Section 65 The Great Wedding of Carter in the Alto Empire
This night Carter tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night, hating his ignorance and impulsiveness, and inadvertently killing a kind and beautiful girl. Once this matter spreads, his prestige as a king will be greatly reduced, and he will be spurned by the entire Knight world at that time.
So Carter didn't dare to speak out, begging that this incident would become an ordinary accident and quietly become a thing of the past.
The next morning, there was an uproar in the garden in the backyard of the palace. Carter never fell asleep, and in a daze, he heard the noise in the yard and struggled a few times to get out of bed.
After a while, Dimis knocked on the door, and Carter hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, why is it so noisy outside?" ”
Dimis shook his head and sighed: "Hey, last night there was a noble girl who got drunk and strayed into the garden, fell into the ice pond and drowned. What a beautiful girl, what a shame. ”
"Oh." Hearing Dimis say this, Carter finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Dimiss frowned at Carter and reached out to touch his forehead. Then Dimiss exclaimed, "Oh my God, Your Majesty, you are sick. Wait a minute, I'll call a doctor right away. ”
After saying that, Dimis carefully covered the quilt for Carter, and then hurried out the door.
After a while, the doctor came to check Carter's body, and when he was done, the doctor smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's just an ordinary cold and flu, take some potions and you'll get better soon." ”
After saying that, the doctor left with two guards and went to make a decoction.
Maybe it was the madness in the snow last night, coupled with the complete lack of sleep, Carter really suffered from the wind chill and lay in bed all day.
To outsiders, this incident is an ordinary drowning, and no one will suspect that there are other accidents. As the girl's parents buried her, things quickly passed without incident.
But this incident left a deep shadow on Carter's heart, and his temperament began to slowly change.
After recovering from his illness, Carter's face became much more serious, and he always warned himself not to make such mistakes again in the future.
Spring is fast approaching, the land of Knight is renewed, and the new Alto empire is beginning to show its great vitality. Under Betty's hard work, countless people were stationed in Victoria, and the land in the territory was restored, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner. Under Carter's arrangement, Spartt returned to the sunny waters to expand the port and docks, and further expand the maritime trade routes.
Assel also began a new round of recruitment, the knight training camp in the royal capital was rebuilt, and the training camps in each territory were also full of new troops.
Just as Knight was given a new lease of life, Betty finally celebrated her eighteenth birthday. On this day, the whole city of Hwaseong was lit up, and the Duke's Mansion of Hwaseong was even more brilliant.
Betty was a very trustworthy person, she really put on her wedding dress on this day, and under the personal leadership of Mozart, accompanied by the two brothers Charles and Salas, the wedding caravan drove to the royal capital.
The wedding of King Carter and Betty Hwaseong was a big event for the Knights, and the wedding procession was crowded with people who came to watch and see off the royal capital.
On the side of the royal capital, Dimis has already been settled, the streets and alleys are all decorated in colorful colors, and the palace is full of golden and brilliant decorations, just waiting for Betty's arrival.
In the past, Carter had been looking forward to this moment, and he had been looking forward to it in countless dreams. But when the wedding came, Carter's heart seemed extraordinarily calm, as if he didn't care.
When the most beautiful bride on the continent arrives in the royal capital, the whole royal capital is in a revelry, and everyone shouts for Carter and Betty, and the scene is far more lively than the founding celebration.
In the main hall, the ministers were seated, many nobles gathered, and the commanders were also dressed in flowers and red, celebrating this grand wedding for Carter.
When Betty dragged her long wedding dress to the king's platform, she turned and stood, scanning the crowd through the veil. Then she turned her head to Dimis and asked, "Didn't the north send anyone?" ”
Dimis replied, "Back to Your Majesty, we have sent to inform them, but they have not replied, nor have they sent anyone over. ”
Betty nodded in disappointment, then turned around and continued into the platform, finally standing quietly on Carter's right.
Carter gave Betty a casual glance, without a smile on his face. Then he took a few steps forward and said to everyone: "Thank you for coming, forgive me for not being able to entertain you in person today, and I apologize to you in advance." ”
Everyone laughed together, and then applauded and shouted for Carter.
Thus began the wedding, which began one by one according to the custom of the Knight people.
At this moment, Betty behaved very much, she had no smile, no expression, and felt that she was like a doll at the mercy of others. When the priest asked Betty to read the oath, Betty was silent for a long time and refused to speak.
