Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start?

Chapter 295: Chapter292-The Wedding Continues



Inside the imperial capital, countless guests gathered once again to continue the unfinished wedding.

This time, the atmosphere was even livelier than before the ceremony had been interrupted.

Although everyone had strong faith in Owen, the attack from the nine great factions of Middle Earth had cast a heavy shadow over them.

Now that the threat had dissipated, and Owen had displayed power that left countless mages in awe, their loyalty to him was unwavering. There was no more doubt or worry; everyone was genuinely happy for the couple.

What surprised the guests even more was that the Lord of Stars and the War Goddess had not left after the battle but had stayed to serve as witnesses for Owen and Leslie's wedding!

These two were among the most powerful and legendary figures in existence. Even catching a glimpse of them was rare, let alone having them officiate a wedding.

This was a grand honor.

Under the guidance of the Lord of Stars and the War Goddess, the wedding resumed.

"Mr. Owen, do you take Miss Leslie as your wife? To love her, be loyal to her, and stand by her, in sickness and in health, for all of time?"

The War Goddess, clad in her battle armor, looked at Owen with the solemnity of a priest.

Owen gazed lovingly at Leslie and said,

"I take you as my wife, to love and respect you. No matter what the future holds-whether in hardship or joy—I will stand by you. As I extend my hand for you to hold, I entrust my life to you."

Then the Lord of Stars turned to Leslie with a respectful tone,

"Miss Leslie, do you take this man as your husband? To love him, be loyal to him?"

Leslie looked deeply into Owen's eyes and replied,

"I take you as my husband, to support you, care for you, and no matter what the future holds, I will always protect you by your side."

Their gazes locked, filled with love, making countless onlookers envious.

"They've been through so much, and finally, they've reached this point!"

Many in the imperial capital who knew the past of Owen and Leslie felt tears welling up.

The mages from Academy City, who were documenting the event, also felt awe and admiration.

"We've studied Owen and Leslie's journey in detail. In just a few short years, they've accomplished things most people couldn't achieve in a lifetime!"

"Mr. Owen's strength is now on par with the world's greatest, and to think he started from a mere bronze-tier mage... It's nothing short of a miracle."

"There's never been anyone like him, and there may never be another."

"At his current age and level of power, he's already managed to extort the Forbidden Zones. One can only imagine how terrifying his strength will be once he reaches his full potential." "Perhaps the ancient turmoil of the Forbidden Zones will finally come to an end with Owen." "Miss Leslie is extraordinary too. They're truly a match made in heaven."

"She's had a difficult life, but now, as an empress and a warrior capable of challenging even the Archgod, it's hard to fathom the hardships she's endured to reach this point."

"Even before the wedding, they had already caused a stir in Middle Earth, shaking the entire plane. With the news of this wedding, even greater waves are sure to follow."

At that moment, every mage watching Owen and Leslie had eyes filled with blessings and hope.

The historians from Blood City, who were recording the moment, suddenly noticed something strange. As the couple raised their wine glasses in celebration, a golden light began to descend from the heavens!

A celestial phenomenon!

The golden rays bathed everyone in the capital, warming them, and many felt their ailments vanish, as if they were soaking in a soothing hot spring.

"They really are destined for each other. A wedding that even calls forth a celestial phenomenon-this must be a first in history!"

Countless people marveled at the sight. Celestial phenomena were exceedingly rare, but now they were witnessing one during the wedding ceremony.

Owen looked at Leslie bathed in the golden light and felt as if she had gained a new level of grace, as if she were a pure and noble angel.

To Leslie, Owen under the golden light appeared like a prince from legend, radiating nobility and even more charm.

Under the golden rays, they slowly embraced and kissed.

In that moment, the world seemed to fall silent.

After a long time, their lips parted.

They looked at each other, seeing the reflection of themselves in each other's eyes.

From this moment onward, they were truly one, bound together in honor and adversity, never to be separated again.

The Lord of Stars and the War Goddess watched the couple with deep envy.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Though they were among the most powerful beings in the world, able to obtain almost anything they desired, they had never found someone to walk with them through life, someone to grow with.

In Owen and Leslie, they saw hope for such a journey.

These two were not only supremely talented but also shared similar personalities.

No matter what storms or changes life brought, they would support and encourage each other, walking through the trials of life together.

Although the Lord of Stars and the War Goddess were powerful, they had never experienced such happiness.

In the crowd, Archdemon couldn't take her eyes off Leslie.

How she wished that Owen's true love had been her instead.

But she knew it was just a one-sided fantasy. If she ever revealed her feelings, it might even

ruin their friendship.

With a soft sigh, she looked down, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Other women who harbored feelings for Owen, like Marry and others, felt similarly.

Owen's brilliance had attracted many admirers, but Leslie's radiance was too dazzling, causing them to hesitate.

Now that Owen and Leslie were truly united, they knew all hope for themselves was lost. "Owen, from now on, House Ravenwood will always be your home!"

At this point, Duke Charles was wiping away his tears.

Although Leslie wasn't his biological daughter, he had raised her from childhood and had deep feelings for her.

"Leslie, don't worry. Even though you've married Owen, Duke Charles' manor will always be your family home. If Owen ever mistreats you, I'll be the first to stand up for you!"

Duke Charles wiped away the last of his tears and spoke seriously.

Owen chuckled and replied,

"If Leslie desires the stars in the sky, I'll bring them down for her!"

Owen had great respect for Duke Charles, so he made this promise with sincerity.

Duke Charles nodded in approval but then added,

"And if Leslie ever bullies you, I'll be sure to see justice done for you as well!"

Hearing this, Leslie playfully rolled her eyes at Duke Charles.

Owen, however, thought that Duke Charles' words were likely a setup for this joke. After all, in

the original story, Leslie was a ruthless and fearsome antagonist.

Although Leslie had hidden her true nature well, Duke Charles must have sensed her character

and emotions after living with her for so many years.

However, Owen's presence had disrupted the original timeline. The current Leslie had

softened, showing more warmth-if only to him and a select few.

But that was enough for him.

"Sister, congratulations on finding the man of your dreams!"

At that moment, Madelyn approached, her eyes red with emotion. Although Leslie often appeared cold, Madelyn knew that she hadn't always been this way.

When they were younger, Leslie had been like a caring older sister, always looking out for her. But after Leslie learned of her mother's death, she had changed completely.

In Madelyn's heart, there were two versions of Leslie: the kind, nurturing sister, and the cold, detached one who seemed indifferent to everything and was feared by others.

Now, with the rare smile on Leslie's face, Madelyn felt like she was seeing both versions of

her sister merge into one.

She knew that with Owen's help, her sister had finally escaped her past nightmares. "Thank you, Madelyn. Without you, Owen and I may have never crossed paths." Leslie smiled

gently.
