Morgan Shangguan looked at Chloe Chu, raising an eyebrow. "So?"
"So, since he’s already taken everything, shouldn’t he take responsibility?"
Ethan Gray finally spoke, "I never said I wouldn’t take responsibility."
Hearing this, Chloe Chu immediately beamed, pulling Damien along. "Damien, Yuna is getting married! I finally get to be the elder at the ceremony! I’ve never had that chance in this life—or the last!"
Ethan Gray glanced at Yuna in his arms. Marriage? Yes, it was time for that.
Excited, Chloe Chu began directing the servants of Ghost King's Manor to prepare for the wedding. Seeing her enthusiasm, Morgan Shangguan and Damien Gray naturally didn’t compete for the task.
And so, Damien could only watch the two relaxed couples, sighing again and again. Still, seeing Chloe Chu so happy, he didn’t want to spoil her mood, so he lingered alone among the pairs, playing the third wheel and wandering back and forth.
As the Dark Lord, his wedding was naturally grand. Everyone from the court and the martial world—whether invited or not—showed up. By rights, with Lord Dark’s prestige in Silvermoon Kingdom, Emperor Augustus should have attended in person. But Augustus truly didn’t want to face Damien Gray, so he simply sent a mountain of treasures and hid away in the palace.
Looking at the two couples seated at the elders’ table, many guests began to wonder—were these four really the parents of the bride and groom? They looked far too young!
Those familiar with the family were more curious about Yuna, the Divine Beast turned bride. The most curious of all was Maxwell Jing!
Damien Gray burst out laughing, delighted. Maxwell Jing grinned widely at Ethan Gray’s misfortune, and the others, trying to be polite, struggled to hold back their laughter—no one wanted to risk angering the Lord of Shadows.
Ethan Gray’s face darkened. He roared, “Don’t you dare!”
Yuna snorted. “Oh, I dare. What are you going to do about it? If you bully me, I’ll climb out the window!”
Ethan Gray was so furious he was practically steaming. “Who taught you to climb out the window, huh?”
Morgan Shangguan glanced thoughtfully at Damien Gray, who was laughing at Ethan’s predicament. She’d meant to ask him about something he’d mentioned to the kitten last time—could it be this?
Just as she suspected, Yuna lifted her chin and declared, “Father-in-law said so! Both my father-in-law and mother-in-law will support me!”
Morgan Shangguan rubbed her temples. This had nothing to do with her!
At that, Ethan Gray’s fiery gaze landed on Damien Gray. It looked like the two might actually come to blows. Morgan Shangguan wanted to step in, but Chloe Chu, ever the mischief-maker, hurried to Yuna’s side, producing a ring and whispering, “Yuna, there’s plenty of food stored in this spatial ring. With it, you’ll never go hungry whether you run away or climb out the window.” See how thoughtful she was—always caring for her daughter!
Though her family was far away, with Yuna’s abilities, hardly anyone could bully her. So Chloe Chu wasn’t worried at all—she was just joining in the fun.
She spoke softly, but even Morgan Shangguan and Damien Gray heard her loud and clear. Did Ethan Gray really miss it?
Morgan Shangguan couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for her son. It was his big day, and yet he’d been driven to this. Seeing her concern, Damien Gray stopped meddling—after all, Ethan was his son, and he wouldn’t go too far.
As for everything he’d done, Damien Gray didn’t think he’d gone too far at all.
Ethan Gray was truly exasperated. With elders like these, he couldn’t really fight it out with them. But being patient only made him so angry he could cough up blood. He was seriously considering challenging his old man to a proper duel one day!
Actually, dealing with Damien Gray would be easy—his father’s greatest weakness was his mother. But Ethan didn’t want their father-son quarrels to affect his mother, so every time he held back, letting that old fox drive him half mad.
Morgan Shangguan exchanged a look with Roxy Shangguan, who smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, why don’t we arrange a betrothal for our children?”
She only meant to lighten the mood, but Morgan Shangguan and Chloe Chu immediately objected in unison, “No way!”
Roxy Shangguan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. “Oh, right. Close relatives can’t get married.”
Yuna nodded under her veil, then added, “It’s not a big deal. If it comes to that, I’ll just change bodies.” Her royal father had already turned her into a cat once—switching bodies wouldn’t be that hard.
Roxy Shangguan frowned, “No way! My son with Quentin is definitely going to be handsome and charming—I don’t want to switch bodies.”
Yuna asked curiously, “How do you know you’re having a son?”
“I just know.”
Morgan Shangguan and Chloe Chu exchanged glances, thoughtful. Though they had their suspicions, neither asked—what did it matter if someone was from another world? They were happy now, and that was enough.
Ethan Gray’s wedding was anything but easy—first the bride wanted to lift her veil in front of the guests, then she threatened to bar the groom from the bridal chamber, then she talked about climbing out the window, then came the betrothal talk, and finally, the debate about sons versus daughters. The arguments never ended.
After much trouble, they finally finished the wedding ceremony and entered the bridal chamber. Ethan Gray could only stare helplessly—Yuna was already expecting, and he didn’t want to risk anything happening.
The dramatic scenes from the wedding spread quickly. The Lord of Shadows’ wedding became the talk of the town, and Ethan Gray made up his mind: once Yuna had their baby, he’d definitely challenge that old fox Damien Gray to a proper duel!
