Dragon Monarch System
chapter-423

"Are you sure you don't want to come?" Aditya inquired, his gaze shifting between Alicia and Sylvie. Standing before them, dressed in his ceremonial attire for the wedding, Aditya felt a pang of longing for their company. His wives, Riya, Julia, and Lara, stood beside him, equally eager to attend the joyous occasion.

Alicia smiled warmly, her eyes reflecting a sense of contentment. "No, I think I'll use this time to show Sylvie around Azure City," she replied, her voice filled with genuine enthusiasm. Alicia knew that Sylvie, being an adventurous soul, would appreciate exploring the wonders of their bustling capital city.

Aditya nodded, understanding Alicia's desire to spend quality time with her best friend. He placed a hand on her shoulder, conveying his trust and affection. "Take good care of yourself, my love. Don't lose yourself in your work," he reminded her gently, a hint of concern lacing his words. Aditya cherished Alicia and wanted to ensure that she prioritized her well-being in his absence.

Alicia's cheeks flushed at the public display of affection, but she reciprocated the embrace, wrapping her arms around Aditya's back. The warmth of their connection enveloped them, reminding them of their unwavering bond. It was a testament to their love and devotion, unmarred by the presence of others.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," Alicia reassured him, her voice filled with love and determination. She cherished their moments together and understood the importance of self-care. With Aditya's departure, she would find solace in her work, balanced with moments of relaxation and exploration with Sylvie.

Aditya chuckled, his eyes sparkling with affection as he released Alicia from their embrace. "I'll hold you to your words," he playfully retorted. The memory of his previous absence, unintentionally prolonged, lingered in their minds. Both Aditya and Alicia were determined to cherish every moment they had together, not allowing any more unnecessary separations.

With a few tender kisses and encouraging words exchanged, Aditya bid farewell to Alicia and Sylvie, his heart at ease knowing they would keep each other company. He turned to his trusted advisor, Spencer, entrusting him with the smooth operation of the empire in his absence.

"Spencer, please take care of everything in my absence," Aditya instructed, his voice filled with confidence. "If anyone asks about me, inform them that I am immersed in cultivation and will not be available for the time being."

Spencer nodded, his loyalty unwavering as he replied, "Your Excellency, rest assured, I will handle everything diligently. Your return will be eagerly awaited."

Aditya's gaze then shifted to his younger brother, Leo, and his cheerful sister, Clara, who stood nearby. Leo nodded, understanding the responsibility that fell upon him during Aditya's absence. Clara beamed with excitement, waving at Aditya with an infectious smile.

"It's time to leave," Aditya declared, a note of anticipation in his voice. The teleportation array activated, enveloping Aditya, Julia, Riya, and Lara, whisking them away to the Thera Kingdom, where a celebration of love awaited them.

Alicia! Alicia!

Sylvie's words broke through Alicia's reverie, grounding her in the present moment. She blinked away the haze of longing that had clouded her thoughts, her gaze shifting from the empty teleportation Array circle to her friend's face.

"You're right, Sylvie," Alicia replied, her voice tinged with a mix of melancholy and anticipation. "I know it's silly to feel this way, but even a brief separation feels like an eternity when you're deeply connected to someone. It's just a testament to how much I cherish our time together."

Sylvie smiled knowingly, her eyes filled with understanding. "Love has a funny way of making time feel both swift and endless, doesn't it? But remember, absence can also strengthen the bond between two hearts. It allows you to appreciate and treasure each moment you spend together."

Alicia nodded, her expression softening with a newfound sense of reassurance. "You're right, as always, Sylvie. I will cherish the time we have apart, knowing that it will only make our reunion even sweeter. Besides, I have important tasks to attend to here, and Aditya has his own responsibilities to fulfill."

Sylvie placed a comforting hand on Alicia's shoulder, her voice filled with warmth. "Exactly, my friend. Focus on your duties, immerse yourself in your work, and time will pass more swiftly than you realize. Before you know it, Aditya will be back by your side, and you'll have countless moments to create beautiful memories together."

Alicia's lips curved into a small smile, gratitude shining in her eyes. "Thank you, Sylvie. Your words always bring me comfort and perspective. I am truly lucky to have you as my friend."

Sylvie chuckled, her voice laced with playfulness. "Well, it's a good thing I'm here to keep you grounded, isn't it? Now, let's focus on the tasks at hand and make the most of this time apart. And who knows, by the time Aditya returns, we may have some exciting news or surprises waiting for him."

As Aditya and his three fiances arrived at the grand entrance of the Thera Kingdom, a vibrant display of colorful banners and fluttering flags adorned the castle walls.

His majestic crimson robe, intricately embroidered with golden threads, cascaded down to his feet. Adorning his chest was a dazzling brooch in the shape of the Thera Kingdom's emblem, a radiant phoenix symbolizing rebirth and resilience. The king's crown, studded with precious gemstones, glistened under the sunlight, adding a touch of magnificence to his presence.

"I guess, it's time. Your Majesty, it has been an honor to be a part of this joyous occasion and to experience the graciousness of your kingdom. We are deeply grateful for your kind hospitality," Aditya remarked, his voice filled with sincerity.
