Arthur Leywin POV
I woke up the following morning feeling Someone gently shaking me awake. I opened my eyes groggily, and looked to the person laying next to me. I smiled when I saw Tess laying there, looking at me with her beautiful emerald eyes.
"Good morning Art, did you sleep well?" Tess asked as she shuffled closer to me.
"I did, especially with you keeping me company." I replied with a smile.
"*giggle* I'm glad to see I can help you sleep." Tess said blushing a little.
"Ya, except for when you snore, it's actually quite nice having you next to me." I said teasingly. Tess pouted at this, and pinched my side. Tess rolled over so her back was facing me.
"I do not snore." Tess said in a pouting tone.
I laughed at this, and gently grabbed her arm to roll her onto her back. She continued to look away from, me until I leaned over and kissed her cheek. Tess smiled at this, and hummed happily putting her in a good mood.
"Well it looks like you're feeling better. Are you excited about today?" I asked.
Tess looked back at me smiling as she nodded. "I am, although, I don't know what to do. I'm attending this wedding, but no one has asked me to be their date." Tess said in a dramatic tone.
I just looked at her, and gave a small laugh. "Why my dear Tess. Would you do me the great honor of going with me to the wedding." I said to match her dramatics. I saw as Tess bit her bottom lip containing a smile. She turned her body towards me, laying halfway on top of me with us laying face to face. I could see she was blushing while she looked at me.
"Why yes my dear Art, I would love to." Tess said as she finally broke a smile, and leaned down gently giving me a kiss. I smiled and looked at her as we broke the kiss.
"I can never get used to that." I said happily. Tess giggled and gave me another kiss before she rolled off of me.
"Ok come on, we have to get ready." Tess said.
Tess and I both rolled out of bed, and I picked up Sylvie who was still half asleep. 'Five more minutes papa'. Sylvie said mentally in a tired tone.
'No can do Sylv, we need to get ready for today. And we need to wash up.' I said to her mentally.
'No! No shower! I don't need one!' Sylvie complained.
'You stink Sylv, and it's for a wedding. We need to look nice.' I said mentally.
I could feel Sylvie pouting mentally through our bond. Tess walked over, and gave Sylvie a pet which earned a happy "Kyu". Tess and I laughed, and I placed Sylvie on top of my head.
"Alright Tess, I'm going go get ready. I'll see you later." I said as I began to walk away.
I felt a hand on my shoulder, stopping me in my tracks. I turned around, and was happily met by Tess who gave me one more kiss.
"One more goodbye kiss before you go." Tess said smiling as she broke the kiss. I smiled at her with my face feeling warm.
I walked out of Tess' bedroom, and closed the door behind me. I walked over to my room, and walked inside as I turned, still facing my door.
"Whew, woke up early enough so gramps didn't kn-"
"BAH!!"
"AHH!!" I yelled quickly turning around to see Gramps and two maids standing in my room, with a mannequin that was dressed up.
"Good morning brat, and where have you been?" Gramps asked with a raised brow.
I sheepishly scratched the back of my head. "I um, I was. Well you know." I started.
Gramps couldn't hold his serious facade any longer, before he broke into laughter.
"Hahahaha, don't worry brat. I had a feeling you were going to be spending the night with Tessia. I just hope you didn't forget about the cactus." Gramps said with a smirk.
A shiver ran down my spine as I shook my head vigorously.
"Nope, definitely didn't forget gramps." I said. Gramps nodded at this with a smug smile.
"Good, now these two maids will help you get ready. We already have a dress robe picked out for you." Gramps said as he motioned to the mannequin.
I looked at the mannequin, and it was covered in an olive green elven dress robe with silver lining. Gramps then turned to me.
"After you are ready, meet me in the ballroom, this way we can make sure everyone from the grooms party is present." Gramps said as I nodded.
Sebastian asked me to be in his grooms party which wasn't surprising. He and I got pretty close while adventuring, and I saw him as an older brother.
Gramps then turned to the two maids. "Alright ladies, I leave him in your hands." Gramps said as he opened the door to leave. But before he walked out, he turned back to me. "Oh and brat, just some advice, it's best not to resist. It goes by faster that way." Gramps said laughing as he closed the door.
I was a little confused by his statement until I saw the look in the maids eyes. "Lord Arthur, we have been asked to get you ready for this wedding, and that's just what we will do." One of the maids said giving a sinister smile. I gulped at this.
