BXBX NOVEL Chapter 87 - 4.21
A week after they had returned back to Great Arctyr, Layla had slowly recovered and seemed to be in good health. She looked calmer than before, but she seemed to be in peace. Meanwhile, it was Lyon who seemed to be living in sadness from days to days.
Nobody really knew the reason for his sadness, except himself, Javier, and Layla.
Yunyu was sitting alone in a pavilion. He still couldn\'t let go the sadness in his heart, Although Layla repeatedly told him that she was alright and would return stronger than ever, but it was him who felt like a failure.
He really wanted to protect the baby, he thought, at least, in this world he would be able to protect a baby. But he was still as powerless as he was in his real world.
[Pupa: Host, remember not to get too attached with a world, because we have a lot of worlds to visit. It will be hard to suppress your emotions in the next world.]
[I know… I just… I really want to protect the baby. I saw how my mother was mourning for her unborn child. Even though Layla is a strong woman, I can\'t help feeling depressed over it…]
Meanwhile, Javier was watching Big bro Lyon from afar with a bouquet of roses, standing stupidly while holding the letter that was written by Layla. Layla pushed him and warned him, "Don\'t forget my word, you must tell him the stuff we\'ve discussed before!"
Javier gulped. He was nervous, he was afraid that Big brother Lyon would reject him because he was still grieving, but Layla kept pressuring him, because she didn\'t want her brother to be depressed for too long. It was never his fault to begin with, in fact, Lyon was trying his best to help her, it was time for her to help.
He was so nervous that he forgot all the lines he had practiced with Layla last night. He walked unnaturally through the garden to the pavilion.
Lyon glanced at Javier who had entered the pavilion, and he chuckled, "Did Layla send you?"
"N—No!" Javier shook his head. He tried to dodge it by kneeling in front of Lyon, "I—I come here by my own will, I swear!"
Lyon chuckled as he was amused, "Then, tell me, what lines have you practiced last night?"
"I—Uhm…" Javier already forgot the lines in his head, he usually had an excellent memory, he was also a prodigy like his Papa Aster! But whenever he was in front of Big bro Lyon, he would be dumber than a brainless donkey.
"Alright then, give me the letter first," Lyon said. Javier gave the letter that had been written by Layla. Lyon laughed low when he read the letter, it was full of flowery words that only a girl could write. Javier would never be able to write such a thing.
Lyon smiled and put the letter to the envelope again, "This is the third letter that Layla wrote, and this is also the third time you are kneeling like this. Javi, are you not tired?"
"B—Because I don\'t know how to make you happy again…" Javier said truthfully. He was worried about his Big brother Lyon who was in a bad mood for days. He tried many things, and this was indeed his third time \'proposing.\'
Lyon sighed, his sister insisted for him to rush the marriage with Javier. She said that it would bring her the greatest joy. Lyon stared at Javier who was kneeling with a bouquet of roses on his hand. The roses were freshly plucked, although he was rough, Javier had surprisingly delicate fingers with fingers. Maybe it was inherited from his Papa Aster.
[Javier is so adorable… he brings me good mood, I guess.]
[Pupa: Then, you should accept his proposal, maybe his Breakmeter will rise.]
[His Breakmeter will definitely complete once we share our first wedding kiss.]
Lyon extended his hand and carefully accepted the bouquet. Javier looked up expectantly, he thought this would be another failure. He dared not asking brazenly, "Uhm… Big brother Lyon is still mourning. But I want to make you happy, so I, uhm… you don\'t need to answer this now, Javi will always wait for—"
"I do. Javier Di Arlingdon, I do."
"…"
***
Two months later, Golden Camellia, Sun Kingdom. and Great Arctyr, three nations were shocked by the sudden announcement from Master Aster and Master Rama, alongside the Great Palace. Prince Javier Di Arlingdon, The Golden Sun of Two Nations, would be betrothed to Crown Prince Lyon Hessel Signe, instead of Princess Layla.
They always saw Prince Javier and Princess Layla as the ideal couple, how could the evil brother suddenly barge in and steal the spot of his twin sister? Rumor spread that Crown Prince Lyon was secretly threatening his twin sister, Princess Layla, so he could marry Prince Javier.
People slandered him in secret, and the next time Lyon, Layla, and Javier showed up in public, Lyon was slandered by the people by their loud whispers. Lyon looked calm and uncaring, but Layla looked worried.
