Wedding Party

The Zenith clan palace was starting to get busier with all kinds of party preparations. Since the night of the party, Wilona, ​​Hosh has not seen her at all. Indeed, there is a culture for the bride to be in her room two nights before the wedding ceremony takes place. Shenna also confirmed the existence of the princess to him.

The difference that was felt at the party this time was, previously the party would have been open to the general public, where everyone could come without exception, it was different from this time. Hosh and Wilona's wedding party was held privately and only a few people attended who also attended the small party the previous two nights.

This small party was the request of Princess Wilona, ​​who, predictably, unwilling to bear the shame that was growing within her. She couldn't bear to listen to all the gossip from the guests who came about her prospective groom. Hosh didn't mind at all. Actually he also agreed. He also did not want this marriage to be the center of attention.

The wedding ceremony finally took place. Wearing a white royal attire with some gold and black stripes, Hosh still couldn't look dashing. The rash on his face as well as his limping legs were clearly visible, inviting the shocks of many parties. The whispering voice seemed to overpower the bridesmaids' pianos.

The king stood on his throne. The wedding ceremony in the Zenith clan is always presided over by the oldest patriarch in their family. Of course this time it was King Alaric who would step in to marry off his own daughter. The man was wearing a full suit to match Hosh as well as a white robe and a crown atop his head.

The sound of a large door being opened showed the figure of a very beautiful Wilona in a simple but luxurious cut wedding dress with lots of diamonds stuck on it. Of course the whole beautiful appearance was inversely proportional to the complex expression on her face. He looks emotional and occasionally sheds tears out of annoyance and sadness.

The mother, Xylia, accompanied the princess to step inside. The woman could only hold the princess' hand tightly by occasionally stroking it as if giving strength. Hosh could see how Wilona was stealing glances at Lion as if asking for help. Lion who was looked at could only nod slowly as if to say that everything would be fine.

Upon arriving at the aisle, Hosh and Wilona were reluctant to look at each other. King Alaric started saying some vows between the bride and groom. Later, the bride and groom only need to say they are willing to marry by mentioning the names of their respective spouses. Both of them pounded for different reasons, of course, until the oath was successfully said.

Hosh resolutely said yes. It was Wilona's turn to say she was willing, King Alaric suddenly touched his chest. Wilona was of course worried and tried to save her father who looked in pain. King Alaric refused. He asked Wilona to say she was willing to marry Hosh. The princess couldn't understand why, at a crucial moment like this, her father still wanted to see her marry Hosh.

With great hesitation, Wilona finally said what finally made her marriage legal. Just when the king collapsed and fell to his knees while holding his chest. Of course everyone gasped. Several officers immediately carried the king into the room.

Both of their weddings ended in shambles. The king suddenly had a sudden heart attack and is currently lying weak with various tubes attached to his body. He could see all his concubines crying as well as his children including Princess Wilona who had just gotten married.

“I don't know why, but I feel I have to finish Wilo and Hosh's wedding ceremony. I feel… maybe this is my only chance to see my daughter marry the right man. I probably… don't have much time left,” said King Alaric.

“What do you mean, my King? Everything will be fine. You'll be back to normal." Xivana's voice, the third concubine tried to comfort.

"Not. I know something is wrong with me. So with this I want to convey to you my will. I want… Xylia… you become the queen of the Zenith clan when I really go. I want you to serve until you die and that means Wilona and Hosh will be your future successors to the throne.”

“My King, please do not speak carelessly. You're not going anywhere.” Xylia held Alaric's hand.

“Xylia, I'm sure you will be a fair queen to all your people. I believe you can lead the Zenith clan well. You also still have Yuffie and Xivana if you want to complain. Of course you still have Wilona who can definitely help you. You also have a reliable son-in-law now.” King Alaric glanced at Hosh.

“Father, I know last time I went too far. It's just that after all, I really love you, Dad. I apologize for snapping at you.” Wilona was crying sitting on the side of the bed.

“Wilona, ​​the only way I can forgive you is for you to be kind to your husband. Trust me this time. He is the only man who will be so sincere and willing to do everything for you.”

“Well, please don't spoil this moment. I'm really sorry for snapping at you last time, but I've never regretted rejecting this marriage.” Wilona's tears suddenly dried up.

Wilona left with an irritated and annoyed heart. Even at the last moment like that, his father still put Hosh first and forced his will on Wilo. Everyone was still there and started crying because according to Professor Luke, King Alaric's condition kept getting worse. King Alaric specifically asked to be given another word with Hosh. They don't know what the king saw from the crippled man, but everyone was forced to agree.

“Your Majesty, is there anything you wish to tell me?” asked Hosh quickly walking closer.

“As I said before. I chose you not without reason. I want you to become the next leader of the Zenith clan. I also want you to be here to take care of Wilona and treat her as a wife. I'm pretty sure you can do it. The thing is, will you do that for me?” asked King Alaric with his heavy breath.

Hosh didn't answer right away. The king had always seemed so confident. Hosh didn't want to disappoint him. After a mature thought, the man reluctantly nodded. The king's condition is still very unstable now. He wanted to make sure the man was comfortable. “I will do so while you recover, Your Majesty.”

The king shook his head in response. “This is not ordinary heart pain and I can feel it. Someone did this to me on purpose, Hosh. Help me, if I die, find that person for me and repay his actions far more heinous than this."
