Chapter 537 She said YES!
The king of vanaheim was momentarily stunned by the whirlpool of information that was dumped on him . He could not beleive that his daughter was having a kind-of love affair with someone and he was in the dark about it.
When he looked at his daughter , he saw happiness and eagerness in her eyes , an emotion that she had not displayed ever since her mother had passed away early in her childhood , and somehow he felt that he was powerless infront of those eyes.
He was sure that Ruby loved the newly crowned king , and although he was not from the elven race , his strong association with the Church as well as his heroics in his own kingdom , did make a strong case for his credentials.
Nevertheless , He would have rejected this marriage had Rudra not been a king , as just like Rudra said in his own speech , a princess can only be wed in as a queen and nothing less!
But since his daughter loved the guy soo much , as well as all his credentials and the fact that he indeed waited till he was worthy to become a king to ask for her hand in marriage , made the king of vanaheim lean more towards saying yes than no.
Rudra was not only the honorary Archbishop , but the elusive pope who would not visit vanaheim no matter how much the elves requested , personally came to coronate him at this event.
Not only was Rudra an ally of the church , but he was also a very close ally of Cervantez and Hazelgroove , both of whom were strategic partners of the elves.
From rising from a weak tier 0 existance to peak tier 3 in a matter of years was a testimony to his natural talent and limitless future , hence although he was not tier 4 at the moment , it was only a matter of time .
Taking all this into account , plus the fact that her daughter's happiness was in him saying yes , and the fact that Rudra valued family so much that he respectfully asked for her daughter's hand in marriage to him first , the king lightly said " Go , i have no objections to this union ".
Cheers erupted from the elites present in the room , as Ruby gave her father a small hug before rushing towards Rudra.
Rudra who was on his knees was incredibly nervous , however seeing Ruby rush towards him , the world seemed to slow down , as pure elation burst from the depths of his heart!
Ruby flung herself into Rudra's arms as the couple hugged tightly on the ground , as she said " YES , A MILLION TIMES YES ". As she cried on Rudra's shoulder.
Rudra felt that the world was a brighter place once he heard that reply as he hugged Ruby tightly as if she was the most precious thing in the entire universe to him , as he swore to never let her face even the slightest difficulty in the world .
The crowd burst into applause as even the pope laughed his heart out , while the Elites simply lost their damn minds.
Fatty who was seeing the entire scene rushed outside the altar , as he threw himself at the gates of the church as he screamed at the top of his lungs " SHE SAID YES , SHE SAID YES , WE HAVE A QUEEN NOW , RUBY SAID YES ! ".
The moment the good news were delivered to the rest of the elites , it was as if the entire town came alive as not only did they have a new king today ... But also a new queen?
Today was undoubtedly the greatest day in this decade , as everyone regardless of profession , age or financial position celebrated today with all their hearts , as the entire True Elites Kingdom celebrated their inception day as if it was the best thing to ever happen in their life.
Inside the altar , the foreign dignitaries , the various guildmasters and the kings and emperor's also felt the atmosphere to be joyous as the celebrative banquet after the coronation ceremony was extremely harmonious and happy.
Ruby and Rudra were inseparable , as Ruby kept on looking at the beautiful blue diamond ring on her finger with happiness and glee , as she felt all her dreams come true.
One after another everyone came over to congratulate the duo , as the Elites felt like the recent days had been the happiest days of their lives , which was exceptionally true for Rudra.
The live media coverage of the event saw these developments become the world's #1 trending news , as pictures of the elf Ruby started being circulated alongside the tag of the Elite Queen.
Countless men worldwide had a nose bleed when they saw Ruby's unreal charm and cuteness , as the elven princess was a hidden gem that not many had ever even caught a glimpse of before today.
This made them incredibly jealous and spiteful , however they could do nothing about it except for simping on Ruby from a distance as her man was not someone to be trifled with.
Rudra was powerful beyond common sense , as his battle with the ten rankers of the dark faction highlighted , and now that he was king , there was not a single player force in the nothern continent , that could easily offend him.
Had Rudra been a weaker man with no background , many perverts would wage a war with him over Ruby however that was never going to be a scenario now , with the strength that he commanded.
The only people shocked by this development were Mama and Papa Rajput who had pale white faces as they tried to understand where they had gone wrong in their education of Rudra.
They could not understand how Rudra would fall in love with a character that was not even real , irrespective of how cute she looked.
She was nothing but binary for them , a sequence of zeroes and one's , and nothing worth paying attention to . However the reality of the situation was that their stupid son was apparently in love with her , and was even going to wed her.
Mama rajput felt bad for Naomi , as she could feel the pinch in her heart for raising a two timing son who openly courted another woman even though he had such a beautiful girlfriend back in real life.
She glared at papa Rajput as she said " I told you we should have married him off , but you said nooo the times have changed and nobody married at 24 anymore , now see , the lack of s** has made our son go chase unreal women in games , *weeping noises* ".
Papa Rajput felt wronged , he was the strongest supporter of team reality , however at this moment all blame was being pinned on him , as if this entire situation was his doing and h bas the sole culprit of it all.
Max who was also watching on did not have the same reservations as his parents as he looked at Ruby and only said " Pretty ... , big brother looks soo happy :) ".
It was only then that mama and papa Rajput actually got over their initial shock and noticed how happy Rudra looked on television as he sat with his hands intertwined with Ruby , as one after another people came to greet him at the banquet.
He was actually looking like he was having the best time of his life , which soothed mama and papa to a certain degree , as no matter what , seeing their son happy was the first priority for them , even if they could not accept it completely.
Mama rajput only hoped that Naomi would not feel bad about the whole situation , however she did not know that Naomi knew about the situation from before she and Rudra ever dated , and hence although for a moment she felt her heart to be incredibly heavy , when she saw how happy Rudra was everything became bliss for her too.
She had made her peace , that for as long as Rudra cared for her and paid attention to her as well , and satisfied her , she did not care if he used his extra energy on Ruby.
She even wholeheartedly congratulated the couple and told Ruby that she could not wait to become friends with her once she was settled into the elites.
Naturally she did not reveal her connection with Rudra , and it was only a small conversation , Ruby's womanly senses alerted her that this girl was trouble.
Although she did not show it infront of Rudra , she made a mental note in her mind to keep her fiancè away from her.
Naturally she was in for a hell of a conversation once Rudra would reveal the truth about his relationship with her , however that was a matter for much later , hence Rudra did not think much about it for now.
For now he had accomplished one of his biggest goals and ambitions in life , as he felt proud to have Ruby by his side as his fiance , with the blessing of his father , openly infront of the millions in the world.
Only he knew about the countless times that he wanted to kick the bucket , yet Ruby's image waiting for him would not let him , as he would push beyond his limits to achieve the impossible.
From a nobofy from country X , he was now the only king of a kingdom inside Omega , and one of the biggest motivations of that journey was the woman sitting right next to him , as Rudra finally felt like he changed something in his second life , and he had far surpassed his past self now.
The only goal that remained now for him was to make the Elites the biggest and strongest guild in the whole world and become the undisputed strongest guild master for all generations to come!
--------
While the elites partied like there was no tommorow , their enemies the blood merchants and dronacharya started their preparations to take them down in full swing .
Buying materials , training the army and stocking on resources was all happening in large quantities , as dronacharya liquidated a large portion of his wealth to help the cause.
Delivering on his promise to monetarily aid the organisation , he earned a bit of the trust from scar-face as the latter now included him in strategic meetings .
Slowly but surely , a grand army to topple the elites with many hidden cards was being prepared.
The elites were in for their biggest war of all time in a matter of few months .
