The grand dinner was accompanied by singing and dancing and was held in the gorgeous King's Palace. The guests of the royal wedding were seated in order according to their title and age. Everyone's face was filled with warm smiles.

.
Until then, Shulot, who was dressed in a rich dress, was guided by the guards and came to sit down beside Avitt. Seeing the protagonist of the wedding arriving, the royal family and nobles stood up to pay their respects, smiling and blessing him.
Shulot smiled and nodded, returning the salutes to the nobles one by one. When he returned the salutes, his smile was a little stiff, the words in his ears came and went, and his eyes glanced at the rich food on the bamboo mat from time to time. He was really hungry for too long today.
I was already hungry, and the hunger in my body hit me in waves, which overshadowed the nervousness of the wedding, but it wasn't time to eat yet.
The sun was setting in the west and night was approaching, hundreds of alliance nobles gathered together. The elder Kakamazin first gave a speech, praising the supreme god, telling about the glory of the royal family, and finally praising the newlyweds. Then, King Avit gave another speech and sang praises
The main gods and ancestors emphasize the divine blessing of the royal family and bless the marriage to be happy and long-lasting.
"...My ruby scepter comes from my grandfather, the great Montezuma I! It possesses the divinity of the sun god and is inlaid with the largest ruby in the world!"
Avitt stood up from the throne, his voice gradually becoming more and more passionate. He took the ruby scepter respectfully given by the attendant, raised his left hand high, and while scanning the crowd, he made a majestic declaration. Seeing this scene, the female snake Gillim at the head
There was a thump in my heart, and I suddenly pursed my lips.
"This staff was inherited from my mother, Artothostris II! My glorious grandfather passed it on to my blessed mother. My blessed mother gave it to
Kill me! Now, I want to announce in front of you in the name of my ancestors: I will pass this staff to my eldest daughter, the eldest princess of the royal family, Alyssa, after the royal wedding!"
Hearing this, all the nobles present were shocked. They couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the shining divine object in the king's hand, the extraordinary ruby scepter!
There are two magic staffs in the Mexica Alliance. One is a topaz staff passed down from generation to generation and passed down from the ancestral tribe; the other is a ruby staff made by Montezuma I, symbolizing the rise of kingship. In
In the eyes of the traditional nobles, both wands symbolize the supreme royal power, are closely connected with the history of the Mexica people, and contain some kind of divinity that is difficult to explain.
For a moment, everything was quiet in the king's palace, and only the breathing of everyone could be heard. Many people were silent in thought, many were dazzled, and many were shocked...
Avitt looked calm and looked around at everyone. Regarding the inheritance of the divine staff, no one dared to object face to face or question it. Then, he took a deep look at Shulot, and then announced with a smile
.
"Praise the Lord God! The dinner begins, enjoy the delicious food!"
"Praise the Lord God! Praise the King!"
Hearing the familiar prayers, the nobles responded in unison, and the atmosphere in the venue relaxed. The nobles greeted each other and talked and laughed loudly while taking the delicacies. Most of the envoys who witnessed from various countries bowed their heads slightly and chewed slowly.
As he sipped the food in his mouth, he thought about the inheritance of the throne of the Mexica Alliance behind the scepter.
Shulot was stunned for a while, staring at the ruby scepter that was very close at hand. The star ruby on the scepter had perfect lines and bright star marks, and it must weigh more than a hundred carats. He has always been worried about this kind of national treasure at the level of a museum.
I have longed for it and thought about it for a long time.
"...Alyssa's...my wife's...um...can also be considered mine...right?"
After a while, Shulot swallowed lightly, lowered his head, and worked hard to prepare for the sumptuous dinner. There were still many activities in the evening, and he had to quickly conserve his energy.
The first banquet was extremely grand and long, lasting from sunset to the end of the sun, and darkness enveloped the earth. A large bonfire was lit in the king's palace, and everyone ate very happily, but did not drink.
According to traditional Mexican wedding customs, a dinner party is held at the home of the woman and the man. No drinking is allowed in the first party, and only those over 30 years old are allowed to drink in the second party.
Karkamazin looked at the sky. The moon rose from the east and was obscured by clouds in the night sky. It was a good night without light. With a smile on his face, he came to the center of the palace, raised his hands high, and announced loudly.
"...The light of fire brings blessings! Light the blazing torch to dispel the thick darkness and escort the groom and bride to the high priest's house!"
