Dragon Monarch System
chapter-698

The morning sun had already risen high in the sky, and the time was now 10 o'clock. Almost all of the guests who had been invited to attend the wedding on Stone-Heart Island had already arrived. The number of guests present on the Island had swelled to close to 5,000, and the number was still increasing as more guests arrived.

The guest list included every noble and top military official, along with their families, who had been invited to attend the Prime Minister's wedding. The invitation was too important to refuse, and as a result, no one had declined it. The wedding was one of the most significant events of the year, and everyone was excited to be part of it.

As each guest arrived, they were greeted warmly and shown to their respective accommodations. The venue was meticulously decorated with flowers and other decorations that added to the festive atmosphere of the occasion. Everyone was dressed in their best attire. It was a joyous occasion. Everyone was smiling and chatting with each other while they waited for the main man to arrive. The teleportation array suddenly lit up; signaling the arrival of new guests. Beautiful Maids and butlers stood in two lines to greet the guests. As the bright light dimmed down, the servants became slightly surprised to see that it was the Emperor and his Family. The servants became extra respectful and polite. Their masters were here. Suddenly all the maids and butlers went to their one knee. They placed their right hand above their hearts and lowered their heads. Looking at the Royal Family would be a sign of disrespect. So, all of them lowered their gazes and looked at the ground. This caught the attention of other guests as they never did this kind of greeting to any guests. As they looked at the teleportation array to see who had arrived, they were stunned to see the entire Royal Family. Seeing the Royal Family, the guests stood up.

It was a matter of difference between their status. The Royal Family stood above all. Everyone had to show respect to the Royal Family and, Most importantly, to the Emperor of the Istarin Empire. Seeing some guests standing up attracted the attention of all the other guests. Within a a few seconds, all the guests on the island were standing and were looking towards the Royal Family. "His Majesty and the Royal Family have arrived." As the announcement was made, the whole island suddenly became really silent. This silence wasn't out of fear of the Royal Family and the Emperor. This silence was out of respect for the Emperor and The Royal Family. Mainly because of the Man who has accomplished so much within such a short period of time. Despite being King for less than 4 years, he has accomplished more than 99.9 Kings and emperors out there. There is no doubt that he had written his name as one of the Greatest Emperors in the history books, if not the best Emperor. Aditya was in front of everyone. His fiance and his siblings were behind him. Sylvie, Lilith, and Amelia stayed behind. They were going to come with Aria. They were her bridesmaid. Aditya wanted Lilith to come with him since she was his fiance. But she was insistent about staying behind and appearing with Aria. Looking at Aditya, Amber felt her heartbeat increasing. Her cheeks slightly blushed. Aditya looked really handsome in his new hairstyle. This hairstyle really suited him. 'Why is it so hot here?' Amber thought to herself. She opened the folding fan and covered half of her face with it so that others wouldn't see her blushing face. She still couldn't stop looking at him. Even if she feels that she isn't worthy of standing beside Aditya, at least she can admire him and love him from a distance as much as possible. Today, Aditya has attracted the attention of all females. Aditya was already handsome. It's just that in the past he never really focused on his appearance. Following Alicia, Sasha also wore a veil to cover her face. She did not want anyone to see her face. Seeing a new female in the Royal Family, everyone wondered if she was the Emperor's new fiance. Even if anyone became the Emperor's fiance, Aditya never really publicly announced it. In fact, compared to other Kings and Emperors, Aditya's private life was extremely secretive. He himself very rarely made a public appearance. The number of times that he made an appearance with his finance was only a few times. After the Royal Family made their appearance, Aditya went ahead and personally greeted the other Kings. Aditya had to show them respect. Aditya held great respect for all the kings present, treating each one equally regardless of their position or power.

He didn't show any partiality to the Emperor of Echo Dominion, Daxton Ferguson, despite his status as the leader of one of the most influential empires in the Cosmic Tide Alliance. Similarly, Aditya did not treat the King of Thera Kingdom any differently, despite the fact that Thera Kingdom was currently the smallest kingdom in the six continents. For Aditya, every member of the Cosmic Tide Alliance deserved the same level of respect and consideration.

