Chapter 357 Marrying the Same Woman in Another Timeline
?Erich spent the next few months improving his relationships with Ayumi and S'aleth. But before he even realized it, the day for his wedding to Erika had finally approached. Thus, at the moment, he was standing within the halls of the Citadel in the World of Germania while dressed in a special white and silver military uniform.
This was a uniform reserved for important ceremonial occasions, which is exactly what today was. In fact, the majority of the military officials standing in the room were dressed in some variation of this uniform based upon their branch and mos.
Standing at the head of the ceremony was none other than the Supreme Leader of the Germanic Star-Empire, Hans Epp, who had decided to officiate this wedding. This would be his last act as the Supreme Leader, whereupon ending the ceremony he would officially step down from the position, allowing Erich to succeed him.
The sad reality was that during this timeline Erich had not attended the academy, nor had he actually served in the military, and thus he was unable to make the bonds of brotherhood that were forged in war that he had in his past life. 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝑤𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝑚
Because of this, Erich did not actually have a best man by his side, but one was appointed to him for the sake of tradition. This was a man that Erich had not served with, but was tasked with pretending like they had.
This total stranger could tell Erich was slightly anxious about this whole thing, and was quick to smile and pat the man on the back in a facade of friendship.
"Are you nervous?"
Erich nodded his head ever so slightly. Of course, he was nervous. So far in this timeline, he had made favorable first impressions of most of the woman who he was romantically involved with during his past life.
But Erika was his biggest failure. After all, in their past life, the two of them were not exactly on good terms. Even when they learned to accept one another as husband and wife, there were some underlying issues with their marriage that never fully resolved itself.
Yet in this life, Erika openly professed a sense of worship and desire towards him that made the man deeply uncomfortable, and thus he responded honestly towards the stranger who was pretending to be his best friend.
"Of course... Who wouldn't be?"
The man chuckled before commenting on Erich's job, reminding him why they were all here.
"I understand, but it doesn't do anyone any good for you to look nervous. Even if you are anxious, play the part of a stoic. You know as well as I do that this whole thing is just a giant propaganda piece, anyway..." freewebn ovel.c om
Erich nodded his head towards the stranger and took a deep breath before forcibly calming his expression. Soon enough, the traditional music began to play, which was carried over from Earthen traditions, specifically in the western world from which the Germanic Star-Empire originated from.
And before long, Erika arrived at the end of the hallway, while wearing a beautiful white dress. Her hair was tied up into a ponytail, as it often was, while she held a bouquet of white roses in her hands.
The expression n Erika's face was one of mixed anxiety and excitement. She even blushed and averted her gaze to the Cameras which were displaying the entire event across the borders of the Empire for all of its citizens to witness.
With each step forward that the pink-haired beauty made, Erich and her hearts pounded louder and faster. Until finally she arrived in front of the man, face to face for the first time in this life. There was not an exchange of words, but everything the two of them needed to say to one another was conveyed with their eyes.
Erich did not even hear the words that the Supreme Leader spoke until Erich slightly nudged him into playing his part. Where Erich quickly remembered his simple line of "I do" before speaking it aloud.
Erika would follow suit once the Supreme Leader repeated the traditional vows back to her, where he then commanded the first couple to host a wedding ceremony within the Empire's borders in at least three centuries to conclude the act with a kiss.
"You may now kiss the bride."
Erich stepped forward and grabbed hold of Erika's dainty chin before kissing her luscious lips with a level of skill that she was not expecting. Nevertheless, she wrapped her arms around his neck and allowed her new husband to perform the deed.
And once their two tongues broke apart, along with their lips, the couple smiled before taking a bow in front of the audience. Where Erika then tossed the bouquet of white roses into the crowd. And just like that, Erich and Erika had gotten married for the second time in as many timelines.
Once the wedding ceremony was over, a giant reception was held on another floor of the Citadel. Where a feast of epic proportions unfolded. And while Erich was supposed to use this time to make powerful alliances with the leadership of the Germanic Star-Empire, he instead spent it getting to know his new wife. Who was an entirely different person than he had known in his previous life.
The two of them drank well into the night, speaking past the official declaration by the Supreme Leader that he would be stepping down from his position and retiring to Teutonia to live a peaceful life.
Instead, Erich and Erika eventually retired to their new penthouse, which existed at the top level of the Citadel. This was the official residence of the Supreme Leader. And their new home for the foreseeable future.
Unlike in their previous life, Erich and Erika spent their wedding night consummating their marriage in an intense display of passion. One that would leave Erika immediately pregnant. But the two fo them would not learn about that blessing for at least another month.
