Alaric tried to stay still so as to not wake up Aleksis who looked very soundly asleep. He decided to continue lying down to enjoy the warmth of her body in his arms.

A couple of moments later, he caught sight of the digital clock on the wall which was telling him that it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Hmm ... the wedding party should have started by now. Why didn't anyone come to wake us up? he wondered.

He then smiled when he realized that the rest of his family had tacitly let him and Aleksis rest.

His family ...

Ah, that was a word that was very foreign to him, but very soothing.

Alaric remembered that for almost a hundred years he always felt lonely. The feeling persisted until he met Aleksis. Then again, they immediately got separated since back then, they were both thinking that the other had died. After that, like a broken kite, Alaric returned to being alone.

He did enjoy the attention and affection from Portia who adopted him as a son, but it was not the same. He still needed time to be able to accept Ned and Portia as his family.

But yesterday, not only did he meet his wife again, but he also met his biological father who turned out to love him very much. He also met his brother, Nicolae, who was so kind. The man even encouraged him to be happy again with Aleksis. Ned and Portia had also settled their misunderstanding with Lauriel. It all ended with everyone at peace with each other ...

Ahh ... and Alaric also had two very cute kids! He now felt like he was the luckiest man in the whole wide world. He was one of the wealthiest and most powerful men under the sun today, but all of that meant nothing.. compared to this woman and their beautiful children.

And ... later, he and Aleksis would have more children to fill their home with happiness and joy. He would ask her to give him many children to compensate for all the loneliness they had experienced so far. He would make sure that their home would always be filled with the happy laughter of their children.

Ah, Altair and Vega clearly inherited his appearance. Since that was the case, he hoped that their next offspring would resemble Aleksis. He really wanted to see a little Aleksis running around them ...

All these thoughts made him smile so happily.

"Uhmm ... good morning," Aleksis opened her eyes and greeted him. When she saw his smile, her lips also arced up as she asked, "How was your sleep?"

Alaric did not answer. He kissed Aleksis' forehead and closed his eyes.

"Hmm ... what time is it?" Aleksis asked again. Alaric even tightened his arms, still not answering. Aleksis then looked at the clock on the wall and was immediately stunned. "Oh my god!! It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon!!!"

Her reaction made the man laugh. Aleksis was dumbfounded. She very rarely saw Alaric laugh, so the sight instantly became something special for her. She was mesmerized to see her handsome man look very happy.

"Your expression is very funny," Alaric finally said. "I slept well. I woke up a long time ago and realized we were late. It seems like everyone is deliberately letting us rest."

"Oh ..." Aleksis covered her face with both hands. "I'm so embarrassed ... I don't know if I will be able to show my face in front of everyone again."

Alaric sat on the bed and rubbed his wife's head lovingly. "It's okay, I'm here. I'll accompany you."

"Ugh ... the party started with chit chats and a pre-wedding feast at 2 pm, we should take a shower and get ready now. We can still appear before the main event." Aleksis got up and pushed aside the blanket that covered their bodies. However, when she was about to get out of bed, Alaric suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her body into his lap.

"Uhmm ... I don't care about the guests," he whispered in a husky voice as he moved their bodies so that he was on top of her. Then his lips moved around kissing Aleksis' lips and neck vigorously before he nibbled on her earlobes and licked them very softly in a teasing manner.

When he saw Aleksis' beautiful body under the blanket, his desire returned and he felt no need to hold back. After all, they were already late. Another hour or two wouldn't make much of a difference.

"Gosh ... we ... ahh ... have to ... ahhh ... have to take a shower," Aleksis tried to protest, but her impudent lips were letting out joyful moans as Alaric pressed her on the bed and parted her legs with a mischievous smile on his lips.

He caressed her back lovingly and gave her breasts so much love by kneading and sucking them alternately. At the same time, he positioned himself to enter her. When his manhood thrust inside her core, she no longer cared about being late. As he showered her with kisses and pumped inside her core her vigorously, Aleksis was brought to the seventh heaven for countless more times.

Guests had arrived, making the atmosphere within the Medici Castle garden look very lively and beautiful. Everyone present was very handsome and beautiful. They wore beautiful clothes from various ages and periods according to their individual tastes.

For a long time, there had been no wedding among the Alchemist clan members so they were all very eager to witness an event that might only happen once in centuries, a wedding between the two most respected families within the Alchemist clan: the Schneider family and the Medici family.

Some people who had been invited to Nicolae's birthday party 4 years ago had guessed it was the heir of the Medici family who was about to get married, and that caused a lot of heartbreak among the girls of the clan who had been hoping to captivate his heart.

But the daughter of the Schneider family felt like a mystery that really made many people curious. They knew that Caspar and his wife were married 31 years ago but they had never announced their children until four years ago and they were never known to have a daughter.

What did she, the girl who had conquered the heart of the heir of the Medici family, Nicolae Medici, look like?

Even before Aleksis appeared, there were already so many people very curious to see her.
