In the household of Starr, the pce was decorated with festivities to welcome home the bride. With flowers blossoming in all areas of the mansion and music being echoed throughout the pce, the Starr family was putting the final touches on their bride.
“I can’t believe you can look so good!”
Lynn’s voice filled with cynicism was heard as she took pictures of the very annoyed bride who kept tugging at her scarlet tie, her hands were deftly smacked away by Grey, who was doing the finishing touches on her bridal makeup.
“You know, you would look so much better with, well, fewer hoodies.”
Vin said as tears were already glistening in his eyes at the thought of his baby getting married, while Yin consoled him.
Moon, on the other hand, was putting the finishing touches on the marriage cuffs. He had decided to go with a bloody theme to match the scarlet wedding about to happen and was very pleased with his work as he went to show Lynn. By this time Grey was finally done with the makeup, and Arya was set.
With a light push, Arya was moved so that she could face the cousins that filled the room, and everyone finally got to see her, all dolled up!
Arya was dressed in a flowing scarlet dress suit that spread out two meters on the ground. There were tears littered in the lower area of the dress that showed bck areas and silver frills dangling on them, and as for the upper part of the dress, it was designed into a fitted sleeveless vest that was held up by the tie. Her hair was braided at the left side, and the rest simply fell and framed her face nicely with the bridal makeup, making her look soft, and her fit was completed with 2-inch bck heels.
“You are gorgeous.”
The guys nodded at Lynn’s words as they quickly ushered Arya out and moved toward the bride’s house to snatch their daughter.
Compared to the Starr household which held only the Starr children, the Charming household was the venue for the wedding, so it was packed. Despite the invite being only for close retionships, the area was filled as everyone settled inside and waited patiently for the bride to come.
The bride’s father could be seen conversing with other business partners. Alice was escorted by Chanel, and Aqua’s mom was checking to make sure refreshments were readily avaible. At the entrance of the mansion, ignoring what the vast yard had been turned into and the numerous amounts of cameras in them were Aqua’s cousins named Alex, Joe, and Xander, all dressed in red suits as they awaited their challenger.
It wasn’t long before the wedding challenge was heard, and with the ample preparations made for the wedding, the holographic screen activated and showed the approaching convoy of the Starr family. The test versions of the Top Land sports cars were racing through the streets with Magnum speakers attached to them, and with a show of force, all twenty-four cars arrogantly drove around the Charming household before uniformly parking at the entrance, with the only red-colored car stopping right at the gate.
The door of the car swiftly opened as the bride stepped out cockily and stood right in front of them, and the words flowed out of the bride’s lips arrogantly.
“Here to take your daughter, Charming. You can’t stop me!”
The decration of war had been spoken. The wedding had officially begun!
Arya looked at the three with perfect confidence as her cousins gathered around, and it became a standoff of twenty-four vs. three.
“Starrs. Always so f-arrogant. Well, my dear cousin had hoped we’d go easy on you today, but it seems like it’s not needed, so without any dey. Arya Alice Starr… Do you dare to complete twelve trials for Aqua’s hand, Golden!”
Everyone was shocked. The guests already inside were discussing the madness that was about to happen.
“Golden? It seems the Charming boys don’t py with their girls.”
“It’s less about py, ok? It’s Aqua we’re talking about. If there was a higher level than Golden, I’d honestly not be surprised if they used it.”
“But can this Starr child complete twelve golden trials? Do you guys know of her feats?”
“Don’t bother asking. She was hidden so tightly. I didn’t even know these brats were 24 ha-ha!”
“Well then, it seems we can only watch and see if they can successfully snatch the bride.”
On the highest floor of the mansion, in the room that held the bride, who was accompanied by her sister and female cousins, as they watched her bride arrive, Blossom couldn’t help but say.
“These boys! Can’t they be more sensible? How long will we be trapped here?”
Her sister Plum ughed softly as she said what she heard the boys discussing.
“Well, two hours at most. That’s how long they pn to give Arya.”
“So. They chose the maximum amount of trial possible along with the hardest level and pnned to give her two hours. Are they not aware that this wedding has to go through?!”
Liliana was annoyed by this point and regretted a bit for giving full control of the trials to the guys.
“Well, they know. They just don’t care.”
Blossom started as she moved to the enchanting bride, who was resting on the bed with a thick flowing veil on her face as she smiled.
“Either way, whoever wants Aqua’s hand in marriage has to work for it, right Aqua?”
The bride, whose gaze hadn’t moved from her bride since she appeared, gnced at her cousin for a second before nodding and resumed watching as the room fell silent, waiting for Arya’s reply.
“Oh… How long?”
“Two hours. Do. You. Dare.”
Arya burst out ughing as she rested on Lynn to get her bearings before she looked at the three men across her with a teasing smile.
“Oh, I dare. Bring it on, Charming.”
And with that, the trials commenced, with everyone watching with amusement, curiosity, worry, and annoyance at the first ever twelve golden wedding trials since the creation of Aria…
