Die, princess, the devil is mine!

After a series of minor events, since the investiture ceremony was not rehearsed or rehearsed, they were in a state of alternating between being busy and not busy.

However, after all the playing around, with such an important event approaching, everyone was a little worried about the little ones' preparations.

Although Yuri and Yuna are both very well-behaved and sensible, and usually make things easy for adults, being obedient does not mean they will not make careless mistakes. Moreover, the term "little ones" includes more than just these two little ones who can understand human speech.

Guji and Xiaohua are quite difficult to judge. Dogs are easier to judge, but cats are a bit too unruly. Even though Natasha can speak cat language and communicate with them without any problems, listening doesn't mean obeying. If she really causes trouble during the investiture ceremony, that would be hilarious.

As for Xue'er, it's much simpler. She's a battle pet, roughly equivalent to a warrior, and she truly obeys orders and follows commands.

When everyone went to find the little ones who had been frantically memorizing the procedures and had been taken away by the elders, they and the animals were all frowning and scratching their heads.

Even though I've memorized it perfectly, I still get caught and endlessly reminded. Although I know it's for the good of my parents and to prevent any accidents, hearing it so often still makes me feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Little Flower had already covered her head with her paws and lay on the ground, as if she had been brainwashed by the magical voices of the seventeen dragon girls who were fluent in cat language.

Meanwhile, Guji occasionally gave a disdainful smile. What a stupid little female cat. At this moment, she should just say that the cat treat is ready and that she can rest assured that she will do her job. Instead, she stupidly showed an impatient look. Isn't she just asking for trouble?

Lynn and the others originally came to check on the little ones' preparations, but upon seeing this scene of everyone scratching their heads, their concern for the work immediately turned into concern for the children.

The usually gentle Vivian led the way by kidnapping the children, and Catherine followed suit, even taking away her own unruly little kitten.

The conscientious and responsible staff and dragon boat workers were dumbfounded. You are the main characters of this grand event, how could you interfere with the preparations for your own ceremony?
Despite their doubts, they certainly didn't dare to question it. So, they quietly left under the guidance of a wise old man, leaving the workshop to Lord Lynn and his family.

"How about we simplify the process? The children can just come up and present a bouquet of flowers, and we don't need to arrange anything else."

Shea slowly walked over and sat down next to little Yuri and little Yuna, gently patted their round heads, and then turned to Lynn and said.

Actually, there wasn't much for the two of them to do, but since his fairy wife had spoken, what could Lynn say?

He can make decisions on major family matters and manage minor ones, but when it comes to this investiture ceremony, his wives' opinions are more important.

Because they only have this one chance in their lives, and they're only giving it to one person. But Lynn might not have this one chance either, and even if it is, it's with far more than one person...

What's more, before this investiture ceremony even began, he had secretly conducted a similar investiture ceremony in another world behind their backs, so he was actually a little guilty about it...

"It's okay, Mommy Shea. We did a good job. We didn't want our parents' good deed to be less than perfect."

When Shia's mother mentioned this, little Yuri and little Yuna exchanged a glance and shook their heads repeatedly. Especially little Yuri, when the Demon Realm was about to hold this ceremony, her Demon Queen aunts wanted her to watch them "get married" from heaven, but because she only felt that she was a child and did not identify with the identity of the Demon King that her Demon Queen aunts had envisioned, she refused.

I can't refuse. What kind of daughter would send her aunts off to marry her father with such loving eyes? Although little Yuli is still young and doesn't have a wide range of knowledge, she knows that this kind of thing might be a bit outrageous.

This investiture ceremony is different. In the world of miracles, they are simply daughters, without any other ties, so they can send their blessings to their parents in their own way.

Even if it means going through a little more hardship, I'm willing to do it.

"Yes, Yuna is very capable, she can do it!"

At this moment, little Yuna chimed in, saying that her current happy life was all thanks to her parents' love. They would treat her like a child laborer, let alone just help out for a while.

"Meow~~"

Guji also seized the opportunity to meow, and Lynn could already understand what it was saying. What this guy was saying was, "As long as there are enough snacks, you can have anything else except for not being able to become a catgirl."

