Rise of the Fallen Son-in-law Chapter 26
Celeste hesitated for a moment before answering, "I'm fine, just thinking about what to pack."Markus eyed the pile of luggage on the floor, noting the amount of dresses, shoes, and jewelry that had been laid out. "That's quite a bit to bring with us," he said, trying to keep his tone light. "Are you sure you'll need all of that?"Celeste laughed and shook her head. "No, I don't need any of this," she admitted.As the carriage rolled along the winding road, Celeste's mind was a whirlwind of emotions. She was happy to be with Markus, excited to see the kingdom of New Arcadia, and yet filled with dread at the thought of what they might encounter there. She was determined to stay strong and face whatever challenges came their way, but she couldn't help but feel a little afraid. Still, she kept a brave face for the sake of her husband, who was focused on the road ahead."You led us to this wretched place!" Lord Blackwood huffed. "What kind of a fool chooses to travel to such a miserable la

Leonidas continued, still smiling. "I'm more like a guardian of the animal kingdom, here to protect and preserve all the creatures of the world."Celeste and Markus exchanged a glance, still not quite sure what to make of this strange man.Leonidas studied Markus with a curious expression, as if trying to figure him out. He could tell that Markus was trying his best, but his efforts were falling short. And yet, he couldn't help but be intrigued by this strange, bold man who seemed to be so out of his element. In the end, Leonidas just shrugged, unsure of what to make of it all.Celeste, sensing the tension, stepped in to try and smooth things over. "So, Leonidas," she began, her voice calm and reassuring.As Celeste reached out to touch Leonidas's hand, he flinched, his eyes going wide. He didn't want to be rude, but he wasn't used to being touched by humans. It was all so new and overwhelming. He tried to focus on what Celeste was saying, but his mind was racing.Meanwhile, the Blackw

Leonidas continued to look from Celeste to Markus, feeling increasingly uneasy. He was afraid that he had somehow offended them both. "Look, I'm really sorry if I said anything weird," he said, hoping to make things right."Are you okay, Markus?" Leonidas asked, his tone gentle and concerned. "It's not about you, really," Markus replied, his voice flat. "Let's just forget about it and focus on what we're here for." He gestured towards the library, indicating that they should move on.Leonidas hesitated, still feeling uneasy. But he didn't want to make things worse, so he followed Markus into the library. The room was massive, with shelves upon shelves of books. It was like a sea of knowledge, waiting to be explored.Markus couldn't help but feel a little insecure in the presence of Leonidas. The young king seemed so knowledgeable and self-assured. Meanwhile, Markus felt like he was just a bumbling fool. He tried to hide his discomfort, but Leonidas could see right through him."Are you

Mr. Blackwood watched as Markus mounted a pegasi and took off into the night. He knew exactly where he was headed, and a dark smile spread across his face. "Perfect," he whispered, rubbing his hands together. "He's left the kingdom. Now we can finally put our plan into action."A malicious glint flashed in his eyes as he began to make his move. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he wasn't about to let it slip through his fingers....Mrs. Blackwood opened the bag expecting to find Celeste's newly bought clothes and jewelry, but instead found her old clothes. She was confused, but decided to keep looking.Meanwhile, Celeste was bathing and enjoying the hot water. Mrs. Blackwood was not pleased."Celeste, where are your new clothes?" Mrs. Blackwood asked, her voice tight with annoyance.Celeste looked up from her bath, confused. "What do you mean? I only brought the clothes that I packed."Mrs. Blackwood huffed. "You must have forgotten your new clothes at home. I'

The God King's voice boomed through the courtyard, startling the birds from the trees. "What is the meaning of this?" he demanded, his eyes fixed on Markus. "Why have you brought this man here?"The guards shifted uneasily, glancing at each other before one of them stepped forward to speak. "Your Majesty, this man was found lurking near the palace grounds. We do not know his intentions, but thought it best to bring him before you."Markus' mind raced as he remembered the battle that had taken place not so long ago. The God King had spared his life, but the memory of their fight was still fresh in his mind. He knew that he was on thin ice, and that any wrong move could spell disaster.Fiona's eyes were fixed on him, burning with hatred and resentment. She had once held him in such high regard, but now he was nothing more than a hated rival in her eyes.

As Mrs. Blackwood sobbed in her chambers, Mr. Blackwood tried to console her. "It's not as bad as you think," he said. "The dinner was a bit awkward, but that's to be expected. The king was actually quite taken with Celeste."Mrs. Blackwood sniffled and wiped her eyes. "Are you sure?" she asked. "I thought it was a disaster.""Celeste is a smart and capable woman," Mr. Blackwood said. "She can handle this." He tried to sound confident, but he knew it was a difficult situation....The next day, as Celeste and Leo sat down to dinner, the in-laws were determined to make sure nothing would ruin the meal. They had locked all the animals in the stables, and the servants had been instructed to keep a close eye on them. The in-laws sat at the table, smugly content that this time, things would go smoothly.But as they looked over at Celeste and Leo, they saw something they hadn't anticipated. The king was actually smiling and laughing with Celeste. He was making jokes and telling stories, and

As Fiona soared through the sky on the Pegasus, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy. She had long been enamored with Markus , and she had hoped that one day he would see her for the goddess she was. But now, he was spending all his time with that pesky mortal, Celeste.She wondered what he saw in her. Was it her intelligence? Her wit? Or was it simply the fact that she was different from all the other goddesses he had met?As Markus and Fiona flew through the sky, Fiona was unimpressed by the view below them. She had seen many kingdoms in her time, and Leonidas's kingdom was nothing special to her. She was more interested in the drama that was unfolding, and she couldn't wait to see the look on Celeste's face when she and Markus arrived. She wondered if Celeste would be angry, sad, or simply resigned to her fate. Whatever the case, Fiona knew that it would be a moment to savor. As the goddess of chaos, Fiona was indeed a powerful and irresistible force. She could have anyone s

"I will accept you as my husband," she said, her words clipped and sharp."But we have not gone through the proper courtship yet. We must follow the proper steps." Leo's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "You would accept me as your husband?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly. "But..."Celeste felt a twinge of jealousy as she watched Fiona and Leo getting closer. She knew that Fiona was moving on with Leo just to show her up, to prove that she was better than her in every way. And the worst part was, Celeste knew that it was true. Fiona was a literal goddess, and Celeste was just a lowly mortal. No matter what she did, she would never be able to compete with someone like Fiona.Celeste had never felt so alone. Despite being in a relationship with Markus, she felt a distance between them that she couldn't seem to close. He was blooming with powers, growing stronger and more confident every day, while she felt her own vitality slipping away. It was as if they were on different paths, m
