Although the Thunder God Fortress in the north of the empire was still in a state of war, the young Fernando XIII still insisted on preparing for his wedding to Catherine. After recovering from health, Catherine did not speak out against the wedding, but hid with a blushing face. , which made Fernando XIII laugh. Of course, in order to protect Catherine's safety, Fernando XIII sent 20 female holy knights headed by Christina to protect her personally. At this moment, Orlando led an expedition to the Thor Fortress. , all the military power of the empire fell into the hands of Fernando XIII, and it was naturally easy to mobilize manpower.
Imperial Minister of State Chad has always been obedient to Fernando XIII, and of course he will not have any contrary advice to him on this matter. However, Imperial Finance Minister Luke stayed behind closed doors after being dismissed, and seemed to have disappeared from the imperial capital overnight. As if the imperial capital's top military officer Orlando was on an expedition to the Thunder God Fortress, Archbishop Ibel became very weak after using the "Great Prophecy", a quasi-forbidden spell level magic. Even the daily affairs of the Saint Nebiro Cathedral were disrupted. handed it over to his deputy,
Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to object to the wedding of Fernando XIII and Catherine Randy, and it will naturally be held as scheduled. Although the empire's tax revenue last year was quite poor, Fernando XIII paid for this wedding from the royal family's inner treasury. A large amount of gold coins were allocated from the empire. At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, the Fernando royal family controlled a large number of industries. All the profits from these industries were included in the royal family's treasury. This is why the empire's annual tax revenue is not very large but it can still be maintained. The reason for the operation of a huge empire,
An official who managed the inner treasury once revealed the news after being drunk. The annual income of the royal inner treasury is no less than the overall tax revenue of the empire, which is responsible for the finance minister. The annual expenses of the Royal Knights are all funded by the royal inner treasury. , in a sense, the Royal Knights should actually be regarded as the private soldiers of the Fernando royal family. Of course, no one saw the official again the next day, so no one dared to talk about it everywhere.
For the nobles of the imperial capital, Fernando XIII's marriage to Catherine was a frustrating event, because the young woman in the family lost the chance to rise to the top. At the same time, because of the scene that appeared at the coronation ceremony of Fernando XIII, everyone was I hope this wedding can go smoothly and don't dig out a bunch of bones again.
In this contradictory mentality, the wedding of Fernando XIII to marry the Queen finally arrived.
According to the divination of the royal astrologer, the weather on the wedding day was quite good. The sun showed its smiling face steadily on the horizon early in the morning. There was almost no white cloud in the entire sky. It was completely blue and blue, as if it were boundless. the boundless sea,
When the sun rose to the top of the royal viewing platform, the long welcoming procession slowly left the palace. According to the royal rules, Catherine stayed at the Royal Academy of Magic last night. The beautifully dressed car in the welcoming procession The carriage was prepared for Catherine, who was about to become queen.
In the room where Catherine lived, more than 20 maids were busy. They had to dress Catherine up before the wedding carriage arrived. Catherine's face was full of indifference. She spoke in an unknown way. He seemed to be watching the busy people silently as a bystander, without even looking at himself.
Hundreds of years ago, Catherine escaped from a palace in such an environment. Unexpectedly, today, she would experience such an occasion again. Last time, she was lucky enough to escape from the palace and meet her teacher, but this time Once, Catherine had to force herself to endure it, even though a small ball of flame had gathered in her right hand under her clothes, a small ball of flame that could destroy the entire room.
"Ah, Her Majesty the Queen is so beautiful today." A maid praised Catherine from the bottom of her heart while fastening her buttons. She didn't know that the person she was praising had actually been resisting the urge to destroy everything in front of her. , but after Catherine heard these words, she withdrew the magic that had been condensed in the palm of her hand. In any case, this was part of her teacher's plan, a perfect plan that could not be missed.
The female knight Christina strode in. She ducked sideways to avoid a hurried maid who almost bumped into her. She loudly said to Catherine who was sitting there: "Catherine, the carriage is here and it's almost time. Please Get ready to go.”
Catherine nodded slightly towards Christina. At this time, a maid was combing her hair, so Catherine could only move slightly. Soon, the maids finished everything, except for the leader of the maids who stayed behind. They all withdrew,
Catherine stood up and saw her dress today in the mirror in front of her. Even Christina, a holy knight, couldn't help but admire and said: "Catherine, you are the most beautiful bride in the empire. Your Majesty can marry you. It’s such a blessing.”
