21 Newlywed life

On the morning of July 8, 1806, a simple, low-key wedding was taking place in the Wall City Church. As always, the weather was good, and the sunlight shone through the window, and the reflected light lit up the wide dome, making the god of all sources on the mural come alive.

Four days after Milo suddenly proposed to Erin "without warning", the couple finally got married here and now. There was no publicity, only a small number of people knew about the marriage of the two, and the witnesses of the wedding counted them on two hands.

The church is not big, but it feels very spacious, and it has not been damaged and affected by the previous rebellion, it is very clean and exquisite, and the atmosphere of the wedding is extraordinarily warm. The two couples were dressed in simple and simple clothes, without much embellishment, and they were no different from solemn civilian clothes, and it was hard for anyone to believe that they were going to have a wedding if they were not in the church.

Only one old priest officiated at the wedding of the two, and after countless such romantic and solemn moments, the old priest reads the wedding message of the Wanyuan Sect with ease, and guides the two to say the vows of "I do"—as is the case, and he finally says: "In the name of the God of all sources, I declare the two to be married." May your marriage be blessed and protected by God. ”

The two responded to the old priest's blessing with a hug, and also swore their love and loyalty to the witnesses, and at the same time, there was sporadic applause from the audience.

Among those invited to the wedding were: Emperor Splett himself, Ulf, commander of the Imperial Army, Irene's adoptive father, Count Akay, a distinguished guest from the Duchy of Komet, and her bodyguard Parrett.

The two newlyweds stepped down from the stage to receive greetings and blessings from their elders.

"Father-in-law." Melo politely addressed Count Akay.

The old man smiled with relief: "It's really quick to change your words, haha, I didn't expect you to be together in the end." ”

"Father, don't talk about the previous ...... Hmph......" Erin muttered a little writhingly, as if there was a deep connection here.

On the other side, the Emperor stood up with Ulf's support and asked, "Eh, tell me, is the bride pretty?" ”

Ulf replied lazily: "It's beautiful, it's angry when you can't see it, right?" Old pervert! ”

"Hey! You kid don't tease me, if it wasn't for me-"

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for you, this city would have been lost...... It's time to go, and if you don't set off, it's too late to sign a peace agreement. Ulf sent it away impatiently, and helped the Emperor to say goodbye to Milo and the others.

Count Akay instructed his daughter and son-in-law: "I really want to reunite with you for a while, but the affairs of the state are more important, and I will also accompany the emperor to set off...... By the way, about you breaking the 'curse'......" Count Akay had already learned from his daughter that the two had decided to die together for the common people of the planet, and he did not dissuade him, not because he did not want to, nor did he care about the honor of the family, but he knew his daughter's temper and determination, "Although I would like to say that I am proud of you, but ...... I also hope that a miracle will happen......" His tears ran out at once, and when he saw his daughter and son-in-law stepping forward to comfort him, he hurriedly dissuaded him, "No, no, the choice you made is completely correct, I have a good daughter and a good son-in-law, and I have no regrets in this life......" As if he didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward, the old man opened his broad arms and embraced his beloved two children, and after making his final blessings and instructions, he accompanied the emperor out of the church.

The moment the church door closed, the Emperor's eyes "looked" at Milo, who also noticed the old man's unusual "gaze", and although he could not see, he conveyed his determination, wishes, and blessings to Milo with this imperceptible gesture.

This was the last time Milo saw the Emperor.

When the old priest also left, only the familiar foursome remained in the hall of the church.

"Do you have a place to stay next?" Kelan asked with a smile, "It's too shabby to stay in a hotel after marriage." Otherwise, we'll pay for it......" Before Kelan finished speaking, Parrett on the side hurriedly prepared to open the rumbling baggage and was about to take out the gold coins inside-

Erin hurriedly dissuaded: "No, no, no, my brother has a family territory in the suburbs, and we will discuss it with him when he comes back......"

"I've got a place to stay." Milo said suddenly.

"Huh?" "What?" Erin and Parrett were a little surprised, but Klan smiled and nodded, as if she had foreseen this.

"Your Majesty handed over his palace in this city to me to manage, in fact, he found me a place to live." Milo explained to Erin, "I want to surprise you. ”

"Humph! It's always worrying, and I don't even ask if I'd like to live in that old guy's house. Erin grumbled angrily, and Parrett shrugged and put away her baggage.

……

"Where's Kelan? What's next? After chatting about trivial matters, Erin asked with concern.

"I'd like to go back to Komet (the Duchy) and I'll leave in the afternoon, just in time for a boat to take us." Kelan said leisurely, his eyes flashing with deeper emotion. All four know that in the near future, they will say goodbye to this planet once and for all, and die on an alien planet for the sake of more people's survival, the space station known as the Watcher. Therefore, in the only time left, accompanying their beloved and ending the unfinished business has undoubtedly become what the four of them need to do at present.

Although she was still very hesitant, Erin finally couldn't help but ask, "Kelan, that day...... When is it? All four understood the meaning of "that day," the day when the purple comet visited the planet, but on this happy wedding day, they wanted to avoid talking about it, but the "sacrifice" of the future hung over their hearts like a lingering shadow.

