249 Chapter 249:- Wedding [III]
“Your Majesty, let’s have a meeting in the near future.” Brody Collins, the King of the Edrinia Dynasty asked for a meeting with Aditya. For an hour now, Aditya and Brody have been discussing many things.
“Uncle, you can just call me Aditya. In a way, we’re a family.”
“But that….” Brody knew that he has to show respect to the Istarin Emperor. He was hesitant to call Aditya directly by his name.
“Uncle, if you don’t call me by my name I won’t have any meetings with you.” In the end, Brody had to nod his head.
“Uncle, you will have to wait a while before we can have a meeting. The Istarin Empire just took over the Southern Fire Dragon Empire. I still have a lot of work on my hand. I hope you can understand.” Brody nodded his head with an understanding look. As a King, he understands that a person like Aditya is extremely busy. He didn’t mind waiting.
“How about we hold the meeting somewhere around next month?” Aditya didn’t want to make Brody wait too long. By next month, Aditya should be able to deal with most of his work and internal issues.
p、A,nd A-n、o、ve,1 “Alright.”
“Uncle, I will take my leave now. I will talk to you later.” Seeing Aditya leave, Brody couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous of Ronny.
“You have found an excellent son-in-law. If I had met Aditya earlier then I might have tried to marry my daughter to him.”
“Haha! Brody, let me tell you this Aditya is an extraordinary man. If I tell you the identities of those two ladies beside my daughter, then I am afraid you will have a heart attack.” Ronny was very proud of his daughter and Aditya. Despite having such high political standing, Aditya remained humble. His words and his actions showed his humbleness. This has become a very rare thing nowadays.
Sigh!
“With Aditya and the Istarin Empire’s support, the political power of the Ethereal Empire is only going to increase in the future.”
Meanwhile, Aditya walked up to Julia, Alicia, Riya, and Sylvie. The girls were talking among themselves.
“What are you girls talking about?” Aditya curiously asked.
“Nothing significant. We were talking about the magic lamp.” Aditya sometimes found similarities between the two worlds. For example, the Magic Lamp story was very popular among the royals. In this world, the story of the magic lamp was very different. One day an exiled Prince found a magic lamp in a cave. The magic lamp granted the prince three wishes which he used to regain everything that he had lost.
“Magic Lamp?”
“We were just thinking what would we do if we had found the magic lamp.”
“Have you girls ever heard the story of the 1001 Arabian Nights?”
“No, what is that?” Julia and the other girls looked very curious.
“Very simply put, the frame story itself is one of a king, King Shahrayar, who has been betrayed by his wife, and who is off commiserating with his brother, King Shahzaman, who had suffered a similar fate himself. On their journey, they encounter a beautiful woman who is being held captive by the most fearsome genie. The woman threatens to awaken the genie and thus incur certain death upon them unless they have sexual relations with her. This encounter reinforces King Shahrayar’s loathing of women and confirms his paranoia that women are simply not to be trusted. While his brother simply swears off women completely, our main protagonist, Shahrayar has a more shockingly sinister plan in mind. He rides off back to his kingdom and swears that he will wed every eligible bride in the land, only to have her executed the next morning before she has had a chance to cuckold him. As might be expected, the king soon runs out of brides to marry, and his grand vizier’s daughter, Shahrazad, who is well-known for her penchant for story-telling, decides to take it upon herself to marry the king despite the vehement protests her father. Shahrazad, however, has a plan herself: at a certain point every night, she has her young sister Dunyazad come to the royal quarters and urge the new queen to entertain the King and her with one of her famous stories. Shahrazad then puts her talent to good use, beginning a tale every night, but never-ending it before daybreak, thus leaving the King enthralled, and willing to spare her life one more night so he can find out what happens with the story. Hence, whenever she finishes a tale — never at daybreak — Shahrazad is sure to start another equally captivating tale, which will go on for another night or so. This continues for one thousand and one nights until finally, the King is cured of his paranoia and decides he wants to keep his queen forever after.”
By the time Aditya finished talking, he noticed that nearly all of the nobles and guests were looking in his direction. Everyone’s eyes were on him.
“Aditya from where did you hear this?” Sylvie asked. Being more than one hundred years old, Sylvie never had countless popular myths and stories. But she never has heard of the Arabian nights.
“Actually, when I was really young, I had the chance of meeting a certain person who was from the Dry Savanna continent. He told me the entire tale of the 1001 nights.” The story of Arabian Night was a very big part of Aditya’s life. On earth, this story is very popular in the middle east.
The party continued till midnight. Aditya had the opportunity to interact with many kinds of people. Most of those nobles left him exhausted. After a certain point, the girls left the party feeling exhausted. Sylvie also left with them. All the ladies including, Olivia, Bianca, Norah, and Flora, gathered in one place and started talking about various things.
By the time, the party ended, it was already 1 in the morning. Lily took down in tears when saying goodbye to her family. Fortunately, Noah was there to comfort her.

“Aditya, tonight we will be sleeping at the royal palace. Come with me. I will personally lead you to your room.” Aditya began to Bianca.
Aditya walked a few steps distance from Bianca. “Aditya, I have a favor to ask of you.”
Bianca stopped walking and looked at Aditya. “What is it, mother?”
“I know that you already have Julia and Riya. In the future, you will have other wives and concubines. Please promise me that you will never ignore Alicia or make her sad. My daughter looks really happy around you. You’re her happiness. I hope you can understand this.” Aditya seriously nodded his head.
“Don’t worry, mother even if I have 7 wives, I will treat each of them equally. This is my promise to you.” Bianca nodded her head with a satisfied smile.
“If possible I would like to spend more time with Julia and Riya. Both girls are like my own daughters. Both of them are very gentle and very sweet.” Last night Bianca has talked with Julia and Riya for hours. From talking she was able to know what kind of girls both goddesses were.
“Mother, if you would like you can visit me in the capital anytime. Not just you, everyone from the Osburn family is welcome to come and stay with me. I would be very happy to receive you all.”
“Fufu! I will remember your words. Who knows maybe in the near future, I might visit you.” Talking to Bianca, Aditya couldn’t help but remember Julia’s mother. Both goddesses’ mothers are very kind and gentle. Though Alicia’s mother is the type of woman who likes to tease others.
“You can sleep in this room. From now on, this room will be reserved for you.”
“Thank you, mother.”
“Fufu! There is no need to thank me. You’re a part of the family after all.” After parting with Bianca, Aditya went to his room. His bedroom had a big bed, couch, table, and two chairs. Without wasting any more time, Aditya began to remove the Kimono that he was wearing.
Just as he finished removing the Kimono, the door was suddenly opened by Julia. Julia widened her eyes finding Aditya completely naked.
The princess quickly turned around in embarrassment. “Why are you naked? And what are you doing in this room?”
“This is my room. I was getting changed.”
“Just get dressed.” Julia tried her best to not look at his naked body.
Julia failed to notice the smile on Aditya’s face. Without the princess noticing it, Aditya walked behind Julia and wrapped his arms around her.
Kyaa!!!
“What are you doing?” Julia’s entire body slightly trembled as Aditya started kissing her nape.
Aditya did not bother to give her any explanation. He instead closed the door and then placed a talisman on the door which would prevent any room from going out of this room. “Wife, do you have any idea how beautiful you look right now?” Aditya didn’t give her time to speak as he kissed her.
Julia finding no strength to refuse also began responding back. She wrapped her arms around his neck. That night Aditya didn’t Julia rest.
