Bitterness Filled His Chest

"We better go back and meet everyone," Lauriel said to them. "I'm sure so many people will be happy to hear the news ..."

Alaric turned to Lauriel and for a moment he was silent. He did not want to go back and meet anyone. For him, his wife was enough. But then, he remembered that Aleksis already had a child with her future husband. Of course, the conditions were now rather complicated so he couldn't simply bring his spouse home. With a heavy heart, he nodded.

"The wedding must be canceled," he said firmly. "Aleksis is my wife. I will take her home no matter what."

Lauriel nodded in agreement. Although he was very sad when he remembered Nicolae who loved Aleksis so much, it was still a fact that his goddaughter was married to Alaric. Her husband was still alive. And the two of them even had children together ... Of course, it would be impossible to force a marriage between Aleksis and Nicolae.

They had to tell the whole family about this.
