King of succubus

Alvine walked calmly towards Liliana, who was held by Sylvia in a path hastily made by the spectators.

But what Alvine did not know was the customs of vampires, which were (slightly) different from humans.

Even if his steps were slow and noble, his heart was overwhelmed by unknown emotions that raged there that he himself could not get rid of.

"You seem to appreciate my surprise, am I wrong?" Sylvia asked with an attractive smile.

"Surprise? Honestly, I still can't know if I still woke up or not." He said without worrying about his words.

At such a time, he felt that being honest would be more beneficial for everyone than being cold and indifferent as he used to do.

"Fufu~ it doesn't matter, just tell yourself that you are in your dream and enjoy as much as you want. These kinds of luck are not offered to everyone." Sylvia commented briefly by placing Lilliana's hand in his palm.

"..." Lilliana's cheeks were pink despite herself when her thin fingers came into contact with those of Alvine who was large but silky like those of a woman.

When Alvine wondered what to do next, Vandel appeared in front of them dressed in a white dress that had the motif of a red crown.

'Is he the one who represents the pope or something like that?' Alvine wondered confusedly.

But he didn't have to worry about this little detail, because Lilliana was both the bride and the guide.

*We must walk to Sir Vandel, he will bind us before my ancestors. But it is only a ceremonial formality, nothing complicated.*

Hearing his voice, Alvine slightly nods before walking with Lilliana hand in hand towards Vandel.

"My lord, my queen... you are both ravishing. This old man is beginning to regret his lonely days. Especially you, my lord, you have... an original outfit." Vandel complimented them briefly with a teasing smile.

"Grandpa, wouldn't you have done better to keep quiet?" It was only now that Alvine noticed his clothes.

But on the other hand, he didn't care about this (insignificant) detail.

"Hohoho~ if you want to excuse me, we will start the ceremony without further delay." He said with a smile while wearing his two white gloves.

-Nodd,

The two agreed at the same time.

Seeing their impatience, Vandel no longer wasted time. He began the ceremony with a few prayers by requesting the blessing of these ancestors and the supreme goddess who had guided their races...

After a long and endless speech that seemed to have lasted forever for the two newlyweds, Vandel finally stopped.

-Good, bring the alliance’s cup." He announced looking at the main door.

-Crraa

From the moment the two doors were opened, Alvine raised his eyebrows when he saw a small red cup that was placed on a golden cart and pushed by a man wearing a red mask.

Alvine instantly guessed the man's identity even if he wore a red mask that covered his entire face.

-Noddra.

The small cup itself had a unique design with incomprehensible ruins for Alvine and a garnet crystal was embedded in its size.

Even if he did not know what this cup was for, which was half filled with a golden liquid; Alvine could guess that the cup was not there for decoration. This medieval cup was an artifact, probably an artifact that linked two people by a unique and united bond.

That was probably the purpose of this wedding ceremony.

"My lord, are you ready to take as your wife, The Queen of Vampires Lilliana Bloodclaw for eternity?" Vandel asked Alvine.

"Yes, I agree."

"As for you, My Queen, are you ready to consider as early as today, Lord Alvine for eternity?"

"Yes, I accept him!"

Even if the others were confused when they heard the name of Alvine, no one did not ask more.

"Well, each of you must put a drop of your blood in the alliance cup. But before that, I ask the witnesses, who do not agree with this union, to come forward and challenge the bride or groom in a duel to settle any future misunderstanding." Vandel suddenly made this request with a mischievous smile while looking at the crowd.

'Hm? Are there such rules?' Alvine des asked, looking at a single person who seemed to be dissatisfied with his decision.

But fortunately for him, Sabrina nodded her head with an ironic smile.

'Sigh, fortunately, she seems to have her spirits.' Alvine thought these words with a sigh of relief. He knew that except for Sabrina and Sylvia, no one will have the nerve to challenge Lilliana.

But what about himself?

"Hoho~ we have one candidate, no, two candidates." Vandel's eyes were like those of the spectators shone with impatience.

"!"

'Sigh, why do the problems only manifest when you least expect them?' Alvine was surprised to see two hands raised to oppose his union with Lilliana.

But what made him more surprised was that the opponents were all men; in other words, he will probably fight against them in a duel.

The first opponent had curly red hair and scarlet eyes, he was the only son of the third advisor who had died in the forest during the war against magical beasts; Vadjir Cala.

Like Vadjir, the second opponent was also a potential candidate to be the Queen's husband. He was a long black-haired vampire with a rapier as his main weapon; Vandel's disciple, Likiel Idwan.

"Hohoho~ the youth, it seems that even my disciple was opposed to this union. In short, tell us the reasons that motivate you; young people." Vandel asked even if their reasons were obvious.

At the same time, Vadjir and Likiel advanced in front of the crowd, ignoring their murmurs of discontent and helplessness.

