Elara’s POV
A collective intake of breath swept through the crowd. The cheers and celebration abruptly ceased, replaced by an ethereal voice that echoed across the heavens.
"Greetings, honored female. I am the Nexus World system. I have detected your wedding ceremony today, and I have prepared a gift for you..."
Another wave of stunned silence blanketed the square.
I watched everyone freeze, their faces painted with shock and disbelief.
That was the system!
In centuries of modern interstellar history, no one had witnessed the system personally delivering a wedding gift to a female.
Just who was I?
I could feel their burning curiosity.
Helena’s expression turned thunderous and dark.
Why? Why couldn’t this female be from the Sterling family?
Rosalind was equally shocked, but radiating joy. This was her sons’ mate! She felt proud and elated, even more thrilled than on her own coronation day.
Following the announcent, a luminous, glowing box descended from the sky and settled directly in front of .
I extended my hand, but the mont my fingertips made contact, the box vanished into my storage.
I blinked in confusion. "Huh?"
The system continued, "Ms. Elara Sterling, congratulations on your wedding. Please accept a fireworks display in your honor..."
The instant my na was spoken, the square exploded into pandemonium.
"What?! She’s Elara?!"
"Impossible! Wasn’t Elara so powerless nobody? Why would the system acknowledge her?"
"Exactly! Even S-class females in the Valerion Empire have never received a system blessing. She’s a nobody! What makes her so special?"
"And how did she transform so drastically? I didn’t even recognize her! She looks nothing like that worthless girl anymore!"
I was speechless. Seriously? Do you have to trash-talk that loudly?
Before my husbands could respond, I spoke first, "Obviously because I’m gorgeous! Right, system?"
Oops, got carried away. Why would the system even answer?
The system replied instantly, "Affirmative."
The entire crowd was left completely speechless.
Why does it sound so indulgent? Did soone hack the Nexus World?
Rosalind was practically celebrating internally.
But up on the elevated platform, Helena’s heart plumted. The mont the system said "Elara," all color drained from her face.
That’s really Elara?!
"I expelled her from the family! This could’ve been anyone... why did it have to be her?!"
Helena stumbled, nearly collapsing several tis. Beatrix caught her and provided support. Helena stared at desperately.
Is it... is it too late to undo this?
Beatrix wasn’t handling it any better. I had always been soone she could easily manipulate. Not only was I alive, but I was having this lavish wedding. And those beastn husbands... any one of them was soone the Greeley family could never afford to offend.
And that "worthless" had seven of them.
The gift processions extended endlessly, sparkling with treasures. A fleet escorted , a dragon guarded the rear, and even the system itself sent blessings!
Does soone like really deserve all this?
Beatrix’s nails pierced her palms, her eyes brimming with hatred, envy, and resentnt.
Down below, the mont the system’s fireworks comnced, Silas, Finnian, Alistair, and the others stepped out of the carriage.
Kaelen transford in a flash of light. The young man stood tall and refined in a perfectly fitted black tailcoat. He was devastatingly handso, aristocratic, and incomparable.
Under the watchful eyes of the other five, Kaelen walked confidently over and joined the line. His elegance was captivating. Beneath his chestnut hair was a face like sculpted marble, and those jade-green eyes made it impossible for anyone to look away.
Unlike Silas and the others, Kaelen’s beauty possessed a fierce, untad quality—so brilliant it was almost painful to observe directly.
I glanced over and nearly malfunctioned.
Holy hell!
Bet you’re regretting it now? Didn’t see this coming, did you? The dragon’s elite tier.
Regret what? He’s still mine. He’s elite tier, and I’m no pushover either. I’m stunning enough for him.
Ahem, stay composed.
"My lady," Kaelen said with a deliberate, playful smirk. "Satisfied?"
He’d been restraining himself all this ti, waiting for this precise mont.
I was ready to completely lose it. He wasn’t just breathtaking—his voice was incredible too.
You’d better stay quiet, young man. Save that voice for tonight...
Composed? Not a chance. I want to make him surrender right now. I want to hear him whimper.
On the other side, Dorian could barely contain himself. He gasped with excitent and rushed toward . Still barely an adult, he approached in his royal robes, bashful and endearing.
"Elara," he said in a gentle, lodic voice.
