章 71: Chapter 70: LUCIEN

I admit that I've been stalling. Our marriage ceremony will be in just a few days and although by rights she should've met the sky monarch upon arrival I'd been able to hold him off for much longer than I'd expected. But once word got back to him that my parents had been invited to dinner, he wouldn't hear of waiting just a few more days.

Now to the reason I've been stalling. As the ruling monarch of the immortal world, my grandfather is known far and wide as a stoic no nonsense ruler who some sees as lacking in compassion and anything approaching emotion. He doesn't have much give in his dealings with the people he rules over and is known to be a hard taskmaster who does not suffer fools easily.
