103. Chapter 103
There are several very important moments in the life of the Samuel royal family.
Birth, Adulthood, Engagement, Marriage, Death...... If it is the crown prince, there will be a time to ascend the throne, and it will be glorious.
In these important moments, birth and death are not "experienced" by yourself, but other times, you can personally feel the excitement and joy of important changes in the trajectory of life.
Unlike ordinary people's engagements, the royal family's engagement ceremonies are very formal, with various ritual specifications and processes almost the same as marriage ceremonies, and oaths and blessings are taken in the Temple of Light.
This is because the royal family is very strict in making a marriage contract, and it will not be lightly engaged until it is confirmed, and once it is confirmed, it is basically a "one-shot deal".
There are only a handful of royal families in Samu's history who have changed their fiancΓ©es (husbands), and most of them are unable to fulfill their marriage contracts because one of them unfortunately passed away.
Generally speaking, the official age of marriage of the Samuel royal family is about 21 years old, that is, after completing school, there is a meaning of starting a family.
The age of engagement can be early or late.
Those who may be under the age of 16 may be young, such as Steven III, who built the Selentu Palace for his beloved wife, and Queen Leona, who was his childhood sweetheart, signed a marriage contract at the age of twelve; And later ones like Beckwell the Great and Prince Salvin, who were engaged almost after graduation, so the two ceremonies were directly combined into one.
For the people, having an excellent crown prince will naturally care about his public status, and the marriage of His Royal Highness the prince is the top priority for them.
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Kyle, who had just led Samuel's team to win the Seven Schools United Championship, suddenly announced his engagement without any known scandal without warning, which simply caught the whole empire off guard!
And it's the same time that the Carter Empire sent the princess over as an exchange student - how can people not think about it?
But what makes everyone even more curious is that the object of His Royal Highness the Prince's engagement, who is sacred?!
So the name Alan Adrington once again resounded in the Samuel Empire......
"How many times has this name come up this year?"
"Anyway, a lot! And it's getting more sensational every time! It's almost time to dominate the screen! β
"To be honest, just look at this Alan Adrington's family background, it's not bad, born a big nobleman, and his mother family is the Duke of Tang in the Fifth Star District...... Looking at the entire empire, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a few such identities. β
"Not to mention, his teacher was still the High Priest Elijah! I have just passed the qualification...... Tsk, a 17-year-old intermediate pharmacist, is really famous. β
"Eh, do you think it's because of the previous competition, he competed in place of His Highness Villanica, and got along with His Highness Kyle day and night, and fell in love for a long time...... Hey, could it be that the two of them got along a long time ago, so he replaced the eldest princess! β
"If that's the case, it's so hidden! However, some students from the Royal Academy broke the news, saying that they had a very close relationship, and they didn't deliberately avoid suspicion, but everyone didn't think about it. β
"In this way, Carter sent a princess as an exchange student, which is a waste of effort......"
"Not really...... Maybe there's another possibility...... We Samuel don't want to marry Carter at all, so hurry up and find someone to come out and fill the number! β
"What are you going to do here? You can also fill up several columns! Is it a casual joke that the High Priest is going to officiate at the Temple of Light in Abner for them?! β
"The end of August is coming soon, and it will be a great time! We must go over as soon as possible and strive to occupy a good position, His Highness's carriage is usually to stop at the foot of Mount Abuna for a while, and when the bride arrives, he will set off to the temple, and there will be a parade after that, which must be very lively! β
"That's a good dare, you can see with your own eyes, whether our princess has three heads and six arms......"
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Not only the public, but also the media across the country are paying close attention to this quasi-"princess".
It's a pity that after entering July, the quasi-"princess" went back and forth between the Serentu Palace and the Temple of Abuna, and was escorted by the royal family's personal guards and the knights of the Holy See, not to mention interviewing him, it was difficult to even take a photo!
The media couldn't find him, so they resorted to a roundabout tactic to find Alan Adrington's relatives and friends.
However, the recent Adrington Manor has been unusually low-key, and the whole family has not been shut down, and even other relatives have not been contacted for the time being.
The two best friends of the prospective "princess" during her time at school, one of whom was a nobleman, did not show up and was difficult to approach; A powerless civilian, but he was taken to Adrington Manor early, called to cool off, but in fact to protect ......
In short, it is difficult to find the closest person to Alan Adrington for a while, and he can come out to chat and break the news!
At this time, His Royal Highness Kyle and his prospective fiancΓ© Alan were listening to the etiquette teacher in the Selentu Palace to introduce the entire engagement ceremony process in detail, as well as the matters that need attention.
