Stormwind www.biquge.info, around the temporary mansion of the Lancaster family, hundreds of servants are making final preparations under the scolding of the direct members of the family, and the marriage of two top wealthy families is definitely not so simple, even if it is just an engagement today

Hundreds of reconstructed boxes of equal size were neatly stacked together, a large number of gold coins, costume jewelry, and even title deeds and real estate that included some land ownership around the original Grey Castle, all of which were eye-popping riches for Elena, which was a traditional and a way of expressing the status of a married woman

Perhaps before, the Lancastrians had such concerns and objections to the Duke's decision and marriage, but when Leo led the army to resist the Imperial Church coalition and nearly crushed the other side in the counterattack, all opposition was a thing of the past, and even a fool could see that a new family destined to prosper for generations was rising

At this time, many Lancaster family clansmen who had originally kept a wait-and-see or still had a somewhat high-minded mentality, hurriedly put down their bodies and began to become attentive and stammering, don't be surprised, it's the same at all times, this is human nature, this mentality is even reflected in the follow-up things, confirming that Elena will inherit the family The resistance is much less than the Duke expected......

Under Leo's special care, a large number of soldiers have already cleared several blocks around the area, and the nearest cordon is at least more than thirty meters away from the Duke's Palace

After chatting with the people around him, the Duke swept his inquiring gaze towards the knight commander of the family who had hurriedly come from a distance

Not disappointed by the duke's expectation, the visitor nodded after wiping his sweat and bowing heavily

"Your Excellency, my lords, the convoy has entered the last block, if you don't take into account the enthusiastic civilians along the way, Your Highness will definitely arrive here on time, do you need to start preparing now?"

"Of course my child, each and every one of you is the pride of the family, ride on your horse and straighten your body, you belong to the great Lancaster family from the War Lord, use your demeanor to set off the family's demeanor, I hope even Your Highness will cheer for you!"

After watching the excited knight commander Ying Nuo turn away, the duke rubbed his palms with some excitement and shouted to all the direct clansmen on the left and right in the dissatisfied eyes of the butler behind him

"Cheer up, today is a day to remember and show off, whether it is for the lovely Elena or for our family, this is not a loss of dignity attachment, but a union between two of the greatest families on the continent under the witness of great love, and in the future I believe that each of you will be proud of today...... I must go in now to see if our sweet little princess is ready, it is definitely not a virtue to make people wait, hehe! ”

Perhaps Elena, who was more anxious than the Duke and everyone else, didn't let everyone wait for a long time, and soon took her grandfather's hand and appeared in the hall of the mansion together

The delicate goddess-like face exudes a surprising brilliance in joy, the ruby headdress on the white forehead shows Elena's nobility and elegance, the long hem of the suffocating gown is gently lifted behind her by two personal maids, and the almost perfect body proportions are set off by the costume to perfection, at this moment Elena is the brightest star in the sky and there is absolutely no one

After making a slight ladylike salute to the family elders who couldn't help but admire the surroundings, Elena bowed her head a little shyly and said

"I'm sorry that the preparation took too long and everyone waited......"

"No, no, no...... My dear child, today you are the real protagonist, no one here will blame you, and if it were not for the disappearance of your father in that horrific invasion not long ago, I wish he would have seen with his own eyes the beauty you are today, Fidero...... My poor child......"

When the Duke said this, he obviously felt Elena's body tremble a little, and he quickly patted his granddaughter on the back

"I'm sorry little Irene, I don't think your father will be fine, after all, going missing doesn't mean anything, does it? Emotions, you have to control your emotions, don't forget, your surname is the Great Lancaster, I hope the golden iris coat of arms will give you unparalleled courage, dear little Irene......"

There was a slight glint in her eyes, but Elena tried to smile and look up at the Duke beside her

"I understand my grandfather, I will not let you and my family down at any time."

As the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves and cheers outside got closer and closer, there was no need to inform everyone again that everyone already knew that Leo's convoy was coming, patted his granddaughter's little hand lightly again, took a deep breath, looked around and smiled heartily

"Come, my relatives, let us wait quietly for His Highness to come, and while he was speaking, the family painter hidden in the corner of the room was walking with excitement, and his skillful painting skills were enough for him to perfectly present and record this exciting scene

********************

Sixteen pure white horses, under the command of Keith, who was willing to be the coachman himself, stopped neatly and just right at the main entrance of the Duke's Palace, and the relative distance between them was as if they had been measured accurately, as if they had a heart, and the cheers of the onlookers suddenly stopped at this moment, and these lovely people spontaneously gave their lord peace and tranquility in the most important time......