Javier couldn\'t handle the criticism directed to his betrothed, he stood up for him and said loudly in front of the people, "I, Prince Javier Di Arlingdon, swear that I love Prince Lyon with all my heart! I\'ve been in love with him ever since we were kids! Who dares slandering him?!"
Layla also stood up for her twin brother and added, "Prince Javier and I are no more than friends! In fact, I am the one who keeps pushing Prince Javier to my twin brother, because I know that they love each other!"
The crowds were silenced. They were silently fighting for the love between Prince Javier and Princess Layla, but if the two confirmed themselves that they were not in love with each other, then what could they do?
In the next eight months, three countries were busy preparing for the administration for this grand wedding, because both grooms-to-be would be the king of their respective kingdoms, so it was big news in the continent.
When the day had come, Javier and Lyon were walking side by side on the aisle. They were wearing matching suits, only differing in color. Javier wore a black suit while Lyon wore a white one. The aisle was filled with flower petals in various colours. There were many familiar faces clapping their hands at them, Layla, Papa Aster and Rama, Father Tuskan, Aunt Mariette, and even the current Emperor and Empress of Golden Camellia and Sun Kingdom, Emperor Ardent and Sun King Arya.
[Ah… I can\'t believe I will get married in one world like this…]
[Pupa: What? Do you regret it?]
[Nah, I want my marriage with Han Ye to be as spectacular and beautiful as this, hehe.]
Javier and Lyon walked to the wedding altar together. According to their custom, Javier needed to recite the sacred Oath of Camellia first. But he was nervous and couldn\'t focus, he thought it was only in his wildest dream that he would get married to Big brother Lyon…
Lyon smiled at Javier, he held his hand and recited the Oath of Camellia first, "Javier Di Arlingdon, by the Oath of Camellia, I, Lyon Hessel Signe, swear my fidelity to you. I entrusted everything I have, my life, my love and my heartbeat to you. Under the Oath of Camellia, you are the only one and I will die withered by my lie if I dare to violate the oath."
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 70%.]
Javier felt emotional after Lyon initiated the Oath of Camellia. It proved that he was serious about this wedding, thus, Javier also did the same, "Lyon Hessel Signe, by the Oath of Camellia, I, Javier Di Arlingdon, swear my fidelity to you. I entrusted everything I have, my life, my love and my heartbeat to you. Under the Oath of Camellia, you are the only one and I will die withered by my lie if I dare to violate the oath."
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 80%.]
Javier a legendary flower called Gardenia of Blooming Desire, a flower that was pink and white on the edges, "It took me eight months of non stop searching for this…"
"I told you, you don\'t need to do something like this," Lyon said. Then he smiled, "But I appreciate it."
Javier blushed as he put the flower on Lyon\'s lips. His hand circled around Lyon\'s waist gently and he pulled Lyon to his embrace. He lowered his head and his lips touched the flower. The small kiss soon turned into a passionate kiss, their lips tried to reach each other\'s and the petal of the legendary flower fell one by one.
When the last gardenia petal fell to the ground and their lips met, the audience clapped loud as the grooms had finished the gardenia kiss ritual.
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 90%.]
After the kiss, Javier seemed to be impatient. His body was hot all over. He hurriedly carried Lyon on his arm as his bride, and they left the aisle to the bridal chamber. It was also a custom for the newlyweds in Golden Camellia to do the \'thing\' as soon as possible, because they believed that their fertility was at peak right after they got married.
Javier carried Lyon to the bridal chamber that had been prepared, they walked through the corridor. Lyon smiled at Javier who seemed to be impatient, "Do you want a son, daughter, or twins?"
"I want all of them! We will make lots of babies!" Javier said excitedly.
Lyon nodded and he snuggled on Javier\'s chest, "I love you, Javier. I will never leave you."
[This is it, we have finished the fourth world peacefully, yay! Let\'s go system, pack things up and leave!]
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 92… 93… 94… 95%.]
[Wait… wait, wait, why not 100%?!]
Yunyu stared at impatient Javier and he nervously uttered his undying love again, "I love you Javier, I will never leave you."
"I love you too, wife." Javier said determinedly, he quickened his steps to the bridal chamber. But Yunyu didn\'t hear anymore Breakmeter notification from the system. Yunyu started panicking.
[C—CHOTTO MATTE!!]
"I—I love you, husband. I really do."
Javier opened the bridal chamber and put Lyon on the bed gently, he grinned sheepishly, "I love you too, wife. We will have many children in the future. Let\'s do this."
[EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—.]
