Once the ceremony was done, we left the venue riding her Sanguine Aegis. Seeing Nysia in a dazed state after our kiss and the announcement of our marriage, I picked her up and piloted the Metagen to fly up to the roof of her Tower and from there we went down to her room.
Ah. It's now our room. This place would probably never change. That sofa bed already had most of our memories together and it would continue to become our witness.
After putting her down on it, I climbed up next to her. With her back turned to me, my arms naturally slipped to her side.
When Nysia felt my arms wrapping around her, she naturally turned around to face me.
"What do you think will happen next, wife?"
"You know what. Don't ask me…"
With her face as red as a ripe tomato, Nysia averted her gaze by cuddling closer to bury her face on my neck.
Before putting her down, I've already taken off the veil on top of her head which let her light pink hair be freed and sprawled out on the bed.
The contrast from the lazily dressed lady back when I first saw her and now when she's in this luxurious bridal gown could be said to be a difference of heaven and earth. The allure of her figure is continuing to draw me in. It's still the same or even more than back then.
"Are you not looking forward to it?"
As my hand caressed her long light pink hair, just like earlier, her emotion is clearly being conveyed to me. In fact it's even more vivid than earlier now that there's no more eyes watching us.
"... I am. This guy, when will you stop teasing me?"
Nysia timidly answered in a sweet voice which was followed by her complaint.
"You're always this lovely whenever I tease you. Why will I stop?"
I smiled and held the hand she used to pinch my cheeks and kissed the back of it.
She tried taking her hand back but when she felt my lips on it, Nysia stopped struggling as she slowly looked up to me. With her face still as red as earlier.
I could feel her throbbing heartbeat which quickened by the second.
Slowly, she adjusted herself to level her face with mine.
"Idiot. Don't keep me waiting now. We've been holding back all this time, husband..."
Nysia whispered it In a soft voice as possible. When she uttered the word 'husband', I'd already made my move by taking her lips as soon as she finished talking.
Rather than words as an answer, I used actions to show it to her.
A few minutes later, all of our clothes were already stripped off our bodies and were silently thrown down to the floor.
Inside this room, only the soft sound of her suppressed moans and the occasional creaking of the sofa bed could be heard. At this moment, we're in a world of our own, pouring in our affection towards each other without holding anything back.

A week has immediately passed after the day of our wedding.
Every day after that became filled with official businesses that we had to attend separately.
Nysia continued her work at uniting those under our cause while I delved myself at reorganizing the military of not only the League but also of the Order of the Light's Cradle.
Our only refuge was at night where we would be in each other's arms.
Well, since everything was relayed to the other girls, some of them expressed some kind of jealousy at the current situation, even Yuko. They kept on expressing how they wanted to be with me soon. Seeing that expression from them, I could only appease them with my words while Nysia was pleased that she could have me all to herself. At least she's not being smug about it. She's still the oldest one and the first one to become a Transcendent so she kept her mature role and advised the other girls who haven't reached the threshold yet.
"Sir Daisuke."
Moonlight Queen Lunaria greeted me upon entering the room, on her hand was a tablet pc.
I'm currently at the control room inside the Nysia Tower monitoring every dispatch sent outside the city. Their mission being the hunting of hidden Dark World denizens.
The Researchers successfully managed to invent portable signal repeaters that could be buried in the ground which expanded the coverage of the previously limited communication network.
Three days after our wedding the Moonlight Confederacy led by the Matriarch Lyra officially joined the alliance between the Primeval Aegis League and Order of the Light's Cradle leading the world to a change.
The members of the Dark Host at the Confederacy were either purged by the Matriarch herself or escaped to who knows where.
A day after that, the Emperor himself appeared before the public to address everyone about the emergence of the Order of the Dark Host. Of course, he didn't take the leadership and instead passed it to Julian. He once again managed to bloat the ego of the latter which made the words I left him to think about turn obsolete.
Right now, instead of 3 Factions and 1 City, the world became divided between two sides; The Dark Hosts and the Trinity.
"The Anzeans are now in a meeting with Miss Nysia, the Matriarch, the Imperial Princess and the Sovereign Princess. Do you need to...?"
Lunaria reported after I nodded at her to acknowledge her arrival.
"There's no need, Lunaria. Nysia and the Matriarch is enough for them. Also you can just call Elise in her new title, The Light Maiden."
