Ava looked up from her chat with Tammy. Much like everyone else, she was shocked by the sudden change.
“Who?…”
Tammy was stunned as well before chuckling lightly. “It seems he’s more skilled than you gave him credit for, Ava.”
The young men looked up and into the sky.
Of them all, Darius was definitely the most surprised. He couldn’t wrap his mind around how Dyon could have been beneath his feet just days ago, only to suddenly be so far above him.
“Why is he here… and with her? They know each other? They’re together? What’s going on here?”
A taller and older looking version of Hauk from the opening ceremony looked over to Darius.
“You know him Darius?” The anger in his voice was clear.
Unfortunately, Darius was so stunned that he didn’t completely register the question at all.
Akihiko’s face was burning with rage. ‘That’s my wife!’
Madeleine didn’t seem to hear the commotion below. She was clinging to Dyon as though she was afraid to fall, looking up at him with her eyes sparkling.
“You really know how to give a girl exactly what she wants.”
Dyon chuckled. “If they’re all going to want to kill me anyway, I might as well make an event out of it.”
Madeleine giggled and leaned her head onto Dyon, oblivious to the fumes of anger and jealousy she was setting off in the crowd below.
“How the hell did he win her heart… And why the hell is he flirting with me if he has … That!” Ava didn’t know what to think anymore.
She had just been telling Dyon how he wasn’t strong or good enough for her, then he shows up with the most beautiful woman in the history of Focus Academy. Not to mention the fact there was no way that Madeleine was weak.
The look Dyon had given her on that day was still seared into her soul. Even though he had still thanked her afterward, there was a distance in his voice and look that sometimes still woke her up from her dreams.
“I guess my words fell on deaf ears,” Tammy said chuckling.
A robust laughter filled the roof top, “It seems like my little sister has found someone she likes. He must be a great man.”
Meiying was looking on in disbelief, “Is that really big sister?… she looks so… healthy.”
‘Maybe I should give this Chenglei character a try if boys can really have that affect on you,’ Meiying thought to herself.
Delia was looking up at the sky and smiling, watching them slowly descend. She had never seen her big sister so happy.
The reactions of everyone came like an endless flood.
Finally snapping out of his stupor, Darius finally realized he had been asked a question, “Elder Cousin Caddell, this is the boy I nearly killed the other day. I was telling you about his idiocy earlier.”
“Him!? What gives him the right to be with Lady Sapientia and be so weak?!”
The young men around Darius and Caddell seemed to hear their conversation, soon the entire banquet knew while Dyon hadn’t even stepped off the formation yet. Oblivious to it all, he was happily chatting with Madeleine, they seemed lost in another world.
Oliver frowned when he heard the talks, but quickly got over it. He knew his sister better than any of them. Even if the man she chose was that weak, he made her happy, and that was all he cared about.
Pertinacis, though, wasn’t of the same opinion as his elder brother, but he decided to wait on the results instead of jumping to conclusions. He wouldn’t allow his elder sister to be with a weakling, but he was also intelligent.
He knew that the phoenix they rode here on wasn’t within his sister’s abilities, which means this Dyon had more secrets than they knew. Also, he had personally witnessed his talent at the opening ceremony, so he was well aware of the potential. Since his sister was sick anyway, the family wouldn’t have too many objections even if she were to marry someone from the human world, even if they were a weakling.
Thinking to this point, he let it go and smiled.
“Elder brother, this is actually the student from the human world I was telling you about earlier. He caused quite a stir at the opening ceremony. He’s actually quite talented.”
“Oh?” Oliver looked on thoughtfully. It seemed like his sister appreciated that potential as well.
By now, Dyon and Madeleine had already stepped onto the ground, the phoenix dissipating. But, instead of allowing the floating flower and birds go as well, Dyon grasped the air, pulling them into his fist. He lightly squeezed, and a beautiful flower flickering with aurora flames appeared.
“This is actually something I’ve been studying the most for the past few days. I can’t be with you all the time, so I thought I’d make something that could alleviate your illness. It partially incorporates an array and also has part of my aurora flame. It should leave you in comfort for as long as I live.”
Madeleine smiled, tears glistening in her eyes as she placed the flower onto her hair bun. It perfectly complemented her hair pin, magnifying her beauty even more.
Although they weren’t paying attention to everyone, it didn’t mean that they weren’t paying attention to them. Such a scene left it feeling as though the world revolved around them.
Akihiko has blood dripping down the corner of his lips as he bit the inside of his mouth. It was one thing for him to get beat up. But it was an entirely different matter to find out it was the same person who had, just a few days prior, almost lost their life to someone who could barely be considered a member of the pillar families. And to then show up with the girl he had loved for most of his life? Akihiko was as close to blowing up as a human could possibly be.
Oliver was the first to go greet them. A wide smile was on his face, “When were you going to tell me you found a husband little sister? And to make us wait so long for you to come here? You worried us to death. Why don’t you introduce me?”
Madeleine blushed, not able to look her brother in the eye. Dyon had a smile on his face as he looked at the tall young man, ‘He’s strong, thought Dyon.’
Just as Dyon was about to extend his hand to greet Madeleine’s elder brother, a booming voice radiated through the roof.
“I’ve seen a lot of things in my day, but to see such shit stuck to a pure flower is a first for me.”
