The Medallion

Two days later, the much-awaited wedding ceremony was held as scheduled.

The square in Gilbert's mansion, where the ceremony was going to be held, was crowded with guests and important figures. It was an understatement to say that the air was filled with gaiety.

However, in contrast to weddings done in the human race, it was more straightforward and was mostly just for formality.

At this moment, Rocky and Valeria were already at the high platform in their stunning wedding attire, receiving warm greetings and blessings from the guests.

But aside from the couple, the attention of most of the people was actually focused on Princess Layla, who came to the wedding to officiate the ceremony. It was known that Princess Layla was the most beautiful woman in the entire Shura Race. Moreover, since her mother was the former queen, many people really admired and adored her. Her presiding over the wedding ceremony was proof of her close relationship with the Ghost Fief.

After the brief ceremony, Rocky and Valeria got off the stage and prepared to cross the square so that they could enter their bridal chamber.

At the same time, Gilbert, Flora, and Princess Layla escorted the newly-wedded couple in person.

However, they suddenly noticed that a commotion was happening at the other side of the square. Eventually, the crowd parted in order to make way for someone. Soon enough, a domineering, tall man, who was accompanied by several peak-level Spiritual Emperors, appeared and walked towards Rocky and Valeria.

All members of the Shura Race who saw this man instantly showed fear and awe on their faces. In fact, they could not even look directly at him.

Although Rocky was just seeing this man for the first time, he could already tell from his demeanor, as well as from the reactions of the people, that this man was none other than the son of the current king—Prince Zain.

Obviously, Gilbert, Flora, and Princess Layla were all taken aback by Prince Zain's unexpected arrival. Of course, as a courtesy, Gilbert invited most members of the royal family, including Prince Zain. But normally, prominent figures like him would not come in person and would just send a representative.

Therefore, never did they expect that the prince would arrive at the wedding.