At this most embarrassing moment, Carter said: "Okay, etiquette can be exempted, don't do so many tricks." Mistress Betty has come from afar, and her body is already very tired, so she should finish it early and let Miss Betty go back to her room to rest. ”
The priest looked at Carter stunned, and asked timidly in a low voice, "But Your Majesty, this oath cannot be avoided." ”
Carter said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, do what I say." ”
The pastor was so helpless that he skipped this link and asked them to exchange wedding rings and drink a glass of wine.
After the ceremony, under the eyes of everyone, Carter led Betty out of the hall slowly.
The wedding feast then began in the palace banquet hall, where Carter and Betty were toasted by the crowd, and the atmosphere of the banquet was particularly lively.
This time Carter restrained himself, and in order to get himself completely emotional, he didn't drink much, and left the banquet early.
After arriving at the dormitory, Carter saw Betty sitting motionless on the bed, quietly waiting for his arrival.
At Carter's signal, all the maids withdrew, and Carter walked over and sat down next to Betty.
This time Betty didn't show disgust, she didn't shy away from it, and continued to sit there without saying a word.
After a long silence, Carter glanced at Betty's delicate body, and then said, "I never wanted to force you to do anything, if you feel that this is very unaccustomed, I can wait for you to get used to it." ”
After saying that, Carter got up, walked a few steps, and then turned back and said: "From now on, you are already the imperial concubine of our empire, and you will have to get up early with me every day in the future and go to the main hall to accept the worship and deliberations of the ministers." Our empire has just been founded, and there are a lot of things that I need to deal with, and this wedding honeymoon or something is free. Tomorrow morning you will go with me to the court, and you can rest early. ”
After finishing speaking, Carter left without looking back.
Betty sat quietly on the bed alone, and for some reason, she shed a tear on the day of the wedding, and no one could understand her current mood.
Carter is the king of Knight's resurrection, and for everyone, Betty is also the rebirth of Knight's goddess. The combination of Carter and Betty is an excellent combination for the Knights, as if it had been arranged by the gods a long time ago, and there is no doubt about it.
The court talks about all kinds of important affairs in the empire, and although many people are used to asking Betty's opinion, Betty has never spoken since she sat on the throne of the imperial princess. Maybe Betty was holding on to something, maybe she had given up all rights altogether, or maybe she had lost any interest in these things.
After Betty became the imperial concubine of the Alto Empire, according to the custom of the Knights, Mozart was knighted and became the first prince of the Alto Empire, sitting on the three large territories of Hwaseong, Neido and Ritunburg. Even Betty's elder brothers, Charles and Salas, were given the title of the two new marquis lords of the Alto Empire, Charles was given the title of Lord of Ritunburg, and Salas was given the title of Leader of Neddo, both under the command of Mozart, King of Hwaseong.
Carter finally fulfilled his promise and gave the Duke's Mansion Hwaseong a due, and since then, the name of the King of Hwaseong has resounded throughout the continent, and the power of the Alto Empire has been overwhelming.
For the rest of the year, Betty still lived alone in the palace dormitory, and Carter never touched her, not even his hands.
Betty didn't expect this Carter to be so self-conscious, and it was really unacceptable for her to accept any man touching her, at least temporarily. The marriage between the two seems to be only superficial, and they are relatively indifferent to each other, which seems to outsiders to be incredible. However, there are many affairs in the Empire, and Carter and his ministers are busy every day, and no one pays attention to such things. Betty was left completely idle, admiring the flowers in the palace every day, practicing swords, taking a walk or something.
This year was a special day, not only Carter and Betty got married, but even the Northland ushered in a heavy wedding.
In the rebuilt Fengdu City, several young leaders of the Northern Kingdom met together to hold a rare group wedding. These newcomers include Caldis and Marcello, Robit and Anne, Cook and Mariara, Miller and Sarah, Jombus and Chrissy, and Subaru and Sophia. Even Michelle, who had been alone for most of his life at the age of forty-four, found his twenty-two-year-old young wife, Jenny, and rushed to participate in this grand group wedding.
Almost overnight, all the young leaders of the northern kingdom got married and started families, and the scene in the northern kingdom was equally lively.
Originally, Miller planned to find a wife for the elderly Wakas, but Warkas had long since lost this mind, so Miller gave up.
It has been more than a year since Varkas came to the Northland, and he and the other Tubis have long since integrated into the Northland family, and they have personally felt the peace and tranquility here.
That afternoon, Warkas came to talk to Miller again, and Miller had wanted Sarah to prepare some fruit plates and drinks to accompany him to the house. But Varkas invited Miller out for a walk, chatting as he went.
