Chapter 018: Aiming
“Yes.”
“Haha, that means I can chat with you anytime, even if you’re in the Twilight Mountains,” Du Fan said with a smile.
“Of course. The badge I gave you contains information about my badge. You can use your mind to send voice messages to mine,” Basha said laughingly.
“Is there another badge?” Du Fan asked.
“I planned to give it to my elder brother. Of course, after giving it to you guys, I’ll give it to him as a surprise,” Basha said with a smile.
Soon, the Magic Guild also presented a generous gift.
Looking at the guests from all sides…
Quickly, as the mages of the Elven Natural Order cast spells, petals began to drift through the sky! The entire wedding came to an end amidst the cheers of the people in the four southern provinces.
…
Time passed swiftly. Soon, there were only three days left until the National Day.
According to Du Fan’s plan, he and Angel would go to the capital to get married alone. He had his reasons for this—his own forces couldn’t gather in the capital, which was Fisher’s territory. If Fisher suddenly launched an attack while the Green family was all in the capital, it would be difficult for them to deal with him.
Only Lady Green insisted on going to the empire to personally arrange Du Fan’s wedding. Princess Angel was also very clever. While Lady Green was in Doha City, she pestered her every day—not only with her sweet words but also by using her cooking skills to keep Lady Green and Old Green happy. As a result, Green suddenly grew to like Princess Angel very much.
As the National Day and Du Fan and Princess Angel’s wedding approached, Lady Green insisted on returning to the capital to personally handle everything. Before leaving, she said earnestly, “Du Fan, my son, both of them are your wives, and I like them both very much! I can’t ignore Princess Angel’s feelings! Besides, you’re both busy, and I’m the only one free. If I don’t arrange your wedding, who will?”
Considering Fisher’s behavior during Du Fan and Naixiu’s wedding—where he didn’t interfere and even sent a generous gift—Du Fan agreed. He sent Lady Green back to the capital seven days before the National Day.
Three days before the wedding, Lady Green sent a message asking Du Fan to return to the capital to prepare for his marriage to Angel. Upon receiving her message, Du Fan set off with Princess Angel.
“Du Fan, why are just the two of us going?” Angel asked in surprise inside the Qing Suo.
“I deliberately didn’t let them come,” Du Fan said with a smile.
“Why?”
“See, if so many people came, it would be impossible for us to do anything else.”
“Why?”
“Because that kind of thing can’t be done in front of others.”
“Wha…”
Then, Angel let out a scream, “Du Fan, you scoundrel!”
…
At the speed of the Qing Suo, they arrived in the capital around two or three in the afternoon. For Du Fan, it was sufficient to land the Qing Suo in the open space in the middle of the Northern Town Palace.
As soon as he stepped out of the Qing Suo, Du Fan saw a very familiar person directing the preparations for the wedding at the Northern Town Palace. That person was none other than the current Regent of the Gavin Empire!
Seeing Fisher at this moment, despite his reluctance, Du Fan had no choice but to perform the proper ceremony as a subject to his ruler. “I pay my respects to Your Highness, the Regent,” Du Fan said immediately, kneeling down.
“Haha, Du Fan, you’re finally back. Get up quickly. Now that we’re talking about it, you’re also my brother-in-law. In such a private setting, there’s no need for such formalities!” Fisher quickly pulled Du Fan up.
“It’s a shame that I’ve caused Your Highness to come personally for my wedding arrangements,” Du Fan said.
“Since our father passed away, Angel has become an orphan. As her brother, if I don’t take care of these matters, who else will?” Fisher sighed after hearing Du Fan’s words.
“Brother!” Hearing Fisher say that, Angel cried out emotionally.
“Angel, although we were born into a royal family, I’m still your brother. With our father gone, I naturally need to take more care of your affairs,” Fisher said emotionally, looking at Angel.
“Brother.” By this time, Angel’s voice was already a little choked up.
“Enough, don’t be like this, Angel. The day after tomorrow is your wedding day. In the blink of an eye, you’ve grown up. You can’t keep crying so casually,” Fisher said with a smile.
“Okay, brother.” Hearing Fisher say that, Angel quickly adjusted her emotions and smiled through her tears.
As soon as Du Fan returned to the capital, a stream of nobles came to pay him a visit! The son of the Prince Consort! The King of the North! The Governor of the South! An imperial duke! The warden of the Divine Power Prison in the Gavin Diocese of the Church! These titles were enough to make those nobles fawn over him. Of course, they had no idea of Fischer’s true intentions!
“Grandpa, Du Fan’s return to the capital is truly glorious. Over 80% of the nobles in the capital are vying to ingratiate themselves with him,” Randi said with a snort.
Randi, who had emerged from the top-tier training room of the Lionheart Family, was indeed a master at the peak of level nine, having fully entered the sacred realm!
