Old Lady and a Strange Marriage Ceremony

Alan holds Rose in his arms while walking towards the gate. The moment he steps in, something flies up to the sky, followed by several others.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosion in the sky suddenly got her attention. It was nearly the evening. Fortunately, it was an evening. Those explosions were fireworks. Rose's eyes sparkled when she saw several colorful fireworks exploding in the sky.

The brightness turned the entire north shine. And, some fireworks wrote few letters in the sky. As Rose read those words, her eyes widened.

"HAPPY MARRIAGE LIFE, KING!"

"WELCOME TO THE WEREWOLVES TRIBE, QUEEN!"

It was so beautiful that Rose couldn't help but wrap her hands around his neck and give him a smooch on his cheeks. She likes works. And, fireworks this beautiful and also for her was like a dream to her.

"Thank you so much!" Rose said to Alan after smooching him.

"No, thank you! If you hadn't slept, the fireworks wouldn't be this beautiful." Alan smirked with a charming smile. This time his smile crossed several borders and stuck her heart hard. She blushed a little while resting her head in his chest.

Alan kept walking straight. But, soon they were already surrounded by many people. Surprisingly, none of them were in their wolf form. She looked around and saw houses. She saw many people staring at her. There was not a single person in the road, not even the guards.

The whole road was paved with red carpet. And, the entire houses were designed with flowers.

"Let me down! It's so embarrassing." Rose whispered in his ears. Her voice was the same as a buzzing mosquito.

"I can't do that. This is a ritual. Bare this with me! It's going to be a long ride." Alan smirked and shook his head. He obviously couldn't let her down nor can he stop. He needs to continuously walk towards his destination.

In the middle, he suddenly turned to the right side. It wasn't a junction. Rather, few ladies were waiting at that side. Between those ladies, there was an old lady. She seems very old and could barely stand. When Alan reached near them, every other lady kneeled to the ground.

Rose was a little shocked by it. Then, two ladies brought two small red rugs and put them in front of them. Only then, Alan spoke "Don't move out of the rug! And, sit on your knees!"

As he said, he carefully lifted her. She bents her legs to the back as he placed her on the rug. At the same time, the entire crowd, everyone except the old lady falls to their knees. No one, not a single person was on his foot.

Because, at this moment, Alan sits on his knees. A king shouldn't bow. A king shouldn't kneel. A king shouldn't be disrespected.

But, a king is only a king inside his country. He could kneel but not in his country and not in front of the people. At this moment, every citizen of the wolf tribe was watching him. And, all of them must kneel and keep their head down so that they won't see their king on his knees.

Alan puts a solemn and proud expression even when he was on his knees. The old woman slowly walks in front of him, holding a plate. It was not an ordinary plate. It was made out of shining jewels and gold. There was a red color mixed with liquid on it.

She used touched the color paste with her ring fingertip and placed it on his forehead. Then, she placed her hand on his forehead and muttered "O' Great Wolf God, give your blessing to this child! Give him the blessing to lead your children!"

"He is the chosen one. He shall bear the burden of a tribe. He shall bear the burden of a king. Alan Lake! From today, you shall be the true king of the Wolf Tribe. From today, your own decision shall be the final decision."

"Whether the tribe strives towards greatness or it falls towards darkness, everything from now will be in your hands. Show me the kingdom that Yadrin built, show me the power that Yadrin possessed, reach his height and surpass him, take the Wolf Kingdome to the peak of this world."

As she finished her words, she took her hand away. Her name was Jenny. She was nearly twenty thousand years old. No one knows how she survived this long? Does no one know how powerful she is? But, she is old nonetheless.

Her body has already started showing its effect. Even so, nobody dared to go against her will. Even, the king must bow before her. She is the only person that has been living from the birth of this kingdom. After blessing Alan, her eyes turned at Rose.

She rubbed her finger at the paste once again and placed it on her forehead. After that, she muttered, "Your red eyes shall shine like the sun."

When her words rang on Rose's ears, her body shuddered.

"Your silver hair shall be the moon for our kingdom. You are destined. Whether it is for inheriting his Yang or possessing those eyes and hairs. One day, you will lead Alan towards greatness. Challenges will come knocking at your door."

"Make yourself stronger and become the second backbone of the kingdom. Our Wolf Kingdom humbly welcomes our Queen 'Rose Carter'. She shall inherit the rightful throne of the queen."

Then, she turns her head at Alan and continues "Bring her to the palace! After three days, we will begin your grand ceremony."

Hearing those words, Alan nods his head with a serious expression on his face. He slowly stands up and brings his arm closer. But, he does it so slowly that Rose gets the idea for his action. She shyly lays her upper body at his right arm while making the space between the back of her legs and her butt.

Alan paves the path for his hand and lifts her up. After lifting her, he walks out of the red rug and continues his journey.
