Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1045 Iris’ and Cai’s Decision [Part 2]

Princess Anastasia's and Nevreal's eyes went as wide as saucers when Lux had invited both of them to join his Guild.

Their reaction made the Half-Elf chuckle internally since he had expected this kind of reaction from them.

Nevreal didn't know if he wanted to laugh or cry when he saw the name "Heaven's Gate" shining in front of his eyes.

He was the one who gave Lux the funds to build his Guild Headquarters. 

Now he wondered if what he had given the Half-Elf was enough to build a place that was worthy of the one and only Mythical Guild in the world.

If Nevreal only knew that he would have the honor of being the sponsor who would play a crucial role in building the Guild Headquarters of Heaven's Gate, he would have given Lux all of his money in order to construct the best Guild Headquarters that wouldn't put his name to shame!

What kind of honor was this?

It was the greatest honor of a lifetime!

Nevreal had been pestering the Half-Elf to let him see the Guild Headquarters, but now, he was having cold feet. 

How could he not be? 

If Lux's Guild Headquarters looked subpar, then he would take this shame to the grave with him.

Princess Anastasia, on the other hand, wasn't feeling cold feet. But that didn't change the fact that she was feeling very anxious.

Lux only told her that Iris and Cai wanted to meet her. He didn't say anything else. 

The Princess knew that Judgement Day had come, and she was feeling extremely nervous about how things would unfold.

"Let's go," Lux said with a smile. "Since you are now members of my Guild, you can instantly teleport to it just by consciously thinking that you want to visit the Guild Headquarters.

Princess Anastasia and Nevreal nodded their heads and did what he asked them to. A moment later, the two turned into beams of light, which proved that they had successfully teleported to his Guild Headquarters.

When the Princess and the middle-aged Dwarf regained their vision, they found themselves staring at a Marble Castle in the distance. 

The structure stood tall and proud, making Nevreal breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Although it wasn't something that could be called mind blowing, it was still a good piece of architecture that he could be proud of. 

'It was worth it,' Nevreal almost became teary-eyed after seeing the Guild Headquarters of Heaven's Gate. 

He was quite upset in the past when Lux had scammed his hard-earned money out of him, but after seeing that it was used well, all those heartaches disappeared like the fleeting clouds in the sky.

"Welcome to Heaven's Gate," Lux said with a smile as he gave the two Dwarfs a light bow. "Please, follow me."

Princess Anastasia and Nevreal glanced at each other before nodding their heads at the same time.

The two followed behind Lux as he walked towards the Gates of the Marble Castle where Emma and Garret were waiting for their arrival.

"These two are the caretakers of my Guild, Emma, and Garret," Lux introduced his subordinates to his guests. "Emma is the Guild's Secretary, and Garret is the Vice Guildmaster, taking over my responsibilities whenever I am away. In short, they are the ones overseeing the operations of my guild."

"The name is Emma. It is a pleasure to meet you Princess Anastasia and Sir Nevreal," Emma said with a smile.

She had traveled to many parts of the Kingdom of Gweliven in the past as an Adventurer before becoming Lux's secretary.

Naturally, she knew who Princess Anastasia was and was quite happy to finally meet her in the flesh.

"The name is Garret." Garret gave the two Dwarves a brief nod of acknowledgement. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask."

Lux had already told his two subordinates about the two guests that he would be bringing to the Guild.

They didn't know why the two had come to visit them, but since they were their guests who had been personally escorted by their Guildmaster, they planned to give them the VIP treatment that they deserved.

"Emma, please give Sir Nevreal a tour of the Guild Headquarters," Lux ordered. "He was the one who gave us the funds to build our castle. We owe our humble beginnings to him."

Emma and Garret looked at the middle-aged Dwarf in surprise. Neither of them knew that Lux had scammed the poor guy and only thought that he was a very generous person for giving the Half-Elf the funds to build their Guild Headquarters.

Their impressions of him were raised by a notch, and both decided to treat him as a true VIP Guest from the bottom of their hearts.

Nevreal, who felt flattered by Lux's introduction, couldn't help but smile.

He secretly thanked the Half-Elf in his heart for boosting his image to his subordinates. 

