"Hey, Chairman." Alfred, the son of Gustav, who was Lyon's best man on the side, saw Lyon's strangeness, he patted Lyon's shoulder and comforted, "Don't be nervous, I don't think marriage is more dangerous than confronting the French, right?" ”

"Huh." Leon was amused by the words, "Thank you, Alfred." ”

"That's as it should be." Alfred also smiled, "We're here, get out of the car, I'll be with you." ”

Leon took two deep breaths, pushed the door open and took Alfred out of the car, and the best man in the several cars behind him also got out of the car and followed Leon.

The woman's bridesmaids had already arrived at the door first, and when they saw that Leon and the groomsmen had arrived, they greeted them, and then formed a one-on-one pair with the groomsmen.

When Leon saw that the groomsmen and bridesmaids were ready, he walked into the church side by side with the groomsmen, and the groomsmen and bridesmaids behind him followed them in pairs.

Seeing the arrival of the groom, the originally noisy church fell silent, and the black-pressed guests saluted Leon, which made Leon's newly calmed mood tense again.

Passing through the white carpet of the wedding hallway, Leon arrived at the main wedding table, and this time the officiant Pius XIV stood behind the main wedding table and smiled and nodded to Leon, who also smiled and returned the salute.

The groomsmen and bridesmaids behind him spread out to both sides, centered on Leon and the main wedding table.

Then the bridesmaid walked in alone and stood beside Lyon.

After the groom, groomsmen and bridesmaids arrived at their places, the flower girls and ring boys, who had been waiting outside, walked in with baskets full of petals and small ring pillows.

The flower girl also scattered flowers along the way while walking, until she reached the main wedding table, and then the flower girl stood behind the main groomsmen, and the ring boy stood behind the main bridesmaids.

Once everyone was in place, the wedding reached its climax.

The band began to play the "Wedding March", and Sophia, dressed in a crisp white wedding dress, was carried into the church by her father Strauss, holding flowers in her hands.

All the guests stood up and faced Sophia as a sign of their respect for the bride.

Leon looked at the beautiful Sophia and froze, forgetting what he was going to do next.

Alfred, who was on the side, saw Leon's stupid appearance, and suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly patted Leon and motioned for him to meet him.

Leon came to his senses and hurried to meet him.

Strauss saw the groom coming up, so he lifted Sophia's veil and kissed her on the cheek, and then Sophia stepped forward, moved the bouquet to her left hand, and put her right hand into Leon's arm, holding Leon's arm, while Strauss walked to the front row and sat down.

Leon took Sophia in his arms, and after Strauss sat down, he walked onto the wedding stage and stood facing the officiant.

The choir began singing songs such as "Ode to Joy" and "Hallelujah", and all the guests began to bow their heads in prayer and ask Jesus to bless the couple.

After the prayer, the officiant begins to solemnize the marriage.

"The bridegroom, Mr. Leon Andrés, and the bride, Miss Sophia von Strauss, come today to St. Peter's Basilica, the Lord's Temple, to make a marriage contract in the presence of God and the Church, parents and friends."

"The Lord has blessed you with the grace of baptism and blessed your love, and now, by sanctifying and strengthening your union through the sacrament of marriage, making your life more abundant and willingly taking on the responsibilities of Christians in marriage. You know that since it is a match made in heaven, it must be kept for life. I now ask the two of you to solemnly state your wishes before you. ”

"Mr. Andrés, would you like to marry Miss Strauss of your own free will?"

"Yes, I volunteer." Leon nodded heavily.

"Miss Strauss, have you volunteered to marry Monsieur Andrés?"

"Yes, I volunteer." Sophia said red.

"Are you willing to accept God's reward for your children and raise them according to the Gospel of Christ and the Magisterium of the Church?"

"Yes, we do."

"If you two wish to be married, hold hands with each other, face to face, and make your marriage covenant with one another before God and the Church."

"Sophia, I now solemnly acknowledge you as my wife, and promise that from now on, no matter whether the circumstances are good or bad, sick or healthy, I will always love and respect you for the rest of my life. May the Lord grant my wishes. Leon looked at the beautiful Sophia, and his tone was full of determination.

"Leon, I now solemnly acknowledge you as my husband, and promise that from now on, no matter whether the circumstances are good or bad, sickness or health, I will always love and respect you for the rest of my life. May the Lord grant my wishes. Sophia whispered happily.

Then the two took the rings from the best man and the main bridesmaid respectively and held them on their hands.

"God blessed these wedding rings, please exchange them with each other as a token of your love and loyalty." Pius XI blessed the ring.

"Leon/Sophia, I put this ring on you as a sign of my loyal love for you, and may the Lord help us. In the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The two exchanged rings.

Pius XI stretched out his hand to bless the marriage covenant: "May the Lord strengthen and bless the marriage covenant you have entered into in the presence of the Church and your relatives and friends." May Christ's love for the Church be fulfilled in your lives and grant you eternal happiness. I hope that the match made in heaven will grow old together. ”

"Amen." The husband and wife said softly.

At this point, the wedding was completed, and the two stepped off the wedding stage to the cheers and applause of the guests, left the church, and headed to the location to take some exterior photos.

In the evening, the couple and Strauss sat together for dinner.

"Leon, from now on, my daughter will be entrusted to you." Strauss looked a little lonely, "I hope you treat your wife well." ”

"I will." Leon nodded.

"Dad, it's not like I can't see you when I'm married." Sophia held Strauss's hand and said coquettishly.

"Alas, you don't understand." Strauss touched Sophia's head and said kindly. At this moment, Strauss no longer has the iron blood that belongs to the soldiers, and there is only the kind of holiness that belongs to his father.

"That's right, Leon." Strauss seemed to think of something, "This time your wedding Italy has done a lot of work, but you have never asked for any payment, this is a little wrong." ”

"I know roughly what they're thinking." After the wedding, Lyon, who returned to a calm state, combined history and quickly figured out the relationship, "Mussolini just wants us to choose to stand with them in some things that may happen in the future." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"What are the plans for the future, but I'm not in a hurry now." Leon smiled and said, "After tonight, Mussolini will almost come to 'visit' me." ”
