"I've long heard that Fairy Tail is a rather unruly guild, but I didn't expect it to be this wild."
Arcadios commented, speaking from the perspective of a Royal Knight.
When he arrived at the agreed time to pick up the Princess, he inevitably saw the state of the guild.
The scene looked as if a great battle had just occurred, making him mistakenly think the Princess had been attacked, so he immediately drew his sword and charged in with his men.
If the Princess hadn't stopped him in time, Arcadios believed something irreparable might have happened.
Thus, he had a poor impression of Fairy Tail.
"If judged by ordinary standards, maybe that's true." Princess Jade leaned lazily against the carriage window and smiled, "But isn't it an interesting guild?"
Arcadios made no rash comments, feeling only that it was rebellious to involve the Princess in such a dangerous group brawl.
Wisely, he changed the subject: "Your Highness, how are things with that matter?"
Jade knew he was asking about the eclipse plan and replied, "What happened a few days ago was indeed just a misunderstanding. They were looking for a Star Spirit Mage to find clues about a missing companion."
Since it wasn't classified, Jade casually asked Lucy using her identity as a Star Spirit Mage, and Lucy embarrassingly recounted her 'disappearance' mishap.
Arcadios nodded, "That's good then, and everything can proceed smoothly."
"Yes, and there's a need to continue." Princess Jade was quite apprehensive about the danger of Zeref as described by Makarov and Rhode.
If possible, we must find a way to eliminate this dangerous Black Mage who once operated within Fiore.
If we can, we should also deal with the Black Dragon.
To protect the people of Fiore Kingdom, the royal family must make an effort, even if it means using Black Magic in secret!
...
"In the end, it turned out like this again." After seeing Princess Jade and her entourage off, Rhode returned to the guild with Mira and sighed softly.
Whether a banquet or a ball, it always ends in chaos every time.
Now some are asleep, some are drunk, even guests from other guilds and people from the Council weren't spared.
After a day of excitement, the guild finally calmed down.
"Because everyone had so much fun..." Mira glanced at Lisana and Elfman cuddled together, then at Rhode, adding, "At our wedding."
Rhode hugged her and laughed, "Yes, at our wedding."
The two adjusted the temperature of the Magic Warmth Furnace and covered blankets over Wendy, Lisana, Lucy, and others who needed them...
Like caring parents, they were busying themselves like this for a while to take care of these troublesome children.
After doing all this, it was already getting late. Mira asked, "What should we do now?"
Rhode picked Mira up in his arms, kissed her ear, and said softly, "What else can we do, I don't want to spend our wedding night here... what do you think?"
"Hmm..." Mira blushed, feeling there should indeed be something fun to do.
After closing the guild doors carefully, Rhode flew home with Mira in the night, hastily closing doors and drawing curtains.
"Wait, wait, first take off the wedding dress..."
"No, it's the wedding dress I want..."
"..."
The next morning, the two of them slept in a little longer. Since there was no one else at home last night, the couple was more relaxed.
When Rhode opened his eyes, he found Mira looking at him intently.
Brain booting up...
Boot up successful.
Rhode remembered something and smiled, "Good morning, darling."
The hint of tension on Mira's face vanished, replaced by a happy smile. She quickly kissed Rhode and said with a smile, "Good morning, darling."
- This was a rumor Mira heard from somewhere, that the first words on the morning of the first day after marriage must be like this, otherwise the marriage would not be sweet and happy.
She had specially reminded Rhode several times yesterday, afraid he would forget.
Seeing her looking so adorable, Rhode hugged her and couldn't resist his morning impulse.
The sun was high in the sky.
After getting up, the two tidied up the house. Mira, holding onto the belief of becoming a perfect wife, insisted on making breakfast for her husband by herself.
Rhode originally wanted to help in the kitchen, but was driven out for wanting to mess around, so he went to tidy up the yard instead.
Due to Lucy and Reby's script yesterday, the small yard was a mess, and now there was a giant spider web hanging there.
After being busy for a while, Mira, wearing casual clothes with an apron, stood sweetly at the door.
Her long hair was casually tied into a bundle, thrown to the front, and her hands reached behind to untie the apron strings.
"Time to eat." Mira called out.
As she shouted, she also saw what Rhode was doing. He was stepping on a stepladder, holding nails with his mouth and a small hammer in his hand, repairing a broken piece of wood on the exterior wall.
Their eyes met, seeing each other's looks and actions, they both paused.
- We really did get married, huh.
...
The guests felt somewhat embarrassed when leaving Fairy Tail, especially those like Jura and Kagura, who were normally quite serious.
They actually fought at a friend's wedding dance and even stayed overnight at the friend's guild, which is quite rude.
Of course, Fairy Tail didn't mind this at all and was actually quite happy, as having such close friendships is always better with more.
The Council members were even more embarrassed; they actually made a scene along with the guild that loves causing trouble the most!
Though the chaos was contained within the guild and didn't cause much damage, it seemed Princess Jade of the Fiore Kingdom was present yesterday!
To cause such a commotion in front of the Princess and nearly get mistaken for assassins by the Knight Order, it was just...just... utterly improper!
Lahar, wearing glasses without lenses, coldly stared at Dolanbart, who started it all, and also seemed to have had the most fun.
Had they not been working together for so many years, Lahar might suspect him of being a Fairy Tail infiltrator.
In the end, Lahar didn't make a scene at the door.
He didn't want to be laughed at by Fairy Tail.
He politely bid farewell, confirmed his subordinates' headcount, then organized and led them away.
Dolanbart also remembered what foolishness he got up to yesterday and felt he might get reprimanded upon return, suddenly wishing to stay at Fairy Tail instead.
He shook his head, banishing the strange thought, contemplating whether to wipe Lahar's memory of yesterday and claim he simply blacked out because of drinking...
After seeing off all the guests, everyone skillfully began cleaning up the guild.
Marcus called out, "Rhode, your wedding presents have been placed in the back, remember to take them."
Rhode nodded, "Got it, thanks."
Laki handed over a stack of bills and paper, "Mira, we didn't use up all the budget, here's the bill and the leftover money."
Mira accepted it with a smile, "I see, thanks for the hard work."
Erza said a bit embarrassedly, "Um, the bill for the damages from the church just arrived..."
She actually wanted to cover it herself, but she was really short on cash recently.
"Of course, we'll cover this." Rhode and Mira decided not to have the bridesmaids take responsibility, after all, it was their happy day.
Ginanna was tidying up the counter when she suddenly found something, surprised, "Ah, here's some money and a note left by Simon, saying it's compensation on behalf of his sister, Kagura..."