"Okay! Let's light the torches!"
"The clouds protect the newlyweds and shield the evil moon!..."
"The black wolf escorts the sun, waiting for the new sun to rise!..."
Everyone stood up one after another, saying blessings in their mouths, and lit a prepared torch in their hands. Within a moment, little bits of fire surrounded Shulot in the middle. Then, the torches on both sides separated a passage, and the dignified old man
The woman bent over and carried a beautiful and delicate girl to Shulot's side.
"Alyssa!..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Shulot's eyes widened and he looked attentively, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Alyssa was wearing a pure white cotton robe, with her black hair tied up, and her red hair was red.
With her crystal-clear jade feet, she lay on the back of the wedding messenger. Her white robe was tightened slightly at first, outlining her slender waist, and then relaxed slightly, allowing her long, white and pink legs to be looming.
"Xulot..."
Hearing her lover's call, Alyssa raised her head slightly, glanced at Shulot boldly, and responded in a low voice.
Her eyes were like water, and her expression was shy, but also a little charming. Her beautiful face was covered with a light blush, like a newly ripe apple, with some tempting greenness. Her soft lips were dyed with rouge.
However, it was as pink and tender as a cherry, making people eager to taste it. Under the reflection of the firelight, the girl's whole body was shrouded in a warm orange light, giving people a strong urge to hug.
Shulot pursed his lips and swallowed secretly. Seeing the difficulty in carrying the old woman, he took a step forward and extended his big hand to the delicate girl...
"Snapped!"
Avitt arrived first, raised his scepter, and blocked Shulot's hand. He glared at Shulot fiercely, turned around, and said to the old woman.
"Thank you for your help, uncle!"
"Haha, it doesn't matter! Being able to get married behind Alyssa's back is fulfilling one of my wishes!"
The old woman smiled heartily, with a calm and kind expression. According to the custom of the alliance, the bride must be carried from the woman's home to the man's home by a respected old woman. There can be no substitutions during the whole process, and the bride cannot land. During the ceremony
Once completed, the bride officially changes from a daughter in her father's family to a wife in the man's family.
"well..."
Thinking of this, Avitt lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes a little astringent. He gritted his teeth, glared at Shulot again, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Walk!"
Upon hearing the king's call, everyone held torches and poured out of the palace, forming a wedding procession of hundreds of people. At the center of the procession were the families of the wedding parties, in the middle were the following alliance nobles, and on the periphery were the musicians.
Musicians and blessing singers, and the outermost are royal warriors wearing robes and armor underneath.
Everyone walked slowly while singing and playing music. A large number of people from the capital were attracted to watch the wedding from a distance and praised loudly. From the King's Palace to the High Priest's Palace, it was a short journey, but it was a long journey.
It took two quarters of an hour to arrive at the brightly lit high priest's palace.
High Priest Shuter, wearing a complicated dress and a bright feather crown, had already greeted him at the main entrance of the high priest's house. As the man's head, he had been waiting in the house to prepare for the second dinner.
"Greetings to you, High Priest Shuter! The Lord God has shed his glory, and the cardinal brings good news!"
Kakamazin held a torch and stood at the front of the team. He lowered his head slightly, with a smile on his face.
"Blessed by our ancestors! The sacred wedding is coming soon. A happy marriage is like the heaven and earth at night. Together they will never be separated!"
"Greetings, Elder Kakamazin!"
High Priest Shuter stood at the door and glanced at Shulot from a distance. Then, he lowered his head and bowed deeply.
"Witnessed by the Lord God, blessed by the ancestors! The door in the middle has been opened to welcome the sacred wedding. The two parties at the wedding are like heaven and earth, joining together at night to give birth to divine descendants! From now on, only the call of the Lord God will separate them!"
After saying that, the two old men smiled tacitly, touched their arms, and led the team behind them to walk into the main entrance of the high priest's house. The two had known each other for many years. They were not much different in age, and they were brothers from the same ancestor.
The wedding procession filed in and gathered again in the garden of the high priest's palace. The garden was vast, and in the center was the altar of the main god. Under the mark of the main god, there was a huge fire pit that had just been dug. The fire pit was filled with thatch.
Pine branches and spices, and a hemp mat of seven or eight square meters in front of the fire pit.
"...Light a new bonfire! Under the gaze of the ancestors, the groom and the bride sit on the banquet, using ancient rituals to connect each other as one!"
