Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)
chapter-413

A week passed, and finally, the rumor that Tristen had successfully wooed the most beautiful moon in the Gale Empire was common news.

It made almost all the men in the empire go green with jealousy, knowing that a beautiful innocent flower was plucked by the imperial prince himself.

However, back in the imperial city, there were celebrations going on to celebrate for Tristen since he finally got a fiance though apparently, Tristen refused to appear in any public celebrations or any ceremonies to make their engagement official since he said that these things were needed only for marriage and Yuria doesn't like too much attention.

It was time for Damien to leave with Yuria and King Krisen showed a lot of hesitation on his face knowing that he was letting his daughter go out of his sight for the first time and that too with a man.

He felt a mix of sadness and happiness. Sad that she wouldn't be near him anymore but happy that she finally found the life partner she truly loved.

Yuria teared up, seeing her father's complicated expression, and hugged him as she said, "Papa, don't be sad. Even if one day I get married to Damien, we will still come and visit you always."

King Krisen nodded with a soft smile, "I know...it's just that I am not used to this. Don't worry. I will be alright soon. It's just that things happened too fast. I never expected you to find a man this soon, and even if it was Maximus, I expected it to take some more years till you were mature enough to be someone's wife. But now I guess you are ready after everything that has happened."

Yuria happily nodded and felt sad as well that she would be seeing less of her father from now on though she knew this was what every girl has to go through when leaving their family.

Damien saw how the father and daughter duo were trying to come to terms with not seeing each other and sighed.

He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty need not worry. After we marry each other for real, we will try to come as frequently as possible. By then, everything should be peaceful in this world."

"Good to hear that," King Krisen said with a warm smile and patted Yuria, "It's time, child. Papa will miss you. Now go with your man and live a happier life. Be careful and safe as well. The imperial city is not safe like it seems. The more powerful your status becomes, the more people will try to stab you from the back to take it all. But I think you know this already."

Yuria smiled as she broke the hug, "Of course, Papa. Even if I lived most of my life as a spoiled princess, I wasn't ignorant of the things happening behind the scenes. I know how treacherous people can be and how...cruel. I will be careful, and so will Damien."

Damien and Yuria then bid goodbyes to each other before leaving the palace.

Damien put Tristen on auto-pilot mode while he and Valentina accompanied Yuria along with the undead Tristen.

Of course, Valentina was accompanying Tristen as his Will Protector while Damien was accompanying him as Godnim, Tristen's friend. Yuria made sure to sit as far as possible from the undead Tristen since she felt it a bit creepy, especially when Damien wasn't personally controlling it, and instead inside the carriage, she was holding hands with Damien while Valentina also hugged his arm to keep up with the competition.

Still, Valentina had slowly become comfortable with Yuria over the past week, and she loved the beautiful painting Yuria gifted to her, which she safely kept in her spatial ring.

She never thought a painting could look so beautiful and life-like while also noticing certain characteristics about herself she never realized before. Now she realized how magical Yuria's painting skills were and asked her to teach her painting as well.

Damien amusedly smiled, seeing two of the most beautiful women in the world lovingly holding him, making him think that women indeed can make a man's life beautiful and blissful.

Of course, if anybody else saw this scene inside the carriage, Damien would be hunted by the entire Gale Empire even if 'Tristen' won't say anything.

They first stopped near the imperial palace as a temporary stop and not because Damien was planning to let an undead Tristen stay with Yuria together.

However, he had to let the emperor know that things were progressing and that Tristen was worthy of getting the title of the crown prince.

After that, his plan was to stay with Yuria in Luton Town, which was under Tristen's jurisdiction, and live in his mansion along with Valentina, of course.

But even that was a temporary plan since he had a better plan which he was planning to put into action after Tristen became the crown prince.

So, for now, he stayed back in Luton Town with Valentina while he entered Tristen's body and began to control him as he entered the imperial grounds with Yuria.

Yuria was feeling a bit nervous since she was walking through a land she had never stepped on before and also because she was going to see the most powerful man in the empire.

She had heard from Damien how the Gale Empire was a very scheming and ruthless person, and this only made her be on her guard even more.

She knew she shouldn't show a hint of weakness before such men since it would not only make her seem less but also her kingdom since she was representing it.

Damien gave her a reassuring look that everything would be alright as the two entered and walked through the palace.

But they frowned slightly when they saw Kale walking in from the opposite direction and looking at him with a smile that seemed a bit off.

But the moment Kale saw Yuria's stunning beauty, even if she had a veil on, he couldn't help but have his face go green for a second before looking away and walking straight.

Damien knitted his brows, thinking that something was up with him definitely, and the two finally entered the throne room where the Gale Emperor slightly smiled seeing the two enter.