"Um ok, just let me wash up first." I said as I tried to walk past them. Key word, tried.
Both of the maids grabbed me by the shoulders. "Oh no my dear lord, we will be making sure you and your bonds hygiene is pristine." Both of the maids starting laughing, as they pushed me into the bathroom. Sylvie and I both mentally screamed, wanting to escape.

Sebastian Araic POV
I've killed hundreds of mana beasts, and gone on countless stealth missions. Fought in plenty of battles against slave traders, and bandits. Yet out of everything I have done, I've never been so nervous in my life.
"Nervous?" I heard a voice behind me say. I turned around and saw the queen and king approaching me.
"You're majesties." I said as I bowed.
"Rise Sebastian, there is no need for pleasantness. Especially after everything you have done for Tessia and Arthur." Queen Merial said with a smile, while king Alduin nodded in agreement.
I nodded back to them smiling. King Alduin walked up to me, and put his hand on my shoulder.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Not going to lie, I've never been so nervous." I replied scratching the back of my head.
They both gave a gentle laugh. "Don't worry Sebastian, she has already said yes to marrying you. Now you just have to make it through today." Queen Merial said with a warm smile.
"You also have to make it through the night. I hope you saved your energy." I heard a voice say.
I looked to my right towards the voice, and saw elder Virion approaching with a playful smile. My face felt a little warm, as I thought about being with Alea tonight after the wedding.
"Father, there is no need to tease him." King Alduin said as elder Virion laughed. Elder Virion then looked at me.
"Is your father here yet? I haven't seen him in awhile." Elder Virion said.
"Yes elder, he is actually in the courtyard making sure everything is ready with Olorin." I replied.
"Oh good, I'll go say hi to him, it's been awhile since we caught up." Elder Virion said as he walked off heading towards the courtyard.
Queen Merial then gave me a hug saying everything will be fine. King Alduin shook my hand, and they both walked off.
"They're right you know, everything will be fine." I turned around, and saw Aya standing behind me in a silver sleeveless dress. She walked up to me, looking me up and down. She gently helped adjust my dress robes a little. She then stepped back as she looked me up and down again, and gave an approving nod.
"You look good. She will be happy to see you." Aya said smiling.
"What, no playful seductiveness this time?" I said teasingly. Aya just smiled and shook her head.
"I know you love her with all your heart. Just make sure not to break hers, or..... I'll have to make sure your heart stops beating." Aya said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
I looked at her and laughed a little. "I'll make sure she stays happy, don't worry." I said. Aya gave a nod and a warm smile.
"Now if you don't mind, I have to go and make sure the bride is ready to go." Aya said as she walked off. I let out a breath, steadying my nerves. I then walked out to the courtyard to meet with my father and brother.

Alea Triscan
I was in my room with the maids putting on the finishing touches. I wore a beautiful white dress that hug my torso, to show off my curves and accent my chest. The dress fell down to my ankles, and had transparent sleeves with designs.
As the maids were finishing up, Aya walked in with Tessia. They were both wearing sleeveless silver dresses, that fell down to their ankles. The backs of their dresses were open, showing off their backs. I noticed Tessia's dress accented her hair. She had an emerald brooch that accented her eyes. Her hair was tied up showing the nape of her neck.
They both looked at me and smiled. "Alea, you look beautiful." Tessia said gushing at me. I smiled warmly at her.
"Thank you Tessia, you look good as well. Trying to impress Arthur?" I asked teasingly.
Tessia blushed and looked to the side. "Maybe." I heard her mumble, getting a laugh out of me and Aya. Aya then walked over and gave me a hug, making sure not to mess up my makeup.
"Are you excited?" She asked as we broke the hug.
"Yes, a little nervous though." I replied. Aya grabbed my shoulder and looked at me smiling.
"Don't be, Sebastian is nervous as well, but you are basically already married. You just need to make it through this." Aya said as I nodded smiling.
"Does Elion have everything ready?" I asked. Since Sebastian's father is the oldest of our families, he will be the one to officiate the wedding by elven tradition.
"He does, he is very happy for you two. Sebastian's just making sure he and elder Virion don't get into too much trouble." Aya said giggling, and I laughed a little.