Following the announcement of the emergence of the Dark Host, Elise also appeared in public to antagonize her husband and announce her breaking off with him which enraged the latter.
On that day, a battle ensued which resulted in the Dark Host losing a lot of their Specialized Metagens against my newly created Battalion, the Aegis Battalion, that is headed by Lexie and Lunaria with me as the Supreme Commander. Even without my command, just opening both Domain of Valor and Bulwark of Invincibility was enough to dominate that battlefield.
Lexie and Lunaria even fought the Enthroned Prince and came out unscathed. Julian could only grit his teeth as he fled by himself, leaving the troops he brought with him.
After that day, a lot of them defected to our side and what's left were only those loyal to both the Emperor and the Enthroned Prince.
"Alright. Don't you need to take some rest, Sir Daisuke?"
"You know, you should also drop the Sir on my name. Are you still scared of me?"
"N-no. That's not it. You're now a Mythic-rank, it's natural to show respect towards you."
Lunaria almost stuttered as her face turned red before answering.
That blushing face, it's not just her being embarrassed... I've seen that not only with her but also with Leianne and Elise whenever they talk to me. There's also Dannae. That girl along with her mother was brought here. We will treat her mother while she will undergo proper training. There's an invented device to disguise her true appearance which solved the problem of her being a half Anzean.
I'm not an idiot to not notice all of that but still, I don't feel anything from them. They're not someone destined to be my Companion. I don't know, it's not like I can just take them all when I don't feel anything about them. There's the goodwill that I'm feeling towards them as an ally but that's it.
There's also the possibility that I'm now relying too much on the still abstract concept of destiny.
In any case, as long as they don't tell me anything, I'm also not inclined to entertain that idea. It might also be the case of me overthinking after all.
"Stay here for me, Lunaria. It seems I have a guest to meet."
On one of the monitors, I saw a figure of a familiar Ultimate Metagen coming from the northwestern side.
After one week, did he finally make his choice?
When that Metagen reached a certain distance from the city, it stopped.
At least, he's considerate enough not to trigger the defense system of the city against serious threats like him.
Upon seeing that, I flew up to meet him. The Ultimate Metagen that was designed for me was still in the process of building. The Darkgen I used for going home was dismantled and became research material for the Researchers to advance Metagen Tech while the Purple Haze was put back in the Armory. It has already served its purpose, maybe in the future someone will pilot it again or it will be recycled, who knows?
"Old Man Liam. What brings you here?"
I greeted him. The cockpit of the Majestic Mammoth opened and revealed a wounded old man, there's dried up blood on his head and his right arm seemed to be broken and currently in the process of healing through the use of his energy.
"I'm here to take your offer. Is it still valid?"
With difficulty, he looked up to me and asked. Something happened that he had to run away from them or this is just an act on his part.
"That depends whether you're sincere or not."
I said while I started to spread out my senses, observing him and the area surrounding us. Though not as good as a lie detector, I can now determine his real intention based on the flow of energy around him .
"That unfilial son of mine has gone crazy. He's now dead set on destroying this world. Right now he's mobilizing everything to help the Dark World to hasten the opening of their portal. He's selling this world to them in exchange for him converting his Source Energy to that of Dark Energy."
Has he really gone crazy? I guess that loss they suffered a few days ago really dealt a sufficient damage for him to be this desperate.
"What about the Enthroned Prince?"
"You know how he is. He's complete under his palm. He will also convert himself. When the Portal widened enough for them to pass through."
Sounds about right... That guy and his ego. Too bad he got fooled over and over. He's more of an idiot than Kazeyoshi, isn't he?
"And the Anzeans?"
"Quickly contact your wife. One of the Anzeans in that meeting is under him. He will sabotage that to ensure that you wouldn't know the true purpose of the Anzeans."
After hearing that, I took out my communicator that I opened earlier. On the other side, Nysia that was currently in that meeting was listening in our conversation.
"Alright. Nysia, you heard him."
"The Saboteur has been secured. The old man is telling the truth."
Her melodious voice rang out before a holographic image was projected in front of us, showing the state of that place where the meeting is being held.
"I see. Old Man Liam, can you please step aside? Another guest is on his way. It's finally time to meet this unfilial son of yours."
