The familiar presence and figure prompted Benjamin to turn around and look at the newcomer expressionlessly. "So, you've finally decided to show yourself."
Still dressed in a flamboyant suit, Zidane met Benjamin's gaze with a calm expression on his strikingly bewitching face. Then, he softly sighed and replied, "The underworld never interferes in mortal affairs."
Benjamin said, "That's why I didn't seek out the current Morvahnn but you."
Zidane shrugged. "Doesn't make a difference."
He walked past Benjamin and casually flopped onto the couch, ignoring the latter's stare. Then, he said, "Mystic has yet to recover from the toll of opening the mystic network. Neither Mordecai nor I can help you right now."
His tone shifted, and he continued, "But… Though the underworld can't meddle in affairs of the mortal realm, I'm here today simply as a partner to deliver a wedding gift to you and your bride."
Gone was the usual indifference on his face as he looked straight at Benjamin and seriously said, "I know what you're trying to do. So, as your wedding gift, I'll ensure today's wedding livestream isn't just visible to the mortal realm but also to every corner of the underworld."
The strength of faith was not exclusive to humans. In this world, all sentient beings, including spirits, ghosts, and demons, were capable of faith.
He hoped that today, Benjamin's wish could come true.
…
The sun hung high overhead just like the day Benjamin met Shannon.
She'd stood alone like a lost child outside the towering gates of the villa. With blank eyes, she'd watched Hector walk toward her and take her hand, bringing her to his side.
…
As the wedding drew near, people across all realms waited in collective anticipation for its commencement.
"They said there'd be a livestream, but no one's mentioned where!"
