Miss Galina seemed to be in a good mood. She glanced at Rezia who was dressed as a bridesmaid. Although she didn't know what happened just now, she guessed what Rezia was doing when she saw the seats near Xia De.
"Good afternoon, little Rezia."
She maintained an elegant smile, and the bright red dress set off her beauty exceptionally today. And Leiziya, who is wearing a bridesmaid dress, also maintains the elegance of a royal lady:
"Good afternoon, Aunt Galina."
In the church hall where the wedding is about to take place, both of them restrained their emotions, and everything seemed to be in line with etiquette on the surface. Rezia quickly walked towards the door again, she should stay with today's bride now.
Miss Galina turned her head to watch Rezia leave, and then glanced around. Instead of looking for the other seats reserved for royal family members in the first three rows, she greeted Shade and sat on the other side of the aisle. On one side, Miss Sylvia's side.
In this way, two great witches from the [Witch Council] sat together.
Of course, Tifa didn't have a seat. After confirming that Miss Galina found a seat, she temporarily left the auditorium and waited outside. There is still some time before the wedding. In the slightly brisk tone of "Summer Green Grass", Xia De wanted to continue chatting with Dorothy, but he did not expect that Dorothy would actually talk to that Princess Margaret .
The princess of Kaserik also learned Delarion, so she knew the Tobesk woman writer who had recently risen to fame. They chatted happily, and Dorothy even drew Shad into the conversation.
Although Xia De had already come into contact with this princess in Huntington City, he still had to pretend to know her for the first time, and in accordance with social etiquette, praised the beauty of her outfit today. Princess Margaret first thanked Shad for yesterday's gift, then praised Shad and Dorothy, and even mentioned that the formal suit on Shad looked quite good.
She blinked suddenly, and said jokingly:
“I saw another gentleman from De La Rione at a farewell dinner in Huntington, wearing a dress of similar fabric and workmanship, which seemed to be the Tobesco fashion this winter.”
She probably didn't realize what this "coincidence" represented, but Xia De almost shed a cold sweat. The suit that was damaged by lightning when he attended the farewell banquet last Saturday, like today's suit, was custom-made by Rezia for him.
Fortunately, the topic quickly passed from here, and Dorothy cleverly talked about the topic of literature with this foreign lady.
In order to prevent himself from revealing any flaws, Xia De voluntarily withdrew from the conversation between the two ladies. But it's not a good idea to sit there in a daze, so he got up and walked to the other side of the aisle, taking advantage of the guests entering the venue one after another, and said to Miss Sylvia:
"Ma'am, are you Miss Emma Sylvia?"
"Sir, do you know me?"
Miss Sylvia asked hesitantly, with a cooperative expression on her face, while Miss Galina next to her smiled.
"Yes, I have read your paper. When you participated in the Yalta Mathematical Summit two years ago, you once left a photo."
Xia De said according to the planned words, this is the method prepared by the witches, so that Xia De can reasonably know Miss Sylvia:
"I have always admired your academic achievements, and I have been reading your papers. I didn't expect you to come to Tobesk with Her Royal Highness Margaret."
"This is Knight Hamilton of Regard."
Miss Galina introduced that Xia De reached out to shake hands with Miss Sylvia, but the latter hesitated and refused to reach out, so Miss Galina smoothed things over again:
"Knight, this Miss Sylvia from Carson Rik is Princess Margaret's math teacher. If you have any questions and want to ask them, you can wait until the evening banquet."
"Yes, I do have some questions I want to ask."
Xia De said softly, then bid farewell to the two ladies and returned to his seat.
"Mr. Hamilton, the teacher has always been honest with men, not because of you."
Princess Margaret, who saw the scene just now, explained softly, and Xia De nodded.
The scene just now was purely for the princess to watch. After the brief conversation just now, Xia De has reasons to continue to know Miss Sylvia, and Miss Galina has reasons to invite this lady to her manor, and Princess Margaret also dismissed the idea that Xia De suddenly had a relationship with Sylvia. Miss Via was suspected of having a connection.
