The Herb King-Chapter 271 - Wedding

271 Wedding

“This is for you and Sir Eliazar. You can also bring more people if you want.” Aethelwolf said as he handed an invitation letter to Nocturna.

Nocturna took the letter and saw that it was an invitation to his wedding. She smiled and nodded her head. “We’ll find time for your wedding, Sir Aethelwolf.”

“Good. Farewell.” Aethelwolf chuckled before flying into the skies.

Nocturna stared at his figure with a complicated look on her face.

A few days later, a grand wedding was held in the newly created castle in Barden Territory. Visitors from all parts of the Leone Empire could be seen queuing to enter the castle. There were even some notable guests from all over the Regalis Continent present at the scene. Experts from big empires and major powers could also be seen chatting with their acquaintances.

The scale of the wedding was so big that the Lassiter Household had to station a large part of their army to maintain the safety of the guests. The Leone Imperial Family and their allies also sent their soldiers to assist them in monitoring the entire venue.

At this moment, everyone was only waiting for the bride and groom to arrive.

Soon, a servant announced the arrival of the bride, Samira Reynolds. She was escorted by her father, the family head of the Reynolds Household, Harold Reynolds. Behind them were the members of the Reynolds Household.

.....

The guests stared at the black-haired young woman who looked incredibly gorgeous in her wedding gown. This gown was designed by Aethelwolf using the style of the modern era so it looked elegant and beautiful. The noble women at the scene stared at her with jealousy. They all wished that they could have the same wedding dress as her. It was just too beautiful.

“I feel a bit nervous...” Samira muttered as she looked at the crowd. These people were the upper echelons of the Leone Empire and there were even top figures from the Regalis Continent. The power of their households was a lot stronger than their Reynolds Household and it made her feel that she was insignificant.

“Relax. You will soon become the wife of Sir Aethelwolf and the future Queen of Barden Territory. You must hold your head high and don’t let them see a sign of weakness.” Harolds whispered to his daughter, but in truth, he was also nervous in his heart. He was only a Level 4 Esper and many experts at the venue were stronger than him. Even his father would have to be careful not to offend those guys.

Samira took a deep breath after hearing her father’s words. “Yes, father.” She muttered as she lifted her head to look at the crowd with a confident smile.

“King Aethelwolf has arrived!” The servant announced in a booming voice.

Everyone turned their gazes at the entrance and saw a man with short black hair that was combed neatly. He looked sharp and domineering with his sword-like eyebrows and onyx eyes. Dressed in his modern suit, he looked like a prince charming and even the married women in the crowd felt their hearts stir as they looked at him.

“So handsome!”

“King Aethelwolf is so handsome!”

Some brave young ladies shouted excitedly as they looked at Aethelwolf.

Suddenly, three figures walked towards him and greeted him. “Sir Aethelwolf.”

“I’m happy to see you guys here.” Aethelwolf smiled at Nocturna. The two who came with her were Eliazar and Victor, the Holy Generals of the Mystic Island. They really gave him a lot of face this time. Usually, Mystic Island would only send a representative during such occasions, but they sent two Holy Generals and their heiress to Aethelwolf’s wedding.

“Congratulations, Sir Aethelwolf.” Eliazar smiled politely at him.

“Congratulations.” Victor nodded his head. He wasn’t close to Aethelwolf and he only came here to ensure Nocturna’s safety.

“Thanks. Follow me. I’ll take you guys to your seats. I have prepared a special spot for you.” Aethelwolf smiled and led the three to the most prominent seats in the venue. The people sitting here are all Level 5 Espers. One of them was General Gilbert Holt of the Zion Empire.

“Sir Aethelwolf!”

“Young Miss Nocturna!”

“Sir Victor!” Please visit fr𝗲𝚎w𝒆𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵel. c𝗼𝐦

“Sir Eliazar!”

General Gilbert and the other experts were surprised when they saw the people behind Aethelwolf. Who among them didn’t know about the important members of the Mystic Island?

“Just relax and enjoy the ceremony. I won’t stay here for long since the ceremony is about to start.” Aethelwolf smiled at them.

They watched him walk to the stage with mixed feelings. Some were looking at him with admiration, while a few stared at him with unreadable expressions.

The wedding ceremony began and the guests tactfully remained silent to respect the couple.

“Congratulations to the new couple!”

“Congratulations, King Aethelwolf!”

“Congratulations, Queen Samira!”

In the crowd, Julie Irish stared at Aethelwolf and Samira with complex emotions. Her eyes misted when she saw how happy they were.

Suddenly, she felt a warm hand patting her back.

“Sister, you just have to be patient. I believe in you. I know that King Aethelwolf also likes you. You can do it!” It was her sister, Grace Urgel, raising her spirits.

“I know.” Julie Irish forced out a smile as she held her sister’s hands.

After the wedding ceremony, a grand feast was held in the banquet hall. All sorts of delicacies from all over the Regalis Continent were served at every table. Servants dressed in waiter’s and maid’s uniforms roamed around the hall, distributing drinks to the guests.

At this moment, everyone started viewing the Reynolds Household differently. They were no longer just a minor noble family in the Leone Empire because they were now tightly related to the Lassiter Household, the family of King Aethelwolf.

Harold Reynolds and the other members of the Reynolds Household were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the people.

“Everyone is so eager to befriend us,” Harold muttered as he looked at his father, Julius Reynolds, who was smiling from ear to ear. This was the happiest he had seen his old man.
