The Demon King's Paladin

Chapter 90. Start Of The Big Day

The light of the sun woke me up today. I've been going to sleep earlier than usual recently. Today's the day. It's been 3 weeks since Warrick made the announcement. Since today is the day Sarah, Anna and I would marry. For 3 weeks I've been splitting my time between healing the sick in hospitals in BlackStone City in the morning. Then shadowing Warrick from the afternoon till dinner time. I then spend the rest of my time with Sarah, Anna and the others. Then at night, Sarah and Anna would join me to sleep together. It would be a wonder how we have barely done anything together while we're alone in my room. If only for the fact that I wasn't so tired I fall asleep within the first 20 or so minutes of my head hitting my pillow. I felt bad until I asked Sarah and Anna if they were mad about it.

" Not at all, We're able to... Fufufu."

Sarah just laughed and Anna refused to answer any of my questions about why she was laughing. Time moved on. Asha and Sharon's parents had arrived, and they were busy spending time with them. Cynthia was being trained by Warrick during the period of time he would train us all. Sarah and Anna spent most of their time preparing for the wedding. From dresses and choosing what foods there were to be. There was a lot of work to be done. finally, we made it to the day. I dressed myself while thinking about how weird it felt to not have Anna with me in the morning. A lot can change in only a few months. I ate and went through my morning routine. After I got dressed, I heard a knock at the door.

" Come in!"

I allowed them access. The door opened and Trish walked into my room.

" Why are you here Trish?"

I blurted out the first thing that popped into my head. Trish looked at me with a bit of an annoyed expression.

" Someone has to prepare you for the wedding. I was asked to do it by Queen Aqua. So come along, I'll be bringing you to change into your suit."

" What suit? I never got fitted?"

" Anna gave us your measurements after the announcement. She's been dressing you for almost half a year, of course, she would know your measurements. I trained her to be an outstanding maid after all!"

" I see. It is true. Anna's been amazing to me these past months. Thanks for teaching her Trish. You helped build her confidence in a way."

Trish just looked away from me. Her ears are a little red. I think it's better not to draw attention to it. After a few seconds had passed, I decided to offer an out from the silence that began to envelop my room.

" Well then, Trish. Can you bring me to the dressing room?"

" Hm? Ah! Yes."

Trish brought me to a simple room in the eastern part of the Palace. I changed into a white uniform and walked out of the dressing room.

" Yes. It will work. Anna chose the color for you with input from Sarah. It seems white truly does suit a Paladin."

" Thanks for the compliment!"

" Yes, yes. Moving on, we will be heading to the Church now."

" Lead the way."

Trish brought me to a carriage, and it began to take off with both of us inside. The scenery had barely changed, but the mornings had begun to grow colder. While I was thinking about the weather change, Trish spoke to me.

" John, how have these last few weeks been for you?"

" Hm? You mean you didn't receive reports from Aqua or Warrick?"

" No, they tend to be secretive or vague about your movements. For instance, they mentioned about how you would visit hospitals, they were always careful not to name any locations just in case."