Catherine was silent. After a moment, she raised her right arm with white gloves and whispered, "Are you happy?"
Christina didn't hear what Catherine said clearly, so she asked: "What did you say."
Catherine didn't answer, pointed at the door, and said in a pun: "Let's go, time is running out."
When the carriage pulled by 12 horses as white as snow arrived at the central square, the royal band played cheerful music loudly. Behind the carriage, there were 200 holy men wearing golden armor. The knights, the leader is naturally Christina. Every holy knight holds up the war gun in his hand, but this kind of war gun is different from the ones used in combat. Their tops are not sharp spear heads, but colorful ones. Colorful ribbons, these ribbons are floating in the air, they are indescribably beautiful.
The carriage slowly stopped under the royal auditorium. Two smart flower girls in exquisite costumes ran to the carriage quickly and opened the door of the carriage. Catherine bent down and walked out of the carriage, her pair of crystal-clad The high-heeled feet stepped on the thick red carpet on the ground,
A royal emcee quickly stepped forward and whispered to Catherine: "Please follow me, Your Majesty the Queen." Catherine followed the emcee expressionlessly, and behind Catherine were eight pairs of flowers. Tong held up the long back hem of the wedding dress with his hands and followed closely.
Fernando XIII stood at the top of the high royal auditorium and had already seen Catherine's arrival. Today Fernando XIII was wearing a standard black tuxedo, but the Eternal Morning Light in his hand was The removal of the staff is enough to prove the unique identity of the groom, the supreme ruler of the empire,
When Catherine walked step by step up the stairs to the royal viewing platform, Fernando XIII even couldn't wait to greet her, and roughly took Catherine's left hand, despite the constant reminders from the official in charge of etiquette next to her. Fernando XIII paid attention to the emperor's manners, but the young king didn't care at all. He had already made an exception and married a commoner woman as his wife. Would he still care about those complicated etiquette
Fernando XIII took Catherine's hand and came to the statue of the God of Light. A bishop wearing a red bishop's robe and a shawl embroidered with tulips was already waiting there. Because Archbishop Ibel's body was He was so weak that his assistant, Cardinal Henry, had to perform the entire wedding ceremony.
Henry watched Fernando XIII and Catherine come to him. He held the book "Praise of Light" in one hand, drew a magic circle in the air with the other hand, and cast a small "Blessing of Light" magic. Following Henry's action, the Royal Orchestra stopped playing, and soon the hundreds of thousands of spectators below the Royal Auditorium also held their breath, and the entire central square suddenly became quiet.
Henry followed the procedure of the wedding ceremony and first asked Fernando XIII: "Honorable Crewe, Mr. Fernando, are you willing to swear in front of the God of Light that you will accept Catherine, Ms. Landy, as your wife?"
Fernando XIII said without hesitation: "I do."
Then Henry asked Catherine again: "Dear Catherine, Ms. Landi, are you willing to swear in front of the God of Light that you will become the wife of Mr. Fernando, Crewe?"
Catherine did not answer immediately, but fell into silence, but this silence only lasted a few seconds, and was quickly broken by her own words: "I do."
"Then exchange rings now."
After hearing Bishop Henry's words, several officials nearby hurriedly took out two exquisite wooden boxes from their arms and gently handed them to Fernando XIII and Catherine. Fernando XIII forcefully took one of them Caught in the palm of her hand, Catherine reluctantly held it after the official thrust it into her hand several times.
Fernando XIII was completely excited. He opened the wooden box and took out an extremely beautifully crafted magic ring. Then he picked up Catherine's hand, put the magic ring on Catherine's hand, and He whispered to her: "My dear, from now on, you can use this ring to use all the royal magic circles like me."
Catherine nodded numbly, but there was still a smile on her face. Fernando XIII smiled and said: "Look at you, you are so happy that you are at a loss. Why don't you open it quickly and put the ring on me." Catherine added He nodded once, opened the box and put another magic ring on Fernando XIII's finger.
Seeing that the two of them had completed the ceremony, Henry said loudly: "From now on, Mr. Crewe, Fernando, and Catherine, Ms. Randy, will become husband and wife. Under the guidance of the God of Light, you will become one body and will never be together again." Separation.”
Having said this, Henry opened the "Praise of Light" in his other hand and read out loud a long sentence praising the God of Light. When Fernando XIII was a little impatient, Henry finally completed this step. Entering the most important and final step of the entire wedding, the crowning of the queen,
