Chapter 35: A Day Fit for a Wedding

Once the wedding date was confirmed, everything was handed over to Lady Resa for preparation. She was overjoyed—after all, as one of the Empire’s top socialites, she could finally plan her son’s wedding. And not just any wedding, but the wedding of the Empire’s Crown Prince. It was a national event.

Sade and Lin You remained busy with their respective duties. Even though they now lived together, they only got to see each other at night. Especially after announcing the wedding date, a flood of invitations came rushing in under the guise of congratulatory events. Though Sade didn’t want to attend most of them, these matters were filtered by General Allen—he didn’t have the authority to refuse arbitrarily.

The only thing he insisted on was not bringing Lin You along. Social functions like these would only tire Lin You out, and more importantly, Sade didn’t want too many people to see how beautiful Lin You was. At the root of it, it was still his possessiveness talking. So Lin You would eat alone at home, waiting for him to return after the engagements. Aside from that, their little domestic life was quite peaceful and satisfying.

March was lovely in early spring, but the chill of late winter still lingered. Thus, the wedding was scheduled in April, when the white pear blossoms and pink peach buds began to sprout new green leaves. At Starlight Manor, a riot of blooms painted the scenery with vivid purples and reds. The entire garden of cherry blossoms seemed to burst in celebration, their warm pink hues welcoming the happy couple. Every tree and blade of grass seemed to have made a pact, offering their tender greenery to bless the newlyweds, wishing them a life full of vitality and prosperity.

The ceremony was held in the garden of Starlight Manor, beneath a delicately constructed floral arch. It was simple but elegant—only a select number of close friends and family were invited. From Sade’s side, the guests included the Queen and Lady Resa’s extended family. Lin You invited Feng Qing.

Sade wore his formal Crown Prince military ceremonial uniform, while Lin You donned a simple yet graceful white wedding outfit.

The ceremony was officiated by Queen Aishia. Before her, Sade and Lin You exchanged rings and vows. Sade swore to love and cherish Lin You forever, promising to love, honor, protect, and care for him, no matter what storms or tides came their way, always by his side. Lin You vowed to support Sade, to care for him, stand by him, and provide all the strength he would ever need, through sickness and health, in both joy and hardship.

Then, in front of all their loved ones, they shared a kiss.

The entire event was solemn and heartwarming. Lady Resa cried. The Queen’s eyes turned red, though she fought to hold it back. General Allen, caught between the two most important Omegas in his life, stood helplessly, unsure who to comfort first. He looked back and saw that even the children in Lady Resa’s family were crying—and laughing—all at once, turning the scene into a chaotic mix of giggles and tears.

Sade accompanied Lin You to greet High Priest Heather, who had come to attend the ceremony. Maintaining the Heavenly Canopy System meant he rarely left the temple, so it was a rare honor to have him at Starlight Manor today. Along with him came High-level Priest Lian, one of the few people from the temple who was close to Lin You. He had watched Lin You grow up and had guided him in developing his mental power since childhood.

“Thank you, High Priest Heather and Priest Lian, for gracing our humble abode with your presence today to attend our wedding ceremony. We are truly honored and blessed,” Sade said.

“Thank you, High Priest. Thank you, Priest Lian,” Lin You also followed up with gratitude.

“Congratulations to the both of you on your marriage,” High Priest Heather replied with a rare smile on his face, appearing genuinely in good spirits.

“Congratulations, wishing you a harmonious union that lasts a hundred years,” Priest Lian said joyfully. He was truly happy for Lin You and sincerely wished him well.

“High Priest, Priest Lian, thank you again for coming. Please forgive us if we have failed in any part of our hospitality,” General Allen came over to greet them as well. Although he wasn’t particularly close with the High Priest personally, they had known each other since childhood. Their mutual respect and shared dedication to duty had created a bond akin to that between comrades-in-arms.

“There’s no need to be so formal, General. But with temple affairs being so busy, we can’t stay long. I apologize for that. We’ve prepared a small token of congratulations for the newlyweds.” High Priest Heather handed Lin You a plain, unadorned box. Without lingering, he and Priest Lian departed to return to the temple.

