Chapter 1250  The Centaur Race's Engagement Ceremony

At the same time, his hand, which held Evaline's, began to glow brightly, and he removed the mark of the One-winged Chains of Eternal Submission, freeing Evaline from her eternal servitude.

Evaline's energy became chaotic, and in an instant, the barrier surrounding the room collapsed. The door burst open, and a figure rushed in. Upon seeing the scene before her, the intruder froze.

"Eyyyee!" Karensa exclaimed, quickly covering her mouth with both hands to stifle her shock.

Karensa had been trying to eavesdrop on the meeting but immediately gave up after sensing her aunt had enveloped the room with Celestial energy to seal the sounds within and deter anyone from approaching, as though she had anticipated her actions.

However, she couldn't herself stop entering the room once she sensed the barrier had been dispelled. She had prepared herself for anything, including making excuses and apologizing for interrupting their meeting.

Yet, she had never anticipated the scene unfolding before her.

Her aunt was being intimate with not just anyone but a mysterious, high-ranking Paradise warrior. She had unknowingly stumbled upon a secret love affair. Even with her presence, they didn't stop; their actions grew even more intense.

Evaline's eyes widened slightly when she noticed Karensa entering the room, but she didn't break the kiss. Her tongue continued to entangle with Orion's as she felt the mark of the One-winged Chains of Eternal Submission being slowly removed from her back. Although it was somewhat painful, she endured it, knowing it was better than having the mark remain.

Orion paid no mind to Karensa. He had sensed her presence outside the door and didn't stop her from entering. He found it easier for her to learn about their relationship this way than to explain it from the beginning.

After a minute, they broke the kiss, a string of saliva still connecting their lips as they pulled apart.

Karensa couldn't help but gulp as she witnessed the intense scene before her. She had never seen her aunt in such a compromising situation, especially with a man. As she got a clearer look at Orion, her eyes widened, and she stepped back until her rear was pressed against the closed door. Her mouth hung open in shock as she stared at Orion. She rubbed her eyes several times to ensure she wasn't seeing things.

But nothing changed.

Karensa was unsure why the man her aunt had been making out with resembled the Supreme Leader of Paradise.

'It can't be him. It's someone else. Maybe a look-alike,' Karensa thought, coming up with an explanation. Though rare, two people could look the same.

'Still, it seems I underestimated her. To attract the attention of such a high-ranking figure, she does have some skills,' Karensa thought, sighing inwardly as she looked at Evaline and nodded approvingly.

Meanwhile, Evaline swiftly released her Celestial energy. Sensing that the quality and quantity remained the same, she pulled her robe down to her shoulders and quickly summoned a hand mirror from one of the cabinets. She placed it behind her and examined her now spotless back through the reflection, exhaling in relief.

Putting the hand mirror back on the table, Evaline stood on her four robust legs, bowed respectfully towards Orion, and said, "I will never forget your benevolence." Her tone was filled with gratitude.

Orion nodded, then turned to Karensa and said, "You're here." He displayed a bright smile. Karensa observed her aunt's strange behaviour but didn't dwell on it. The moment Orion addressed her, she cleared her throat and nodded. "I sensed something was wrong, so I rushed in to find out what was happening," Karensa said, her gaze shifting between Evaline and Orion. "However, it seems I was mistaken. I'm sorry for interrupting your meeting. To make up for it, I'll ensure you get a VIP table and a free meal for you and whoever you bring to the Midnight Butcher Bar."

Orion waved his right hand at her. "You don't have to worry about that. Since you're here, why don't you have a seat," he said.

Karensa nodded and looked toward her aunt for confirmation. She didn't want to interrupt whatever was going on.

Sensing her niece's gaze, Evaline nodded. "He's right; you should sit with us since you're here. There are some important matters I need to inform you about," she said.

Karensa nodded, walked up to the table, and sat down on the other end.

As Karensa took her seat, Evaline explained her relationship with Orion, revealing his true identity. However, she omitted the details about the One-winged Chains of Eternal Submission to avoid unnecessary drama.