"Elion? Where have I heard that name?" Tessia said as she looked down in thought. Then her eyes went wide in realization. "Wait... Elion as in the former lance?" Tessia asked shocked.
Aya and I laughed at her shocked expression, and we both nodded.
"Elion was a lance before either of us. He served alongside elder Virion during the war against the human race. That's how they know each other, and became very good friends." Aya said.
"But how, I thought there were only six of you because of the relics dad told me about." Tessia said.
"That's true, but after a certain amount of time we are no longer bound to the relic. So, Elion was able to retire with elder Virion's permission." I said.
"I didn't know that, does he have a white core like you?" Tessia asked. Aya and I both nodded.
As we stood there, the door to the room opened as queen Merial walked in. "Awe, you look beautiful Alea." She said as she walked in and gave me a hug.
"Thank you, your majesty." I said as we broke the hug.
Queen Merial then hugged Aya and Tessia as well. "Ok, everything is ready. Sebastian is at the alter with his two groomsman, Arthur and Olorin."
"Oh good, his brother made it, Sebastian was afraid he wouldn't." I said relieved.
"There was a time crunch, but he was able to come back in time from his mission." Queen Merial said happily.
"So Olorin is here huh?" Aya said smirking.
"Aya, no. You and Olorin in the same room together is a bad idea." I said narrowing my eyes at Aya. Aya just shrugged her shoulders looking to the side with a smirk. I just let out a sigh.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Queen Merial reassured me.
"I don't understand. Why can't they be in a room together?" Tessia asked.
Aya just smirked and said, "because he doesn't show restraint."
"Aya!" I yelled while she laughed. Queen Merial just giggled a little and shook her head.
We stood there in the room until the door opened, and one of the maids walked in.
"They're ready for you, lance Alea." The maid said smiling. I took a deep breath as we all walked out.

Tessia Eralith POV
Mom already went into the courtyard to join dad. I was standing at the entrance waiting for my turn to walk down the aisle before Alea does. I couldn't help but think about my future wedding, and seeing Arthur looking at me in a wedding dress.
"Ok Tessia, you're up." Alea said knocking me out of my thoughts.
I nodded at her, and nervously made my way down the aisle. A white silk carpet was laid down the middle, making up the aisle. Several rows of chairs were on either side, filled with guests. Potted and hanging flowers were decorated on both sides of the chairs.
At the end of the aisle was the altar, where a tall muscular older elf stood, which had to be Elion. He had the same eyes and hair as Sebastian. I saw Aya on the left side of the altar, looking at me as I walked down the aisle. Though, I could see her causally glancing at the man next to Sebastian who must be his brother, Olorin. Olorin had the same hair and eyes as Sebastian, but he seemed a little more muscular, and slightly taller.
Next to Olorin was someone who made my heart skip a beat. Art, who was staring at me blushing. I could see his eyes tracing me up and down, as he had a smile on his face. He wore an elegant olive green dress robe, with silver lining. Is there anything he doesn't look good in. Sitting next to him was Sylvie, who was groomed with a pink bow around her neck. I made my way to Aya, and stood to her side.
After I took my place next to Aya, I heard the music change. Everyone stood up from their seats, and looked at the entrance to the castle. We all watched as Alea came into view, with her shining white dress. A few gasps could be heard from the crowd, who were in awe of her beauty.
I looked over at Sebastian who was smiling warmly, with tears in his eyes. Olorin looked at Alea, then to Sebastian while giving him a nod with a smirk. He then whispered something in Sebastian's ear, which made him blush and elbow Olorin. I could hear Aya snickering, since she could probably hear what he said with sound magic.
I then looked at Art, and saw he wasn't even looking at Alea. His eyes were locked on me, while he was smiling with a blush. I couldn't help but smile and blush as well, as I looked away. Alea made her way to the altar where her and Sebastian took each others hands.
Once everyone was in place, everyone took their seats, and the ceremony started. Elion began talking about their unity, and Alea and Sebastian exchanged their vows.
"Alea, I promise I'll stand by you forever, and I will always be there for you. I promise I will always be a shoulder for you to cry on, and to wipe your tears away. Love brought us together, but our devotion and companionship will keep us together. I vow to cherish you, devote my life to you, and to always be true to you. I love you Alea." Sebastian said warmly.
