The guests who can come to participate in the marriage between the two countries are all rich or noble, and have a certain understanding of the extraordinary world. Even Edmund Robert knows a little about it, but even if he doesn't know, he still understands that it is the seven major churches.
The pope and pontiffs rarely leave church headquarters.
Even though Albert Mendoza, the Pope of the Church of Knowledge, is the most active of the seven major churches and often participates in various academic discussions, that was only in Bernas, the capital of Lemberg, where the headquarters of the Church of Knowledge is.
This includes both the great political and religious significance brought by the status of the Pope, and also the consideration of security. After all, there are more than one "0" level sealed artifact stored in the church headquarters.
Albert can be so active largely because Lomborg, Marcy, and Sehgal are countries with theocratic power and religious power is greater than royal power, so they don't have to worry about opposition from the royal families of various countries.
The reason why the guests thought that Albert was not just here to attend the wedding was because of the orb she was holding in her hand. Every time before the king ascended the throne, this orb would be brought to the headquarters of the Church of Knowledge by the crown prince.
Zong then gave it back, which was one of the ceremonies at the coronation ceremony.
This kind of orb is called the "King Power Orb". There are three in total, one each for Lunberg, Maxi, and Segal. They are all gifts from the Church of Knowledge. Because the orb resembles an eye, some people also call it
It is "the gaze of God", which means that the king holding the orb will be under the gaze of the God of knowledge and wisdom.
What's more, King Orf of Masi has already put on the royal robes he wore when he ascended the throne, the crown of the first King Kailov II when he ascended the throne, and the scepter in his hand was also used when he ascended the throne.
In the crowd, Desiree's smeared face became paler. Although Karl had told her, she still didn't believe it. It wasn't that she didn't believe that Orff would pass the throne to Rawls, but that she didn't believe that during the wedding
The title of superiority will not be recognized without the coronation of the Pope.
But now that even the Pope is here, the persistence in her heart is like a bubble that bursts as soon as it is poked.
"Haha, you are a little too anxious, Orff, maybe it would be better to change the time."
Albert looked around and whispered to King Orff.
The guests at the banquet could still control their emotions, but the people who came to watch the ceremony could not conceal their excitement. Some of them cheered Albert's name, and some held their heads, opened their mouths, and stared wide-eyed.
They believed what they saw, but they did not choose to attack the isolation zone composed of soldiers and police. Otherwise, the soldiers and police who were in a state of excitement with them would not be able to stop them.
"This is a suitable day. Rawls needs your arrival. His time in Ma Xi is still too short."
In fact, Orff only wanted to try it once at first, but he did not expect that Albert would directly agree. The king, who had come to the end of his life, looked at the Holy Emblem of Knowledge on St. Wilhelm's Cathedral and sighed:
"The only person I might be sorry for is Delina's child. On her wedding day, she was not the protagonist."
At the end of today, tomorrow's newspapers will definitely contain news about Albert's trip and Rawls's accession to the throne. Delina will definitely be mentioned much less often than a simple wedding.
Albert had no pretensions to the Pope of the Knowledge Church and said with a smile:
"Then it depends on Rawls and whether he can coax him."
"I believe him." Orf paused his scepter, "Okay, Your Majesty, it's time for us to go in. The bride should be arriving soon."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Pope Albert and King Orff passed through the crowd gathered at the door of the church and entered the interior of the church without talking to anyone.
As the groom and the soon-to-be crown prince, Rawls had a hint of majesty in his voice, which made the guests wake up:
"Everyone, the wedding is about to begin, it's time for us to enter the church."
His eyes fell on Edmund Robert again. His uncle was a believer in the Storm Lord and could not enter the church, but this was the only thing he could do.
After saying that, he entered the church and left the guests present. These guests looked at each other, and naturally those who could step into the church followed. Even believers of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, who were great nobles, they would spend their entire lives
You may not even get to see the Pope once.
About half an hour later, the bride from the Augustus family of the Loen royal family arrived at the square in a carriage. Delina was dressed the same as the day she left Loen, with a white wedding dress and a waterfall-like bouquet.
Wearing a veil, holding Covington's arm, he walked step by step towards the door of the church.
In front of the two people were the flower girls, including Govington's daughter Charlotte. Behind them were two princesses, Audrey and Caroline, who were also holding bouquets and dressed as bridesmaids.
Although there were still cheers on both sides, it was significantly less than when Albert appeared. Most people were still immersed in the scene just now. This was also true for the guests who had not yet entered the church.
Delina and Covington, who didn't know what was going on, still kept their standard smiles, stepped on the blue carpet, and smiled and greeted the cheering people around them. Audrey and Caroline were also a little surprised, but no matter how good they were,
In upbringing or at such an important moment as today, they are not allowed to behave rudely.
As a believer of the Lord of Storms, Govington stopped at the door of the church and watched his sister Delina step into the church alone. Then he walked next to his wife Mary, who was obviously not in a good state, and whispered softly
asked:
"What's wrong with you? Charlotte was calling you just now."
Princess Mary finally woke up and saw Charlotte being held by Caroline. She smiled apologetically and explained:
"His Majesty Albert Mendoza, the Pope of the Church of Knowledge, arrived just now with the 'Orb of Royal Power'. The groom will be crowned king today."
"What?"
Govington obviously didn't believe his ears, his voice rose for a moment, and then he showed an apologetic smile to the guests around him. Others didn't pay much attention to it. Their performance just now was not much better than Govington.
Audrey, who was standing with Caroline, also opened her eyes wide, covered her mouth lightly, and turned her head to look inside the church, but she only saw the guests who were already seated on both sides of the blue carpet, and the people standing with their backs to her.
Groom and bride.
