Chapter 600: Chapter 166: All Guests Arrive _5
Ballon laughed helplessly, "My silly son, just look at the time now, Yue Yue might not even be awake yet. Why are you in such a hurry? Can a wife who is already within your reach run away?"
Ballon’s handsome face blushed as he said awkwardly, "I... I’m just too anxious. I really wish I could marry Yue Yue right now. When I found out a few days ago that Yue Yue was going to marry me, I couldn’t believe it! I used to think that she would never forgive me because of that incident... Uh... I indeed went too far with that. But, I did it all for Yue Yue." Recalling the sight of Ah Dai spewing blood when he first left the Elf Forest, Ballon felt a wave of sadness and guilt in his heart.
Luo Shui dismissively said, "If you want to get what you desire, sometimes you have to stop at nothing, Ballon. You didn’t do anything wrong, and so far, it proves that your choice was right. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a wedding between you and Yue Yue today. Don’t belittle yourself in the future. Sometimes, you need to do what you need to do, even if it involves low means, but achieving your goal is the most important."
Ballon and his son stared blankly at Luo Shui, neither of them uttered a word. Luo Shui realized her slip of tongue and hurriedly remedied the situation, "Sometimes, you need to make any move necessary for your own happiness. Why are you two staring at me like this? Did I grow flowers on my face?"
Ballon solemnly said, "Wife, such words should not be said again in the future. We are not people from the Dark Forces. As a representative of holiness and justice, the Court should make its choices openly and honorably. If your words just now reached the ears of the Pope, it would bring disaster to our entire family. I will consider it as a slip of the tongue, and haven’t heard anything, but there must be no next time. Ballon, what you did last time was indeed way too excessive. I don’t want to see the same thing happen again."
This was the first time Luo Shui saw her husband so serious, unconsciously lowering her head. A faint chill flashed through her beautiful eyes as she murmured, "In my heart, I know that the happiness of my husband and son is the most important. I am not one of the Goddesses in your court. You better refrain from lecturing me."
Ballon frowned and said, "What do you mean you’re not one of the court? You are my wife. I am the Deputy Judge of the court. As the family member of a clergyman, you must hold yourself to the standards of a Church member. Ah Shui, what’s gotten into you today?" At that moment, Ballon had a sudden feeling of unease, as if the wife he loved deeply in front of him seemed somewhat strange.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between his parents, Ballon hurriedly said, "Dad, don’t get angry. Mom must have misspoken because she is too happy about my upcoming wedding. Today is a joyous day for your son. You two mustn’t quarrel; otherwise, how could I get married with peace of mind?"
Luo Shui gently looked at her son and smiled, "My son is always the most obedient, unlike some people who usually act like a cat and suddenly turn into a tiger."
Ballon helplessly shook his head and said, "Ballon, take a rest and eat something. The wedding may be a busy one later. Let me go out and see if anything has been overlooked." After finishing, he glanced at Luo Shui, turned and left the house, urging the Holy True Energy within him and trying hard to shake off the troubles in his mind, heading towards the wedding venue.
In the Court, white symbolizes purity, gold symbolizes holiness, and red symbolizes authority. Today, Xuan Yue’s dress is fully made of a white special fabric long skirt. Nasha was combing her daughter’s long hair, smiling and saying, "Yue Yue, you are really beautiful today! When I was your age, I didn’t have as much of your divine aura and beautiful appearance."
"Isn’t that because I inherited well?" Xuan Ye’s hearty laughter came over as he strolled to behind Xuan Yue and Nasha. Nasha gave him a look, said, "What do you mean your inheritance, Yue Yue is clearly more like me. Stop messing around, go out and prepare for the wedding. Time is running out, I need to help my daughter get dressed quickly."
Xuan Ye nodded and smiled, "Yue Yue, you are going to be a bride today, cheer up, don’t keep such a tight face."
Xuan Yue managed to give a smile, "Dad, I will. You go ahead with your work." How could she feel happy right now? She was about to get married, but the groom was not the man she loved.
Xuan Ye left, and only Nasha and Xuan Yue were left in the room. As Nasha was fixing Xuan Yue’s dress, she quietly said, "Yue Yue, do you not want to marry Ballon?"
Xuan Yue was startled, and shook her head, "No! I want to marry big brother Ballon. Didn’t you and dad always say that he is the person most suited for me?"
