On this particular day, the Vanyar City was flooded by visitors, causing the already bustling streets to become even more so. 

There were three groups of people that came to the city today. All of them looked similar to the elves that lived in Vanyar City, but each of them had a slightly different attire.

These people were the representative of the three other Wood Elves kingdoms who also resided in the Evergreen Forest.

Each entourage had about a dozen people, which made the total of three groups to be less than fifty. However, although fifty people might not seem to be a big number, as Vanyar City was not often graced by visitors, these people managed to make the normally peaceful environment become rowdy.

Every elves that lived in the city knew that those people came to witness the wedding that would be held tomorrow.

Tristan, in particular, had no apparent interest in the wedding itself as it was only for his own convenience. But as much as he tried to be casual about this, the wedding he would be in was still going to be a royal wedding. 

Therefore, since early this morning, Elder Anmar had been briefing Tristan about what he should and shouldn\'t do during the entire ceremony. He was fed by countless information while his body was prepared for the event.

At the moment, there was a group of elven crafters who prepared his wedding grooming of sorts. From clothing, hairdressing to even skin treatment; these people quickly and precisely took care of Tristan\'s body in order to make his appearance before the wedding as grand as possible.

While he was experiencing all of this, Tristan couldn\'t help but think that the elven tradition was quite rich to be followed. 

In the afternoon, when Tristan had finished and went through all these annoying activities, he realized that there was another group of visitors that could somehow instantly make a ruckus within the Vanyar elves. 

Before he could check what was going on, Tristan realized the communication stone that he always kept on him was glowing. Hence, he quickly took it out and checked what message his sister sent over to him.

[Brother, do you miss me? I hope you do.]

Tristan found the strange message worrying, thus he quickly replied.

[What happened? Is there something wrong?]

A concerned look was apparent on his face as Tristan waited for the reply. Luckily, he didn\'t have to wait long as the stone once again glowed several seconds later.

[I have a very big surprise for you, Tris!]

The message caused Tristan to pause for a moment. He smelled something was up but wasn\'t sure what it was exactly. Tristan replied 

[What is it? Tell me.]

Tristan sent a message and waited for a reply. However, there was no further answer even though tens of seconds had passed. While he was worried about her unresponsiveness, Tristan\'s gaze coincidentally turned to the outside and saw something that startled him.

The next group of visitors that came, the one who caused commotion between the elves, was actually humans. In fact, from the white attires that those people wore and the figure who led them at the front, Tristan realized that the Arcadian King himself had come to the Vanyar Kingdom.

\'King Callan?!\'

Tristan wondered as to why the king of a kingdom made it here personally. 

Shortly after, Tristan was brought out of his contemplation by a knocking sound on the door. He was being summoned to join the assembly with the Elf Queen.

As he walked through the hallways heading towards the assembly room, Tristan suddenly realized a familiar figure approaching him at great speed.

A girl with dark brown hair and deep blue eyes.

The moment their eyes met, the girl quickly hopped toward him with her hands wide open. The girl was Layla, his sister.

"There you are, Tris! Surprise!!" exclaimed Layla with a massive smile seen on her face.

"Layla! Why… how..?!

"Hahaha! I am so happy to see your shocked face! This is priceless.."

"What are you doing here, Layla? Has the king decided to let you go?"

"Huh! I don\'t really know. I was suddenly summoned by the king and was told that I would go to meet you. Of course, I would not say no to it!"

Honestly, Tristan was really happy that he finally could see his sister. But then he realized something from Layla\'s words.

"So, you don\'t know what you and the king came here for?" Tristan asked with a smile, which turned into a mischievous smile when he saw Layla shaking her head.

At that same moment, a girl with long blonde hair was seen near where they were, causing Tristan\'s eyes to light up. Tristan waved his hand and spoke in a voice he thought was loud enough for her to hear.

"Serene, come! Let me introduce you to my sister!"

Serene turned her head and saw Tristan waving his hand at her. At first, she wanted to ignore him, but the latter part of his words made her stop. In the end, Serene approached the two with a smile on her face.

"This is my sister, Layla." said Tristan with a smile, while Layla was looking at Serene with a surprised expression. 

Obvious to the prominent impression that she unknowingly received, Serene gave Layla a formal elven handshake, which certainly baffled the young girl, as a greeting of respect.

Seeing that, Tristan said to Layla, "And sis, let me introduce you too. This is Serene, the Princess of Vanyar Kingdom, and the girl that I will be marrying tomorrow."

Layla was mesmerized by Serene\'s beauty as she nodded. But then, her smile froze when she heard the latter part of Tristan\'s words. She stiffly turned her head around, only to see a mischievous smirk on Tristan\'s face. 

Tristan brought his head to Layla\'s ear and whispered, "Your shocked face… is priceless."
