Chapter 224: Chapter 222: The Day Arrives

The divisive day approached and inevitably arrived. It was the day that caused civil unrest, fierce arguments, and heavy objections: the Ceremony of Acceptance. It was fairly simple, lesser than a wedding, and practiced amongst human societies. It held similar characteristics to a Dao Companion Ceremony, but far more one-sided.

The acceptance of a concubine, man or woman, was done through this method. A gathering, a celebration, an oath, and a kiss. It would all be witnessed by those invited, by the heavens and earth, and by loved ones. During the oath, the concubine in question would swear an oath of loyalty, and this was more traditional and not Spirit of Heaven-based.
