Chapter 823: An expected change

Ask took Eleanor's hand and walked towards the front of the church.

Eleanor smiled gently, and the mist of will quickly spread out, covering the entire Aachen Cathedral.

If anyone is approaching the cathedral, they can react immediately.

Archbishop Germania is a kind old man wearing a long robe, brown glasses, and a white beard. It is said that he served as a cardinal in the Vatican when he was young.

He held a scripture in his left hand and a cross in his right hand. After preaching to the guests, he gently gestured to the two newlyweds to come over, stand face to face with each other, and gaze into each other's eyes.

"Your Highness, Sophie Caroline von Saxony." The Archbishop read out the Saxony family name given to Eleanor when she was born. "Do you want to marry Mr. Asklepios Achilles as your wife, live with him according to the teachings of the Bible, and be united with him before God, love him, comfort him, respect him, and protect him as you love yourself. Whether he is sick or healthy, rich or poor, you will always be faithful to him until you leave this world?"

"I do." Eleanor said without hesitation.

"Ask..." The archbishop turned around, but before he could pronounce Ask's full name, Eleanor's pupils suddenly shrank and she stood in front of Ask.

A figure rushed in from outside the church and smashed the closed church door to pieces. The two imperial knights guarding the scene were also violently knocked out by the burly figure.

The guy rushed to Eleanor and suddenly fell to the ground in a mess. Bruno, who was sitting on the bench next to him, snapped his fingers, destroying his idea of running.

The surrounding imperial knights with black crosses on white backgrounds swarmed up and pressed their swords against his neck. The uninvited guest struggled to raise his head, revealing the face of a bearded Norman warrior, who took out a roll of wax-sealed paper from his sleeve and shouted:

"The Supreme King of the Helsinger Empire! His Majesty the Emperor Sidlifa has sent an urgent and serious inquiry on state affairs to the Imperial Regent of the Holy Solomon Empire, the First Sword Bearer under the Iron Throne, and the eldest princess Sophie!"

"Shut up!" Several elders of the Saxony family at the scene quickly stood up, ordered him not to disrupt the wedding scene again, and asked the Imperial Knights to drag him away quickly.

The Imperial Knight quickly struck him on the cheek with the hilt of his sword, trying to stop him from making any more noise. But the Norman warrior ignored the sword and stubbornly covered his face with his arms to block the blow, enduring the pain and shouting:

"The Ask you are going to marry is the future husband that Her Majesty Sidlifa is already engaged to! If you insist on continuing the wedding, it will be regarded as a malicious provocation against the Otwell family..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the remaining imperial nobles present all changed.

Since the establishment of the Helsinger Empire in the north, there has been almost no peace on the border with the Holy Solomon Empire. On the one hand, there is a struggle for trade rights in the Baltic Sea, and on the other hand, there is a confrontation over the claims of the two major border regions of Schleswig and Holstein.

The former mainly consisted of encounters between caravans, mercenaries and lords' guards at sea, while the latter had seen several large-scale land battles initiated by the military noble lords of the border territories of the two countries.
