Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info"I can imagine the pomp and circumstance of the emperor's departure or return from countless descriptions in books, but I must say that any description of rhetoric is so simple and low-key compared to everything that is happening in front of me......"

—Pericles Setopia

In the palace, Leo stretched out his hands helplessly, allowing a dozen well-trained maids to constantly perform final checks on himself under the loud command of two personal butlers, even if the costume seemed to him to be almost perfect, even the slightest hidden wrinkle made others seem intolerable

For the first time, Old Garin and Batar were in high agreement, and they squinted their eyes, constantly examining and examining everything around Leo with the harshest and most critical gaze in the world, and that kind of focused and serious attitude even Leo, who was already a little impatient, could not say anything more

After nearly two hours of dressing up, he finally came to an end, waving his hand to let the maid back away, and Old Garin walked in front of his lord in Batar's envious eyes, and he couldn't hide his kind and relieved eyes at all, which made Leo suddenly feel a little flustered, and coughed twice and said a little unnaturally

"How do I look today, friends, I don't know if it's because of the tension or the belt is too tight, I feel a little thirsty and hard to breathe......"

"Wonderful Your Highness, I have never seen anyone in my life who can compare to you today, relax, you are just a little nervous, I can understand this, when the little cub in my family got engaged, I was so excited that I was about to faint!"

Gently fastening the last button on Leo's neckline, the smooth surface of pure gold reflected the face of old Garin who could not contain his joy, perhaps under the guidance of this emotion, he spoke a little verbose for the first time

"That's good......"

Licking his dry lips, Leo's gaze involuntarily fell to the water glass not far away, but before he could speak, the old butler's voice came into his ears again

"No, Your Highness, please refrain from it, on this most important day for the two top families, any chance and unexpected situation will become a laughing stock in the mouths of the people of the aristocratic circle and even the entire continent for decades, drinking water, greasy food, all of this must be resolutely rejected before the banquet really begins!"

In desperation, Leo could only look at Batar who was smiling on the side for help, but it was obvious that the two professional butlers should have reached a consensus a long time ago, although they did not speak, but the other party's expression was clearly telling him

"Don't even think about it......"

"Well, I'm glad I didn't have that when I was on Earth, maybe simplifying and eliminating troubles is the only benefit of the progress of civilization?"

Subconsciously scratched his head Leo muttered secretly on his lips, but unfortunately because of his own unconscious behavior, he finally wasted ten more minutes of time, using a comb made of antlers to gently finish the last messy black hair, and the two butlers retreated when the servants were just about to explain something, and the Finns who pushed the door in could be regarded as saving Leo in distress

"Kudos to all of you who have been busy for me, my friends, I swear I really never knew that getting engaged was going to be so much trouble, you know, and now I'm starting to dread the day when I actually get married......"

Behind Finn's back, Keith secretly gave the two butlers a thumbs up, and the familiar Leo in front of them at the moment made them a little strange, very contradictory but very appropriate......

According to Leo's modified evening dress, it is more similar to the aesthetic concept of modern people, and the close-fitting cut of the greatest tailor of this era makes every line set off the perfect masculine charm, highlighting the upright and resolute but also with a slight sense of softness, which makes people awe but not alienated

In terms of color, Leo, who followed the local customs, did not stubbornly choose the black and white that later generations saw, because in the medieval era when the dyeing conditions were extremely backward, most of the two colors were used by civilians, and in the consideration of several alternative colors, Aldalian's opinion was finally chosen, and the blue was embellished with fine golden ripples, as for the effect, it can only be said that he himself is also very satisfied, after all, the aesthetics of the Noldor elves are still a grade higher than that of humans to some extent......

At a time when aristocratic clothing still used round necks or stacked pleats for design, the unique stand-up collars that rarely appeared, and it was easier to amaze and admire people with a unique style that was different from this era, and more than a dozen top craftsmen spent a week to build brooches, against the backdrop of silver bases, hundreds of tiny diamonds were tightly adhered to finally form the pattern of the Leo family coat of arms, but the price of this decoration was enough to exchange for all the property of a baron's family in the original northern collar

Now, Leo is already considered to have a top and prominent status, and only recently has he really enjoyed a life that is enough to become luxurious, although he has countless gold coins, although he has the top knights in the continent by his side, but from the beginning of his arrival, the constant wars and disputes seem to linger around him, which makes him have no time or way to enjoy everything that his status should have

Or rather, in the era of feudalism and handicrafts, a real superior can obtain far more enjoyment than later generations, which may be the sadness and irony of the times, but it is clear that Leo at this time has absolutely no mercy and other thoughts, and his long position in a high position has allowed him to quickly adapt to all that he should be familiar with in a short time

Chains, rings, scarves, gloves, leather boots, and all the accessories on the body, all made of the best materials that can be found, are processed by a top master, as if they have been detached from their proper role, and have become expensive and traditional, and incarnate into a work of art that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve......

Seeing Leo sit down cautiously under the worried eyes of the two butlers, Finn forced a smile and said after lightly buttoning his chest

"You should go out and see the adults, Stormwind has become almost a sea of joy these days, and everyone, yes, from children to the elderly, is blessing and celebrating your engagement to Miss Elena, and people are eager to see their master and future mistress for themselves!"