I could see Alea smile as she tried not to cry. "That was beautiful." She said, getting a laugh out of the crowd. "Ah-em, ok my turn." Alea said recomposing herself.
"Sebastian, you are my inspiration, my love, and my everything. I cannot wait to spend a lifetime loving you. I vow to express my love for you as often as I breath. Although it is until death due us part, I know that we will never truly part, because our souls are made for each other. I love you, Sebastian." Alea said, trying her best not to cry.
Alea presented Sebastian with a silver bracelet, signifying their marriage.
"As the elder of both families, and with the power invested in me. Sebastian and Alea, I now pronounce you, Mr. and Mrs. Araric. Sebastian, you may kiss the bride." Elion said happily.
Sebastian and Alea smiled brightly, as they leaned forward, sharing a loving, deep kiss. Everyone stood up from their seats and clapped.
After the ceremony concluded, Alea and Sebastian made their way down the aisle to the Castle. Aya and Olorin then took each other's hands. Aya whispered something into Olorins ear. Olorin smirked, and whispered something back, which caused Aya of all people to blush.
Aya and Olorin then made their way down the aisle, leaving Art and I. I made my way to the center and met Art, who put his arm out. I hooked my arm around his, and smiled. It was then our turn, and we walked down the aisle while people stared at us. I couldn't help but feel happy at this, thinking about when I get married.
After everything was done, we held the reception in the castle ballroom, where we had food and drinks. The music was playing, and people were dancing. I was sitting to mom's left at the royal table, as Art sat to my left. Gramps sat to the right of dad, at the end of the table. As we were sitting down, a slow song started.
I looked around the room, and saw a few people make their way to the dance floor. A part of me wished Art would ask me to dance, but I didn't think he knew how. As I watched them make their way to the floor, my eyes fell on mom. I saw mom smirking, as she looked behind me.
I turned around following her gaze, and saw Art standing behind me with a smile. "Tess, would you join me for this dance?" Art asked as he stuck his hand out.
I smiled as my heart skipped a beat, and stood up taking his outreached hand. "I would love to." I said happily.
I was a little nervous since I thought I might need to take the lead for the dance. But as soon as we made our way to the dance floor, Art started to move with the rhythm with ease. I was surprised at this since I've never seen Art take dance lessons.
"Why are you so surprised?" He asked with a smirk.
"I-I didn't think you knew how to dance." I said blushing.
"I didn't, I asked mother to help show me how, so that I could dance with you at the wedding." He said with a warm smile.
I smiled back at him, thinking about how he learned how to dance just for me. I couldn't help but feel happy at this, and I subconsciously wrapped my hand around the back of his head. I pulled Art close, and pressed my lips to his, as we shared a deep kiss. I felt absolute bliss dancing with Art, feeling his lips against mine.
I thought I heard a few gasps and whistles, but I ignored them. I then broke the kiss, and leaned my head against Arts shoulder as we continued with our slow dance.
"You look beautiful Tess." I heard Art say.
"You don't look to bad yourself." I responded.
We stayed on the dance floor for a couple of songs, before we both got tired. We sat back down at the royal table, and I heard Aya whisper in my ear.
"Bold move, way to go." I looked across the room at Aya, who was smirking while giving me a thumbs up. I smiled and looked down, as mom gave me a side hug.
"I'm so happy for you two." Mom whispered in my ear.
"Thanks mom." I said with a blush.
The rest of the reception went by smoothly. We all stood at the castle entrance saying goodbye to Alea and Sebastian, as their carriage awaited them. I watched as Aya gave Alea a hug. I heard her whisper "don't forget what I told you", getting a blush out of Alea. But instead of being embarrassed, Alea looked at Sebastian, and nodded at Aya with a smirk.
Alea and Sebastian made their way to the carriage, and we all watched as they rode off.

Aya Grephin POV
A little 18+ here
After Sebastian and Alea left, I was helping with some of the clean up. I took down some of the flower decorations that were all around the courtyard.
I made my way into the ballroom, and picked up some of the plates. I brought the plates into the kitchen, and placed them into the sink.
"Thank you, lance Aya." One of the maids said as she left to go help clean up some more.
I was about to leave when a voice stopped me. "What is a pretty lance like you, doing handling dirty plates." A smile formed on my face as I recognized the voice.
"What's a soldier like you, doing stalking me in the dark." I retorted as I turned around to see Olorin standing behind me. I leaned back against the kitchen counter, as I looked at him up and down.