After saying that, Kakamatsu stretched out the torch and lit the bonfire with his own hands. The warm flames ignited immediately, and wisps of green smoke rose from the grass pile. Soon, with the help of rosin, the flame grew rapidly, and the fragrance of rosin mixed with the pleasant smell.
The spice of man spreads throughout the garden.
Seeing this scene, Shulot was a little nervous. Next, came the most important part of the wedding, the connection ceremony between the groom and the bride!
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, he was led by Uncle Kakamatsu and sat on the left side of the hemp mat. Uncle Kakamatsu took off his robe and removed his shirt, revealing the young man's well-defined chest.
Then, panting and covered in sweat, the old woman put Alyssa down on her back. After all, she was already in her fifties. Even though she was strong, she was indeed a little tired after carrying it for a long time. Fortunately, although Alyssa was
It's very generous, but its body is light and as delicate as a cloud.
"Uncle, thank you!"
The girl in white thanked her and showed a joyful smile. She glanced shyly at Shulot next to her, then bent her knees and sat on the right side of the mat with bare feet.
Shulot was sitting at the table, his right shoulder was slightly heavy, and he leaned against a gentle person. With fire rising in his heart, he stretched out his arms powerfully and hugged the soft girl in his arms.
"ah!"
Alyssa let out a low breath, her eyelids drooped, and her face turned red. She turned her face slightly to the side and pressed it against Hulot's chest.
"Haha! The heroic jaguar and the beautiful white deer... It is really a wedding blessed by the Lord God and given by the God!"
Seeing this scene, the surrounding nobles laughed and praised it sincerely. The Mexica Federation was only a country for more than fifty years, and its customs were simple and vigorous, and it still retained the traditions of many tribes and clans.
Shulot hugged the beautiful lady and felt the tenderness in his arms. He took a gentle sniff, and the girl's breath hit his nostrils, making him fascinated.
"...The wedding ceremony should be faster!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As if hearing his call, Kakamazin laughed heartily. Holding a large black cloak in his hand, he smiled and walked to the mat where the newlyweds were sitting.
.
"Xulot, Alyssa! The ancestors of the Mexica royal family are watching you in the firelight, witnessing the sacred wedding!!"
The elder Kakamatsu called the two people by their names and spoke loudly. There was a sudden silence in the garden, and everyone held their breath and watched intently. Under countless expectant eyes, Kakamatsu unfolded his loose cloak with his own hands.
, directly shrouding the two newcomers sitting next to each other!
The cloak fell, Shulot put away his joy, and his expression became solemn. He tightened his arms, exerted a little force, and held his beloved girl tightly in his arms. Then, the young man lowered his head silently and solemnly swore in his heart! He would honor his ancestors,
Bloodline, gods and everything in awe, come and promise to love and stay together for the rest of your life!!
Alyssa's face showed joy at first, and then a little sadness. She raised her head slightly and glanced at her father not far away, showing obvious reluctance. However, after a few breaths, she still turned her head
, leaning hard against the strong chest of her lover, a sweet smile from the heart appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing his daughter's behavior, Avitt clenched the magic staff in his hand and felt infinite sorrow in his heart. He felt it in a daze, and there was joy in the sorrow, and there was also confusion in the joy. At this moment, the voice and appearance of his deceased wife suddenly came to his mind.
, finally making his eyes moist and smiling.
Further away, High Priest Shuter stood straight and stared at the two people in the cloak. His eyes were gratified, and a satisfied smile appeared on his old face. But unknowingly, the old man's spine became rickety. And that
In the happy smile, there is deep reluctance and regret.
Next to the high priest, Shusoke was laughing heartily, even opening his arms unconsciously. He looked at his heroic son, his face full of pride and joy. After a while, he looked at his fat belly again,
Smiling and laughing, tears overflowed for no reason.
"The clan is passed down in the light of fire! The immortal ancestors of the royal family will pass on the divine blood to you!"
Under the attention of hundreds of nobles, Kakamazin spoke again. He stretched out his hands, grasped the corners of both sides of the cloak, then held them together and tied a tight knot with force!
"Xulot, Alyssa! From this moment on, you officially become husband and wife! You will form a noble family, you will give birth to descendants of the gods, and you will continue the royal bloodline! You will blend together like blood and water.
Let’s go to the end of our lives together until the day we die!!”
