Chapter 218: 218 Wedding (Part 1)_1

Translator: 549690339

May 15th, is the annual Resurrection Day of the Glorious Empire.

Legend has it that on this day, the Lord of Glory, who sacrificed himself for humanity, will resurrect and bring forth the final Judgment.

Those who believe in him, follow his teachings, and spread his glory will ascend to heaven, while those who are hypocritical, evil, and heretical will descend into hell.

Therefore, this day is also known as the Day of Judgment.

In the morning, Ice Rock City was serene and beautiful under the dawn light.

On such a beautiful day, the lord of this city would hold a grand wedding ceremony.

At exactly eight in the morning, the knights of the Angler family were already lined up in front of the church’s main entrance.

They wore full armor, draped in magnificent capes, holding their knight swords upright in front of them, their eyes steady, their expressions devout.

Behind the knights was the church choir, all dressed in white priestly robes, chanting hymns, and scattering purple irises in midair.

Dong? ?Dong? ?Dong

Amid the melodious and grand ringing of the bells, the church’s door slowly opened, revealing the faceless sculpture of the Lord of Glory inside the main hall, as if observing everything in front of him.

The first group of guests were the nobles from the Half-Elf Kingdom, who arrived in front of the church under the guidance of Duke Modewen.

Emon and Quincy, blushing, stood on either side of the entrances and greeted the guests with salutes.

The next ones to arrive were the lords from nearby Ice Rock City, with only nine people in total.

Perhaps the time was really tight and the more distant lords could not make it to the ceremony on time, or perhaps, Duke St. Hilde’s influence was not as strong as it used to be

When it was nine in the morning, Duke St. Hilde finally appeared.

The Northern Duke was dressed in a red Duke’s ceremonial dress today, his beard meticulously groomed, looking dignified and elegant.

The Duke’s presence signaled that it was almost time for the appearance of today’s groom and bride. But before they arrived, there came the large group of bridesmaids, all daughters of the northern nobles who came to attend the ceremony, uniformly dressed in duck yellow evening dresses and wearing colorful floral wreaths on their heads.

As for the groomsmen, there was only one? Baron Raymon.

He was the first knight to swear allegiance to Colin when he arrived in this world, and the first vassal he knighted with his own hands.

About eight hundred meters from the church, two horse-drawn carriages, each pulled by four tall horses, slowly drove towards the church, one after the other.

The groom of the day was, of course, sitting in the first carriage.

Colin wore a simple black ceremonial dress, a rose pinned on his chest, his expression somewhat thoughtful.

He was about to get married!

Before he transmigrated in his past life, he had not yet been married.

Although he had many girlfriends, he just couldn’t seem to take the final step.

Well, maybe it’s because in his previous life, he didn’t have a strong father-in-law like Duke St. Hilde

While Colin was lost in his thoughts, the carriage arrived in front of the church.

Baron Raymon came forward to open the carriage door and helped Colin down.

After Colin got down, he couldn’t help but look back at the carriage behind him. Vera was in it, but of course, he couldn’t see anything right now.

“Viscount, please!” Baron Raymon reminded him hastily, thinking Colin might have forgotten the procedures.

Colin smiled and then followed Raymon into the church.

As he crossed the threshold of the church’s entrance and stepped onto the long red carpet, the wedding march began to play.

At this time, Duke St. Hilde came to the carriage behind and opened the door.

Today’s star, the beautifully dressed Vera, finally appeared in everyone’s sight.

She wore a white veil and an ivory silk woven wedding dress, the five-meter-long train extending in a layered lace gradient, and the silver crystals on the hem formed a beautiful arc.

Purple iris flowers and shining diamonds adorned the upper and lower layers of the wedding dress. The intricate yet simple design blended to create the perfect mix of understated luxury.

The beautiful curve of her bodice accentuated her slender waist, delicate shoulders half-exposed. A pure-colored emerald on her chest radiated a mysterious halo. The matching gemstone earring in her ear swayed with her movements. What was slightly unusual was that Vera had only one earring in; the other ear was bare.

