The Plan is Active II

Fiery Blessing's jaw dropped. "Wedding..." she echoed, her voice filled with surprise and a hint of disappointment.

Amelia, who had been listening quietly, blushed. "Alex..." she began, her voice soft. "The wedding can wait. If the Dragon King needs you, then you should go."

Alex shook his head firmly. "Nope."

Amelia's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "But Alex, the Dragon King-"

"I know," Alex interrupted, his voice gentle but firm. "But I've made a promise to you, Amelia. And I intend to keep it."

He took her hand in his, his gaze meeting hers. "The war is over. The Demon King is defeated. Now, it's time for us to focus on our own happiness."

Amelia's heart swelled with warmth, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. She nodded, her voice choked with emotion. "Okay," she whispered.

"So about that... maybe I'll go talk to him on the weekend after we're married," Alex said, trying to find a compromise.
