captains poker face. He almost gulped on the sight but he quickly emboldened himself by the knowledge that his wife was beside him.
Surprisingly, after laying her eyes on the dreaded Captain Daniel, Kate coped far better than her husband.
She no longer felt tense and anxious, her moves and gestures beca more natural as she beca the main initiator of the conversation. Leo was stunned by his wifes adaptability.
Good morning captain. Kate greeted respectfully with a slight feminine duck and dip of her shoulders accompanying it.
Good morning captain. Leo saluted respectfully.
Hearing this, the captains poker face finally shattered as it broke into a pleasant smile. The room suddenly seed brighter to the couple on seeing this, nothing was more reassuring than a smile.
Kate, youre the little girl in the dical departnt, right? He turned to the wife and asked good-naturedly.
Yes, sir.
He turned to give a aningful eye at his subordinate. Leo, youve really grown up. Getting such a nice wife is an achievent in itself, congratulations on your find.
Leo smiled awkwardly. Thank you, Captain.
Please have a seat, I dont want the new couples in town to exhaust their leg strength. The captain said in a joking tone, prompting the couples to laugh which further livened the atmosphere.
As they sat down, Leo had a baffling thought on his head. He didnt know if it was him, but he felt like his Captain suddenly seed much nicer today than before.
Is it because I ca with my wife? He was puzzled.
After sitting down, they kept quiet as Captain Daniel dictated the direction of their conversation. They only comnted when necessary and answered when asked.
10 minutes later, the atmosphere was already pleasantly harmonious. The captain finally threw out the ultimate question. Ok, Leo, what brought you here today?
A strange silence suddenly ca into the room, but Leo quickly salvaged the situation and spoke out.
Before I answer, I want to first thank you for the hospitality. I really appreciate it, sir. Leo spoke much faster than he usually did, the harmonious atmosphere already made him forget all his misgivings about his Captain.
The captain just smiled in reply. Leo stood up before continuing, his wife also stood up with him.
My main reason for coming with my wife today aligns with what I just said. I ca today to appreciate you, sir, not just for the hospitality, but for everything since I ca to this military division.
I know that its a stretch to call you my father, but to , I think that youve been my father in the military headquarters for the past 4 years.
I dont think that I can ever repay your kindness. Despite that, I still want to appreciate you with the little that I have. I brought this to thank you for everything Captain.
Kate brought out sothing from her bag at this mont. It was wrapped up in a rectangle shape with decorative hard paper, making it look extrely attractive.
Though it looked nice and attractive, Leo knew what his Captain liked so the decorative cover had a certain militaristic style to it.
Leo and Kate kneeled at this mont as the latter handed it respectfully to the watching Captain. The wrapped gift was a shapeshifting weapon that Leo got from a high-tier auction.
As a Captain, just like any other soldier, Captain Daniel was obsessed with powerful weapons.
After cracking his brain hard to think, Leo finally settled on this for his Captain. The weapon had dozens of configurations that it could morph to, which made it extrely valuable.
It cost him a whooping 5,000,000 Spartan credits to get it.
As soon as he held it, though he could not see what was inside due to the wrapping, Captain Daniel still deduced that it was a fairly expensive gift.
Smiling was supposed to be the normal reaction, but the captain didnt smile, he instead gave his subordinate a deep look before asking.
Youre leaving the military division?
Yes, Captain. I was contacted by the Spartan army 2 weeks ago, they offered the privilege to serve the republic in their ranks. I ca to inform you of this also. Leo answered calmly.
I see, congratulations. Stand up, no need to strain your knees. He finally helped the couple to their feet.
I appreciate your gift
Dont ntion sir, I really dont know how to thank you for your care for the past few years. Leo added.
I also want to appreciate you sir. Thank you for taking care of my husband on my behalf, hes told nurous stories about your benevolence. Im deeply grateful sir.
Kate finally joined the conversation as she bowed her head in gratitude.
Youre welco. When is the date of the main marriage again? The captain suddenly asked.
Sir, its on the 5th of this month, which is this Saturday. Leo answered.
Ok, Ill co.
Leo and Kate were shocked for a mont as they didnt know how to imdiately respond to this.
Captain Daniel chuckled. Why are you so shocked? Because I hardly go to social events does not an that I loathe going.
Thank..., thank you sir. Im deeply grateful. The couple was completely flabbergasted.
What does it an to have a 3rd rank high-grade soldier attend your marriage? Those were the upper echelons of the current Spartan republic; they didnt know how to express their joy.
Captain Daniel, as a 3rd rank high-grade soldier originally would not bring himself to attend such events, but he made an exception this ti.
He could not explain his feelings. Though the gift was just like a pinch of sand in a vast desert in comparison with his wealth, he still felt a cushy feeling from the gift that hed not felt in a long ti.
Perhaps, this was the feeling of being appreciated and he loved it.
After presenting the gift, the couple no longer spent ti there as they left shortly after. They were still shocked by the captains promise after entering their car, they just sat stiffly stunned.
In the end, they both leaned in and shared a deep kiss. To them, their honeymoon was already on even before the official marriage ceremony.
