Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
chapter-1043-2

Lux's body stiffened the moment his gaze landed on the contents of the scroll.

The big bold words that said "Certificate of Marriage" made his heart shudder as he read the rest that was written in the scroll.

———————————-

This is to certify that I, Lux Von Kaizer, and Anastasia Von Gweliven, by virtue of this license, required by Law and the Temple of the Gods, are united in the holy bonds of matrimony.

His gaze then landed on the names of the witnesses who had signed the Marriage Certificate without his approval.

'Just who dafuk are these people?' Lux scratched his head as he looked at the names who served as the witnesses of the marriage contact. 'I don't even know them!'

(A/N: to those who want their names added to the names of Witnesses, post a comment in the comment section.)

But that was the least of his worries.

The King had also signed the marriage certificate, and at the very bottom of it was Princess Anastasia's thumbprint.

Right beside it was Lux's own thumbprint, making the Half-Elf understand just what the adorable princess had done earlier.

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Nevreal handed another scroll to Lux, which made the corner of his lips twitch after reading its contents.

This time, it was a marriage contract, which included the prenuptial and postnuptial agreement between him and Princess Anastasia.

When Lux saw the names of the two witnesses that were listed on the marriage contract, he almost ripped it apart.

Witnesses:

Eriol

Macuilxochitl (Max for short).

At the very bottom of the contract, his and Princess Anastasia's thumbprints could be seen.

The Half-Elf didn't know if he should laugh or cry after understanding everything that happened.

He then looked at the Princess, who was no longer smiling back at him.

This time, the adorable Dwarf was looking at him with a solemn expression on her face.

"Sir Lux, know that I am serious about this," Princess Anastasia said. "I really want to be your fiancee. Although what I did earlier is unacceptable, know that this was just my desperate attempt to be with you.

"If you really feel that I have no place in your heart, then just tell me. I will burn these scrolls, and both of us can pretend that none of this happened."

Anastasia's voice almost broke apart when she said the last words of her sentence. Still, she stood firm and looked at the Half-Elf with an affectionate gaze.

Lux could see that the corners of her eyes were moist as if she was holding back her tears.

He also saw her hands resting over her skirt trembling, making the Half-Elf sigh in his heart.

Earlier, he was truly on the verge of rejecting her proposal, but seeing how determined Princess Anastasia was, he felt himself hesitating.

"… Let me ask my Fiancees about it," Lux said. "I would also like to show them these certificates if you don't mind."

Princess Anatasia nodded before lowering her head.

She was really doing her best to hold back the tears in her eyes, making King Uther, Nevreal, and Millie, want to give her a hug.

But Lux was a step faster than them and pulled Princess Anatasia close to him.

"It's fine, everyone in this room will momentarily become blind," Lux said softly. "None of them will see anything for the next few minutes. So you are free to do whatever you want in that time."

King Uther, Nevreal, and Millie smiled at each other.

Although they wanted to stay inside the room, they all decided to leave, so that Princess Anastasia wouldn't feel too conscious of their presence.

The moment the three people left the throne room, the adorable princess' tears finally fell.

She wrapped her arms around Lux's waist and cried.

When her father had asked her two days ago whether she wanted to get married to Lux, she readily said yes. She had been dreaming about this for a long time, and her father bringing up the topic made her very excited. It was simply a dream come true.

Because of this, she asked Millie to go to the Temple of the Gods with her and ask the High Priestess to give her a Marriage Certificate.

After that, he asked Nevreal for help in drafting a Marriage Contract.

When everything was ready, she told Millie about the strategy they would use once Lux arrived.

She had even practiced her jump and asked her brother, Robin, for help.

Of course, Robin wanted his sister's happiness, so he allowed himself to be used as target practice until his fingers were all covered in ink.

Countless scrolls were wasted as Princess Anastasia practiced to perfect her strategy.

Of course, she knew that what she was doing would be for naught if Lux really strongly opposed marrying her.

His rejection made her feel anxious, but after what happened in Wolfpine Barony, she decided that she would live her life to the fullest.

She didn't want to regret the decisions she didn't make.

Even if Lux were to really reject her, at least she could tell herself with confidence that she had done her best.

She went above and beyond her means to gain his approval. So, regardless of the outcome, she would stand by her choice and accept it, even if it meant breaking her heart.

A few minutes passed in silence as Princess Anastasia cried silently while holding onto Lux.

The Half-Elf was quite surprised with the strength of her hold on him.

He had a feeling that even if he tried his best to pry her from his body, she would continue to hug him as if her life depended on it.

Half an hour later, Princess Anastasia finally let go of him and took a step back.

She then made a curtsy towards Lux before turning around.

The Princess of the Kingdom then walked toward the Gate of the throne room with steady steps.

However, before she left, she said something that made Lux look at the wrist.

"I am glad that you're still using the gift that I gave you," Princess Anastasia said without looking back. "Thank you, Sir Lux, for everything."

After saying those words, the princess opened the gate and closed it behind her, leaving Lux all alone inside the throne room.

A sigh escaped his lips as he looked at the Mithril Bracelet on his wrist.

This was a gift that Princess Anastasia had given him long ago, telling him that it was a good luck charm.

The bracelet could block one attack of a Low-Ranker every ten minutes, and it was considered one of the treasures of the Kingdom.

Princess Anastasia had given this to Lux because she was worried that the Half-Elf would get hurt if a Ranker ever fought against him.

Back then, Lux was just an Initiate, and now, he had long outranked the capabilities of the bracelet.

Even so, he still wore it because it was a gift given to him by the Princess, whom he had saved in the past.

Although it had several cracks in its surface, this precious gift had accompanied Lux on his journey, bearing witness to the hardships that he had experienced in life.

He then looked at the Marriage Contract and the Marriage Certificate in his hands before turning into particles of light.

Just as he mentioned, he needed to talk with Iris and Cai first.

Depending on their decision, he would return to the Kingdom of Gweliven to give the Princess a proper answer to her feelings.