However, few in the room noticed this detail, as most of them were already enchanted by the angelic girl.

Her skin, as white as milk, looked even more delicate against her ivory-colored wedding dress. A pair of jade-like hands, covered in white lace gloves, were gently placed on Duke St. Hilde’s arm as they slowly strolled towards the church door.

As she walked, her long beautiful legs, tightly wrapped in white strap-on stockings were faintly visible, and her beige high heels, decorated with fragments of diamonds, shone with a crystal glow.

Around her cute and fair ankles, two thin platinum diamond chains were tied, adding more charming details to the sexy lines of her legs.

With the sound of the music, Duke St. Hilde, holding Vera’s hand, walked along the red carpet into the magnificent nave of the church.

When he came to Colin, Duke St. Hilde saw the young, majestic face and a hint of emotion and nostalgia flashed across his own face. He stopped walking, turned around and said to Vera, who was dressed in splendid attire:

“Daughter, your father will leave you at this point.”

Vera looked at the Duke without saying anything.

A thin veil could not completely hide her expression, but the Duke could not discern any reluctance from it.

He silently sighed and finally placed Vera’s hand into Colin’s, then turned around and walked off the stage.

The hall immediately erupted into warm applause, but such liveliness only made Duke St. Hilde’s retreating figure appear lonelier.

With both his eldest and second sons having passed away, his brother defeated and captured in battle, his sister married off long time ago, and now Vera leaving him as well, Duke St. Hilde, the Lord of the North Territory, seemed about to become a lonely man.

Colin’s gaze lingered on the Duke’s retreating figure for a few seconds before he quickly retracted it. He felt the Duke’s solitude, but it did not evoke any pity in him.

Those who bring calamity upon themselves deserve no sympathy.

A tall, skinny middle-aged man in a white priest’s robe walked between Colin and Vera. His name was Pers, the new bishop of Ice Rock City following the departure of the retired Archbishop.

Bishop Pers’s gentle voice echoed: “Colin Angler, whether in poverty, sickness, troubles, pain, wealth, health, happiness, are you willing to never leave Vera St. Hilde and protect her for eternity?” ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

“I am willing,” Colin pledged sincerely, looking into Vera’s eyes.

“Vera St. Hilde, whether in poverty, sickness ?are you willing to never leave Colin Angler and accompany him for eternity?”

“I am willing,” Tears sparkled in Vera’s eyes as she seriously made her vow.

“In the name of the Lord of Glory, I hereby declare you husband and wife! May the Lord’s Glory illuminating your future path! Now, the bride and groom may exchange rings.”

A boy around four or five years old ran up to present the ring box to the couple.

Yet, Colin did not reach for the ring box. Instead, he took out a blue sapphire earring from the pocket of his chest.

Upon seeing the earring, Vera could no longer control her emotions. Tears began to slide down her cheeks amid a whirl of emotions.

Colin gently smiled, lifted Vera’s veil, carefully wiped her tears, and then put the earring on her.

The spectators were somewhat puzzled as there was no such part in the wedding procedure.

However, this little ritual, solely for Colin and Vera, was the real testament to their love.

The battle by the Ben Liu River, the life-saving sacrifices, it all resurfaced in their minds, as if it had happened only yesterday.

Bishop Pers cleared his throat, reminding the couple not to forget the proper wedding procedure.

Fortunately, Colin did not want to deviate too radically. After putting on Vera’s earring, he picked up the ring box and put the rings on each other’s fingers.

Only then did Bishop Pers breathe a sigh of relief. His job seemed finally complete. He announced loudly: “Now, the groom may kiss the bride!”

Upon hearing the words, Vera immediately closed her eyes, stood on her toes, and leaned her body forward.

Colin was momentarily nervous.

But gazing at the pretty face that was so close to him, he finally stepped forward and placed a kiss on her cherry-red lips.

So sweet.
