The wedding was originally a scene filled with joy and joy, but due to the threat of war brought by uninvited guests, the atmosphere was cast into a heavy cloud.
The guests still held their wine glasses and looked at the newlyweds on the stage, with uncontrollable sadness in their smiles.
Eleanor's face was also very ugly (although this did not detract from her beauty). After all, the only wedding in her life was treated like this, and even the good-tempered girl couldn't bear it.
However, soon, Asik grabbed her hand wrapped in white silk gloves and said with a smile:
"continue."
This sentence seemed to have great power, so Eleanor immediately came back to life with full blood and showed a happy and sweet smile again.
"Then." The Archbishop of Germania sighed, straightened the brown glasses on the bridge of his nose, continued to hold the classics and asked, "Mr. Aske Lepios Achilles, are you willing to..."
Before he finished speaking, suddenly a woman walked into the hole that had been knocked out of the church door again and shouted:
"That's enough! Stop it first!"
The imperial knights hurriedly swarmed forward, but stopped the moment they saw each other's faces clearly, hesitated, and huddled together:
The person who broke in from outside the church was actually the eldest daughter of Otto II and the sister of Eleanor, His Excellency the Bishop of Adelaide who should have been in the Holy See.
"Adelaide?" Eleanor on the stage turned her head in surprise.
"Eleanor, stop." Adelaide put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and walked over calmly, looking at the armored Imperial knights on both sides as if they were nothing. "Don't betray the Holy Lady's love for you."
trust."
The guests present were in an uproar. If the military threat from the Northern Empire was like a thrown axe, then the orders and accusations from the Vatican Saint were more like a sharp knife stabbing into the chest, whether it was a negative impact or a real harm.
, are more serious than the former.
"What kind of betrayal is it?" Eleanor asked coldly, "Are you referring to trying to steal your best friend's fiancé? Or are you referring to letting your sister break into your sister's wedding to prevent her from getting married?
thing?"
"The Holy Lady asked me to tell you: Before Mr. Asker became your fiancé, he had already promised to 'meet her after his return.' For this, the Holy Lady has been waiting for ten years." Adelaide sighed.
She took a breath and said, "The Holy Lady said that she does not hate you for this, and as long as you release Mr. Asker to the Holy See, then the matter will end there."
In the guest seat, three organization cadres from Earth looked at each other silently and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way from Swabia to Aachen, it was undoubtedly quite dangerous for them to try to avoid the eyes and ears of the surrounding escorts and deliver quietly written anonymous letters to the priests in nearby parishes.
However, Comrade Mao Zhongwei has rich experience in this area. Back then, he hid and transported documents containing secret information under the supervision of the Consulate in Houston, the United States, avoiding illegal searches by the U.S. Intelligence Agency.
.
As for whether the priest who received the anonymous letter will report it to Miss Nora, that is beyond their control. Now it seems that everything is going well.
"Otherwise?" Eleanor whispered, "Excommunicate me and issue an order of excommunication?"
Adelaide didn't answer. She looked at her sister with a look of unbearability. After a while, she continued:
"As a sister, I hope you can accept the reality. The White Emperor and the Red Witch in the North are looking for him, and the Saint of the Vatican is also asking for him. Soon the Cangqing Sword and the Eastern Solomon Empire will also join this battle.
Come here."
"Mr. Asker, I didn't mean to target you." She turned her gaze and looked at Asker, who was wearing a groom's dress. "But to be honest, you have become the Helen of this era, a disaster that will bring Trojan horses to the world.
, this matter is indeed sad...but it will not change because of your personal will."
"If you marry her here, it means that she will become the enemy of the world!" She suddenly said sharply and with a stern expression, "Mr. Asker, do you understand what the enemy of the world means?!"
"It's really troublesome." Asik sighed.
Now he finally realized... the entire team he led, eight young girls, are now eight big shots, and every move will bring huge shock to the world.
In the past, he could have used various reasons, just like before returning to Earth, to delay the girls' love and confession, so as not to cause a Shura field that could destroy the world.
However, ever since he returned to this world and agreed to Eleanor's confession (proposal) in a flash of his mind, the delay plan could no longer be used at all.
He must make a choice.
This choice will inevitably lead to war.
Suddenly, Eleanor beside him grabbed his hand and signaled that he didn't need to speak.
"Adelaide, I understand what the Holy See means." Eleanor took a deep breath, and the light in her eyes quickly solidified, "But I will not give up my husband."
"But your religious certificate..." Adelaide said quickly.
"If God wants to take my husband away from me," Eleanor growled, "then I would rather fall into hell with him!"
There was another uproar in Aachen Cathedral.
Many aristocratic guests even stood up in a hurry, pressed their hats or pulled up their collars, and left the wedding venue in a hurry without even daring to say goodbye.
She would rather fall into hell. The nature of these words is more serious than "being excommunicated". It can almost make the Vatican directly judge her as a heretic... Even when Otto II and the Vatican completely broke up, the emperor
I don’t dare to lose my identity as a believer in God, otherwise I will definitely end up being betrayed by everyone.
This eldest princess has gone crazy!
"You, you..." Adelaide was shocked and completely speechless.
After a long while, it turned into a long and bitter sigh:
"does it worth?"
Is it worth it? Ask asked himself in his mind.
Then, he heard Eleanor beside him say decisively:
"worth!"
She held her hand tightly, like a knight holding a sword in his hand, and said firmly without any wavering:
"I am his knight, and I will serve him forever. This body..."
"...Even if I become the enemy of the world, I won't hesitate!"
This oath was so loud that it brought a long silence to Aachen Cathedral.
"Okay." Adelaide nodded sadly, "That's it."
"Eleanor, I don't know if or when the excommunication order will be issued...but there will be no clergy in the Catholic Church in the entire empire willing to officiate at your wedding."
"You guys, just take care of yourself." She turned and left lonely.
"I'm sorry, child." The Archbishop of Germania behind him also sighed, "According to the wishes of the Holy See, I can no longer officiate your wedding."
"Eleanor..." Ask wanted to comfort her, but heard Eleanor say coldly:
"It doesn't matter."
She grabbed the ring she had prepared in advance from the pulpit, put it on herself, then took Asker's one out of the box and put it on his ring finger.
Then, she took the bridal crown woven from a bouquet from the astonished Archbishop of Germania and put it on her head. This should have been completed by the archbishop who presided over the wedding, symbolizing God's love for this marriage.
bless.
Finally, the bride Eleanor, who had done everything by herself, threw herself into her husband's arms with a tearful smile in front of the few remaining guests in the church.
Ask hugged her, and she raised her head and kissed his lips.
