Chapter 1087: Wedding Of The Century (6)
A paragon is meant to walk alone.
Face the heavens alone.
And live with no love and happiness in his life.
However, Klaus had just realized how much life had changed for him.
Sure… In his past lives, he had had friends, lovers and allies.
He had people who were there for him. However, just now, he realized he wasn’t at all with them. It was more like him mimicking life, trying to live as if he deserved it.
However, if he is being frank with himself, he hasn’t really been living.
But today, hearing the vow of 27 women, each vowing to be there with him, stand with him and, no matter what, wouldn’t leave his side, Klaus became emotional.
It touched his heart, and now he can tell that he was feeling something real, something that wasn’t meant to be, but in a strange way, has become beautiful, looking and feeling just as it should.
The heavens took a lot from him. They made him suffer many heartbreaks.
However, now, all he could feel was pure love, one that came from the soul. It is the love of his wives…
Up in the sky, the clouds started forming…
However, Klaus didn’t seem to care. At the moment, all he wanted was to feel the love of his wives. It is pure and foreign to him, yet he welcomes it.
“Life is beautiful if you have the right people in it.” Asmodeus said, as if speaking from experience, “Many say you never know what you have until you lose it. But I say, you never know what you have if you are not allowed to feel it.
If you can feel what you have, then no matter what, when the time comes, you will fight for it and cherish it. It is just how strange life is.
But what do I know, after all, I am an undead,” he laughed, bringing a smile to the faces of the audience in attendance and those watching from home.
“If it’s so easy, there wouldn’t be heartbreaks. Of course, if we are mortals, I would also add that if life were so simple, we wouldn’t have to die. But well, life is beautiful and all we can do is cherish it to the best of our abilities.”
People couldn’t deny his words.
Even Klaus had to give it to Asmodeus; he sure knew how to lift one’s spirit.
After a couple of minutes, Asmodeus turned to Klaus, “They had said their vow, now it’s your turn to say yours.”
Klaus nodded and stepped forward.
He scanned his wives, making sure their eyes were on him. After confirming, he smiled, and then he began to speak.
“First of all, I am not a villain or evil,” Klaus said with a laugh, causing everyone to laugh too.
“However, I can be a villain or the worst evil if anyone dares touch what I love. My life had been a wild one. I faced numerous challenges and experienced a great deal, but through it all, I persevered.
You know, I have always thought I was able to survive it all because I was strong, that I was unbreakable. However, until today, I never knew the answer.
However, now that I see you all, I realize that I was able to persevere and survive simply because I knew that one day I would meet amazing people who would make me feel loved, safe, and at peace.
You 27 are my heart. Now, I will cherish you and protect you just as you wish to protect me. I love you all and look forward to spending eternity with you all.”
“Wonderful. Though a little dry to my taste, it is still sincere and wonderful.”
Klaus gave Asmodeus a murderous look, but he ignored it and instead focused on the next step.
“I once met a shaman, a wonderful guy, though a little too short to be taken seriously. Not that I have an issue with short people, in fact, short people are said to possess foresight so well…
So this shaman I met told me a day will come when, if all hope is lost, we can only turn to love.” Asmodeus smirked…
“I called his bullshit back then. However, being here today, seeing this beautiful sight, I say he was right. In these times of need, today, we saw that love can indeed wipe away all fear and hopelessness.
With love, we can indeed achieve anything.” He smiled and turned to face the 27 ladies.
“Now, the rings, are you 27 ladies going to give him separate ones, or will it be 27 in 1?”
They laughed, but then Queenie stepped forward holding a golden ring.
“27 in 1 it is.” Asmodeus turned to everyone and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I want you all to bear witness to the exchange of rings, which signifies the symbol of their love.”
Klaus stepped forward, and Queenie put the ring around his finger, then she stepped back.
Klaus’ uncles stepped forward, holding 27 rings.
He walked toward Lucy and put a ring on her finger. Then he moved on to the next wives and gave them rings too, until all 27 rings were spent.
“I, Stolas Vessagos Asmodeus, the Undead King, harnessing the power vested in me by the God of the Undead, hereby pronounce Klaus Hanson and these 27 amazing goddesses as husband and wives… You may kiss the brides.”
What followed was 27 kisses, showing one man can indeed marry 27 wives.
When the last wife was kissed, Klaus turned to everyone and thanked them. Afterwards, Asmodeus took over.
“Now, while there are many bands on Earth, I choose my undead band for today’s event because, trust me, in the vast Universe out there, the Death Composers are known for their amazing vocals.
Too bad they met such a tragic fate. However, since this is a momentous occasion, as the saying goes, not even death could stop them.
So, ladies and gentlemen, I welcome Asmodeus’s Death Composers.”
A section of the wedding hall was illuminated with dim lights as seven hooded figures started playing instruments.
Looking at their bony hands, people could only smile.
However, when one of them, a lady, started to sing, everybody was enchanted at once. Her voice was magical.
In no time, the entire wedding hall came to life and everybody started dancing.
Klaus first shared a dance with all 27 wives.
Then many started coming to dance with them.
“I am proud of you, Klaus.” Klaus’ mom said as they danced.
“You are an amazing mother and a good person, Mom. You raised me to be just like you, so you should be proud of yourself.”
“I am proud of myself, just that you turned out good despite Hanson secretly polluting you.” His mom laughed, “But thanks to him, you became even more amazing. I am so proud of you.”
Klaus felt his heart melt, though his mom’s shamelessness didn’t escape him. He watched as his wives danced and laughed with their parents, siblings, and friends.
“In three days, everything will turn chaotic,” Klaus sighed.
“However, we will be there with you, fighting for a better Earth, a better future. So don’t worry, you are not alone.”
Klaus smiled, hearing his mom’s words, ’I know, mother. I am not alone… I have you all… I have all 27 of them.’
