<span style="font-weight:400">It was the day of the ceremony, and it was lively since so many people attended. There were only a few days, but many nobles hade to the northern region through the gates. The only thing that could be said about this was that it was simple: to meet with the genius. Two new stores had opened in the northern region, and nobles were eager to try.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why didn’t you tell me you would have a new one?!” Julius’s eyes grew dark as he stared at William. But the man responded by shaking his head,
<span style="font-weight:400">“This is not my fault. Also, shouldn’t you be talking to your wife about this? Why are you hounding me?” Those two were much closer.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You know I can’t do that.” Julius red, then added, “And why is she even angrier than before?” The gaze she had as she stared at him was lower than dirt. He was trash!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Indeed, why is my wife also looking at me like that?” Edmund joined in on the conversation. Violet had been giving him a disapproval look. She left with a happy expression but she was now staring at him with dissapointment.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s not me.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“The kid?” “…”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why is the kid doing this? Is he trying to destroy my marriage?!” Julius wanted to pull his hair out of this situation! He had been working day in and day out to deal with the situation, and he came back to see his wife pissed off.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“How is it going over in the capital?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Still some issues, but I have dealt with 70%.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Same here,” Edmund had dealt with this as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“So, are there going to be refreshments?” Julius questioned. He had heard about the new bakery section and chocte store being made. That could only mean they would use some of the food there over here.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Of course,” William grinned. This was definitely something he had to use for promotions. May and Keith’s eyes turned into coins as he said this.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Father!” Two voices sounded, and they saw two beauties when they turned their heads.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Carolyn,” “Krystal,” The two’s father’s smile bloomed as they stared at their daughters.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmpf.” That was when they came out as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” William, Julius, and Edmund had no words to say as they stared at their wives. It was indeed a magical moment. That caused Krystal and Carolyn to chuckle and nudge them,
<span style="font-weight:400">“You guys look beautiful.” “Mmhmm.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Is that all you have to say?” Thalia’s eyes narrowed. Violet continued to smile, but it was not a good one. Anyone could tell she wanted more as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Umm-“
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hah, how could I marry a man like this?” Thalia held her head. She turned to Carolyn, “Dear, you’re so lucky to have a man who says everything to you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“But he’s also slow at some things as well.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then charge in and take it!”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Krystal, you need to do the same as well.” Violet had the same mindset; go in for the win!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Carolyn! Krystal!” Carolyn and Krystal turned around to see that it was Sarah.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sarah!” The girls quickly hugged one another.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hello, Ryan,” William greeted his friend.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hello, it’s been some time.” Ryan grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Should I be calling you a viscount now?” Ryan was also getting a bump up as well. He was going to be handed the title of viscount now.
<span style="font-weight:400">“There’s no need to do that.” Ryan waved; he was surprised when he heard he was also getting bumped up.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Where is Keith?” Ryan noticed how the boy wasn’t with them.
<span style="font-weight:400">William exined, “He’s going to be here; he’ll bring May over here.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ahh, so he’s going to be her partner.” In a ceremony like this, having a partner was a must. But to have Keith do it? Edmund and Julius nced at their daughters, but the two seemed okay with it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Actually, the two were d, which worried them.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Umm, is Keith going to wear a suit?” Sarah questioned. That was something she wanted to figure out. But that caused the others to tilt their heads, “Of course, he’s going to wear one. Why ask that?” He was going to be May’s partner.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Because he never wore a suit before.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“...Now that you mention it.” Carolyn held her chin, “Keith had never worn a suit in the academy.” Many parties were held on the ind. However, Keith had never been to one. Also, even when there were mandatory parties, the man would skip out on them.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“And he’s always been the type to skip out on social parties.” Sophia scratched. Getting the boy in a suit was literally trying to make a tiger wear one. This guy just didn’t like to wear them. Not only that, there was no need to. Usually, it was Eric, Alvin, and Derek doing all of that.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“That kid is really carefree.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“And no one could reign him in,” Cedricughed. Anyone who tried to was going to get sted by him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“But Keith wearing a suit, kinda interested in it,” Sarah and the others were eager.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Didn’t he wear one as Masked Thief?” Jack clearly remembered that outfit was a suit.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“But he covered his face.” It was a totally different thing.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“They’re entering!” Everyone turned to the front door and saw Keith entering the room. And they were all spellbound by the sight of it. What was surprising was how Keith was wearing an auburn suit with roses engraving down the side. For Sarah, she was the same color, but the dress was much more elegant and refined. It was showing off all of her assets without a thought.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s unfair how cool he looks,” Jack groaned as he stared. Keith was already overpowered. Add the suit into the mix, and that was downright unfair.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“So beautiful,” The one in the limelight was May. Keith’s clothing was gentler, while hers was vibrant and gorgeous. It was definitely the perfectplement to one another.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What do you guys think about May?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Beautiful,” Leon and Laura chimed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Francis, this is an amazing dress.” May was spellbound by this when she first saw it.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I aim to please,” Francis nodded as he was prepared. But as they continued to talk about this,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Everyone. Today, we’ll be celebrating an addition to our ranks.” Julius then asked May, “May, will you support the Solis Kingdom to the bitter end?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I do.” May bowed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then I hereby announce you to be a Viscount. Yourst name would be Sophus. From now on, your name shall be May Sophus. Here to the house of Sophus.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Here!” Everyone raised their sses as they cheered for the new house. That was when the party started. Being the center of attention, May was surrounded by people on all sides.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Is she going to be alright?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“She is. As long as he''s by her side, there''s no way. He’s making a move right now.” Keith looked at the man, and he quickly backed away from May.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">After everything was done, Keith and May were brought over to the balcony.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Young Master, thank you for everything today.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm, there’s also one more thing I have to give you,” Keith then raised something up.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“A bracelet?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Think of it as a congrattory gift for bing the head of your household.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…Thank you so much?” May wore, but then she asked, “Young Master, can I ask a favor?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“…Can I get a kiss from you.” May went forward as she said this. However, she was beginning to regret it. And yet,
<i><span style="font-weight:400">Chuu.</i>
<span style="font-weight:400">“…”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Good?” Keith grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmmhmm!” May nodded; there was no way she wasn’t happy about this.
