"The time is coming."
Those who accompanied Emperor Root counted the time with their pocket watches.
Orsis was originally accompanied by his younger brother, Prince Arthur. Unfortunately, due to the prince's treason scandal that the royal family tried their best to cover up, it was Orsis's good friend, the Duke of Leicester, who assumed this responsibility.
Compared with the overly feminine appearance of his younger brother, Prince Arthur, Orsis's handsomeness is more uncontroversial.
The young monarch has silver-grey eyes, and if he restrains his smile, he will appear particularly grim. The curly hair that has been carefully managed is covered with a faint, golden brilliance in the sun, making the facial features more and more like a statue of a handsome man in the classical era, elegant and full of strength. The body is fit and not exaggerated, and the bright silver coat on the body is inlaid with many gold and silver threads and pearls. Each silver buckle is carefully cast into the shape of a royal lily, and the center is embellished with diamonds.
Already seeing the Roland flag in the distance, Orsis nodded.
The team of the Root Empire began to enter the city of Belle Ride.
Behind the young emperor was a group of courtiers with different moods, the younger ones were full of curiosity, the older ones were worried.
However, there is no doubt that they are concerned about the same thing: Queen Roland's fame is spread far and wide, and the entire sea of heaven and even the kingdom of Ule know that she is the most beloved rose of the gods of this era, and no one can match it.
Hmm... Along with her beauty, there are countless rumors that make people think.
Some people say that she is a rose bestowed by God on earth, others say that she is a carefully disguised gift from hell, and there is a fascinating magic hidden in her rose-colored eyes. With just one glance, she conquered Prince Arthur, who is known for his madness and arrogance, and made His Royal Highness willingly kneel down in front of her. Rumors spread so widely that even Abigail's allegiance to the Iron Cross was misinterpreted as being obsessed with beauty.
In addition to the strong vigilance, the Lute people also want to witness it with their own eyes.
Belgrade is also known as the "City of Angels".
It is embraced by the continuous Turgu Mountains. When the weather is fine, the indigo pine forest, the milky white castle walls, and the high and low rose red roofs together constitute the exquisite masterpiece of the painter. As the meeting place for the most noble kings of the two empires, it has been cleaned up and dressed up from the inside to the outside during this period of time.
All the houses on either side of the flagged streets were trimmed with scarlet or platinum satin, and all the windows were as bright as mirrors, and all the walls were white as snow. The new pattern composed of roses and lilies symbolizes the combination of the two oldest and most noble families, and also implies that a pair of young people with extraordinary identities will sign a sacred vow to each other here today.
The road connecting the north and south gates is covered with a red carpet, and at the end of the carpet are the left and right gates of the nave of the Kashmir Cathedral.
The church bell rang.
In the solemn and heavy bells, the two young monarchs walked towards each other.
The sound of the music spread out in the embrace of the Turgu Mountains. Residents of Belgrade saw the most grand ceremony they had ever seen in their lives, with tall horses, gorgeous costumes, and a dazzling array of jewelry.
When the teams from both sides arrived at the Kashmir Cathedral, the pipe organ was played at the same time, and the sound of the wind and the melody poured into the entire space together, and the grandeur and holiness came down to the world like the kingdom of heaven.
Orsis climbed the stone steps of the church and entered the nave.
He saw the rose of the gods coming toward him through the archway.
… … … … … … …
"In all fairness, I can fully understand the choice of His Royal Highness Prince Arthur..."
Years later, poet Paul Carraway of the Root Empire wrote so in his memoirs.
He was one of the attendants who met Orsis I and Adele the Great in 1558, and witnessed the grand engagement ceremony.
After returning to the Root Empire from the city of Belgrade, he wrote countless poems, essays and letters about that meeting. These letters have become important historical materials for later generations to verify the complex relationship between Adele the Great and Orsis I.
Paul Carraway, the poet who always likes to criticize the aristocratic literature for being too tedious and gorgeous, and strives for simplicity and simplicity, when he wrote about that meeting, he was uncharacteristically, using almost all the gorgeous words he knew, trying his best to describe about the Every detail of Queen Roland.
"She was wearing a bright red long dress that day. The red was so compelling and harsh that only those with skin as white as new snow dared to try it. But on her, the red was subdued and enslaved. The petal-like skirts are stacked one after another, and the gemstones on them are shining when they come out. The translucent silver veil covered with diamonds hangs down to the waist, like stars pouring down, kissing the graceful waist with the wind... "
"However, it is not the jewels that really make the stars shine, but she herself. There is no doubt that God will take her back to His kingdom one day—how can the world be so beautiful? In the thousands of lights, she looks at her eyes In between, who can not fall in love with the sparkling magnificent eyes?"
"Her beauty is overwhelming, commanding all directions, and beguiling to make people bow their heads. The timid, wavering, incompetent, cowardly...should not witness her brilliance with their own eyes, because that would Let them go to ashes. She rewrote the symbolic meaning of the rose, no longer just love and sacrifice, but also a proud, inescapable, crowned head that never hangs down."
"If you see her, you will understand that there will never be another Adele Roland in a hundred years, no, a thousand years."
…
"How happy I am!"
At the last moment of his life, the poet of the literary period left a puzzling exclamation to his children.
"And how sad you are!"
… … … … … … …
How unfortunate not to have been born in the same era as Queen Adele! How sad it is not to be able to witness her beauty!
While the solemn bell was ringing, people all sighed in unison when they saw the young Queen Roland stepping up to the high platform.
The sunlight poured in from the stained glass windows on the dome of the church, shrouding the two young people like divine revelation. Even though they knew it was just a political performance, the scene was still beautiful and refined.
At the insistence of the Roland Empire, the gender status difference in the engagement ceremony was erased.
Throughout the process, Queen Roland, who will "marry" Orsis in the future, participates in a completely equal capacity with Emperor Lut. Orsis only has the identity of the queen's future husband, not King Roland. This symbolizes that the two countries are allied as equals rather than either country becoming a vassal of the other.
Even the most stubborn and ambitious Root officials have to admit at this time that their plans have failed.
Those who met in the Kashmir Cathedral were not men and women who would be shaken by love, but the youngest and most outstanding powerful ruler of this era.
The two suns rose in the same era, and the light shrouded the Red Sea, the Sea of Heaven and even the more distant continents. Perhaps in the distant future, a new war will break out between them.
At this moment, the two suns finally met.
