Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Well... I have to thank Mr. Joyce and Miss Bronya for their help."

Rita tapped her lips with her index finger, offering an explanation—

“Mr. Joyce and Miss Bronya happened to be passing by when we were cleaning the church. After I explained things to them, Mr. Joyce said that although he had some unpleasant experiences with Lord Otto, they were still friends to some extent, so he came to help.”

"Miss Bronya is the same... Anyway, Lord Otto, you probably didn't get chased and beaten up by everyone for nothing last night, did you?"

Rita tilted her head, somewhat uncertainly drawing a conclusion...

"Hmm...you guys seem to have this 'we're all friends after a beating' mentality, huh...?"

Upon hearing this, the blond man's lips twitched involuntarily.

"No, rationally speaking, beating up the person involved is indeed the fastest way to vent your anger."

Snow denied his father's conjecture and pointed out the objective fact that his father simply deserved a beating.

"It's a sad reality, Snow."

"I think this is something you brought upon yourself, Dad—"

The girl immediately rolled her eyes.

"Hmm... So, my daughter, what are you planning to do with that cathedral? In a sense, the Cathedral of Destiny... its aesthetic value far outweighs its religious significance?"

“…”

Snow gave Mr. Otto Apocalypse a look that seemed to say, "Dad, did you really get your brain damaged?" which made the latter twitch his lips awkwardly and give him a puzzled look.

"What's wrong, Snow? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Ah...it turns out that even the smartest man becomes incredibly oblivious when it comes to love."

Seeing Otto's somewhat bewildered expression, Snow nodded, as if confirming something.

"First question, Dad, what is your legal relationship with Karen Mom right now?"

"Uh... fiancé and fiancée?"

"So in Europe, according to our tradition, what else can churches do besides daily prayers?"

"Baptism, engagement, funeral... Okay, I know what Snow is trying to say..."

"Although the engagement was arranged privately by your maternal and paternal grandfathers... the engagement ceremony was indeed held in that old Destiny Cathedral—"

"According to tradition, it is indeed appropriate to have the wedding in a church..."

Reminded, Mr. Otto finally remembered what he had forgotten...

"So—one last thing, Dad and Mom, where are your engagement rings?"

"I turned Destiny's office and your private storage room upside down, but I still couldn't find that thing..."

"And we've never seen you wear a ring before, Dad... Where did you put it? Don't tell us you're going to make one right away...?"

"Well....."

Otto and Kallen both gave an awkward look when the ring was mentioned....

"...?"

"You two...you didn't really lose the ring, did you?"

"Hahaha... I used to see that ring with very precious gemstones set in it, and it was even made of sterling silver..."

"And then, Mom, you just picked it and casually gave it away to help alleviate poverty?"

Snow, who could tell at a glance what had happened to Miss Karen's engagement ring, wore a helpless expression...

"And what about yours, Mr. Otto?"

All eyes turned to Otto, filled with deep doubt: Could someone who's a devoted fan really lose the ring of their crush?

"My ring..."

Otto looked at his daughter—

"Snow, do you remember the coming-of-age gift I gave you?"

"Dad, you mean that formal suit of armor? I remember, what's wrong?"

“I incorporated the ring into that armor; you should be able to see a small emerald cross on the collar of the garment…that’s my ring.”

"I originally thought I'd never need it... so I left it to you as a skill..."

"Ah... Anyway, we need a new ring now... Hmm, I've got it!"

Miss Snow, seemingly thinking of some wealthy woman, slapped her thigh and dialed a phone number—

"Ellie—please get Miss Eden drunk...and then smuggle two gems over for me."

"Oh, ready-made rings will do too—but they have to be a pair, okay?"

*Meow—Good evening, I need your votes!

Miss Snow Apocalypse, who had just performed a demonstration of how she had gotten a rich woman's treasure for free in front of everyone, looked at the astonished crowd without changing her expression.

"My dear daughter, let me ask you this: ...this doesn't count as telecom fraud, does it?"

Among them, the expression of the girl's father, Lord Otto Apocalypse, was the most extreme. The blond man looked as if there was something wrong with his upbringing—why has my grown child learned to cheat and deceive his father?

"Huh? This is at most a freebie—and that rich woman named Eden still owes me a huge favor."

Compared to Lord Otto, who was overwhelmed with emotions, Miss Snow seemed completely unconcerned, waving her hand to indicate that these were all trivial matters.

