On this day, a wedding in the Albrex Empire attracted the attention of almost the entire continent of Toril.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on the brilliant golden dome of the newly built Light Cathedral in Waldenhof, loud hymns rang out in the church.
Not long ago, Emperor Peter I of Ablix issued a decree announcing the opening of faith in the God of Light, but only in the Ludendorff realm of the royal family.
Only one Cathedral of Light can be built in the Ludendorff Territory, and no armed forces are allowed except for clergy. At the same time, they categorically rejected the Holy Empire's request for tax reduction or even tax exemption for belief in the God of Light.
Although the Holy Empire was extremely angry that Peter I broke up the private agreement before the coup, it was really beyond its reach. Even if Albrex imposed extremely strict restrictions on the conditions for the Holy Empire to open faith, the Holy Empire could not agree to it.
But as long as the first nail can be planted in the far north, can the second nail be far away?
You know, a single spark can start a prairie fire!
Not to mention faith!
However, the Holy Empire had a request, which was to send a cardinal archbishop to preside over the wedding ceremony of Peter I.
After discussions between Peter I and the cabinet members, they finally reached an agreement: first agree to the Holy Empire's request, and then slowly pull out the nail that the Holy Empire planted in the imperial capital Wadenhof.
Two thousand Guards knights gathered from all directions and formed a neat formation on the square in front of the church. The bright red carpet stretched from the center of the square directly to the door of the church.
The envoys from several countries arrived at the square under the guidance of the etiquette officer. They were all dressed in their own country's attire and gathered together to form a bright river of colors, adding a lot of splendor to this midsummer.
At ten o'clock in the morning, a snow-white carriage, escorted by a hundred janitor knights, arrived in front of the Cathedral of Light. Peter I, dressed in gold armor, stepped out of the carriage.
A slender hand wearing a white glove stretched out from the carriage. Peter I gently held the jade hand. Catherine, the daughter of the imperial prime minister in a snow-white dress, also stepped out of the carriage.
The hymn in the air reached its climax, and the whole body of the Cathedral of Light emitted a faint holy light.
The heavy oak door of the church opened, and a cardinal archbishop walked out. He was the archbishop of the Holy Empire who was stationed in Albrex and was responsible for the spread of the faith. He came to greet this unusual couple.
Emperor Peter I, dressed in golden armor, held the hand of Queen Catherine and slowly walked into the church under the guidance of ten red archbishops.
The red archbishop now put on his robe and stood in front of the statue of the God of Light, holding a sacred book, to welcome the newcomers.
Queen Catherine looked extremely noble today. She was like an ivory statue, and her whole body seemed to be glowing softly.
Her eyes flashed, as if she were walking on the waves with a light gait, like an angel descending into the world. Even the red archbishop's somewhat dim eyes opened slightly and nodded approvingly.
Next to the red archbishop, stood Dasohan, the deputy captain of the Holy Knights, wearing ceremonial armor.
This legendary knight who participated in the coup not long ago has completely restrained the murderous aura and smell of blood in his body today. He stood quietly, as if he was integrated with the entire church. If he had not observed carefully, he would not have noticed this powerful man at all.
Continental figures stood there.
After the wedding, Dathrohan and the Holy Church personnel with strength above the Holy Domain must leave Albrex, which is also one of the conditions.
Peter I and Catherine came to stand in front of the Cardinal, waiting for the blessing of the God of Light.
In fact, according to the status of Peter I, the Pope of the Holy Empire should personally preside over the wedding, but it is really unrealistic, and it is impossible for the Pope to travel across almost the entire continent to come to Albrex.
The red archbishop opened the holy book with trembling hands, and the old voice finally sounded:
"Dear Emperor Aleks, His Majesty Peter I, in the name of the God of Light, are you willing to marry the woman next to you and give her happiness?"
Peter I smiled boldly: "I do! I am willing to use a thousand-year dynasty and thousands of miles of land as a betrothal gift for the most beautiful Miss Catherine Jones!"