In less than ten minutes, she finished her explanation.

Karensa's body shivered as she swallowed heavily, glancing at Orion from the corner of her eye before quickly refocusing on Evaline. "He's the Supreme Leader of Paradise, Orion?" she asked, seeking clarification.

Evaline responded with a nod.

"You two are planning on getting engaged today?" Karensa asked, gesturing with her hands.

Evaline nodded once more.

"So you're going to be part of the divine household of Paradise, and I'm going to be an in-law to divine beings?" Karensa asked, excitement creeping into her voice.

Evaline nodded again.

Karensa's expression morphed from fear into joy and excitement. She slammed her hand against the table. "Alright! I'll shut down the entire bar and immediately start preparations with the staff for the wedding. You two stay here and get ready for the ceremony," Karensa said, glancing between them. She didn't care that her aunt had kept such a secret from her and even found it understandable. She would've done the same if she were in her place.

"Is that okay with both of you?" she asked.

"Alright, we'll leave it to you to handle. Just make sure to keep it private. We don't want too many people finding out about this engagement ceremony too soon," Evaline replied with a nod. Orion had already given her the privilege to arrange the ceremony, and she trusted her niece, so she had no reason not to hand it over to Karensa as she prepared herself.

"Of course, I'll do my best to keep it as quiet as possible," Karensa said solemnly. She wasn't foolish enough to broadcast her aunt's engagement ceremony to the Supreme Leader and risk the entire dimension turning upside down on her tiny bar.

Karensa stood up and bowed respectfully to Orion and Evaline. Then, she swiftly raced out of the room, closing the door behind her.

A few seconds after Karensa left, a thunderous voice reverberated across the entire Midnight Butcher Bar: "Kick everyone out of the bar and give them their refunds! We're having a private family event soon!"

Inside Evaline's office, she gently rubbed her forehead, contemplating whether letting her niece handle such an important event had been a mistake.

"Why don't we prepare while they're getting everything ready?" Orion suggested.

Evaline nodded, focusing on Orion. "We'll need to change our attire first," she said.

....

By evening, the doors of the Midnight Butcher Bar were closed and barred, leaving customers confused as they were turned away. They wondered if anything had transpired as the bar was completely empty.

Rumours quickly spread about a special event taking place inside the Midnight Butcher Bar. With no one knowing exactly what it was, customers grew curious. Even competitors wanted to know more. Some decided to investigate but soon discovered that the entire bar was enveloped in an oppressive barrier, preventing anyone from approaching.

Even Paradise's Warriors could not get close, fueling the growing gossip.

....

On the third floor of the Midnight Butcher Bar, Orion stood beside Evaline. He wore a sleeveless tunic blending deep blue, red, and green. His trousers were made of golden-threaded silk, with an embroidered sash tied around his waist. A braided leather cord adorned his right leg. He stood barefoot, as shoes were not permitted for the engagement ceremony.

Evaline wore a similar ensemble, with a robe of matching colours on her upper body. Her lower body, including her four robust legs, was covered in golden-threaded silk drapes, trailing behind her like a carpet. Even her tail was hidden. A golden embroidered sash cinched her waist, and a braided leather cord adorned her right forehooves.

Surrounding them was Karensa, dressed in a full red robe, along with the staff of the Midnight Butcher Bar, including Dragmins and Aarakocra, all dressed in similar deep-red attire. On the other side stood four elderly figures—a male and female centaur and a male Dragmin and female centaur—who appeared to be couples.

Their gazes flickered between Orion and Evaline, with the women at the far end with wide-eyed, intense emotions they struggled to hide.

At the far end were Meave, Whisperwing, Willow, and Breezeflutter in their human-sized forms, as well as Celeste, Reena, Merida, Maya, Ingrid, and Celia. After being informed about the engagement ceremony, they rushed over immediately. They had already interogated the woman Orion was set to marry and found nothing wrong with her. Aside from her sharp intelligence rivalling even Derry's and Selene's, they found her rather ordinary.
