Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

June 1, 1021 in the main calendar.

The city of Meen, which is approaching noon, is already a lively scene. Both the inner castle and the outer city are immersed in the joy of the lord’s wedding. Listening to the noise outside, they are still in the room. Richard, who was assisted by the maid in dressing, was very awake. It is no exaggeration to say that he hardly fell asleep last night.

This is the first wedding in his life. I believe this is the last time. When he thinks that he will get married on 2nd day, he is so nervous and excited that he can’t sleep. He toss and turns in bed until there may be four or five. I can sleep when I order.

While allowing the maid to wear dresses and accessories for himself, Richard listened to the report by Daniel Taylor. The young trainee Knight also put on an exquisite robe with his face With the joy of Richard’s marriage, he also fluently reported to Richard the list of noble guests who entered the inner castle from the outer city and the gifts they gave.

Maybe to please the Duke of Valantia, or maybe to have a good relationship with the promising Richard, the noble guests who came to participate in the wedding have prepared valuable gifts, such as Thomas Prince, on behalf of the king, brought Richard a thousand gold coins as gifts. In addition to the genuine coins, there were ornaments and statues made of pure gold.

While listening, Richard is thinking about it in his heart. After the wedding is over, he can make a few more five consecutive draws to see if he has escaped into Asia.

……

At noon, ritual music played inside and outside the inner castle, the gate of the Castle Lord building inside was slowly opened, and the fully armed Valandia soldiers replaced them. With uniform armor and long halberd, under the guidance of the centurions, they stepped neatly and stood on both sides of the red carpet on the ground. They clenched the long halberd with both hands, and the halberd stood upright. Looking straight ahead blankly, like a green pine standing proudly one after another.

Under the gaze of the Vallandia soldiers, the Seal Minister Jacob led the noble guests present into the main fort hall, standing behind the Vallandia soldiers in two groups , They talked to each other, talking about the two protagonists of today’s wedding.

The entire main fort hall is almost a vast crowd. In addition to the nobles, representatives from all walks of life selected from Mein City also participated. After the ritual music outside stopped, the military band in the venue also The traditional Touraine music began to play with a brisk rhythm. Then, under the gaze of people, Richard and the equally dressed but gorgeous Teresa appeared outside the main castle gate accompanied by their parents, and they slowly stepped onto the gate. On the fresh red carpet, there are virgin boys and girls of the same age in front and behind them.

On this extraordinary day, Richard’s mother was also specially dressed up. She took Richard’s arm and walked to the left. The Duke of Olsson also wore an expensive patriarch inlaid with a lot of jewels. Robe took Teresa’s arm and walked on the right side, and the two newcomers walked slowly, accompanied by their parents.

Before them, two pairs of handsome-faced boys and girls dressed in the same dress, the two in front of them were holding flower baskets, and while moving forward, they picked up the petals in the flower basket and threw them in the air. The latter two were one person. Holding the still burning candle, one person is holding a tray with delicate rings.

Behind Teresa, two fifteen-year-old girls each held a corner of the bride’s white dress. They were in the same step and did not let the white dress drag on the ground. Although the children in front of and behind the newcomer are not old, they are all generous and not stage fright.

“Raise the halberd, salute!”

After they walked slowly into the venue, they heard the shout of the officer holding the long sword at both ends of the guard, Varandi The Asian soldiers all raised the long halberd in their hands, and the long halberd collided and crossed with the long halberd set up by the opposing comrades in midair, making a sharp sound, allowing the newcomer to pass under the long halberd.

Walking on this bright red carpet, facing the countless gaze of all directions, Richard only felt a surge of tension in his heart, which made him have an urge to turn and run away. This tension is different from before the war, but More than the feeling before the war.

Richard’s peripheral glance glanced at Teresa on his right. The latter’s face was covered by a thin veil, making it difficult to see the expression on her face, even though In this way, from her subtle and imperceptible tremor, Richard could still see that she was as nervous as himself.

At this moment, Richard felt the strength of holding his left arm suddenly increased, and the tension in his heart quickly receded. He didn’t know what magic it was. He only knew that his mother was there. Beside.

At the end of the red carpet, Siphos, who was wearing a solemn bishop black robe, taught Niang to lead bishop Opala quietly watching the newcomers approaching him. After Niang was regained , He was appointed as the bishop in this area by the Pope far outside the West Guinness Peninsula. Although he became a regional bishop, he can only stay in the small church in Niang.

Now, according to the tradition of Touraine Kingdom, as a bishop, he must preside over the wedding ceremony for the nobles when they get married. This is not only to close the relationship with the Earl of Mein, but also to increase the Religious influence in Enling—Although it has become the territory of Touraine Kingdom, the influence of Xiu Xun Buddhism has not receded.

Finally, under the gaze of countless people, Richard and Teresa walked to the Opala bishop. When they reached the end of the red carpet, Richard’s mother, Mrs. Margaret and Special Reza’s father, Duke Olsson, released their hands and sat on both sides of the red carpet to watch the next process.

“Brother sisters beloved by God, we are gathered here today to witness the bridegroom Richard Vareen and the bride Teresa Lelis in the presence of God and all witnesses. , Into the sacred marriage contract that cannot be violated. This marriage contract is blessed and managed by our beloved God, and it is also the most sacred marriage contract among the world…”

With Opala The peaceful voice of bishop sounded in the venue, and all the voices stopped unconsciously. Everyone was breathing and quietly listening to the words from the bishop in the region.

After Opala bishop finished his line, under the gaze of everyone, the girl with the ring in her hand walked to the two newcomers, Richard and Teresa each picked up one They looked at each other for the ring made of sterling silver, and tacitly put the ring on the ring finger of each other’s right hand.

At the moment the ring was put on, there was a gust of wind and shower of applause and cheers in the venue. In this noisy sound, Richard took the initiative to hold Teresa’s hand, and the two Turn around to greet the guests together and accept their cheers and blessings.