Likiel bowed slightly to Liliana and calmly pronounced his reasons. "I know it seems rude on my part, but I would like to gauge Sir Alvine's strength by my own blade."

As for Vadjir, he looked at Alvine with hateful eyes and said coldly: "He is not worthy to marry our queen. Alone am worthy’s her." He said without politeness.

Alvine raised his eyebrows with a thoughtful air. *I don't remember meeting this man, Who is he? * He asked Lilliana who was next to him.

*Sigh, I prefer not to go into this annoying detail. *

*Hm? In short, it hasn't matter; What happens in this kind of situation?" *

*You must naturally face them; at the same time. And preferably, you should not retain yourself or underestimate them; It's a sacred duel.*

Alvine agreed with Lilliana. Wasting time with these two divine mages who have not yet solidified their divine powers would simply be a waste of time for the ceremony.

"My lord, do you prefer to abandon your bride's hand or do you want to take up the challenge?" Even if his expression was monotonous, Alvine felt that this old man was impatient to see his duel with them.

"Grandpa, was it necessary to ask this question?" Alvine asked while getting away from Lilliana.

"Hohoho~, indeed, it was not necessary. Well, we can go out for prep...

"It won't be necessary." Alvine prevented Vandel from continuing by retorting these words.

Since he did not intend to personally take care of these two jealous, he was convinced that the duel would not last any longer.

"Your arrogance will lead you to your fall." Vadjir retorted these words by taking a long Scarlet sword out of his sheath and pointing it at Alvine.

"Grandpa?" Alvine ordered by standing nonchalantly standing in front of his two opponents.

"It's a sacred duel that our ancestors will witness, please don't hold back. Likiel asked, positioning himself with his rapist.

"Good." As soon as Alvine pronounced this word, Darka and Luna appeared next to him.

"!"

"Speaking of serving me all my power, I hope you will be able to defeat these two guards before fighting me?" Alvine replied with indifference.

"Even if you have a thousand invocations with you, the power of a holy magus will always be insignificant." Vadjir ridiculed him by mentioning this detail that was not known to everyone.

Vandel sighed when he saw the two silhouettes in front of Alvine. 'If it seems that nothing interesting will come out of this duel.'

He knew the arrogant character of Vadjir who was applauded as an innate talent from birth. As a result, this man had an ego larger than the sky but also more fragile than a spider's web.

"Start!" He said after offering space to Alvine and his opponents.

"Don't hurt them, don't kill them. Immobilize only them." Alvine whispered these words to Luna and Darka who immediately nodded.

Instantly,

Likiel was dizzy and found himself immobilized to the ground with both hands seized by Luna and a cold dagger in front of his throat!

As for Vadjir, he was lying on the floor without anyone touching him while Darka was standing in front of him.

Those who weren't able to see the movements of Luna and Darka had the impression that one of them had stopped time to defeat the two young talents.

'What was this strange raven that went into the shadow of little Vadjir?' Vandel frowned while looking at Alvine's back.

-Not only is he able to take care of four divine beasts at the same time, but these strange soldiers who are under his command are actually more ferocious than himself. I doubted I had the chance to be able to win against him, but... Sigh, it seemed that I was ridiculous thinking I could defeat him.- He continued while his eyes wavered.

The dull silence of the room was broken by Alvine who suddenly asked: -Are there any other people who want to challenge me?

-Silence~~~

"Well, grandpa; Can we continue?" He turned to Lilliana who had an ironic smile.

*I told you not to hold back but I had never asked for the intervention of these things you have with you in the duel. *

*Well, it would be rude of me to make the new bride wait. I know that the problem will not end with this duel. The other man who is fainted will certainly come to challenge me later, it is at this moment that I would have the patience to engage in a sincere duel with him. But for now... no one has the right to want to take from me what is mine!*

His smile was more frightening than usual when he spoke these words telepathically.

*... *

"Ahem, we can now continue the ritual," Vandel announced in an embarrassed tone when he saw his disciple easily neutralized by a holy mage.

But he wasn't angry with him. If it was another holy mage, maybe he would be angry but, after all, it was Alvine.

Alvine showed a small black needle in his palm and pricked the tip of his index finger, Lilliana did the same with Alvine's needle.

Plic, plic.

From the moment the two had their blood in the cup, the golden liquid that was in the cup changed color and turned garnet red.

"Drink each, a sip to seal your bond for eternity." Vandel explained slowly.

-Nodd,

Alvine drink a sip in the cup that was supported by Lilliana and did the same by offering Lilliana a sip.

"By the testimony of our ancestors, by the agreement of the elders and witnesses, and by the power of authority that is granted to me; I declare to you from this moment, husband and wife for better and worse by an endless bond and united by blood!" Vandel pronounced his verdict
