Finally, after weeks of preparation, it was officially the wedding day of Natalie and Renard. The wedding took place at the grand cathedral of Aeterna, and everyone was invited, including Ryo. The wedding ceremony went without a hitch, but the same could not be said about the wedding reception. Like I said before, everyone was invited, so all members of the knight's guild were there, which means Erik the weavile was also there. Unfortunately, Erik had two weaknesses; women, and alcohol (Like most men). And the combination of both spelled doom for Erik.
"My daughter is finally a grown woman!" said sir Nicolas.
"Yes, we are so proud of you Natalie dear!!" said lady Evelyne.
"Thank you mom, dad..." said the sixteen year old glaceon.
Renard was dressed in an elegant, black clothing. He had a good taste in clothes. His father, Fernando Alvaro the Flareon, eventually praised the jolteon.
"Well, I guess you are not a loser after all.. Well done, son!" said Renard's father.
"Thanks father..." said Renard.
"Yeah! You have proven your worth you runt! We all envy you so much!" said Renard's brothers, who were all Flareon.
"Yo, Renard, my buddy! Congratulations!" said Brendan.
"Yeah! You two are a perfect couple! Right, Ryo?" said William.
"Absolutely!" said Ryo.
"Now let's go outside. The wedding reception is about to start!" said Renard to his friends.
In the front yard of the cathedral, various delicious foods were ready to be eaten. They were prepared by the finest chefs of Arcadius. Ryo took the magikarp sashimi immediately while Erik was stealing some bottles of Altomare wine. Erik drank the wine directly from the bottle in large amount while Ryo watched with dread.
"Um...Erik....I think you are drinking too much wine. You better stop. It's dangerous..." said Ryo.
"Ah! Nonsense! There is no such thing as too much wine! Altomare wine is the finest wine in the whole pokemon world! It would be foolish to waste such an opportunity to taste this 'holy' beverage!" said Erik.
"Leave him be, Ryo..." said Alicia.
"Ugh, who is this vile creature anyway? Anyway did I just call a weavile a 'vile' creature? Lol!" said Ariana. She was making too many enemies with her puns and sarcasm that everybody did not appreciate.
"Did Natalie actually invite Ariana?" whispered Ryo to Alicia.
"Well, guild master Caesar was surely invited. Since Ariana is his daughter, she was invited by default...Just stay away from her and everything will be okay..." said Alicia.
"Okay Everybody are you ready to hear the finest music while enjoying a glorious feast?! Please welcome princess Meloetta the soprano!!!" said the wedding MC. Everybody was clapping.
Meloetta had recovered from the crimson fever and sang beautifully while being accompanied by an orchestra. The orchestra was conducted by maestro Luciano Argenta, the nephew of arch bishop Antonio. He was a Cinderace, just like his uncle. As soon Erik heard the beautiful voice, he was completely struck by love. Drunk, he threw away the wine bottle and climbed onto the stage.
"You look beautiful babe....Can I 'do' you?" asked the drunk weavile to the meloetta.
The surprised Meloetta blushed in confusion as the maestro became enraged by the Weavile's act.
"You shameless and vulgar Weavile! Get off the stage you specimen of sin!" said the cinderace.
"HEY! At least I can make music 10 times better than you! The orchestra that you are conducting is total RUBBISH! Give me a violin!" said the weavile.
Erik then started demonstrating his violin skill like a demon....
The cinderace became angrier than before and ordered the guards to capture the weavile. But Erik was too fast to catch. He might be drunk but he was at least as fast as Renard given his experience as a Dusk Tribe grand master. Renard, seeing that the Weavile might ruin his wedding, decided to take action and used his thunder wave to paralyze the Weavile.
"ARGH! Renard! I thought we were friends!!!" said Erik.
"You are not ruining my wedding, pal!" said Renard.
Meanwhile, princess meloetta, who previously watched Erik's display of violin skill was still mesmerized...she could not say a word.
"Princess Meloetta...are you okay?" asked the maestro.
"I...I'm aroused....we have to include that weavile in the orchestra! I beg you!!" said the meloetta.
"WHAT?! He was just doing that to get laid with you!" said the cinderace.
"Is that a problem?! NO!! He can 'do' me anytime he wants as long as I can hear him play the violin" said the meloetta. Upon hearing that statement, Erik then proceeded to kiss the Meloetta on the neck as she moaned in pleasure.
Professor Magnus, who was also invited, overheard the conversation between meloetta and mestro Luciano and saw the complete scene.
"Ugh... disgusting. This is why prophet Muhammad banned music..." said the professor.
"I'm sorry? What did you say?" asked Michelle.
"Oh nothing... never mind..." said Professor Magnus.
After Erik was safely chained elsewhere, the wedding reception continued. The performance by Meloetta was done, now it was dancing time. Everybody who wanted to dance must search for a partner. Alicia was about to ask Akira but suddenly Lola Lombardi barged in and took Akira by the hand.
"I've been waiting for this, honey!!" said Lola.
"No...Not you..." replied Akira coldly as he turned his back on the Lopunny. Lola burst in tears afterwards, leaving the handsome Lucario.
"Screw this I hate dancing anyway...." said Akira as he left the wedding early.
"Well....Alicia....Next time you have to be braver and quicker..." said Ryo.
"I know...Easier said than done..." said Alicia.
The wedding reception ended after the dance, then everybody went home. Ryo arrived home at dusk. He brought along some fresh magikarp sashimi from the wedding for dinner, but Akira was already asleep...
"Big brother...I brought some sashimi for dinner....helloooo..." said the Riolu.
"Uuugh...princess Diana...don't...die...." Akira was sleep talking.
Ouch. Alicia will bleed inside when she sees this... thought Ryo.
"Oh well, this means more sashimi for me, then! Haha!" said Ryo. He then ate all the sashimi and fell asleep on the couch.
***
It was raining mildly as the coffin was brought to the cemetery. Inside the coffin was the body of prince Alfred...cold and dead. Both of his parents attended the funeral march while weeping. Ryo was confused. He did not know why he was suddenly at a funeral of a boy that he feared the most. But there was something more frightening.... which was the fact that Ryo was responsible for the death of prince Alfred. The sight of the corpse terrified him....