"Please come with me, Sir Nevreal," Emma said in a respectful tone and even gave the middle-aged Dwarf a light bow. "I will give you the full tour of our Guild Headquarters."

"Thank you," Nevreal nodded and followed behind Emma.

Garret gave Lux a glance and the Half-Elf nodded his head in understanding.

The Vice Guildmaster of Heaven's Gate then joined Emma and Nevreal on their tour. He could tell that the middle-aged Dwarf was a military man, so he planned to talk about something that they had in common to get to know him better.

Lux then glanced at Princess Anatasia and offered his hand. 

He could tell that she was feeling anxious, and she had every right to feel that way. 

The Half-Elf had been excluded from the decision-making process, so even he didn't know how things would turn out.

However, that didn't mean that he didn't care for the Princess, who, although she looked calm on the surface, was feeling nervous deep inside her heart.

Princess Anastasia gladly accepted Lux's gesture and placed her hand over his.

The two of them walked hand in hand toward the Conference Room of the Guild where Iris and Cai were waiting for their arrival.

When they arrived at their destination, Lux knocked on the door and announced their arrival.

"Let her come in alone," Iris' voice was heard from the other side of the door. 

After hearing his Fiancee's words, he glanced at the Princess and saw her nod in acknowledgement.

Lux then opened the door, allowing the young lady to enter on her own.

The moment she walked inside the room, he closed it behind her. 

Truth be told, Princess Anastasia wasn't the only one who was feeling anxious.

He was feeling anxious as well. Lux had already prepared himself for the worst-case scenario of escorting a broken-hearted Anastasia back to her kingdom.

The Half-Elf looked at the closed door in front of him before heaving a deep sigh. 

The only thing he could do right now was wait until their talks were over.

Inside the Conference Room…

Princess Anastasia found herself staring at five beautiful ladies, and they all made her feel intimidated.

Valerie, Ali, and Ari weren't present because it was impossible at this time. 

The Dragon King refused to let the Dragon Princess leave Karshvar Draconis for a short period of time because of what was happening in the central regions of Elysium. 

Princess Anastasia looked at the women, whom she believed to be Lux's fiancees, with a calm expression on her face. 

But, deep inside, the pressure that these five people were giving her was making her heart shudder.

Even so, as a Princess of a Kingdom, she knew that she should keep her composure at all times, especially when she was going to negotiate something.

As she scanned the faces of the people inside the conference room, she recognized Aina, which surprised her very much.

'She's one of Sir Lux's fiancees?' Princess Anastasia thought. 'To think that the expressionless Guildmaster of Eternal, whom our Kingdom had hailed as the Warrior Princess, would be one of his lovers. I didn't expect to see her here.'

Taking a deep breath, Princess Anastasia took a step forward and made a curtsy to introduce herself to the ladies who held a position in Lux's heart.

"My name is Anastasia Von Gweliven," Princess Anastasia introduced herself humbly. "Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to meet all of you."

"Iris Von Kaizer," Iris introduced herself as well.

"Caitlin Von Kaizer," Cai said.

"Aina Von Kaizer," Aina stated.

"Aurora Von Kaizer." Aurora smiled. 

Aurelia didn't introduce herself right away. Instead, she took a deep breath before looking at Princess Anastasia with determined eyes.

"Aurelia Von Kaizer," Aurelia declared.

She had already made her intention of marrying Lux known to her mother and her Aunt Augustina. 

Although she would still retain her Family name and identity as the Dragon Prince of the Crystal Palace, within this closed-off room, she made sure to declare that she was one of Lux's fiances.

Princess Anastasia nodded her head in acknowledgement before resting her hands over her skirt. 

"Do you already know why we have called for you to come here today?" Iris asked.

"Yes," Princess Anastasia replied. "I came here to hear your answers."

Iris smiled sweetly before taking the Marriage Certificate and the Marriage Contract from her storage ring. She held each of them in her hands.

"This is our answer," Cai stated before snapping her fingers. 

A moment later, the Marriage Certificate and the Marriage Contract burst into flames.

Princess Anastasia looked at the two scrolls with dazed eyes and felt a stinging pain in her innocent heart, which was very close to breaking into pieces.