But the first ones he greeted were his brother-in-law and his father-in-law. The reason for this was obvious. Family always comes first. "Hello, father.....!! I hope we didn't come late." Aditya first greeted Ronnie. In front of Ronnie, Aditya did not show any attitude, nor did he have the Aura of an Emperor.

This is what made Aditya stand out from the rest. "Hello, Aditya...!! Of course not!!! We also arrived just a few minutes ago." "We were actually talking about you." Aditya nodded his head. He then greeted Noah and the rest. As for the ladies, Alicia and Julia's family members came forward to meet everyone in the Royal Family.

After politely greeting Alicia and Julia's family members, Watson excused himself and approached his brother, Walter.

It had been a while since they had seen each other. While with each passing day, it looked like Watson was getting younger, on the other hand, Walter looked like he was getting older. Now, Walter looked like Watson's father or grandfather. Both brothers hugged each other. "How have you been doing, brother?" Watson asked Walter with a smile. "Same as always. What about you? It seems you have gotten stronger again." Walter could feel that Watson had become stronger now. "Yes, thanks to His Majesty." Watson did not deny the truth. "Since you're here, why not look for a potential spouse?" Walter asked Watson. "Not this topic again.....!!" This is the reason why Watson avoided returning home. "What did you say?" Walter was displeased seeing Watson rolling his eyes. "Stop acting like my father....!!! As for Marriage, I have a long time to think about it. There is no need to force myself to find a spouse." Hearing this, Walter sighed. He knew that there was no changing his brother's mind. Hopefully, Emperor Aditya would be able to do something about this. "Lara, how have you been doing?" Sophia affectionately hugged Lara. Ever since Sophia learned Lara's sad backstory, she has been really affectionate towards Lara. Sophia and Adam treated Lara like her own biological daughter. Lara also hugged Sophia back with a smile on her face. "Lara has been doing well, thanks to everyone's care and support. What about you, Aunty?" But when Lara called Sophia aunty, she was dissatisfied. "What did you call me?" She asked in a slightly cold tone, which made Lara shiver even though she was now a cultivator. "Lara means, mom.....!!" Lara awkwardly said. She still hadn't gotten used to calling Sophia mother. "Good...!!" Sophia patted Lara's head with a satisfied smile. "Au....Mom, how has your research on demons going?" Lara asked. Sophia had become really interested in researching to learn more about the age when demons invaded the continent. For the last couple of months, she had been busy with her research and her family. So she did not come to the Dragon Palace. Instead, occasionally, Julia went to see her mother. "My research has been going smoothly." It was all thanks to the money that Adam allocated for her research. Though, Sophia didn't mention it. "Sasha, dear, you have been really quiet this whole time. What happened?" Other than saying a few polite words, she had been really silent. Sophia was worried that something might have happened to Sasha. "I am doing fine, Aunty. There is nothing to be worried about." Although Sophia told her to call her mom instead of Aunty, Sasha did not stop calling her Aunty. "Mom, Sasha is like this," Julia explained to her mother. Sasha was the silent type of person. She doesn't really speak unless absolutely necessary. "By the way, Sasha, where is Lilith?" Bianca asked. As someone who liked to tease others, Bianca really loved Lilith's character. Lilith always made things more fun. And it was always fun to see Lilith and Amelia argue. "My mother is with Aria." Hearing this, Bianca nodded her head. She was slightly disappointed. "By the way, I don't see Sylvie anywhere." Flora, Ronnie's 3rd wife, asked the question. "Mom, Sylvie is with Aria. Not just Sylive and Lilith, but also Amelia is staying with Aria." Alicia told everyone. Hearing this, Alicia's grandmother, Olivia, was slightly disappointed. Olivia was hoping to see Amelia and talk. While everyone was having a great time, it was time for the groom and the bride to come. The main event was about to start.

At the same time, somewhere in the Istarin Empire, a new disaster was ready to be unleashed. ----------------
