Before the Marriage Ritual (Part 1)

"Do we need to prepare anything?"

"No. We will take care of everything for you. There's a separate house next to this temple. You will both stay there until the time of the marriage ritual arrives. You also need to be there after the ceremony to strengthen your bond further."

Chief Elder and Zosimo looked at each other and gave a meaningful smile. Vaughn and Zenia did not find anything wrong with it. They just shrugged their shoulders.

"We need to return first to the guest house and get our belongings."

Zosimo was surprised at Zenia's decision and asked, "Madam, do you plan to return to your home after the ritual? There are lots of things to see in Shadora. I will gladly give you a tour."

"Ah, we just need to bring our things here because we plan to stay here for a bit after the ritual. Are we not allowed to do that? Besides, we will still return to the guest house. We already paid for the two-week stay that we planned to spend here."