Old Garin himself opened the door, and as Leo helped his butler out of the car and walked up the first steps of the Duke's Palace, the Lancastrians waiting outside all smiled and bowed, and then flashed to the sides to reveal the door behind him, which in tradition must be pushed open by Leo himself, regardless of status

The nervousness and joy of the coming moment were tightly wrapped in Leo's body, and he resisted the impulse in his heart, and he slowly climbed the stairs with impeccable steps, and the cold touch of his hands lightly on the door made him suddenly gain a moment of peace

Smiling slightly, Leo pushed the door without hesitation in everyone's eyes containing blessings and joy, and in an instant, the band that had been prepared for a long time welcomed him with the most pleasant music, and at the same time, the voice of the butler of the Duke's Palace also sounded at the right time

"Under the Golden Iris coat of arms, the great Duke of Lancaster welcomes you with heartfelt and warm warmth, His Royal Highness Leo Chang, the honorable, merciful and brave Grand Duke of Storm!"

As soon as the butler's words of the marriage family between the two sides fell, the duke, who was held by the shy Elena, gently stepped forward a few steps and stood still in front of Leo, looking at the man in front of him with a satisfied and relieved gaze, and only after a while did the duke speak in a tone peculiar to the nobility

"In the presence of the ancestors of the family and the gods, His Royal Highness Grand Duke Léo Chang Storm, I here, in front of all the members of the family, I entrust you with my most precious pearl, Lady Elena de Lancaster, and pay a dowry worthy of her status, for which you swear to protect Lady Elena with your life, to give her a rich life and pure love, and at the same time, you need to give her belongings worthy of her status as a dowry, These will serve as the basis for maintaining a normal and decent life for a noble and noble lady in the future, all of the above, will you be able to do it? ”

Leo, who had long understood everything from the teachings of the butler and others, did not hesitate for a second at this time, he bowed slightly in front of the Duke of Lancaster and stroked his chest, and replied in a clear and firm tone

"Yes, I agree with all your just offers, Your Excellency the Duke, I swear with my life before the gods and all men that I will be loyal to Lady Elena de Lancaster in this life, protect her with my life, give her a rich life and guarantee the singleness of affection, and, in the tradition of nobility, the surnames of the two families will be one in our descendants in the future, and there will be no distinction between them in this life!"

Raising his head, Leo looked affectionately into Elena's eyes, he was so determined and resolute that the long eyelashes of the girl opposite him trembled a little......

The ritual that had to be performed was temporarily ended after the two of them had spoken, and the Duke regained his hearty smile and gently pulled out his arm that was being held, took a step back, and nodded at Leo

"Now that I have officially endorsed your vows on behalf of the Lancaster family, Leo, now you can hold on to your fiancée!"

smiled gently, opened his arms slightly, and soon a white and smooth arm circled Leo with warmth, sniffing the sweetness of the intoxicating girl around him, Leo looked around at the people who kept clapping and said happily and reservedly

"Come on, friends, dear relatives, the carriage worthy of your status has already been prepared outside, let us return to my palace together, an unforgettable and wonderful enough engagement ball is waiting to begin, I hope that all will share the joy and excitement of me and Elena......"

After that, with the acquiescence of the Duke of Lancaster, Leo took Elena and left the room first, of course, this time he didn't have to open the door with his own hands, when the two reappeared on the high platform outside the door, the onlookers who had been silent for a long time drowned out the two of them with a wave of cheers that were better than before, countless flowers were thrown around the carriage, and the air was filled with the smell of joy

Turning his face to look at Leo in surprise, after the other party smiled and nodded slightly, Elena raised her arms a little shyly for the first time in front of so many people, and raised her arms to the civilians who were watching and blessed them, seeing such a beautiful lady's behavior, the people had fallen into a frenzy

Beckoning to the crowd with Elena, the two of them sat back on the extravagant carriage under the service of the butler Old Garin, and then bowed his head to help his fiancée tidy up, Leo whispered in his ear

"You see dear, this is our people, I think in the coming time you will slowly get used to these, in my eyes, they should be the loveliest people in the world......"