After the ceremony ended smoothly, the wedding banquet was hosted by the Queen at the royal palace, where nobles, business elites, and scholars from all sectors of the Empire were invited. It was attended by virtually all of the Empire’s most important figures.

To ensure security, several high-ranking priests were specially requested to set up a small heavenly canopy system within the palace. Inside the dome, the use of mental power was prohibited, and all weapons would be automatically detected and excluded, establishing a high level of security.

During the banquet, Lin You and Sade stood like life-sized cutouts—smiling, nodding, and receiving congratulations. Sade managed well enough since he had already met most of the nobility through his early state affairs training. Lin You, however, was more reclusive and unfamiliar with most guests, so he simply smiled politely.

Toward the latter part of the banquet, the Queen excused herself for some rest. Sade’s family stood by the banquet hall doors to send off guests one by one. Lin You recognized a few familiar faces—those same people who once drank and joked around with Sade. Memories he had long tried to bury began resurfacing, and Lin You made a mental note: he needed to ask Sade about those days. He had to know why Sade had seemed so dissatisfied with him back then. It was time to resolve that lingering issue.

Lately, the relationship between Sade and Lin You had deepened, and their rapport had grown more harmonious. That gave Lin You the courage to speak up. Now that their hearts were aligned, even if Sade had once been unhappy with their pairing, it probably didn’t matter anymore. Still, he wanted to bring closure to that part of their past.

After the banquet, Sade and Lin You returned to Starlight Manor for their wedding night. Lady Resa had prepared the newlyweds’ bedroom in advance. They planned to stay a few days at Sade’s villa before heading off on their honeymoon.

The couple arrived at Sade’s small suite—well, now it should be called their room. Lady Resa had redecorated it with red, gold, and white as the main color scheme, adding festive but tasteful decorations throughout. The bedroom featured rose-red bedding, and the large bathtub had already been filled with warm water, soothing essential oils, and rose petals. After changing out of their formal wear, they could finally unwind.

The entire wedding day had been like a grand fireworks display—brilliant, dazzling, and unforgettable. And now that it was over, everything was gradually returning to peaceful normalcy. Fortunately, they still had their honeymoon trip to look forward to.

Still somewhat dazed from the day’s events, Sade was brought back to the present when Lin You approached him, holding a spiral-shaped golden earring.

At first glance, the earring looked rather plain. But once Lin You infused a bit of his mental power into it, the earring floated slowly in the air, rotating gently as it emitted a hazy, multicolored glow.

“Sade, look. This is a mental power storage device. No one knows who crafted it. Even with our current level of technology, it’s still difficult to make something like this,” Lin You explained.

“Priest Lian told me that when I was abandoned at the temple gates, aside from my clothes, this was the only item on me.”

“I’ve stored some of my mental power inside. Of course, if you want, you can also infuse your own. But if it contains mine, and you wear it, I’ll be able to sense your condition at any time. In case of danger, it can even activate and form a protective barrier, capable of blocking a certain level of attack. Because of our class compatibility, the only spiritual power that would work for you besides your own is mine.”

“I may not have the ability to give you a big diamond ring, but I can give you this. I hope it will deepen the bond between us.”

While Lin You explained, the earring continued to hover in the air. Sade immediately understood—this earring was likely the only keepsake left behind by Lin You’s birth family. It was irreplaceable.

“Y-You… this is too precious. I…” Sade’s throat tightened. He hesitated, knowing full well what this meant. This could very well be the only thing Lin You had from his origins.

“It’s not,” Lin You replied softly. “If you’re willing to wear it, even though it means I can monitor your condition, it would give me peace of mind.” Lin You had never been one to cling to the past. Rather than pining for unknown parents he had never met, he valued the family he had now—Sade.

Sade was deeply moved. His heart felt full—how could his Lin You be so good to him? Without hesitation, he immediately put on the earring. Although the earring didn’t look particularly special on its own, once it was on Sade, its golden tone matched perfectly with his blond hair and golden eyes—it suited him very well.

Seeing Sade wear the earring, Lin You felt a rush of happiness and relief. A strange yet profound sense of satisfaction surged from deep within his heart. They were married now. This man was his husband—no longer someone others could covet or try to take away.