All of this was Miss Sylvia's plan. It was originally intended to be used at the banquet at the Lake View Manor tonight, but the occasion is more suitable now. Xia De got up together just now, and the two witches immediately cooperated tacitly.
Not long after Xia De took his seat, the last batch of guests also arrived at the wedding scene. And the last group of guests were King Larousse and Queen Diana. Their arrival not only caused other guests to stand up, but even the Duke and Duchess of Asperger who were sitting in the first row on the right stood up to greet them—according to tradition, The right side of the first three rows are all the family members of the man, and the left side of the first three rows are all family members of the woman.
When passing by Xia De, the king and queen deliberately stopped to talk with Princess Margaret, and invited the princess to sit in the front row together, but the princess refused:
"This is a big day for the Cavendish family. As an outsider, how can I disturb you?"
She answered gracefully, and her words and address were quite decent, which made the people around her nod their heads.
Of course, His Majesty the King also saw Shad, but only nodded to him slightly. This did not prevent Xia De from seeing the approval in the eyes of the king who was slightly shorter than him. His Majesty the King was very happy that Xia De could faithfully complete his task.
After the queen and king were also seated, the voices of the guests were slightly lowered, because the wedding had entered the final stage of preparation.
At one forty-five in the afternoon, the old priest, wearing a white robe and a huge white dove holy emblem on his chest, came out from the corridor at the back of the auditorium, adjusted his hat and came to the podium, holding the Peace Church The holy book, the Code of Peace, was placed among the flowers.
The wedding of the princess of this country is qualified to have the bishop of the diocese as the officiant, but for some reason, in the end, only the oldest priest of the Church of Peace in the diocese was invited. This priest is three years older than Priest Augustus.
"It's always such an exciting time to be at a wedding."
At this time most of the conversation was over, Dorothy said softly to Shad, the blonde girl was affected by the atmosphere at the moment, she put her handbag on her lap, and looked at the pulpit in front of her with bright eyes and was doing the final work. Prep Fr:
"Xia De, your belief is Mr. Liming, right?"
Dorothy asked suddenly again, and Shad nodded. It was time for Minia's daily nap, and the cat was sleeping on Shad's lap now.
Goldilocks muttered:
"I believe in the Lady of Creation, and Rezia believes in the Peaceful Father..."
[Do you know what she is thinking? 】
The voice in the ear chuckled lightly.
"of course I know."
Xia De replied in his heart.
At one forty-eight in the afternoon, when the gray-haired old priest was officially ready, he coughed suddenly, and the band playing the third-to-last bar of "To My Love" suddenly changed its tune in the front corner of the church. , and then smoothly began to play "Wedding March".
The guests all turned to look at the door with smiles on their faces. Wait for a while, outside the double-opened doors of the auditorium, there were two boys in red coats, who looked only seven or eight years old, and small black leather shoes. Carrying a flower basket full of petals, she walked in shyly, and sprinkled red, pink and white petals on the red carpet at the door.
"It's started, it's started."
Dorothy said with some excitement.
After the two little flower girls scattered two or three flower petals, the groom Randolph Eisberg, wearing a red army uniform, brown leather boots, and a tall black bearskin hat, finally appeared at the door.
There was a smile on his face, but he could still see a little panic, and even his limbs were a little stiff, but he still pretended to be calm. The golden ribbons on the shoulders were pulled towards the chest, besides the corsage that was necessary for marriage, there were two small medals on the chest.
While everyone stood up, the groom officially stepped onto the red carpet accompanied by the chief best man in a black formal dress accompanied by the "Wedding March".
Two boys, presumably from the church choir, threw petals at the front, while Mr. Eisberg walked at a moderate pace, giving the people a chance to send their blessings.
Mr. Randolph Eisberg was wearing a hat, so Shad could not roughly estimate his height, but he was no taller than Shad. His skin is not very smooth, and the distance between his eyes is a little small, but overall, he is a very resolute gentleman.