"It's my job to make sure the royal family is safe from all enemies, no matter their size, race..... or beauty." Olorin said as he slowly approached me, as his eyes trailed down my body. I smirked at this.
"Does the great captain Araic see something he likes." I teased.
He got even closer to me, as he placed his hands on my hips. "I don't know, I haven't seen everything yet." He whispered.
I couldn't help but flinch a little. Olorin was the only person who actually reciprocated my advances, and now I was nearing the point of no return.
"Careful, those are strong words, that mean nothing unless you actually act on th-" I didn't event finish my sentence as Olorin pressed his lips to mine. I didn't even think as I returned the kiss, and wrapped my arms around his neck.
It started as a simple kiss, but we started to vigorously make out. We both opened our mouths, as our tongues danced around each other. Olorin quickly grabbed me by my rear, lifting me up onto the table as I gave a small moan.
Olorin stopped kissing me on my lips, as he slowly moved towards my neck. I moved my head to the side, giving him more access. I felt every kiss and nip, sending shockwaves down my body.
Olorin slowly pulled down the straps of my dress, as I slipped my arms through. Olorin pulled the dress down, revealing my black bra. I took my arms away from his neck, as I hiked up my dress, and spread my legs. Olorin placed himself between my legs, as he continued to kiss my neck, causing me to moan.
Olorin's left hand trailed down my arm, as his left hand grabbed my breast. He massaged my breast over my bra causing me to moan louder. Olorin's right hand trailed down lower, down my body. I felt his right hand reach my inner thigh, as he grabbed me between my legs as I let out a moan.
I reached my hands out, as I grabbed the tent in Olorin's pants. I felt Olorin flinch a little, as he nipped my neck, and massaged my breast harder. I grabbed and started to undo his belt, and unbutton his pants. Olorin's right hand moved my panties to the side, revealing my entrance. I felt as he traced my entrance with his finger, sending shivers up my spine.
I reached my hand down Olorin's pants, as I grabbed his hard shaft. Olorin let go of my breast, as she grabbed the waist line of my panties. He began to pull down my panties, as I began to pull down his pants, when the kitchen door suddenly flung open.
"Damnit Olorin, I knew I should've put a bell on your ass." Olorin and I quickly broke apart and we fixed ourselves, as Elion and elder Virion both walked in.
Elder Virion let out a laugh. "told you." Elder Virion said as he held out his hand. Elion rolled his eyes as he took out a bag of gold, and placed it in elder Virion's hands.
"Damn, I should've known better then to bet against you. Olorin, let's go!" Elion said.
Olorin sighed, and looked at me with a smile. "next time." Olorin whispered. I couldn't help but blush, as he walked away with his father.
"It was good to see you Elion, till next time." Elder Virion said as they left. He then looked at me and smirked. I looked away slightly embarrassed.
"Good to see you're having fun." Elder Virion said as he left laughing, causing me to blush even more.

Arthur Leywin POV
I went to my room after the reception was finished, since gramps said we would be waking up early tomorrow to get ready to go to Xyrus. I placed Sylvie on the bed, as I went to the bathroom to get washed up and changed into sleep wear.
After I got changed, I went over the stuff I needed for Xyrus. As I was going over everything, my door opened, and Tess walked in wearing her sleep wear.
"Hey Tess." I said happily with a smile.
"Hey Art, I guess Aya is busy, she didn't stop me this time." She said with a smug smile.
We both gave off a small laugh. I looked at the stuff I was looking over, and decided it could wait till tomorrow.
"Come on, let's get to bed, we have a big day tomorrow." I said getting a nod from Tess.
We laid down in the bed, and Tess laid her head on my shoulder while putting her arm across my chest.
"Did you have fun today?" Tess asked.
"Ya I did, the best part was when I got to dance with you." I said.
I could feel Tess scrunch up a little bit. "I love you Art." I heard her say.
I blushed at this and smiled. "I love you too." I said.
Tess looked up at me, and gave me a deep kiss before she laid her head back down on my shoulder.
"Promise you'll love me forever?" She asked as she looked up at me with a smile.
One word came to mind as I looked at her. I gave her a warm smile, as I leaned down giving her another deep kiss. We broke the kiss, and I stared at her in the eyes as I spoke.
"Always."
