The Medallion novel Chapter 1686

The other major reason why the seven fiefs decided to send their representatives this time was to check if there was a possibility of allying with the other fiefs through marriages, just like what the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief had done. However, all of them knew that this was not an easy arrangement. If one of the Godly Geniuses betrayed the other after getting married, there would be terrible losses that would outweigh the gain. In fact, this kind of situation already happened in the past. It was known that the Genie Fief would use their Godly Geniuses to entice the other Godly Geniuses to pledge allegiance to them. Because of this, the other fiefs who had already fallen victim to this scheme before had been very careful in considering this strategy.

If this had always brought a smooth alliance between fiefs, they would obviously try every means just to pull it off.

"Dear guests, the engagement ceremony is about to begin. Please enjoy yourself in the meantime!" Noticing that the appointed time was nearing, Gilbert already made the announcement.

Meanwhile, in the Fragrance Palace, Valeria was still sitting at a table, staring at her red dress that was accented with gold and silver pieces of jewelry. She pulled out a long face and was hesitating to proceed with the engagement.

The truth was she didn't really want to be engaged from the bottom of her heart. However, she had no choice but to obey Flora's order. After all, it was also for the sake of their fief. "Valeria, what are you doing?

It's almost time. Why haven't you changed into your dress yet?" Leticia reprimanded Valeria as soon as she saw that the young woman hadn't put on her dress and makeup.

"Elder Leticia, do I really need to wear this thing?" She was actually opposed to it because she didn't want to be engaged, let alone be married to Rocky.

"What are you talking about? Of course, you need to wear it. This engagement is not a joke. All the guests that will be attending the ceremony are distinguished figures of the Shura Race. In fact, I heard that even the royal family will be sending a representative to offer their congratulations. If you dress casually, people will think that the Flower Fief isn't taking this seriously. Our reputation is also at stake here," Leticia firmly explained.

"But I just don't want to wear it!" Valeria complained.

"Valeria, don't be unreasonable. Change into it quickly," Leticia answered with a serious expression on her face.

Seeing that the elder's eyes had already turned cold, Valeria could only heave a sigh. Then, with the help of her personal maid, she began changing into the dress, putting her makeup on, and adorning herself with elegant accessories.

In about an hour, she was able to finish preparing, and she looked very charming and gorgeous in her bright red dress.

"It is such a shame that our leader could not come. She will be very happy to see you in this astonishing dress." As Elder Leticia glanced at Valeria, she could not help but let out a faint smile. Valeria had finally grown into a fine young lady. She could still remember when the leader brought Valeria back, she was still a child, and Leticia was just a servant. Therefore, she had witnessed how Valeria eventually grew up. Now that she was about to marry someone, it was just natural for the elder to have mixed emotions.

"Humph! It's not a real marriage. This is just for show. She need not see me in this dress..." Valeria mumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Come on. It's almost time. We have to proceed to the square where the ceremony will be held," Leticia remarked as she looked out of the window.

Then, accompanied by the elder and several maids, Valeria left the Fragrance Palace and headed for the square.

Meanwhile, Rocky, who was the other important party of the engagement ceremony, was still cultivating beside the desolate crescent-shaped lake in the leader's mansion.

Of course, he had not forgotten about the event. However, he deemed that he need not hurry. As long as he would not be late, he could still take his time.

After finishing his cultivation inside the Scarlet Heaven Jade and regaining his spiritual sense, he sat by the lake with his legs crossed and adjusted his breath.
