Chapter 449: Secret Wedding 3

Dang Dang Dang!

Flap flap!

A peaceful morning with bells ringing and pigeons flying .

A few people were gathered at the entrance of a small church located near a street .

There was a woman in a pure white gown, a veil, and a dozen people behind her .

There were the Rakan Knights in the grounds, which made people passing by wonder .

“What is it? A wedding?”

“That can’t be . There seem to be no guests at all . ”

“Even then, that doesn’t seem to be a regular wedding gown, maybe a wedding of a noble family who didn’t accept their union . ”

“Then, are they the notaries?”

Among the guest, there were a few with unusual looks .

One was a young man with a Southern Continent impression with strong muscles and an elderly knight in red armor with a white hair .

However, the most impressive one of them was the grey-haired man standing with the help of a cane .

Contrary to the old appearance, the man was releasing tremendous energy .

“That man, he isn’t someone to mess with, right?”

“Yes, he must have been a knight with great skill . He seems a lot stronger than the man in the red armor…”

Thud!

All of a sudden, the knight in red struck his sword to the ground .

As if a Gigant had stepped into the grounds, the people who were in the area shook, and the glass windows around the temple shook .

As a result, the complexion of the men turned white .

“Maybe he is strong too?”

“Let’s, let’s get out of here . He must have heard what we said . ”

Belik was the one in the red armor, however, he didn’t turn his attention to the fleeing boys .

There was a reason why he was staying there .

“What are you doing?”

“Get yourself together . There isn’t much time left, don’t you realize that?”

When Belik turned angry, Pavel and Victor tried to calm him up .

“No matter what, it is the princess… well, to make the Pope wait!”

“Huhu! Shh! What if others hear it?!”

Luke and Reina’s wedding was being held in secret .

So, deliberately, a magic illusion was placed on the face of the guests to prevent the general public from recognizing them .

Although it had been preached that the El Kassel denomination that priests shouldn’t be married, it was a custom that many had followed, every high priest had remained single .

And such customs weren’t embedded not only in the priests and nobles but also common people .

As a result, the alliance between the Symphonia Kingdom and the Holy Arthenia Empire, which a few nobles discussed in the crowning ceremony was extremely unlikely .

If there was any indication that it would happen, they were most likely to oppose it at home and abroad, and both nations were likely to face political criticism .

Luke and Reina didn’t want their marriage to happen between disputes and complications .

Luke continued to develop strength and forces and wanted to wait until he was strong enough to crush any opposition, however, Reina was different .

She didn’t want to wait till one of them was strong, she just wanted the both of them to meet .

And that was, it would stop the competitors to go after Luke, and it would soothe their hearts .

“There is no change of heart, right?”

“There can’t be . Let’s just wait a little longer . ”

Reina stopped Belik’s attempt to spoil the mood of the occasion .

Though she hadn’t said it out loud, she wondered if Luke wasn’t going to make it to the wedding .

‘Did something bad happen?’

Since it was the early stages of the kingdom, anything could have happened .

It was when she was lost in thoughts as such .

“Your Majesty is coming . ”

Luke appeared with Philip’s cry .

A large bouquet of flowers in one hand and the other on the reins of the horse .

“What are you doing making us wait?”

At Belik’s scream, Luke smiled .

“I remembered something which had to be done before the wedding . ”

“What is there to do before the wedding?”

While everyone was wondering, Luke approached Reina and bent on his knee and offered her the bouquet .

“Reina, I am here now because I met you and walked the same path as you . ”

Luke, who spoke gentle words kissed the back of her hand .

“I want to walk for the rest of my life with you . As a companion, I want to stay beside you and face how many difficulties we will have on the road we choose . ”

“Luke…”

What Luke said, about something which had to be done before a wedding .

The proposal, something which was very popular among the young people of the current days .

Hearing about it from his escort knights, Luke went and prepared a bouquet and wrote his vows for the wedding .

“Will you join me?”

Reina looked into Luke’s desperate eyes and nodded with a smile .

“Yes, I will stand with you forever . ”

When Reina accepted his proposal, Luke smiled turned wider, and hugged her .

While everyone was watching it with a gleaming face, Maron coughed .

“Well, shouldn’t we head up and get to the main act?”

“Yes, to proceed and get the thing done, quickly!”

Belik pushed them into the church .

If Luke and Reina were married, he wouldn’t just be the father of the Symphonia King but also the father-in-law of the Holy Empire’s Pope .

Luke and Reina, who were pushed by the ambitious men around them, were ready to have the wedding under Maron .

“Marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman which is taken before the God . Living a satisfying life, with mutual trust and effort for themselves and the other half… and that is love and happiness . ”

Maron went through the rites and quotes from the past .

After his words were done, which were too short or long, he moved onto the wedding vows .

“Does the bride swear before the God that she will respect and love Luke de Rakan as her husband this moment?”

“Yes, I do . ”

“Does the groom swear before the God that he will be married to Reina Petrov Kirillov forever, and fulfill his duties as her companion forever?”

“Yes, I swear on my soul!”

Both Luke and Reina pledged their vows and put on the wedding rings on their partner .

Wooong!

As if their hearts beat to the same rhythm, the wedding rings shone brightly .

“With this, I declare the two of you to be married!”

At the end of the Maron’s words, the guests rose from their seats and applauded to the newlyweds .

Luke and Reina, who were happy, kissed .

There was still a long way they had to go, but at that moment, there was no one as happy as those two .

“We were shot down in point range . ”

“Yes . I realized that she was an angel… but she gently knows when to move . ”

To the other wall of the castle overlooking the church, two women had bitter faces .

Zegal Soha and Erwin were having a conversation .

A few moments ago they heard that Luke and Reina were getting married, however, no matter how quick they were, they couldn’t see the wedding, so they stayed at a distance .

Reina had asked both of them to stay by Luke’s side .

The women were eager to take over Luke’s heart with her permission .

But, Reina was having a wedding!

In a way, it could be said that they were fooled, however, they couldn’t blame Reina .

It was because they were willing to betray her too .

And if they thought about it, she was someone who was well suited to be Luke’s companion .

‘Even then, I didn’t want to lose . ’

‘She really suits well with him . ’

The two of them were looking at the church .

Creak!

It was alright for Reina, but the two women stood there not moving .

It wasn’t strange if a storm came over, however, Erwin and Zegal Soha smiled .

“I think we need to have an alliance . ”

“Yes . And just like this the grace, well, His Majesty’s heart was always tough to get . ”

Till then, they were very wary of each other .

However, in the future, it seemed like they didn’t have to be so spiteful of the other .

In order to divert Luke’s attention from Reina, it was necessary for them to join forces .

‘Moreover, this wedding is being kept secret . ’

‘Officially, His Majesty is still single . ’

The throne of the queen was still empty .

In other words, any kind of political marriage could come for Luke .

The two women, who were struggling with Reina, didn’t want any new enemies to enter their lives .

That was why an alliance was created .

‘I’ll endure until I get his heart . ’

‘After getting His Majesty’s heart, I need to chase after this elf woman right away!’

The two women, who were hiding their intentions, smiled brightly for a new tomorrow .