"Ah, this—"

"Anyway, Dad, you and Mom can go pick out a dress—your dear daughter has met a whole bunch of talented and extraordinary people who owe her favors—"

"How about having Miss Eden prepare your wedding dress and suit as well?"

Looking at his parents, who were dawdling in front of him, Snow tilted his head and proposed a motion...

"Ahem, Snow—may I ask first, what exactly is this Miss Eden's identity? It seems you have an unusual level of trust in her in some ways?"

Karen interrupted the blonde girl's rambling and raised a question that had been bothering her—what does this Lady Eden do for a living?

“Oh, this lady is my friend, a fusion warrior from the previous era, a great artist and singer—and also a very wealthy woman.”

"Her wealth in the previous era was unparalleled, so much so that Yingjie himself referred to himself as 'Gold.'"

"Whether it's gemstones or fashion sense, Miss Eden is a professional—want to try her on?"

After introducing Lady Eden, the girl turned her attention back to her parents, seeking their opinions.

"...As for the ring, I'll leave it to Lady Eden. I can't find any good gemstones here right now—"

"However, when it comes to formal attire and first-class dress, I am not inferior to the venerable ladies of the previous civilization."

Otto, his competitive spirit ignited, decides to take on the important task of handling Miss Karen's wedding dress himself...

Ah, well then, Dad, good luck!

Miss Snow, reflecting on Mr. Otto's clothing designs and sense of style, gave the man a pep talk...

"Anyway, the church will need some time to prepare, and they also have a whole bunch of invitations to send out... so we're not in a rush right now—"

"Why don't we go see if there are any old clothes or other items in the castle that evoke memories? Maybe we can alter them and use them as wedding dresses or something."

Seeing the group of people looking lost and unsure of what to do next, the blonde girl offered a suggestion...

"Searching through old items that hold sentimental value...it might actually be an interesting experience, right?"

Mr. Otto, now retired, readily agreed to Miss Snow's proposal; however, the group seemed to have forgotten something very important...

Five hundred years ago, the esteemed former Bishop of Destiny, Mr. Otto Apocalypse, wore women's clothing and was honored with the title Lady Green Lily...

"..."

Theresa and Rita fell silent, staring at a certain piece of furniture in Otto's old bedroom... Just moments before, the group had split into several teams for an interesting self-disciplined archaeological excavation within the castles of the three Schicksal starter families, and Theresa, at Rita's request, was assigned to one of them...

Why is there a woman's dress in Grandpa's closet?

Theresa held up the dress, which was taller than her, and began to think about who the dress belonged to...

"Grandma Karen's? It doesn't seem like it—Grandma Karen wasn't that tall, was she?"

"Wait, this dress is almost two meters tall... Even the tallest girls, Jiuxiao and Mei, are only 172cm, right? Are there any girls this tall in Destiny?"

Looking at the obviously abnormal dress, Theresa scratched her head in distress, attracting the attention of Rita who was standing next to her.

"Lady Theresa...you seem troubled? Is something wrong?"

"Ah—Rita, you've come at the right time, look at this dress..."

Theresa pointed to the green evening gown spread out on the bed.

"Hmm... Lady Theresa, did you find something strange about this dress?"

Rita followed Theresa's gaze and saw that the dress on the bed seemed perfectly normal, except for being a little long...

"This dress is at least 2 meters long, Rita, which means the woman who owns this dress must be at least 1.9 meters tall... Are there any Valkyries or high-ranking figures that tall in the history of Destiny?"

Theresa looked at Miss Rita, who seemed to know a little about everything, with a look of doubt in her eyes—

"Well...may I ask, Lady Theresa, where did you find this dress?"

Rita looked at the entire dress in front of her and suddenly had a bold idea...

"Hmm... it's this wardrobe from Grandpa's old room—Rita, do you have any clues?"

"...Lady Theresa, as far as I know...Lord Otto's wardrobe only contained his own clothes, and no one else would deposit clothes with Lord Otto when he was a bishop."

"You mean, this is someone from Grandpa's family? But Grandma Karen isn't this tall. If it's Snow... she's even shorter than Grandma Karen..."

Theresa, who was analyzing the situation, suddenly froze, turned her head to look at Rita, and they seemed to be confirming a bold guess—

"Rita, you mean...."

"Grandpa wore these clothes himself? Grandpa Otto has this kind of hobby???"
