Chapter 989 Chapter 989: The fated meeting

The News of the Queen's marriage spread everywhere, shocking many people at their core, especially when they found out who she was marrying.

Throughout the time, everyone was left guessing her reasoning and her purpose.

The wedding preparations were on pace. At a time when the entire Star Alliance was trying to find the enemy that killed their Generals, the Royal Palace was being decorated and celebration was being prepared, which was even more bizarre to everyone.

Throughout the days, Lucifer stayed in the Star Alliance headquarters. He hadn't been called by the Queen even now, but he personally didn't go to meet her either. In any case, he didn't believe he could change her mind. The future that he had seen was probably impossible to change according to him.

The only thing he could do was to stay prepared. According to what he saw, the wedding went through, only for him to kill the Queen in the future for some reason. Even now, he couldn't guess why he would do such a thing like that.

This marriage gave him an opportunity to get close to her and get the answers that he needed. On the contrary, if he didn't agree, he might have been punished. The choice to him was simple as there was only one valid option for him to follow.

The Wedding was seven days after the declaration of the wedding by the Queen and six days had already passed, leaving only one day before the fateful day was to arrive.

Almost all the preparations were complete and guests had also started to arrive. Mainly, every important person in this universe was now in the Domain of Star Alliance.

Ron's father and mother also arrived with his younger sister to attend the wedding. Raayi's father also arrived, bringing her two elder brothers with him. It was said to be one of the biggest events of the century if one was to ignore the death of five Generals that happened just a little more than a week ago.

"Little Girl, you seem disappointed. You don't want him to marry, do you?" Raayi's Grandfather was accompanying her in his office. Lucifer and Ron had already left to meet Ron's family.

Raayi didn't answer. She just looked down. "I don't know. I don't know why... But I feel strange... I feel uncomfortable."

"You like the little brat, don't you?" The old man asked.

Raayi couldn't answer. Even she didn't know what was going on in her heart. Even though her initial equation with Lucifer was bad, but with time her bond had gotten stronger. Whenever she was with Lucifer, she felt slightly happy. It was as if she was supposed to be there and she liked it. She didn't know what that feeling was.

"You think I can't see what's in your heart? The moment I saw you looking at him for the first time, I realized it. I also wanted to make him a son in law of our family. Albeit, destiny had something else in mind. That boy somehow won over the Queen. His destiny is not something that we can control now."

"After this marriage, his status will be even above me. That boy... He is already out of our reach. I think you should forget those feelings you had for him... That would be best for both of us."

The old man wanted to help his granddaughter, but even he knew that it was an impossible task. After the Queen married Lucifer, how could she even let him marry another girl? That was not only disrespectful for her with her status, but also impossible.

Raayi remained silent, not speaking anything. Her heart was filled with sadness.

After meeting up with Ron's family, Lucifer left them to catch up as he was left all alone.

The two people were with their families now. Only his family wasn't here. He couldn't help but wonder what his father and his mother would've said if they found out that he was getting married. He hadn't even invited them since he didn't want them to know.

"There you are!"

Lucifer had just left the Ostrin family when he felt someone's hands on his shoulders.

He turned around, noticing a Star Alliance member. "Do you need something?"

"Her Majesty has invited you to have tea with her. Please accompany me." The middle aged man stated, respectfully.

As Lucifer was going to be married to the Queen, no one dared to be disrespectful to him anymore. Even if they had a higher status for now, after twenty four hours, they knew Lucifer's status was going to shoot up. They had to be respectful.

"She wants to meet me? I thought she would meet me directly on the day of the wedding."?After six days, he had already lost hopes of her meeting him. She didn't even explain her decision to the guy she wanted to marry. He didn't expect her to call him on the last day.

He followed the man who escorted him out of the Star Alliance headquarters. The man led Lucifer to the Royal Palace.

This time, all the guards were also more respectful to him, at least on the outside. On the inside, they were all looking down at him. For them, he was just a man who was favoured by the gods who luckily won the heart of their Queen, even though he didn't deserve it.

Inside the Royal Palace, there were many facilities available since the Palace covered a vast land. However, the most favourite part of the Queen was the Garden in the palace.

The Royal Garden was a place which was filled with the world's most exotic plants and flowers. In the centre of the garden, there was a platform which was empty.

"You can go inside," the middle aged man told Lucifer as he stopped outside the garden. "Her Majesty is waiting inside for you."

Lucifer stepped inside the majestic garden, being greeted with a sight like never before. The scent of flowers was filling the air. There was something mystical about those flowers which could instantly alleviate a person's mood.

The garden only had one path in the middle which was further split into three paths. It was as if he was in the maze of these flowers. Fortunately, the flowers only came up to his knees, not obstructing his vision. He could see a woman's back in the distance.

The woman was dressed in a white gown, seemingly distracted by the flowers before her.

Lucifer walked through the maze of flowers and reached the woman, finally realizing what she was looking at.

In front of her, there was a flower which had died. The flower leaves had fallen and already dried. In the beautiful garden, this was the only flower like that.

The Queen of Star Alliance was focused on that flower.

"Even after all the care in the world, some things can't be avoided," she muttered, finally taking her eyes off the flowers with a deep sigh. "Am I right, Lucifer?"

"Some things truly can't be avoided," Lucifer nodded. "No matter how much one wants. But what we can do is to continue growing."

He reached out his hand, placing his fingers on the withered flower. As soon as his fingers touched the floor, the flower turned to dust.

However, before the Queen could say anything, a new flower started growing out of the same place.

"Every end is a new beginning after all," Lucifer stated.

"Every end is a new beginning... Wise words. Albeit, not always correct." The Queen held her hands behind her back as she started walking toward the central platform which gave the best view of the beautiful garden.

Lucifer also followed the lady.

"Sometimes an end is just that... An end. Something that no one can avoid. And once that end comes, everything is over... No more new beginnings, only the eternal end," the Queen continued, seemingly lost in some thought for the moment.

*I'm sure you have many questions you want to ask me?" She asked, casually glancing back. "For example, why did I suddenly decide to marry you?"

"I did have that question. If you would like to tell me, I would be happy to listen," Lucifer replied.

"And if I don't want to tell you?" The woman asked. "What then?"

"Nothing," Lucifer answered. "Even if you don't want to tell me, I can't do anything. You're the Queen of the Star Alliance. I can only go along with fate."

The woman didn't respond. She just kept walking.

The two of them reached the platform in the middle where two cups of tea were already waiting for them. Strangely enough, the tea was still warm, as if it was just poured. However, from the start till the end, Lucifer didn't see anyone here.

"Have a seat," the woman gestured to Lucifer before she also took a seat. "Today, I called you for two reasons. I'm sure by the time we're done, you'll have all the answers you're looking for."
