Old Count Esmerda turned around, bowed slightly to the place where Emperor Eric was, and saluted slightly to show his obedience, before turning around and saying, "In the name of the Holy Father, I declare that from this moment on, Ivan Finch, the Grand Duke of the Protoss Council, and Ivan Finch, the king of the Raphaels, --- King Ivan, will enter into a marriage contract with Wen Ying, the first dragon lord of the human race, and become husband and wife until the marriage contract is dissolved or one person dies. ”

The old Count of Esmeida said to the people, "Are you all willing to bear witness to their marriage?" At this moment, although her voice was delicate, she used divine power and spread to every corner of the hall.

Then, Wen Ying heard a thunderous and neat voice: "Yes."

When the hall was quiet, the old Count Esmerda said to them, "Ivan Finch, Wen Ying, I have witnessed your marriage, and I am very pleased to announce to all of you present that you are husband and wife, and now the bridegroom can kiss the bride."

Wen Ying stood in a daze, her body stiff, her hands hanging at her sides, and she grabbed the skirt of the snow-white wedding dress fiercely. She remained motionless, allowing Grand Duke Ivan to take her into his arms, bow her head, and kiss her on the lips.

At this time, a demon maid in a long cyan dress, holding a delicate small flower basket, walked gently to the side of Grand Duke Ivan.

The kiss of Grand Duke Ivan was gentle and lingering. After a while, the kiss ended, and Grand Duke Ivan let go of Wen Ying.

"Honorable Grand Duke Ivan, do you want a love flower?" Old Count Esmeida did justice to Ivan, and his voice was delicate.

Grand Duke Ivan's cold expression suddenly had a hint of tenderness, and he only said one word: "Yes." ”

"Dear Grand Duchess, Queen of the Raphael, Grand Duke Ivan wants to insert love flowers into your black hair, I wonder if you are willing?" The old Earl of Esmeida said to Wen Yingjiao.

Grand Duke Ivan and Wen Ying have signed a marriage contract, Wen Ying's identity has immediately become noble, and the old Count Esmerda's address to Wen Ying has changed from the dragon lord to the grand duchess and queen, and also uses the honorific "you".

Wen Ying knew the meaning of this sentence, which was a question in which the witness, on behalf of the groom, asked the bride if she was willing to take an oath of loyalty.

In the kingdom of heaven, the love flower is a symbol of love and loyalty. On the top of a flower pedicle, there are two flowers, one pink and one pale green, symbolizing the bride and groom, the husband and wife, the man and the woman. Even if the love flower withers, the petals will not fall, and the two flowers will not separate. Therefore, the love flower has become a symbol of the oath of loyalty between the men and women of the gods. Once the woman nods in agreement and the man inserts the flower into the woman's hair, the two make a vow of loyalty - monogamy, in the words of the earthlings. Once one party disobeys, the other party can directly kill the betrayer. The oath of allegiance does not need to be premised on marriage. For young men and women who are not married, it is also possible to make a vow of loyalty to each other before marriage. This means that married couples may not make a vow of loyalty, but men and women who have made a vow of loyalty to each other will definitely get married, otherwise, there is only one way to die.

Wen Ying's expression was a little dazed, her eyes were confused, and she didn't seem to hear the words of the old Count Esmeida, nor did she hear the answer of the Grand Duke Ivan. Because at this moment, what she heard in her ears was the hoarse voice of the old Earl Hu Kaili not far from her: "Honorable Grand Duke Litus, do you want love?" ”

Wen Ying felt her heart beat faster, her heart pounding in her chest like a deer, she pricked up her ears and listened, she wanted to hear Archduke Littles' answer.

"These love flowers, where they come from, go back." Grand Duke Littles' voice sounded, very calm and clear, enough for Wen Ying to hear.

Then, Wen Ying saw that in the sky, a piece of silver butterflies flew up one after another. Under a closer look, each butterfly's silver wings are made of silver runes, and each pair of silver wings, holding a love flower, flew high into the air, flying farther and farther, and soon disappeared and could not be seen.

"Grand Duchess!" Old Count Esmerda's voice raised slightly.

Wen Ying woke up like a dream and said, "Old Earl, what did you say?" ”

"Dear Grand Duchess, Queen of the Raphael, Grand Duke Ivan wants to insert love flowers into your black hair, I wonder if you are willing?" Old Count Esmeida resumed his delicate tone, and did not seem to be in the slightest irritated.