Afterwards, Lynn's family stayed in the workshop for a long time, enjoying family time, until the time for the investiture ceremony gradually approached, and the host family had to arrive early before leaving in batches.

Lynn was the first to leave because he was the god in charge of the "conferment," and he had to appear first under the witness of the God of Light, waiting for the goddesses who were about to be "conferred" to appear one by one.

In fact, such a investiture ceremony has never been held in the world of miracles before. It is common for imperial emperors to invest concubines, and it is not surprising for some holy emperors to invest imperial concubines.

But in the mortal world, have you ever seen a goddess consort being appointed?
If we were to trace back to ancient times, perhaps the eight ancient gods existed when they were still among the human world, but there are no related records in history books. This may be because the level of civilization at that time was not high, or perhaps people did not pay much attention to such things.

In short, this should be the first grand ceremony in the history of the Divine World to confer the title of a Divine Consort. The key point is that the real God himself participated in it, which can be said to be of the highest level.

The chosen host is Akre Windsor, the former number one in the world of miracles, the head of the ten Holy Emperors, His Majesty the Holy Emperor of Light.

However, even with such a status, he seemed unqualified to be the host of the investiture ceremony, since the master of the ceremony was the true god.

But apart from Akre, no one else was qualified. Fortunately, Lord Lynn took away Siflin Windsor, that troublemaker... this cheerful beauty, in advance, so that Akre at least had the status of a true god's father-in-law, which made his role as host more believable.

At this moment, with Lynn appearing beneath the statue of the God of Light, the preparatory phase of the investiture ceremony began.

Unlike the Demon Realm, where the "bride" appears first and then the sacrifice is offered to the heavens, the rule in the Divine World is that the sacrifice is offered to the heavens first, and then the goddesses appear in turn.

Although this so-called rule was added temporarily and no divine consort had been appointed before, everyone agreed to it. After all, the God of Light was the heaven of the world of miracles. Even those who believed in other gods, such as Shia Sylvie who believed in the goddess of nature and life, Natasha Eve who believed in the dragon god, and the emperors or princesses of the empire who believed in their own ancestral gods, had no objections.

Soon after, Akre, as the first believer of the God of Light besides the God of Light Messenger, began to preside over the sacrificial ceremony. This was a task that only he could do, since the God of Light Messenger was the host today.

The sacrificial ceremony in the world of miracles was even longer than that in the demon realm. After all, their world placed greater emphasis on etiquette, so it wasn't surprising that there were more elaborate rituals. In short, the ceremony, which started precisely at noon, didn't end until exactly 2 p.m., as if it were timed perfectly.

Akre's speech wasn't slow; it was purely out of utmost respect for the God of Light. His parallel prose was so exquisite that even Popeye would be ashamed of himself. If the author of this had teamed up with the demons in the demon realm who also wrote parallel prose, Guan Yu wouldn't have needed days of torrential rain to flood the seven armies back then, or even to release the water. Just these two manuscripts would have been enough to keep the area flood-resistant for three years...

Lynn was also finding it hard to bear. It felt just like when he was in school and had to endure five classes in a row, but he could only endure it because this was not just a formality. In the world of miracles, there really are gods above, and the heavens that are being worshipped now might really hear these things.

After finally enduring the silence of Akre, they bowed to the statue of the God of Light and to the heavens. Except for the most devout believers, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"At this moment, we respectfully welcome all the divine consorts!"

After the sacrificial ceremony, the next segment began. As Akre's resounding voice, still booming after two hours of passionate recitation, faded, fifteen goddesses of unparalleled beauty took the stage one after another.

Lynn didn't give them an order of appearance because he really couldn't. Although that wasn't their harem ranking, as long as they walked out one by one today, everyone would think that was it.

In private, Lynn could learn to be more balanced, and in formal occasions he could also try to maintain a balance, but the significance of the investiture ceremony meant that the balance could not be maintained.

