The Rise of the Black Plain

Time passed, and it was finally time for the royal wedding of Minos, Abby, and Ruth!

As the sun rose over Dry City, the streets of this place dawned quiet, without any noise from construction so common in the surrounding area.

While the havens helped this day with entirely blue skies, providing a sunny day for the local people, the main streets of this city were decorated for the ceremony later in the day.

There were flowers on the street lamps, with ribbons of different colors around them, creating a significant backdrop for the citizens who would have the opportunity to see part of the event.

Several railings were well placed beside the sidewalks of the main avenues of this city, where the army parade would pass along with the royal entourage.

The royal entourage with the brides was scheduled to leave the local government mansion at noon and head for the wedding location.

Originally, such an event was to occur inside a Spiritual Church branch. But since there was no such place in Dry City, this royal wedding would occur in one of this city's government buildings, a place previously prepared for this event.

In any case, many police officers and soldiers were already on the streets, taking care of the event's security. At the same time, part of the population began to arrive from the side streets, and many formally dressed as if they were the ones getting married.

While the ordinary people were beginning to gather in this pleasant-looking and flower-scented place, the important guests were already leaving their homes or local hotels.

Among them, Elen was leaving her family's branch in this city, heading towards the interior of the defensive dome alongside the most important members of House Nash in this place.

She was dressed in a beautiful light green dress, her wavy blond hair was loose, and her pink lips were more attractive than ever.

Next to her, Elena was wearing something different from the armor of the local forces, highlighting her graceful body, similar to Elen's in certain parts.

"How are you doing for today? Anxious?" Elena asked her friend, smiling so that anyone who saw her would think this angelic woman was incapable of hurting other living beings.

"Hmmm, besides being a happy day for the local forces, this is an important step for the Black Plain to become even more attractive." Elen said that as she did not overlook the positives of this occasion for his local business.

"The regional population naturally views a leader with a queen, family, etc., more favorably. As such, this wedding is essential for the image of Minos and the Black Plain outside of this state."

"Really?"

"Hmm, it would be even better if they could produce an heir during their honeymoon..." She smiled, a little flushed.

"Haha, Elen, you truly care a lot about your work. But I don't think that will happen so easily..."

"Although I would like to see Minos' children."

"Oh?"

They continued their conversation inside a luxurious carriage of the Nash family, following the main avenues outside the local dome.

...

At the same time, at Minos' residence, this man had already left the night before to make room for his two women to get organized.

And with that, by now, the two were already beginning to get ready, with their hearts beating restlessly, finally feeling nervous.

"Abby, I'm glad this day is finally here..." This woman's mother said this as she wiped one of her eyes with a handkerchief. "I hope you will be very happy and beget some grandchildren for your father and me."

"Mother..."

"No, you can't cry now, Abby, or you won't be in your best state for Minos." She hugged her daughter before looking at Ruth and taking responsibility for this woman's family.

"Ruth, you and Abby will soon be married to Minos and be in the same family. So, since you will soon be sisters to me, why don't you hug your second mother?" She opened her arms, smiling at that young black-haired woman.

Ruth was touched by this and hugged Nicole, leaving Mia's side, who was also there with Eda, Robin, Brooke, and Mona.

All of them were there to help the two women prepare for this great day as they were the closest people to Minos and his women.

Eda was a former bodyguard for Abby, while Mona and Brooke were close friends of this woman. Mona was also friends with Ruth, as both had been disciples of the Grey Clouds Sect until recently.

Mona, in particular, had left that sect after receiving Abby's advice that she would have a better future returning to the northern region of the Central Continent.

As for Mia, she was the one who had the most contact with those two brides, and with her pregnancy, the relationship between the three had only improved.

Abby and Ruth wanted to know if there were any secrets to getting pregnant faster...

Anyway, soon, the touching moment passed, and they turned their attention to making those two women more beautiful than ever for King Stuart.

...

Meanwhile, Minos was finishing dressing in his office, alongside the butler Dillian and his father-in-law, Eliot.

"Haha, Your Grace, congratulations. You're finally getting married!" Dillian tapped Minos' right shoulder as his mustache twitched with a smile on his face.

"Hmmm." Minos smiled, pleased.

As Minos looked at himself in a mirror, Eliot nodded to his son-in-law, pleased that his daughter ended up next to this young man and not some ordinary person from this region.

"Young Minos, today I will give my sweet Abby over to you entirely. So, I hope you will take good care of her in the future, no matter what happens."

"I will, father-in-law. Abby, Ruth, and I are very close-knit, and I will certainly give both of them a great life."

"Good, good!"

"Well, you don't have to get too hung up on having kids, but if it happens, you can leave it to grandpa here to spoil them very well, hahaha." He laughed as he pulled out a large cigar from his spatial ring, feeling good for the day.

Abby had grown into a woman so quickly. In addition, she was already stronger than him, making Eliot tremendously proud of his daughter. So, as much as no father would like to give his sweet daughter to another man, he was happy with where fate had brought them.

It was a much better outcome than he had ever imagined!

Hence, there was no way he could not smile!

"Well, are you guys ready?" Minos finished what he was doing and asked the two of them. "Let's go!"

Afterward, the three men left the local government mansion, heading towards the wedding venue in a chariot.

Soon, the three were watching the streets filled with people, where thousands were waving at them, shouting congratulations to Minos.

...

Arriving at the wedding venue, Minos walked across a red carpet in front of Dillian and Eliot, passing alongside many acquaintances.

As he walked towards his place, soldiers and subordinates of his on the way to where Gloria was at the moment bowed their heads as he passed them.

After shaking many hands, waving to some people, and greeting more warmly some women in the area, Minos arrived at Gloria's side with a smile on his face.

"Gloria, last night was interesting... When can we see each other again?" He said softly, remembering the fun time the two had had recently.

"Minos!"

"Don't you think it's wrong to talk about this on your wedding day?" She blushed, moving closer to him so no one else could overhear that conversation.

"Abby and Ruth know of my intentions toward you, Gloria. Thus, none of that bothers me..." He said as he looked into her beautiful light green eyes.

He thought of something and laughed. "I have a curiosity that only you can satisfy..."

"Oh?"

"If it were you in Abby and Ruth's place, who would be here in the Spiritual Church position?"

Gloria's eyes widened as she realized he was suggesting the idea of them getting married in the future, and her heart started beating at more intense frequencies than usual.

Gulp!

"If the wedding were to occur within the Spiritual Church, a Patriarch would perform the ceremony. But I have never heard any case of church members marrying kings..."

"Is that so? Then that would make you the first." He winked at her, making her even more embarrassed.
