On the wedding day of the King of England, Hereward also arrived in London, where the moorland Sein finally retrieved his wife from across the Channel and arrived at Alder Gate under the guard of the imposing Martin "Scud".

His wife, Lady Turfida, came to the country for the first time, from the deep woods of Peterborough to the king's capital, and was pleasantly amused by the tall Tower of London, the ferry port of Ethelred where ships frew, and the ruins of the king's hall in ancient Mercia. The city has regained its former life, and the streets are full of Englishmen with the same blue-grey eyes as her husband.

"Now let's find something to eat, how about herring and eggs, Lord Hereward?" Martin exclaimed.

"If you don't keep this mouth shut, I'll throw you here so that you can't see the king's wedding." Hereward also seemed to be in high spirits, casually joking with his squire.

When they saw the tall stone walls of Westminster, Martin couldn't help but comment: "What a white tower, these stones must have been carved out of the mountains by giants." ”

Hereward had little affection for the building, as it was built by King Edward, who had exiled him and was his enemy in his youth. On this occasion, of course, he did not mention this, but told Martin to hand over the horses to the king's stablemen, and then led the attendants into the church.

By this time, the king had not yet arrived, and only some nobles were talking to each other, and Heriward soon found Hughard in the crowd, the northern Cyne who had followed the Earl of Walcioff to York after the death of the Earl of Benicia, who had last seen him before the great battle of St. Albans.

"Your Excellency, are you here too?" Hughard Barn took the initiative to greet the new Lincolnshire Governor.

Hereward introduced his wife a little, and then began to ask about the North.

"Nothing new, just a few battles near the Humber River, and tidying up the Chris of the Sebrande family." This Northumbria Sein replied casually.

"Have you come to London to see the King?" Hereward asked.

"Yesterday I followed Lord Vorsiov to the Tower to see Your Majesty." Hughed looked left and right, then approached Hereward and whispered, "After this wedding, we may have to prepare to call up the militia." ”

"What, will there be a war this year?" The Lord of Lincolnshire wondered if this wedding was just about peace.

"I don't know, I heard that the cause of this incident is still Flanders." Hughed doesn't seem to know much about why.

Hereward was well acquainted with the situation in Flanders, having served the Count of Flanders for a long time, and knew the situation of the old lord very well. He understood the source of the crisis after a little thought, but he did not explain it to Northumbria Sain, but only replied that he knew.

At this moment the bell came from the direction of St. Paul's Church, and the king's procession was about to arrive, so the nobles present stopped talking, and the wedding was about to begin.

In the sound of the hymn, Hereward saw the protagonist of the wedding, King Edgar wearing a red silk robe with a very ornate neckline, but this was not as ornamental as the bride's body, the round necklace engraved with prayers and portraits of saints, the gold brooch and pendant inlaid with jewels, and the velvet briot dress, all of which showed the dignity of the master.

The bride was very short, and the king was three years older than her, but he was half a body taller, but the couple still seemed to be made in heaven, and Herry Ward thought to himself: maybe it was just because of their equal status, could a king ask for a more perfect queen? Princess Emma's dark blue dress was adorned with stars, and this dress set off her demeanor so elegantly that it was almost impossible to notice that her figure had not yet fully grown, but the king looked at his bride with a lonely look on his face, and even made people feel that he was a little absent-minded.

At the end of the wedding, the nobles present watched the King and Queen leave, their new house in Westminster had already been decorated by Lady Agatha and Princess Christina, and the English and French nobles, including the Count of Vimanduis, were present to witness the final completion of the marriage.

When Martin met his master outside the church, he was drinking beer with the crowd on the side of the street, and he was pulled out of the middle of the drunken burghers by Hereward, still shouting, "For the best beer in England, drink!" ”

"Your Excellency, you are here!" One of the king's attendants shouted behind Hereward and Lady Turfida.

The young squire then told Helward that the king wanted to see him, and the Lincolnshire magistrate followed him to the king's chambers. Seeing that King Edgar was still wearing the wedding clothes, he heard the announcement and immediately said to Hereward, who had just entered the door: "I need you to go to Flanders at once." ”

Hereward did not answer, and quietly listened to the king continue to explain: "According to the French, the Count of Flanders died in July, and if his brother Robert begins a rebellion, we need to know as soon as possible. This matter must be kept secret, and we do not want the King of France to know about it. ”

"Your Majesty, what should I do if there is a war in Flanders?"

"Return to Dover immediately, we need to mobilize the militia as soon as possible, and if I guess correctly, when King Philip sends troops to Flanders, William will definitely make a move!"