Even Kyle listened to the other party's descriptions one by one, and had to admit that it would be a very hard day for them!
β¦β¦
Since this was a very important matter, Salvin personally came to pick up the little tiger and the baby panda, leaving the little husband and wife here to "work hard" without being disturbed.
Little Tiger has always had a hard time choosing between his favorite father and his favorite Alan.
However, Prince Salvin has been busy recently because of all his official and private affairs, and it is rare to come over once, and the little tiger hesitated for a moment, but was honestly carried away by his father.
Prince Salvin is worthy of being a former marshal, a great mecha warrior! He was holding a little chubby dun in one hand, but he didn't have any difficulty at all, and walked from the prince's bedroom to his own bedroom, without even panting.
Beckwell the Great was waiting for them in the living room of the prince's bedchamber, and when he saw the two little ones in Prince Salvin's arms, his eyes lit up!
He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hug the little tiger, but the little son was too faceless, and his little head twisted, not looking at him at all.
The baby panda has just arrived, and he is not familiar with anything, and in the face of the tall and handsome middle-aged uncle in front of him, who seems to be very kind (fog) when he laughs, he did not show the slightest fear, and the other party reached out to hug himself "self-familiar", and it did not refuse.
So the white and tender baby fell into the "clutches" of Beckwell the Great, oh no, it was in his arms, which caused the little tiger who didn't want to look here to tilt his head slightly, and showed a vague expression of "asking for more blessings" to the smirking baby......
In fact, before the baby reached the hands of Beckwell the Great for two minutes, he was kissed on the face, pinched on the little arms and short legs, and touched the little butt - in short, unconsciously, the other party took advantage of it.
Prince Salvin couldn't stand his partner's appearance of a "disciple", so he summoned the family machine and spread a chess game on the carpet.
For the two little guys, this board game is the first time to play, although it is not very difficult, but the rules are a little unfamiliar at first, so at first it is not easy to play.
But sometimes luck is more important than strength!
The baby panda quickly caught up with and overtook Beckwell the Great, and by the way sent his "plane" back to the tarmac - it was revenge for being beaten by a "groping pig".
In the end, Beckwell the Great, who was "encircled and suppressed" by the three parties and fell last, really lost, and was punished to sit aside and watch them eat fruit.
Although the baby panda has a new image, its teeth are still as good, a bright red apple in the mouth, you can gnaw it happily, Prince Salvin wanted to help it cut into slices, but before he came to his senses, the apple had already entered the baby's belly!
Emperor Beckwell looked at the healthy baby rarely, and couldn't help but say, "When our Vincent can also gnaw apples like this, he will definitely be able to eat faster!" β
The little tiger raised his eyes and glanced at him, but didn't pay attention to it - his father's attention was attracted by the tweet today, which is good! Whew!
It didn't know how much the emperor hoped in his heart at the moment that the little guy would grow up quickly, even if he could nibble on an apple, it would be good!
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Over the next few days, Kyle and Allen memorized the etiquette and procedures, tried on the forty dresses that were initially decided, and selected the twelve that were finally decided......
Time passed day by day in a busy way, and the day of the engagement ceremony finally arrived.
According to the custom, Alan had to return to his "mother's house" first, so the Tang children accompanied him back to live in Adrington Manor.
Uncle Rolf takes a leave of absence from the Legion to play an important role in the ceremony - the father who sends Eren to Kyle's side.
The next day it was sunny and the weather was nice.
Rolf looked at Allen in a dress in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion, but his face was not obvious, he just said calmly: "Let's go." So he got into the richly decorated carriage with Allen.
The closer you get to the junction of Abner to the top of the mountain, the more you can hear the sound of people, knowing that many people line up here before dawn to occupy seats, just to see the prince and his wife for the first time.
The people in the front row had already boiled once before seeing Kyle's carriage arrive, and this time they saw the carriage of the "princess" again, and they cheered and applauded.
Rolf was silent all the way, but when the car door opened, he suddenly said, "Child, I wish you happiness." β
In the face of the noise of the outside world, Alan was still a little nervous, but now after hearing his uncle's words, he inexplicably calmed down - probably because he knew that his family would always be with him, bless him, and love him!
Due to their tight schedules, Kyle and Alan didn't stay too long here, and took the same carriage to the Temple of Abner.
Elijah officiated at the most important part of their engagement ceremony at the main temple β the exchange of vows and engagement rings, and the acceptance of blessings.
The two young men stand staring at each other, seeing only themselves in each other's eyes, and the moment Eren puts on his engagement ring for Kyle, they hear the sound of singing......
