The Medallion

The next day, news of Erica's wedding being held at the Magic Phoenix Empire's royal palace immediately spread like wildfire and caused a huge commotion. Within three days, the entire empire was informed of the upcoming wedding.

The announcement of Erica, a rare genius spirit manipulator of the Magic Phoenix Empire, getting married undoubtedly broke the hearts of countless desperate men.

To add to the shock, the queen would be personally hosting the wedding. This was considered an honor of the highest order for anyone.

But what caught the curiosity of the entire Magic Phoenix Empire the most was whom Erica was set to marry. Like a cloud hovering above the ocean, the suspense hung in the air. All would be revealed on the big day.

A few days later, the royal palace was filled with mirth. Red lanterns hung high above. The booming clash of gongs and the deafening bang of drums resonated in every corner. Vibrant firecrackers exploded across the sky. The entire empire was in on the celebration.

A red carpet spread through the center of a huge square. At the front of the carpet, a gorgeous wedding platform was built. The queen sat on its right with Felicia standing beside her.

It was crowded with people along either side of the carpet. Among the esteemed guests were the empire's ministers, heads and representatives of major clans, and other influential individuals. They all gathered to show great respect to Erica.

Of course, the main reason those distinguished guests attended was because of the queen personally announcing the wedding news. It was obvious that this wedding was of great importance to her.

Then, under the public's watchful eyes, an exquisite vehicle decorated by red silk flowers slowly made its way down the red carpet. Within the vehicle sat a nervous-looking, delicate figure adorned with a phoenix coronet and draped in robes that hinted of a high ranking.

"Erica, you're getting married. I never expected you to marry him. However, he's certainly proven his worth. I've heard that he gave the spiritual race members a hell of a beating. You'll surely feel safe and secure around him!" Outside the vehicle stood Tasha, who was also Felicia's disciple. Donning a pink outfit, she looked pure and lovely.

"Then why don't you marry him for me?" Erica glared at Tasha through the red veil draped over her face.
