The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 1247 The Wedding in Dreams

It was the grandmother who presided over Annan's wedding.

This should be the first and possibly the last wedding hosted by a righteous god in human history.

But the old grandmother's wedding was completely different from Annan's idea——

The old grandmother didn't say any prayers, didn't bless the two newcomers, and didn't ask "whether you want to accept each other" or other procedures.

She just talked plainly about the identities and achievements of the two people—what they have done, what talents they have, what enemies they have defeated, and what kind of outstanding people they are.

Then, the old grandmother took out a pitch-black dice.

She tossed it lightly, and light oozed from all six sides of the dice at the same time.The figures of Annan and Kafni suddenly disappeared.

The space of the wedding scene turned into a gorgeous sea of ​​silver-purple flowers in the blink of an eye.It was a garden cultivated by a certain generation of Popes of the Silver Lord and blessed by the Silver Lord.

This rose-like flower has almost transparent pure white petals.Violet branches and leaves can be seen through the translucent petals that are so white that they almost glow under the sunlight.

The pure flower sea intertwined with white and purple swayed under the blowing of the wind.

And the girl wearing a black gauze dress with moth patterns sat quietly in the garden.Her black curly hair fell to her shoulders, and her features were delicate and lovely, with a little baby fat on her cheeks.

Cafney's little black leather boots were taken off and neatly placed beside her.

Her nearly white feet stepped on a platform padded with white petals.Her legs are close together, a drawing board is placed on her thigh, and the hem of her skirt is also rolled up, revealing her fair calf.

She raised her head and stared straight at the sun.The crimson pupils shone like glass in the summer sun.

And standing beside her was the immature Annan with black shoulder-length hair.

Annan wore heavy robes that looked completely out of season with Cafney.It was white fur embroidered with intricate silver patterns. A circle of white fur near the hood protected Annan's neck, making Annan look furry.

Compared with the confused Kafni, Annan's pupils are deep and cold, like a bottomless ice lake.Even though he looked only seven or eight years old, he was exuding a cold air.

Behind him stood a skinny old man.The old man has sunken cheeks, deep eye sockets, and thinning hair. He is wearing a pure black slim-fit short clothing like a mourning dress, with his hands behind his back.

It looked like Annan's shadow.

The maid stood far away, stretched out her hand as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak, but in the end she didn't say a word.Because the old man behind Annan glanced at her slightly, the maid was silent.

"What you are looking at is the sun," Annan said in a cold and flat voice, "or... where is Mr. Yao?"

"It's Mr. Yao."

Kafni replied obediently.

She turned her head and watched with Annan.

The moment she saw Annan, her pupils trembled slightly.

The black-haired girl shrank her legs in fear, changed her kneeling position into a kneeling position, and tucked her calves under her skirt.It's like feeling the cold.

"Cold wind, harsh winter, icy lake water... Even though it is cold, it has not condensed into ice..."

Cafney murmured: "And, the light hidden at the bottom of the dark lake..."

Hearing this, Annan, who was just overlooking the girl like a god, suddenly frowned.

"……Light?"

"I can see it. It's a bright light."

Kafni looked into Annan's eyes, and said firmly and seriously: "In the darkest place, there is the brightest light hidden. It is a light that is gentler than Mr. Yao."

Hearing this, Annan was finally moved.

He was silent for a moment, then stepped forward.

Annan knelt down and held Kafni's hand, and clasped his index finger on Kafni's wrist silently.And Annan's left hand rested on Kafni's neck as if stroking her cheek.

—Actually, that's a technology used in lie detection.

"What's your name?"

he asked.

"...Caffney. Cafney Noah."

Cafney replied.

Compared with Annan's actions, Kafni was even more surprised that when her cold hand was holding Annan's, it turned out to be the warmer side.

When Annan's fingers brushed her neck and cheeks, there was a chill that made her want to pinch her neck tightly.Like a cold knife.

Instinctively, she gently clamped Annan's hand with her neck.

Even though it was extremely cold... But in her pupils, the inside of the ice leaked out a light that made her heart throb.Instinctively, she didn't want Annan to withdraw her hand, but she didn't clamp her neck either - that was the degree that Annan would not feel hindered as long as he wanted to withdraw his hand.

"You are so cold...isn't it uncomfortable?"

Kafni asked softly.

This is obviously not asking if Annan is feeling cold.So Annan did not reply to her.

Annan's eyes were cast on the drawing board on Kafni's lap.

Like blood, like flames, like the setting sun... the sky and the flower fields.

"Is this the future you see?"

Annan asked.

That didn't seem to be an inquiry, but just confirming his own thoughts.

Cafney hummed softly.

Annan gently closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

He ducked his head, just a punch away from Cafney's cheek.

"Stand up, Kafni," Annan declared, "and I will take you to defeat that future."

"...Am I acting as your witness?"

"you are my friend……"

Annan replied.

Afterwards, the screen gradually faded away.

And in the positions of the young Annan and Kafni, the appearance of Annan and Kafni in their teenage years now appears.Their movements are almost exactly the same as those in the phantom.

But Cafney wasn't wearing that black gauze dress.

Instead, she was wearing a long white dress.

Long white gloves cover the elbows.Under the fluffy white dress, there are also pure white stockings with intricate hollow patterns.Kafni's slightly curly black waist-length hair was loose, and a small crystal crown was worn on her head.

Annan, on the other hand, was wearing a long white dress. He looked almost exactly the same as when he first saw Cafney.It's just that there is a white frost animal skin cloak behind him, and his hands are also covered with gloves.

Annan's long white hair was even longer than Kafni's.It hung like this behind him.

He still kept holding Cafney's hand and holding Cafney's cheek.Just like in a fantasy.

"... even more my lover."

He answered: "You are my Eternal Daughter, Immortal Light. You are my shadow, the light cast from my shadow—"

With Annan's words.

He let go of Kafni's hand, embraced her bare back, lowered his head, and kissed her.

At the moment of their kiss, the shadow behind Kafni and the light under Annan's feet distorted and blended together—a radiance like a spinning starry sky bloomed in the room.

In the amazed and astonished gaze of the people——

As the light burst out from behind Annan, a pair of huge wings suddenly opened behind Kafni.

Those are soft wings with shadow-like feathers and pure white feathers.Countless feathers fluttered in the sky, and a feather floated down in front of each of the guests attending the wedding.

That was Cafney's grateful return.

Her blood-red pupils also faded completely at this moment—becoming pure purple gemstone-like, night-like eyes without pupils.

Seeing this scene, the corners of the grandmother's mouth rose slightly.

The so-called wedding...is itself one of the most primitive ceremonies.

It can be said to be perfect for completing the apostolic ceremony.

　update completed!
　　I have another half chapter tomorrow, and I haven't written about setting off to the future...

　　Because I thought I could double-update today, but I didn’t expect that the pig-dog fight without pigs and dogs took too long, and it took me a lot of time... The main reason is that the fight is not good-looking, which is the worst loss (sorrowful)
