Chapter 168
"Congratulations to the bride and the groom," the priest asserted.
The entire church applauded with smiles on their faces. Some people present there were NPCs, while some were the players.
It wasn't as though only the players who Kayden and Misha invited came there, but the players who were around also came to celebrate.
Kayden had invited all his friends and classmates, including Zach, Shay, Victoria, and a few others, but only Zach was able to come.
Most of Zach and Kayden's classmates were in Risen Warrior (Elliott, Shay, Victoria's) guild, and they couldn't come.
It wasn't as though Kayden and Misha were sad or upset by that. They knew their invitation was sudden.
Kayden shook hands with some of his friends and classmates. While Misha hugged her female friends.
Zach was standing at the end because he barely made it there with Aurora and Aria.
Kayden approached Zach with a smile on his face and hugged him without saying anything.
"I honestly thought you wouldn't show up," Kayden remarked.
"I thought you would cry if I didn't come," Zach snorted. He hugged Kayden again and said, "Congratulations, man. I never thought you would be the first one to get married."
"Thanks…"
"I still can't believe this is happening," Zach scoffed softly.
"Honestly, I can't either," Kayden sighed.
Zach and Kayden looked at Misha, who was talking with Aurora and Aria with a wide smile on her face.
"She looks beautiful," Zach uttered in a low voice. "But I guess all brides look good in the wedding dress."
"How about me? Praise your best friend's handsomeness, too," Kayden remarked.
"You don't look more handsome than me, though," Zach retorted. He nudged Kayden and said, "I am happy for you, bro."
"When are you getting knotted with Aurora?" Kayden asked with a curious look on his face.
"..." Zach shrugged his shoulders in reply, but it wasn't as though he hadn't thought about it.
Once the dungeon raid ended and Aurora surpassed level 25, Zach was going to give her the crimson sword that would help her cultivate her physique at a much faster rate.
Aquarius was going to join them in two months, so Zach had decided that he would marry Aurora and Aquarius together in the Sea Realm. Victoria was also going to join them after the dungeon raid, and he had to tell her many things about the harem.
"But why did you suddenly decide to marry?" Zach asked curiously.
"You know Misha's mom is from a wealthy traditional family, so naturally, she has trained Misha well." Kayden sighed and said, "Misha told me 'No sex before marriage.' So… we got married." Kayden shrugged.
"I don't see anything wrong with that statement considering you and Misha are also brother and sister. But…" Zach raised his brows and said, "Don't tell me you only married her just so you could sleep with her?"
"That's one of the reasons, yeah," Kayden nodded and continued, "But Misha and I had already planned to spend the rest of our lives here. We don't know when or if we will be able to go back to the real world. I wanted to give Misha all the happiness I can, and you know that it was her dream to be a bride one day."
"Yeah…"
Kayden chuckled after looking at Misha and uttered, "She is smiling and laughing right now, but she will probably cry when she is alone."
"Hmm?"
"Some of her friends didn't show up," Kayden groaned with a bitter smile on his face.
"Victoria too," he added.
"She sent her regards, by the way." Zach wanted to say more things, but he let it be since he didn't want them to think more about it.
"You are going on a dungeon raid after this, right?" Kayden asked. "Good luck."
"We will probably ascend in a few days, so get ready to move out from the inn," Zach stated.
"Oh! About that," Kayden exclaimed. "There is no need to worry about that."
"What do you mean?" Zach asked with a confused look on his face. "Weren't you two looking for a house…?"
"Actually, Misha and I are the first couples to get married in this game. So as a reward, we got a small piece of land with a house and farm," Kayden asserted. "I will show you when you three join us for dinner tonight."
"Oka…y…"
Zach placed his hand on his chin and wondered, "Weird. If their marriage is truly the first marriage in Gods' impact, then…'
Zach glanced at Aria and thought, 'Then why Aria and my marriage wasn't considered as the first marriage?'
'Well, it was an error in the first place since the game registered our contract as marriage. Or maybe it's because we didn't have the ceremony?' Zach wondered.
Misha and the girls approached Zach and stood in front of them.
"Are you not going to congratulate me?" Misha uttered with a grin on her face.
"I feel sorry for Kayden. I pity him that he has to put up with you now." Zach saluted at Kayden and said, "One more man was hunted down."
"Why are you so awkward?" Misha puffed her cheeks and hugged Zach.
"....!" Zach didn't hug Misha back because he thought it would be improper, but that didn't stop him from saying, "Take care of Kayden."
"You better take care of Aurora and Victoria, too," Misha said in a muffled voice.
"..."
After that, Zach, Aria, and Aurora spent the rest of the day at Kayden and Misha's new house.
"How is it?" Misha asked Zach, who was walking on the grass with bare feet.
"It's good. A perfect place for retirement," Zach scoffed. He glanced around and asked, "Where are Aurora and Aria?"
"We are making food in the kitchen," Misha responded in a calm voice. "Why don't you spend some time with Kayden?"
Zach nodded and went to the back of the house to meet with Kayden.
"What are you doing?" Zach asked.
Kayden pointed his finger at the empty spot and said, "What do you think of this spot?"
"What should I think of that spot?" Zach quested back.
"I am thinking of buying cattle and starting the farm. And maybe turn into a business one day," he scoffed.
"I somehow don't doubt that. But if you truly manage to do that, give me some discount," Zach sneered.
Zach and Kayden walked around to explore the land better. But on his way, Zach remembered he hadn't equipped his gloves again.
He opened his menu, but he saw something strange on his hand that he had to seek advice from Aria.