Amid the music and applause, he took the chief best man and finally came to the front row at the end of the red carpet, then opened his arms and hugged Duchess Asperger who seemed to be crying, and then walked onto the high platform in front of him , standing on the left hand side of the old priest.
"It's really beautiful."
Shad heard Dorothy sigh softly.
The people standing up didn't pay much attention to them, because behind the groomsmen and bridesmaids, male ring boys each holding a ring box walked in shyly, followed by carrying a small basket, wearing white robes, dressed like Four little girls, like little angels, came in with flower baskets.
At this moment, all the gas lamps temporarily hung outside the windows were turned on, and the light passed through the magnificent stained glass of the church, shining colorful lights on the door of the auditorium.
With a dull explosion, petals and ribbons fluttered above the red carpet, and while the "Wedding March" was playing, two musicians in red coats at the door raised their golden horns at the same time and blew loud and clear.
In the sound of the trumpet, the bride in a white bridal gown, a silver-white crown on her head, a pearl necklace on her chest, diamond earrings on her ears, and a bouquet of white lilies of the valley in her hands, Mona Ka Wendish finally appeared.
The diadem even looked more gorgeous than Sister Divelin's blindfold, and the pearl necklace made her skin look so fair.
There was a happy smile on her face, and the layered white wedding dress made her the most beautiful lady at the moment. Mona Cavendish and Rezia are not similar in appearance, but their nose is similar to Agelina's, and their eyes are like the eldest prince Shade saw at the station yesterday.
That long red hair is a symbol of the Cavendish royal family. At this time, the long hair is braided into small braids, and then weaved together into complex patterns at the back of the head.
People clapped their hands, led by the main bridesmaid Rezia, and the bride smiled as she walked onto the red carpet. The rear skirt of the long exaggerated dress was supported by a total of eight little girls with blond hair who also wore white robes.
The pre-arranged steam pipes sprayed streams of fine steam mist on the red carpet from the small holes in the ground at this moment, and the soft light at noon came in from the stained glass windows at a higher place in the auditorium. In the halo of light, In the sound of "Wedding March" and in the eyes of envy and blessing, Mona Cavendish walked through the long red carpet, passed everyone who blessed her, and finally came to the seat The front row of chairs.
She hugged her mother, Queen Diana, and then looked at her father, Larouse III, the current king of the Kingdom of Delarion.
Unlike the queen who was wiping tears with a handkerchief, the king's expression was calm:
"Mona, remember to be happy."
He said softly, just a simple sentence, and the bride shed tears.
The king took the bride's hand and sent her to the high platform behind the pulpit, then turned and left. And Rezia stood behind the bride.
"Oh, this is really..."
Dorothy bit her lip slightly, her eyes were a little silly. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the cat in Xia De's arms "meowed~" softly. As if she was afraid of disturbing this sacred moment, Miya deliberately lowered her voice.
"Rezia?"
While people were seated, Xia De asked softly through the cover of the voice of the chair moving, "Dorothy" wiped her eyes, and ignored Xia De.
"God bless this couple, who have been approved and blessed by relatives and friends, to be united under the holy emblem!"
The old priest announced loudly, with Mona Cavendish holding a bouquet on his right and Randolph Eisberg in military uniform on his left.
Following the priest's announcement, the voice of the "Wedding March" gradually lowered, but did not completely disappear:
"In the name of our Lord, Father Peace, I wish you blessings. Bless your marriage, and may you become God's servants, and in the teachings and grace of peace, you will obtain eternal happiness in the mortal world."
The priest took a deep breath and looked at the people who were already seated:
"Excuse me, is there any objection to the marriage of the couple?"
Of course no one could speak at this moment, otherwise the other party would definitely not be able to walk out of the Peace Church alive.
But the old priest still waited for ten seconds, and then said loudly with a smile:
"No one opposes this marriage, may God bless all, the loving father will witness everything here and all the vows, praise the peaceful father! praise war and peace!"
