For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 72



Chapter 72

" How is the restoration of your territory, Marques Ruess? "

After he has received the other party's congrats, Fletcher carried on with the conversation by asking his guest about casual things.

" ah. Yes, thanks to the crown prince there was no much damage and the restoration is proceeding smoothly "

Baxter Ruess had slight redness on his face. Around two months ago, the Ruess territory was attacked by an A-class beast. Since Bernard was out of the Empire at that time, Lennox took care of the matter. Actually, Jennings has shamelessly thrown all Barnard's duties on Lennox, leaving the easy ones for Bernard's secretary.

" glad to hear- "

Fletcher stopped as he felt something warping around his thigh.

" Ah! It's the mister who doesn't understand! Hello mister "

Baxter Ruess's eyebrow twitched as he forced a smile at Everly.

" Everly? Why are you not with his majesty? "

" uncle handsome, do you know where Edgar is? "

Everly released Fletcher's thigh and shifted her grip to his hand. She warped her tiny hands on Fletcher's fingers, one on the thumb other on the pinkie. Causing a soft blush to appear on his cheek.

" He is probably with either Franklin or Erwin "

Hearing that, Everly slowly pulled the man's hand, urging him to follow her.

" Then let's hurry. Bye-bye, mister! "

"....bye bye I guess? "

******

" We are leaving, why did you bring the Welfmore mass? "

" it's for the wedding! "

Everly excitedly exclaimed as she swung the arm which held on Edgar's hand. Bernard and Jennings who were out of reach for a while, finally snapped out of it. Jennings smiled as he said with his usual gentle tone.

" Fletcher? Why are you here? Where is your bride? "

" Catherine left somewhere with the princess, your majesty"

Erwin answered instead, both he and Franklin were content that Everly came looking for them. Everly let go of Fletcher's hand and held Lennox's instead, now she swung both of her arms.

"  Brother Ba! Let's go find the priestess!! "

" eh? Why? "

"Fooooor the wedding!! "

Happily shouting that, Everly pulled Edgar and Lennox into her flowery background. Bernard had a hunch of what his sister had in mind but decided to brush that thought of his mind.

" baby girl, Fletcher and Catherine's wedding is already over "

With a serious face, Everly shook her head as she responded to Bernard.

" no, no. Not that wedding "

Then she raised both her arms while still holding into two people's hands.

" this wedding! "

"....?! " 7

Instantly, Lennox's face darkened while cold sweat appeared on Edgar's forehead. As expected, Everly did not ignore Lennox's circlet but was plotting to couple him with Edgar.

The brief moment of silence was followed by a loud wave of laughter that crossed the entire hall. Lennox pulled his hand from Everly's grip. It was the first time he had ever shaken her away, that's why Everly looked at her empty hand in disbelief which quickly turned to dejection.

" Ah, little one. Things don't work like that "

" But why? Lennox wanted a mate, and Edgar likes Lennox. So why not? "

The laughters grew even louder, all the guests at the hall were whispering to each other. Although they couldn't hear what was said, it's obvious that the groom's family decided to ruin the wedding celebration.

Jennings looked at the people around him. There were Bernard, Franklin and Erwin laughing like lunatics. Fletcher was trying his best to not laugh or smile, Everly looked depressed and his son for some reason was using the edge of his cloak to cover his nose.

But what made his heart sink was the sight of the trembling Edgar. Sure enough, no one wants to be on the crown prince's bad side, but Jennings knows that what made Edgar so nervous was because he admires Lennox.

" Listen, little one. Lennox and Edgar are still young for marriage, plus they are both are boys so things are a bit off. Later, when Lennox grows up and chooses his bride-"

" that won't happen "

Jennings ignored his son's interpretation and continued to speak to the little girl.

" -I will make sure that Evey is the first one to know. Hm? "

Everly wasn't satisfied, but what Jennings said still convinced her. She received a kiss from Jennings, then headed to her brother who was busy trying to stop laughing before he suffocates and raised her arms for him to hold her up.

Jennings patted Edgar on the head as he whispered:" things are alright, no need to worry ". He then turned to his son.

" And you, why are you covering your nose? "

" There is something in the air "

It has been long since Lennox last sticked to Everly this close. He has been inhaling her strong jasmine scent for two hours that he got a headache.

" in the air? What is it? "

" stupidity "

"...."

And of course, there is no need to explain everything, Lennox brushed that matter aside and quickly urged Jennings.

" old man, let's just leave "

Hearing that, Fletcher returned to his sense.

" leaving your highness? Please stay for a little while. It's still early "

" no. We are leaving. The volume is over "