“Randi, don’t worry. The Green family won’t be prosperous for long. Hmph, Old Green may seem smart, but he’s actually foolish! His Highness ordered him to attack the Frozen Alliance—clearly to use them to weaken the Green family’s power.”
“If Old Green loses and his power plummets, His Highness might still tolerate the Green clan. But if he wins instead, how can His Highness remain indifferent to the suddenly powerful Green family?” Duke Wade said.
Duke Du Fan and the princess’s wedding was presided over personally by Fischer!
It was once again the National Day, and thanks to the prosperity and large population of Gavin’s capital, Du Fan and Angel’s wedding was no less grand than Du Fan and Naixiu’s wedding. With Fischer and Lady Green’s extensive efforts, Angel was very satisfied with the wedding, showing no signs of unhappiness throughout the ceremony.
By the time all the guests had left, it was already past midnight. After seeing off the distinguished guests, Du Fan went to their new room. Angel sat quietly by the bed.
“Little Angel, will you still refuse me this time?” Du Fan stepped closer to her and roughly touched her delicate face.
“Ah, Du Fan, look how anxious you are!” She reached out and slapped his hand away.
With Angel’s speed, Du Fan could easily have dodged, but he didn’t. Instead, he caught her small hand, lifted it to his nose, and sniffed it several times!
“It’s so fragrant! I never thought that just one hand could be this fragrant. If it were the whole body, I wonder how fragrant it would be!” Du Fan said dreamily.
“Du Fan, soon, I’ll belong to you. Don’t rush,” Angel said in a sweet voice.
“Haha, you’ll be mine soon. Why be so coy?” Du Fan replied with a smile.
Once in the study and once in the Qing Suo, Du Fan failed to take possession of this fairy-like princess. Since returning to the capital, he had been busy and hadn’t had the chance. This time, not only were they in the same room, but it was also their wedding night, so Du Fan’s thoughts began to wander.
“Du Fan, before that, I want to talk to you properly. After all, soon I’ll belong to you. Soon, I’ll go from a girl to a woman. I just want to talk to you well before all these changes happen, okay?” Angel said, her soul-stirring eyes fixed on Du Fan.
“Okay,” Du Fan replied, though he wasn’t really willing in his heart.
“As a child, when I was still a little girl, I used to wonder…” Hearing Du Fan’s agreement, Princess Angel began to speak.
……
“Your Highness, give the order!” Alva said in a deep voice.
The top expert in the palace had already put on combat gear and stood behind Fischer.
It was already early morning. The supreme ruler of the Gavin Empire had left after presiding over Du Fan and Angel’s wedding at 5 p.m.
At 1 a.m., His Highness Fischer, who should have been sound asleep, was instead energetic, walking back and forth in the hall.
“Has Du Fan entered the wedding chamber?” Fischer asked as he walked.
“Yes, Your Highness. Du Fan entered half an hour ago,” Alva replied loudly.
“Good. Pass my order: Redirect the eight magic cannons stationed in the capital to target the Zhenbei Royal Mansion!” Fischer said in a deep voice. “Do it slowly, without alerting anyone! Remember, the targeting must be precise!” Fischer emphasized again.
“Your Highness, rest assured. I guarantee that all eight magic cannons will be aimed precisely at the Prince of Northern Town’s mansion!” Alva said loudly, then turned around to deliver the orders. The magic cannons in Emperor Gavin’s capital had been equipped with positioning systems from the very beginning of their design and construction, so Alva, along with Fischer, wasn’t worried about accuracy at all.
Alva, the most skilled expert in the imperial court and utterly loyal to Fischer, had fully regained his peak level of cultivation.
Soon, the eight magic cannons mounted on the walls of Emperor Gavin’s capital slowly adjusted their direction, aiming their dark barrels at the Prince of Northern Town’s mansion.
Ten minutes later, Alva returned to Fischer’s side.
“Your Highness, all eight magic cannons are now aimed at the Prince of Northern Town’s mansion!” Alva said. “When should we order the firing?”
“There’s no rush,” Fischer said with a smile. “Who knows? Maybe Du Fan and my fairy-like sister are doing something joyful. Let’s wait. By then, they’ll likely be tired and fast asleep, and that’s when we strike.”
“Your Highness, I heard that Du Fan’s cultivation has reached the level of a Domain Expert. Can these magic cannons defeat him?” Alva asked again.
“These eight magic cannons are all of prohibitive class. The combined damage from these eight forbidden spells would even seriously injure a god,” Fischer said fiercely. “Du Fan… I never expected that these eight magic cannons would be used together for the first time just to deal with you!”
“Master, you should also get ready. If Du Fan isn’t killed, step in immediately. I believe that after being struck by these eight forbidden spells, even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be severely injured. With that divine artifact in your hands, I think success is guaranteed, right?” Fischer turned to Abraham and said.
