Chapter 201: Everyone Is Happy!

"Chirp! Chirp! Kooo!"

It’s the god bird!

The god bird...

It represents good luck.

It’s said that in old times, people would even move villages if the gop bird wouldn’t chirp once a week. If it doesn’t chirp, that means something bad will happen. People believed it had a great institution. But later, people believed this bird was a gift from god to these lowly people to escape from the miseries.

This belief grew very strong after two weeks of the bird not chirping and a very big flood breaking out, making people lose lives.

With that, people literally worshipped those birds. They were very rare too.

These beliefs eventually turned more and more different with time.

While the bird being silent means something bad is going to happen, it chirping means something special happening at that time is going to be a great thing.

So, in the present, all marriages in the village areas are hosted once the bird chirps.

Lucas wasn’t very much into these beliefs because he knew better. But he still followed those beliefs as a positive mind led to a positive ending.

Lucas’s house was next to a land that had a big tree with a god’s bird’s nest. So Lucas hears it chirping every day, morning, day, night.

Because of that, Lucas knew they could begin the ceremony soon as it would definitely chirp in the morning.

And it did, like he expected.

However, instead of chirping once like usual, it chipped about five times.

Well, that’s a good good good good good sign, isn’t it?

Everyone smiled brightly and once the bird stopped, Karl wrote down Felix’s and Asher’s name with the vows. Then, Felix came and stood from the stand table of ’grandpa’ as the door at the end of the carpet opened.

Asher, looking stunning in white, was showered with small flowers and flower petals thrown by Anne as she giggled. On the side, stayed the baby on the crib that was dragged there. The baby was entertained enough by the flower petals falling around so she also giggled and watched this small ceremony.

Lucas accompanied Asher through the aisle and then, Lucas, Anne watched Asher and Felix read vows and kiss happily. Everyone screamed, laughed and giggled.

Not just smiles there were also tears...

But...happy tears.

Usually, at the end of the party, the bride would hand over the bouquet to someone she wants to see getting married. The groom was supposed to take a flower from the bouquet while it’s in that person’s hands and follow her lead and hand over the flower to the person she is in love with or wishes to start a relationship with.

Usually this was prepared beforehand as sometimes these to be brides get rejected from that man they offer the flower and feel humiliated with that.

They didn’t have many people.

But, Asher wanted to do it.

And Lucas looked forward to it too. So when Asher walked to Lucas, Lucas’s eyes brightened and he tried his best to stay serious.

Actually, Asher knew nothing about any of these traditions. He lived isolated and knew very little about people and their lives. So, Lucas had to explain everything to Asher.

At that time, Lucas was quite surprised when Asher came to apologise and ask for details about weddings. But, he kindly explained everything and even asked if Asher wanted to know more things.

"Do you want to know how to spend your honeymoon night?"

Lucas asked teasingly and Asher’s cheeks immediately got red.

"Obviously it’s what you and sir Karl do in bed, isn’t it?"

Asher asked and Lucas paused, a surge of panic appearing on his face. He actually didn’t expect Asher to be so daring.

"Hmph! No. It’s what you did to make Bella."

Lucas said in a playful voice.

They were both shy to talk about such things. But the atmosphere soon got lighter and the talk went on for way too long....Way too long.

"He is very caring. He always asks me if I am okay."

Their talk had somehow shifted into very personal stuff but both of them were curious about the other. So...it went on.

"Good for you. I got myself an uncontrollable dog."

Lucas said with jealousy.

But actually...

He secretly liked when Karl was rough.

When he slapped his butt, squeezed his nipples and said dirty words when Lucas begged him to stop it...

’Cough cough!’

Obviously Lucas didn’t say any of that loud.

At the end of their talk, they did know their lovers were complete two different people in bed.

That’s enough information already.

So, thankfully, it ended there.

Now to the present...

Lucas felt grateful for Asher’s gesture.

This was also his chance to find out if Karl actually cherished as much as he said.

Even if Karl rejected him, Lucas was sure he wouldn’t feel sad.

But actually, his heart said Karl wouldn’t reject him.

Their bond wasn’t a small thing.

It was unexplainable.

They just matched perfectly.

Lucas got the bouquet and glared at Karl who was looking at him with a look of surprise.

’...W-why? Why are you surprised?’

Lucas got a very uncomfortable feeling.

But he endured it.

He walked to Felix and asked him to grab a flower.

Felix grabbed one and following Lucas’s lead, he stood in front of Karl with the flower who stared at it for a few moments which were the most uncomfortable moments of Lucas’s life. It was the same with Asher too. The tension...It made his stomach turn.

Why is that bastard waiting?

Asher couldn’t help but blame in secret, even forgetting Karl was the emperor..

But then, Karl accepted the flower.

Still, the moment was already ruined.

Karl waited for too long.

A long silence took over for an uncomfortable amount of time and it ended with Karl suddenly shuddering and leaving a hiccup that drew everyone’s attention.

"A-am I really that lucky? W-will you-really be mine?"

The trembling voice, hiccups in the middle, the stuttering... It all made Lucas freeze in shock.

Was Karl that shocked?

"You don’t want me?"

Lucas asked back. But, his tone was filled with confidence and sarcasm.

Karl wiped his tears and what he did next literally made everyone take a step back.

He...kneeled.

He kneeled in front of Lucas, hugging his legs.

He cried and cried. Lucas was very surprised and couldn’t even move to comfort him.

He was stuck in the strong arms of Karl and him moving could result in them both falling down.

"L-Lucas."

"Mm?"

"I... told you to not ask a question back when I ask a question."

Karl mumbled and Lucas chuckled.

"Yeah. Sorry. And, yeah."

"...Mine?"

"Mmm."

"Really?"

"Yeh, Yours."

Lucas said with a smile and Asher couldn’t help but shed happy tears for sir Lucas.

After the couples’ ’confession’ and they calmed down, Karl finally got up and shared glances at Felix and Asher before bowing his head, making Feix rush to stop him.

"I am sorry to ruin your day like this. I just couldn’t contain myself. And I am very sorry Felix. I hid about this for so long. I and Lucas...have been in love for a long time...."

Karl apologised honestly.

Actually, Felix wasn’t mad about being left out or confused by this situation.

He was surprised by everything.

And, he felt defeated.

Because, after all, Asher is right.

Karl and Lucas were really together.

Asher’s suspicion he had once expressed with him was not just random.

’I can’t help but agree I am so dumb. How did I miss the signs? But...Isn’t my Asher so smart?’

Felix was proud.

Very proud.

And, happy for his friends.

This is the best day of his life now!

Everyone is here and everyone is happy!