Wen Ying's expression changed, and she sensed an extremely strong emotion of terror, which was the emotion from the little golden dragon. Wen Ying and the little golden dragon have a heart, just as when she called out to the little golden dragon in the Silver Lily Castle of Yule Island, the little golden dragon could sense it even in the black castle in the distant continent of Emeriken. At this moment, Wen Ying sensed that the little golden dragon was calling her, calling her to save him-the little golden dragon was in danger!

Wen Ying's face turned pale, and she said in a low voice, "I am willing." His voice trembled.

One of Grand Duke Ivan's hands reached out to the flower basket in the hand of the demon maid beside him, took out a love flower, and inserted it into the braided flowers on Wen Ying's temples. Then the second flower, the third flower...... Soon, Wen Ying wore a wreath woven from love flowers on the top of her head.

"At this moment, Grand Duke Ivan and Grand Duchess Wen Ying have made an oath of loyalty." The old Count Esmeida said to Ivan: "Ivan Finch, from now on, you can only love Wen Ying alone, your body, your heart, belongs to her alone, no matter when, where, no matter what happens, you love her, take care of her, respect her, accept her, and always be loyal to her until ten thousand years, until the end of her life?"

In saying this, the old Count Esmeida did not use honorifics, because it was speaking in the name of the Holy Father.

Grand Duke Ivan faced Wen Ying, took her right hand, and said: "In the name of the Divine Light Source, under the gaze of the Divine Father, I solemnly swear that from now on, you will be my only love, and from now on, at any time, where, and whatever happens, I will love you and cherish you until death."

"Wen Ying, from this moment on, you can only love Ivan Fincher alone, your body, your heart, belongs to him alone, no matter when, no matter where, no matter what happens, you will love him, take care of him, respect him, accept him, and always be loyal to him until ten thousand years, until the end of his life?"

Wen Ying looked at Grand Duke Ivan blankly, and then, Wen Ying found that her hand, which was actually uncontrollable, seemed to have another invisible hand, pulled her hand up, and let her hand pull up the right hand of Grand Duke Ivan opposite.

Silent.

After a while, Wen Ying said: "In the name of the Divine Light Source, under the gaze of the Divine Heavenly Father, I solemnly swear that from now on, you will become my only love, and from now on, no matter when, where, no matter what happens, I will love you and cherish you until death." ”

"Holy Light Source, Holy Father, the ring will represent the binding of the vows they have made." The old Count Esmeida said, "Please restrain each other. ”

Another demon maid in a light blue dress was already standing on the other side of Grand Duke Ivan and Wen Ying. She held a snow-white crystal tray in both hands. In the tray, on the red velvet, are two silver rings. On the setting of the ring is a large diamond. The inner ring of the ring is marked with a string of celestial handwriting, a sentence, which reads: Ivan Fincher and Wen Ying, love each other and are loyal to death.

Grand Duke Ivan picked up a ring with a smaller ring, put the ring on Wen Ying's left ring finger, and said, "I give you this ring that represents a symbol of love and loyalty, and I take my vow to protect it with my life." There was tenderness in his cold voice.

Wen Ying picked up the remaining ring, put it on the ring finger of Grand Duke Ivan's left hand, and said, "I will give you this ring that represents a symbol of love and loyalty--- After a pause, Wen Ying continued with a trembling voice: "With my life, protect my vow." ”

The old Count of Esmeida said to the people again, "Will you all bear witness to their oath of loyalty?" The second time, Wen Ying heard a thunderous and neat voice: "Yes."

The old Count of Esmeida took the hands of Wen Ying and Grand Duke Ivan, and said with a coquettish smile: "The Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess swore to each other and accepted the ring. In the name of the Divine Light, I declare you to be each other's only lovers, and no one shall be separated. ”

Then, a uniform thunderous sound sounded in the hall, and Wen Ying felt deafening: "The divine light source is everywhere, all the time. Almighty God Father is watching your every word and ...... and deeds."

Wen Ying only felt that her mind was blank, and she felt that she was being tightly embraced by Grand Duke Ivan.

"You are mine, your people are mine, your heart is mine, and always will be." Grand Duke Ivan's voice was unusually gentle: "My people are yours, and my heart is yours until the moment of my death." ”

On the nine-story palace, Alice was wearing a purple long dress, elegantly sitting on a snow-white crystal throne, she looked at the wedding in front of her with a cold expression, her green eyes, staring in the direction where Wen Ying was, her gaze was extremely cold.