His wives in the Divine World are not like those in the Demon Realm. The Seven Demon Kings and the Seven Pleasure Witches are two groups of seven sisters. They have their own order from the beginning, and the older and younger sisters are clearly distinguished. He only needs to insert Ellie into the middle of the two groups. He doesn't need to rack his brains at all.

It wouldn't work in the world of miracles. Apart from Shea and Sylvie being sisters, the other wives are completely separate relationships, at most distant relatives or friends. How can they be ranked?

Although if forced to rank them, Lynn could make a unilateral decision, ignoring the pitiful looks from some of his wives, he wouldn't necessarily be unable to resist.

But his thoughtful wives didn't give him any trouble at all. They unanimously said beforehand that they would let themselves decide their roles and that they would just come out in the order they had decided on during the investiture ceremony.

Lynn was deeply moved. Whether it was someone he found himself, someone who came to him, or someone who gave them to him, they were all so sensible and considerate. With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?

If there were a luck stat in the real world, his luck stat might be higher than his fighting ability, probably second only to his looks.

However, the wives kept their order of appearance a secret, and even he was not informed in advance. If he didn't use his divine sense to scan them, he, as the host, wouldn't even know their order of appearance before the guests.

To show them full respect, Lynn didn't deliberately look at them and just let them come out on their own.

He also had some guesses about this, but whether it was accurate or not could only be known by actual comparison.

Then, the first... no, the first pair of divine consorts walked out of the former residence of the God of Light.

The two goddesses walked out side by side, without any particular order. Upon seeing them, Lynn did not react, but simply nodded to them. However, most of the guests present were secretly in an uproar.

Sylvie Belinda, the Elf Queen.

Princess Shia Belinda of the Elf Kingdom.

Given the stunning beauty of these two elven sisters, it's no wonder they were the most favored in Lord Lynn's harem.

However, if the two sisters were to be ranked as the first divine consorts at such a formal investiture ceremony, that would be quite remarkable.

Since Lord Lynn is human, while Shia and Sylvie are elves, it wouldn't be a problem if it were just a difference in race. After all, there are countless hybrids in the world of miracles.

But they are not only different in race, but most importantly, they are different in religion!

The Elven race worships the Goddess of Nature and Life, while Lord Lynn is the messenger of the God King of Light. Now that he has become a god, he should be a subordinate god or a follower god of the God King of Light. How could he secretly... no, openly collude with the Goddess of Nature and Life?

Although the Goddess of Nature and Life is considered a subordinate of the God King of Light, she is not a direct descendant; they are merely superiors and subordinates due to differences in rank.

If Lord Lynn's harem didn't include any direct descendants of the God of Light, then it would be fine to place his beloved concubine first.

The key point is that he has them... and more than one.

Regardless of public opinion, the Holy Maiden of Light, Siflin Windsor, is definitely a direct descendant of the God-King of Light.

Princess Claire Windsor of the Light Empire is a figure whose reputation is worth discussing. Moreover, she is a direct descendant of the Light Empire's royal family, a genuine descendant of divine blood, the kind of person whose innate divine strength cannot bend.

Even if we say that the two of them arrived late, and that they were to arrive a little later, there is still Catherine as a third option. Her mother also has the surname Windsor and is related to the Empire of Light. Isn't she early enough?
At the very least, you could choose Vivian from the Jones family. She was Lord Lynn's first rumored girlfriend, and... at least she's human...

To outsiders, no matter how Lord Lynn ranked them, the elven sisters Shia and Sylvie would at most be in the top five, and should never be ranked first.

But in my wife's opinion, Shia and Sylvie should be ranked first. No need for elaborate reasons or rigorous analysis; they win based on just one point—

They are both pregnant with Lynn's baby!
The saying "a mother's status rises with her son" holds true everywhere, and you can't argue with it, because every single one of them had been intimate with both Long and Lin En, yet none of them got pregnant.

To say that Lynn was biased and gave more to some, that would be one thing, but didn't she show no favoritism? Every goddess has had the experience of returning home with a full load of children...

In short, if you lose, it's because you didn't do your best; you can't blame the environment.