"Then" the cardinal archbishop turned another page of the holy book, "Dear Your Highness Catherine, are you willing to marry the emperor beside you and promise to be lifelong?"
"I do! I, Katherine Jones, will not only be His Majesty Peter's best wife, but also a solid pillar of the Albrex Empire!"
At this time, not only the red archbishop, but also all the nobles present, Gao Guang, were a little moved: I didn't expect that the daughter of the prime minister, who was always weak and kind in the rumors, would suddenly become so strong. There was a hint of ambition in her words, which was obviously inconsistent with the rumors.
.
So everyone looked at the Imperial Prime Minister Zangwill, but the Imperial Prime Minister's face was calm and showed no emotion. Everyone couldn't help but curse in their hearts:
"This old thief has deep connections in the city. The daughter he trained is also a scheming bitch. His status in the empire has not been overturned by the change of dynasties, and he quickly embraced the new emperor. What a fucking old fox!"
Although everyone is thinking this, at this moment Zangwill is not only the prime minister of the empire, but his daughter has also been promoted to empress of the empire and has become the emperor's father-in-law. Even if they are unhappy, they will be more fawning and close to her in the future.
The wedding is not over yet, everyone turns their attention back to the grand wedding.
The red archbishop looked at Catherine carefully from behind the thick crystal mirror. She stood there calmly, looking at the archbishop calmly. Her reserved nobility and holiness made the red archbishop who had seen countless people feel the same.
His eyes lit up.
This woman obviously doesn’t match the information’s record of being kind and cowardly!
After pondering for a moment, the red archbishop stretched out a withered hand. His cloudy eyeballs suddenly emitted golden light, and his whole person changed from an old-fashioned temperament to an extremely holy one, as if he were the incarnation of God walking in the world.
Peter I and Catherine held their hands together and stretched forward, but they sneered in their hearts: Is it a miracle? They spent a lot of money! Just wait, one day, I will uproot you!
The archbishop's dry hand gently touched their joined hands, and the entire Cathedral of Light suddenly seemed to be alive. Every heartbeat of the archbishop would bring about a heavy response from the church.
Slowly, the entire square and even the imperial capital Wadenhof began to tremble with the Archbishop's heartbeat!
All the guards knights in the square had a look of awe on their faces. The citizens of Waldenhof, no matter what they were doing, put down their work and stood up respectfully, facing the direction of the Cathedral of Light.
, praying randomly.
Because they don't know what the teachings of the Holy Church are, and they have no intention of believing in the God of Light. They just do it out of trembling instinct.
Because it is a miracle and a divine power.
At this moment, everyone has the same heartbeat.
The red-clothed archbishop's vigorous voice, which seemed not to come from this world, sounded:
"In the name of the Lord, bless the Lord! The Lord says, the Albrex Empire will prosper!"
A huge pillar of holy light soared into the sky from the Cathedral of Light, with countless shining angels flying around the pillar of light.
Divine power, so terrifying!
After the blessing ceremony was over, the red archbishop's face seemed a bit older. He closed the holy book, regained his old and dim-sighted appearance, and said slowly:
"Dear Majesty Peter I, Queen Catherine, bless you! May the gospel of the Lord be spread to every corner of the continent under your protection."
Peter I and Catherine slowly walked out of the cathedral shrouded in holy light.
At this moment, on one side of the square were two thousand janitor knights, and on the other side were envoys from various countries watching the ceremony.
Behind each country's envoys are one hundred to five hundred knights from their own country. This time, the envoys from each country brought their country's most elite knights, and the number of knights represented the military strength of each country.
Among them, the Xirel Empire, the Batoria Empire and the Shire Principality have the most prosperous military capabilities.
But everyone knows that the strongest knights in the continent today are undoubtedly the Holy Knights who are absent today. Unfortunately, due to the restrictions of the agreement, they cannot come to Albrex.
Peter I looked at the teams of knights. Although he was already familiar with which countries they came from and how many knights they came, he still couldn't suppress the blood boiling in his heart at this moment!
He wants to be the greatest emperor Albrex has ever known!