Holding back the discomfort of his dry mouth and the heavy makeup on his face, Leo shook his head with a wry smile

"I think I'd rather wear armor than that, at least he wouldn't make me think twice before I wanted to do anything...... Forget that, Finn, now that Stormwind has a much larger population than before, as well as a large number of nobles and retinues, you and the others must keep order and safety, and I definitely don't want anything embarrassing or dangerous to happen! ”

Nodding solemnly, Fein pointed out the window where cheers were constantly heard

"Your will has been executed, my lord, since three days ago, all the champion swordsmen and the Storm Wings have ended their rotation, they will be firmly at their posts today, for the whole time of your ceremony, order, safety, you just need to wait for everyone to bless you and Miss Elena!"

Flicking his fingers slightly, dazed, anxious, happy and fearful appeared on his face, and various expressions flashed together, and it took a long time for Leo to speak slowly

"Yes, the closer the time gets, the more panicked I feel, just like the first time I went to the battlefield......

Several people present looked at each other when they heard this, only the slightly older Finn and the two butlers understood that this feeling of anxiety and overwhelm would appear in almost everyone who was facing marriage, and just as they were not sure how to persuade them, a bright light shot into the hall, and Ardarian spoke loudly as soon as he walked a few steps

"Your Excellency, the time has come, the carriage, your knights, and all the nobles and people are all looking forward to your appearance, of course, you can continue to sigh for a while, but we are not sure if Miss Elena, who is in a hurry, will let His Excellency the Duke come to you with a sword......"

"Thank you for your blessings, if that's a blessing!!"

Rolling his eyes at the snickering Aldaryan, Leo slowly stood up, the light at the gate was a little dazzling, and he looked down at his whole body one last time, Leo took a deep breath and said

"Let's go, my friends, and thank you for being there for me at one of the most important moments of my life!"

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

Outside the palace gate, the two rows of more than 1,000 champion swordsmen were almost nervous to the extreme, the shiny armor and the long sword in their hands could not bring them the same sense of security as before at this moment, outside the cordon they had arranged, the number of more than 10,000 civilians of all classes crowded and looked forward to the heavy gate, and the brewing power made these battle-hardened veterans a little frightened......

Sweat covered their bodies in this season of moderate temperature, and every second was tormenting, they didn't dare to think about the consequences of the crowd getting out of control, and they didn't dare to imagine the horror of their lord Leo after the danger, but fortunately, the presence of the punishment knights who were the guards of Leo's carriage gave them the greatest courage, no one dared to ignore the existence of this knight order, not the enemy, and neither could the onlookers in the excitement

The pale gold armor was also dressed, with a four-color ribbon diagonally across the chest, a festive red cape, and several brightly colored feathers inserted into the fully enclosed helmet for the first time

Unlike the surrounding champions, the Punishment Knights in the crowd and noisy noise seemed to have no feeling, they quietly surrounded the carriage that belonged to Leo, and even the unicorn mounts under everyone's crotch did not have any extra movement and impatience, together with their masters, they were like eternal sculptures, only that faint touch of pride!

Dragged by sixteen tall white horses, the carriage made of gold with a shell large enough to fit a group of soldiers, according to Leo's meaning, did not enclose the carriage according to this era, but adopted a rare open-top shape, perhaps from this point it can be seen that Leo himself can also be classified into the sullen type......

On both sides of the gate, due to the special days of the Duke of Lancaster could not appear here, the nobles of the Duchy, led by the Marquis of Hohenzollern and several other nobles, rarely waited neatly on both sides, there was no usual climbing and greeting, everyone was tightly guarded in their own place, staring at the door that was about to be opened with enthusiasm and excitement, these rulers who occupied an absolute minority They knew very well the consequences of the marriage between Leo and the Lancaster family

It was a force that could definitely compete with the heyday of the Empire, and even crush it at the peak of its strength, and as this faction, they would have more opportunities to absorb higher status and power than others in the days to come, of course, provided that humanity did not lose in the future war, but it was clear that no one would think about those troublesome things at such a time

Finally, as if it had already gone through countless rehearsals, the moment the time arrived, first the Knights of Punishment outside the door raised their huge horns, and then the other knights who were on guard duty on the perimeter did the same

Unlike the desolation and remoteness of war, the sound of the trumpet, which makes people feel heartfelt joy and dignity, resounded throughout the storm for a while, and with these, the door with the family coat of arms in the center was pushed open from the inside out, and Leo walked out slowly with steps that seemed to have been accurately measured

Behind him, Finn, Keith, Anthony, and Ardalyan represent the ruler's force, while Professor Pericles, Kane, represents the ruler's wisdom and deity, and in the slightly lower position, Al Andristes and the somewhat restrained Edward silently speak of the legitimacy of Leo's rule and the support of all races......

After waiting for almost a morning, the appearance of Leo made the atmosphere of the scene reach its peak in an instant, no one organized, starting from the first roar full of blessings, countless streamers were frantically thrown into the air, every civilian was hysterical as if to shout out the last breath of air in their lungs, cheering for the master in front of them who brought them changes, brought a relatively rich life, and a relatively fair living environment

The nobles who were at the closest distance, under the leadership of the Marquis of Hohenzollern, bowed their incomparably noble bodies to Leo with deep caresses on their chests, and expressed their most sincere and fearful respect to a king, a strong and benevolent ruler with the most pious attitude!

The moment he walked out of the door, the confusion and trance in the past had already been washed away by everything in front of him, and Leo, whose nature belonged to the stronger the pressure, did not have a trace of nervousness, he paused slightly, and slowly but forcefully opened his arms to the nobles and all the cheering people

At this moment, under the rays of the sun, he was like a god walking in the world high up in the light that people couldn't look at directly......