His Majesty Albert Mendoza, that is a real angel. Although Mr. Fool is a true god-like existence, after all, it is above the gray fog. This is the first time for her to have such close contact with an angel.
.
As for her doubts about the groom Rawls, they disappeared without a trace.
…
Delina's hands holding the waterfall-like bouquet were trembling, and her eyes were wandering. Although her feet were steady, the abnormality outside just now still made her heart sink. In her opinion, it seemed that the people of Ma Xi were not very well.
Welcoming her, the bride from Loen, the faint flame of hope in her heart gradually extinguished.
Even stepping into the church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom for the first time and welcoming her own wedding did not make her depressed mood any better. How many good things can happen between two people with different beliefs, different countries, and political marriages?
The results of it?
Whether it was the applauding guests on both sides, the flower girls in front, or the music playing, she seemed not to see or hear it. Naturally, she did not notice the priest standing at the front of the church communicating with King Orff.
Zon Albert Mendoza.
Suddenly, her wandering eyes froze, and she saw the young man standing three or four steps in front of her. She recognized him, had seen his photo, and looked very similar to the Viscount Derian whom she had met once.
It's just that his facial features are tougher and his eyes are grey-blue.
Seeing that Delina was distracted, Rawls still had a smile on his face. He took two steps forward, turned around and stood beside her, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them:
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Ah, no." Delina reacted quickly and regained her composure after blinking, "After all, this is the first time..."
She froze mid-sentence. She said the wrong thing.
Rawls chuckled and said:
"This is also my first time getting married. Please take care of me in the future."
"……good."
Delina was stunned for a moment, her lips were soft and her smile was sincere.
Maybe there's still some hope, right?
The two walked forward normally, smiling and nodding with the guests on both sides, while chatting in low voices. Many people who knew that the two had never met before began to wonder if they had memory problems.
"Are you going to be crowned today?"
Delina's movements were stagnant, and then she returned to normal. She looked towards the front and saw the two old people standing in the front. She naturally recognized them as she had memorized some important people in Ma Xi before coming here.
King Orff and Pope Albert Mendoza.
She also understood in an instant why the people and guests outside were a little distracted just now. Compared to her and the groom, the pope's appearance was rare.
"Not only me, you will also become Ma Xi's queen."
At this time, the two people had reached the front of the church, stopped talking, and climbed the six steps. The best man Carl stood next to Rawls, and an unmarried woman from the Gonzalez family stood next to Delina as the bridesmaid.
, in front are King Orff and Pope Albert Mendoza.
This is not a normal wedding, otherwise Delina would have taken her father's arm and walked on the carpet to where she is now, while Rawls and Karl stood here waiting, and finally sang along with the music and choir.
Complete hymn.
However, since the two of them come from countries with different beliefs, there will naturally be some changes in this regard.
After the hymn ended, Albert Mendoza, wearing a plain white robe without any patterns, stood in front of the four people, looked around at the crowd, his white eyebrows trembling:
"Guests, we are gathered here. Under the witness of God and you, the bridegroom and the bride are about to enter the sacred wedding hall. Marriage is an important wealth and experience in a person's life. It is a sacred vow signed in front of the gods. It has been
God’s blessing…
So, if anyone has legitimate reasons for thinking that these two people cannot get married, please point it out now, otherwise there will be no reason to object later. You should understand that all people cannot legally become husband and wife without the blessing of God."
Albert paused, waiting for guests who might object. After a few seconds, he nodded with satisfaction and looked at Rawls and said:
"Rolls, are you willing to marry this young lady to become your legal wife, live together, protect her marriage, always love her, care for her, respect her, and protect her loyally throughout her life regardless of health or illness, poverty or wealth?
?"
"I do." Rawls replied solemnly.
"Delina, are you willing to marry this gentleman and become your legal husband, live together, protect your marriage, always love him, care for him, respect him, and protect him loyally throughout your life regardless of health or illness, poverty or wealth?
One life?"
"I do." Delina nodded and replied.
Albert immediately raised his voice:
"Who made this gentleman and this lady husband and wife?"
“I, Rawls González, take you, Delina Augustus, as my wife in the sacred covenant of marriage, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in health or in sickness.
Love and cherish each other until death do us part, I promise you!"
Rawls turned to look at Delina and held her hand. A low voice echoed in the hall, and Delina's voice also sounded immediately.
“I, Delina Augustus, take you, Rawls González, as my husband in the sacred covenant of marriage, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in health or in sickness.
Love and cherish each other until death do us part, I promise you!"
"God bless this ring and bless the person who gives it and the person who receives it that they will be faithful to each other and love each other forever until the end of their lives."
Albert took out a ring set with sapphires and diamonds, handed it to Rawls, and drew the "Omniscient Eye" on his chest:
"Knowledge is sublime!"
Rawls took the ring and put it on Delina's left ring finger. The two looked at each other and smiled, then turned to look at the guests present and said in unison:
"Wearing this ring, we enter into a marriage contract, and we will protect each other until the end of our lives."
Then the two of them drew the "Omniscient Eye" on their chests and shouted in a deep voice:
"Knowledge is sublime!"
Then the believers of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom in the hall made the same move and said piously:
"Knowledge is sublime!"
In the hall, warm applause began to echo.
As the two turned around again, Albert had already stepped aside, and King Orf Gonzalez came to them. He seemed to be young again in an instant, with a loud and powerful voice:
"On this special day, witnessed by the guests present and His Majesty Pope Albert Mendoza, I pass on the throne to Rawls Gonzalez. From today on, the Kingdom of Marsi
There will be a new king."
After speaking, he handed the scepter inherited from the first king to Rawls, slowly took off the crown from his head, and put it on Rawls' head.
