Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 165 Wedding

Early the next morning, Agreed brought the succubus, who was imprisoned in a special runic iron cage, to the judgment platform on the orc plains.

The courtroom is a place specifically used to execute criminals in serious cases, and the venue is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people watching at the same time.

On the day of the succubus's execution, Agre notified all the victims' families and the heads of various towns to come and watch.

Once everyone had arrived, Agreed pointed at the succubus in the iron cage and addressed the crowd below with great passion: "My people, I recently heard the tragic news about your kin. I am sorry that as your king, I only learned of this sorrowful news so late, but I assure you that such a thing will never happen again!"

"Just yesterday, I personally apprehended their murderer, a succubus from hell. It was she who used extremely cruel methods to kill those innocent residents. Today, I will give you justice and avenge the dead. I will completely destroy it, so that everyone can once again walk safely on the streets in the darkness, instead of living in fear, locking their doors and praying for tomorrow." With that, Agreed turned around, and the light magic 'Divine Judgment' was activated, immediately beginning to slowly but effectively burn and destroy the succubus's soul.

At this point, the succubus finally panicked and shouted, "Bastard! You broke your promise! You clearly said you would only banish me back to the Sea of ​​Souls. Aren't you afraid of the demon's revenge?"

Agreed scoffed, "Why should we be afraid? So what if the demon race goes to great lengths to find this place despite the expulsion and suppression of the material universe? In that state, they are no match for me, not even the demon lords of the Seven Deadly Sins!"

At the same time, the magic cast on the demon became even more powerful. The succubus screamed in agony while cursing Agreed, and was eventually burned to ashes by the light of judgment under slow torture.

After the succubus died, all the onlookers applauded and cheered. This gratifying trial finally brought to an end what was considered the worst murder case since the founding of the nation.

However, Agreed knew that this matter could not end so easily.

……

Seven days after the execution of the succubus, Agreed and Hea held a grand wedding on the Orc Plains, which was celebrated throughout the country.

Hea, dressed in exquisite attire, and Agreed, clad in armor, pledged their eternal love in front of everyone, a moment of great joy and celebration.

At the end of the wedding, the emcee excitedly called out to the crowd: "Distinguished guests, this grand banquet is about to conclude. Please welcome our King with warm applause as he brings this solemn ceremony to a close!"

Agreed was somewhat taken aback; he had no idea there was such a step. So, Agreed could only walk onto the stage, seemingly calm but actually panicking, cursing inwardly: Damn it! Which bastard added these messy steps while I was dealing with the succubus? If I find out, I'll twist his head off.

At this moment, Casa, sitting in the audience, unconsciously touched his neck and murmured, "That's strange, why does my neck feel so cold today?"

After a moment of thought, Agred read his speech to the crowd: "Thank you all for coming to my wedding, and thank you all for your blessings. I don't really know what else to say to you, because I have already shared my joy and feelings with you all without reservation."

Actually… I also want to thank someone here, her name is Hepburn, my first wife. She gave birth to a lovely daughter for me. Back then, she was willing to abandon everything and travel the world with me, but I still couldn't protect her. Although I later 'came back to life,' I ultimately couldn't save them, or you could say I indirectly caused the deaths of my daughter and wife. I still feel guilty and remorseful when I think about it now.

I owe Hepburn a wedding. My first wife and I didn't even have a token of our love. I should have repaid her with a lifetime of loneliness for my sins. But I was lucky. There was a ray of light that was willing to shine into my life and accompany and warm me even after I died.

Now that I'm standing here, I can't avoid these past events. I want to apologize to my late wife in front of everyone, and I want to say that this wedding is something I want to make up for for her.

Dear friends, I am very lucky, so lucky that even after losing the love of my life, there are still people who are willing to love me. But as someone who has been through it, I want to advise you to cherish the life you have now. If someone loves you and you love them, then don't hesitate, don't wait until you lose everything to realize this.

"While you still have the courage to love, go for it, my friend. At least in this country, I assure you I will provide you with all the material comforts you need. We could have possessed those dazzling treasures that even the gods would envy, if we had never neglected the genuine affections around us." After saying this, Agreed waved to the crowd in thanks, then turned and walked off the stage. The crowd spontaneously began to applaud and cheer. Then the emcee came on stage to announce the end of the wedding, and everyone reluctantly left.

After Agreed stepped off the stage, he found Hea and apologized somewhat awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I know it's not appropriate to mention her at our wedding, but I..." Before Agreed could continue explaining, Hea hugged him.

Heya said happily, "It's okay. I know where she is in your heart. I'm not jealous of her. At least now you belong to me."

Agreed gently picked her up and said, "Now you are just as important to me as she is, because you belong to me too."

The newlyweds then returned to their residence, oblivious to everyone else, and began their carefree and uninhibited life together.

The days that followed became peaceful. Now, apart from the Kingdom of Light and some small overseas territories, the entire continent had been completely ruled by Agred. So, after spending his honeymoon with Hea, Agred once again entered a state of asceticism.

However, before Agred could fully master the thirteenth-order forbidden spell, a very impolite visitor interrupted his training.

That night, Heya was lying on her bed, bored, when a beautiful figure suddenly appeared. At the same time, a strange energy instantly swept over Heya. Unfortunately, Agred had anticipated her arrival and had taken precautions in advance. Just then, the eleventh-tier super-defense magic that Agred had left on Heya was triggered and blasted the attacker away.