The wedding tradition of De La Rion is quite complicated. The normal process requires the choir to appear at this time and sing the hymns of the Church of Peace, such as "The White Shepherd" or "Song of Peace", but the royal wedding process has always been simplified—in order to prevent accidents, Therefore, the children in the choir did not appear, but the priest read aloud the sentence from Chapter 5, Section 3 of the "Code of Peace", about the view of marriage in the Church of Peace, during which the band played "Song of Peace".
After all this was over, the priest carried out the most critical link. People held their breaths and stared at the bride and groom behind the pulpit:
"In the name of God, I ask you under the holy emblem—"
"Dorothy" took Xia De's hand quietly, and Mia climbed onto Xia De's shoulder curiously, staring at the priest across the crowd in front of her with wide eyes.
"Randolph Johnson Asperger, will you have this lady as your wife, even though she is old and youthful."
asked the priest.
The young Mr. Eisberg subconsciously looked at the king sitting below, and then said quickly:
"Yes, I am willing, may the loving father witness, I am willing."
He put his hand on the scripture held by the priest. The priest smiled, then turned his standing direction and asked:
"Mona Fran Cavendish, are you willing to be this gentleman's wife, regardless of poverty or wealth, life, old age, sickness and death?"
"Yes I do."
With tears in the corners of her eyes, she just smiled, and she reached out and pressed on the scripture.
Xia De seemed to hear that Queen Diana in the front row finally cried out, and his hand was firmly squeezed by "Dorothy". "Rezia" behind the bride smiled and looked at her younger sister, while among the bridesmaids behind the main bridesmaid, Adelina's expression was normal.
Curious about the expressions of the witches at this time, Xia De carefully turned his head slightly, looking at the other side of the aisle from the corner of his eye.
Miss Sylvia looked up at the bride and groom who were making vows in front of them, as if they were doing academic research. And Miss Galina happened to be looking at Xia De at this moment, and the red-haired witch gave him a completely unreasonable look.
"Huh? Did I do something wrong?"
Shad thought to himself, and then heard the priest announce aloud in the climax of the "Wedding March":
"My lord and father of peace, testify that this marriage is valid, you made a vow to each other, witnessed by the gods. Please exchange rings, may **** bless, your marriage begins, it is a new beginning, a new family, a new continuation !"
The ring boy presented the ring, and the priest stepped aside. Amid applause, Mona Asperger and Randolph Asperger looked at each other, and then put rings on each other.
The midday sun was just right, and the atmosphere in the church hall was strong. There was continuous applause, and everyone was smiling.
So, while the atmosphere was pushed to a climax, Mr. Asperger embraced his bride and then kissed her.
Afterwards, there was a process of the priest delivering a speech and presenting gifts to the church, as well as brief speeches by the parents of both parties, but Xia De couldn't care less about listening to these.
"Dorothy" suddenly turned her head and hugged his neck, and then kissed him. Of course, this was not a deep kiss, but a light touch. Not many people noticed this scene, not even Princess Margaret, who was concentrating on Dorothy's other side of the stage.
But Xia De can be sure that the two witches must have noticed. At least, Miss Galina definitely saw this scene. Xia De felt that the other party's eyes seemed to be "shooting" himself as if they had become real.
The priest's blessing still sounded in front of him. After "Dorothy" kissed Shade, she immediately turned her head and continued to look at the people on the stage, as if nothing had happened.
Xia De didn't dare to look in the direction of the witches at all~www.mtlnovel.com~ he could only lower his head and touch his lips, and then saw the cat lying on his lap twisting its neck and lifting it in an awkward posture. looked at him with big amber eyes:
"Meow!"
Xia De thought he understood Mia's words, so he stretched out his hand to scratch its little head. The cat squinted its eyes to show enjoyment, and then lay down peacefully, with its two fluffy white front paws resting on its little head.
"Marriage..."
Shad thought in the most passionate last stanza of the wedding march, and when he heard the people around him start clapping again, he clapped his hands too.
However, when he looked up at Randolph Asperger and Mona Asperger, who were holding hands and showing happy expressions, Shade still pursed his lower lip, thinking about the meaning of love and marriage.
"May God bless them."
He whispered, but his voice was drowned out by the applause around him.
