The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1220: Relaxed Schedule

The drinking and celebrations ran late into the evening, but Karl wasn’t too worried.

The ceremony didn’t begin until mid-afternoon, and the men had a much easier time getting ready than the ladies would.

They already had their outfits for the wedding, courtesy of Rae. They had their Fae staff members assigned to get them ready for the wedding, and even breakfast was scheduled.

So, he didn’t feel the least bit guilty about coming into the room well after dark, or about waking Dana up early the next morning to enjoy the private hot spring in their room.

A brisk rap at the door was followed by the appearance of three small girls in the room. Lotus had brought Button and Misty to help get Dana up and ready.

Or perhaps Misty had brought the other two, given that they didn’t use the door but teleported into the suite.

“Time to get up and get moving!

Oh good, you don’t have clothes on, so you don’t have to get undressed.

We brought special bubbles for the bubble bath, but we have been informed that we are not allowed to use them in the hot springs.” Lotus announced.

Karl laughed as he got up and equipped a pair of shorts. “I guess it’s that time. I will go meet with the gentlemen and begin to prepare. Let me know if you need me to send anyone in to assist.”

Lotus waved her hand. “Everyone will be here soon enough. It’s good that the suite is so big, or we would need to move after the bath.”

Karl just shook his head in dismay as Dana threw a spare towel at the nature cleric, and then walked to the bath.

“Good luck, ladies.”

Then Karl was off to find breakfast, leaving them to the utter chaos that was wedding day bridal preparations.

They were ostensibly finished planning every detail, but now that Rae had seen the staff who worked at the resort, she wanted to change all their uniforms for the wedding.

She had been informed twice this morning that it wasn’t possible, mostly because the Faeries would have panic attacks if you wrapped them in Demonic Spider silk, but she was determined to find a way around the problem.

Unlike the chaos of Dana’s preparations, the men’s side was nearly military efficiency.

When Karl arrived to check the venue, the men had checklists in one hand, breakfast burritos in the other, and they were checking every detail against the plans that Matilda had left for them, or bringing in the final few items that hadn’t been part of the resort’s inventory.

“Gentlemen, is there anything I can help with?” Karl asked.

“For now, nothing. Just grab something to eat and then prepare for the barber and the stylist.” Lord Drodh explained.

Deve, Raj and Hugo were all at the table when Karl arrived, wearing casual outfits for the morning.

“The Chaos Dragon booked the spa for us at noon so that we will all be ready for the event. Why we need to look good, I am not sure. But we will.” Deve explained.

Karl chuckled. “Are the wife and kids here? Or was it just you on this trip?”

“Cara tried to argue in favour of my wife coming along with the kids, but I made plans for them to go visit her mother instead. Letting the badgers plot against you never ends well, so when they get too excited about something, you need to make alternate plans for them to get excited about.” Deve explained.

Hugo chuckled, and Karl noticed that Annabelle, the Mythic Mage that Rae had given an idol dress, was sitting with Raj. They weren’t in the same Guild, so that must be his date for the event.

Raj winked at Karl when he noticed his look. “The invitations included a plus one. Hugo has a plus one around here somewhere as well, but I think she’s still sleeping.”

The restaurant where they had chosen to have breakfast was rapidly filling with guests for the wedding, most of whom were either wearing the resort’s robes or swim shorts in preparation for a morning at the hot springs before getting ready for the wedding.

A quick inspection found that Davis, Ashbringer and Wendy, the Oni apprentice Runecrafter, were all sitting at a table in the corner engrossed in conversation, while Mick was up at the buffet, looking torn between Fae wine or juice for breakfast.

Karl had just finished double-checking that the name plates for the family members were right when a small group of Immortal Ranked men arrived.

“Totem Karl, congratulations on your wedding. The Supreme Lady invited us.” One of the men explained.

“Ah, welcome. Old friends of the Supreme Lady?” Karl asked.

The Immortal chuckled. “You could call us something like that. We are all Guild Masters of the Darklight Host on different worlds.”

That got the attention of everybody. What sort of Guild had locations on multiple planets? And for that matter, how did that even work? Was the system not exclusive to their planet?

“I see that we have caused many more questions than we have answered. Well, I can solve most of those, as it appears that your world has forgotten.” The Immortal continued.

“Thank you. Our world just went through a ten thousand year period where the ley lines were too far beneath the surface for most of the world to access the system. So, you could say that it was a rough time for anyone not an immortal.” Karl explained.

“That does sound troublesome. My world has the same issue, but it fluctuates between Immortality and mortality. So, during certain periods, it is nearly impossible to become Immortal.

The others here mostly live on worlds that the World Dragon scattered into the Immortal Realm.

Well, except Dave. Dave moved his whole planet into the Immortal Realm in a separate space because he got sick of transferring them mana.”

The Immortal that he called Dave chuckled, and Karl checked his name plate with the System interface.

{Davocarakint}

Yeah, he was Dave. That looked much too hard to pronounce in Common.

It wasn’t bad in Draconic, though, and the man was a Dragon of some sort. Not a Chromatic Dragon, though. His magic didn’t feel right.