"Erin......" Milo put her hand on her wife's shoulder, as if to say, "I'm supporting you", and also looked at Koran expectantly—he also wondered when "that day" would come.

Kelan smiled lightly, she didn't want to spoil this beautiful atmosphere, but the two people in front of her had already realized enough, even if they brought up this topic now, it would not make them feel sad.

"Just next year, in the Empire, July 8, 1807." Kelan finally named the exact date of "that day".

"Great!" Milo said with a smile.

"yes, that's great!" Erin also responded with a smile, "I still have plenty of time, so I can enjoy my daily life." ”

"Hahaha...... "Mellor laughed, "I can't wait to start my new life!" ”

Klan also narrowed her eyes and smiled with relief and satisfaction, and Parrett beside her also laughed stupidly-

The last year is worth cherishing.

……

After lunch, Kran and Parrett boarded the ship bound for the Duchy of Komet, and before leaving, Erin and Kran hugged him goodbye, "Cherish what is in front of you." Kelan sent his blessing again. As the ship faded away, Milo and Erin watched the ship disappear below sea level before looking away.

"It's just the two of us." Erin sighed, a slight feeling of loneliness in her words.

Milo heard the emotion in Erin's words, and hurriedly prompted: "Well, but Pete will arrive in a few days, you'd better go to the dispatch office of the port and leave him a message and tell him where we live, otherwise he won't be able to find us as soon as he comes back." ”

As Erin went to the dispatch office, Melo casually looked at the ships anchored in the harbor, and he stumbled upon several ships from the Dragon Empire that had just docked, which made him realize that the two powerful empires had returned to normal diplomacy. Some of the brightly dressed women disembarked from the distinctive Dragone, attracting a lot of attention, and Melo vaguely felt that these women were a little familiar, and searched her memory to find that they were the artists who had performed on the Pearl in the past, and the singer Jasmine seemed to be among them.

Milo inquired with some of the well-informed seafarers next to her, only to learn that the entertainers were going to perform at the upcoming festival.

"What celebration?" Melo couldn't remember any festivals in the neighboring days.

"Peace celebrations, the war between us and the United Kingdom of the South is over, and a peace agreement is to be signed...... I heard that His Majesty was personally present, and I have already set off to rush over......"

"Can we trade with the Dragonon Empire? I saw their boat. Melo voiced her doubts.

"Huh? Don't you know? Two months ago, our Majesty shared a very important message with all the countries, I heard that the next 'crisis' is coming, and it is even more terrible than the previous djinn, so we must join forces with all the countries to fight, and naturally stop the hostility with Dragon...... Now there is no war between all countries, and peace and unity are the most important things......"

Peace, what a mediocre and precious word. The last time I enjoyed peace was back in Windtown, but since that incident, my fate has changed drastically......

"yes, Windwalk...... And also...... And ......"

……

"What kind of god are you stunned about? Ah, why are you crying?! ”

Erin's exclamation awakens Milo, who also wakes up from her memories to find that she has two lines of tears on her face.

"Not feeling well? Or ......" Erin asked with concern, checking to see if something was wrong.

Milo shook his head and wiped away his tears: "I want to get to this day, the ups and downs and tribulations along the way ......"

"Huh?! Is it so emotional? Erin was a little surprised, this answer really made her scratch her head, "Then you can write a book to express your feelings......"

"Your proposal is good, and the title of the book is 'Fate Always Plays Tricks'." Milo quipped, easing the awkward atmosphere just now.

"yes, fate just can't say it...... Hmph, I didn't expect to marry you in the end......" Erin said half-jokingly.

"Well, I didn't expect that either."

Chatting about memories and interesting topics, the two left the harbor and arrived at the Emperor's palace here, where they now lived, where the consul had been waiting for a long time, and the key handover had been completed without a hitch.

It is said that it is a palace, but it is actually a high-end apartment near the town guard camp, which is similar to the high-end hotel they lived in before, and even the room layout is similar, which makes the two very comfortable.

"I thought it would be a little more extravagant, but it seems good." Observing the furnishings and layout of the room, Milo said, "This must be Ulf's idea, so that he can find me at any time, so ......" I wanted to say that I would not be afraid of running away and no one would solve the "Curse of the Stars" in the end, but Milo still didn't say anything, protecting this hard-won happy atmosphere.

Erin was also very pleased with the residence, opening the window to ventilate and responding to Milo's words: "You can go somewhere else, I think Ulf doesn't like you very well, but he likes you, and I promise he will trust you." She came to Milo's side, "If you want to go somewhere, I'll be with you." ”

"Well, there's no hurry...... But I do want to go north and visit places with memories......"

Erin's eyes subconsciously looked out the window, of course she knew what "north" meant, and even more clearly included the source of all kinds of conflicts and memories - Windswept Town. And when I go back there, I will inevitably think of that woman...... Erin noticed that she was a little restless, and hurriedly said, "I'll go outside and see where I can buy food and groceries...... and then left the house.

Fortunately, Irene's heart calmed down quickly, and after experiencing the dream in the Green Dragon Castle, she was no longer as impulsive as the Shaling Crisis, but her sensitive heart was still prone to turbulence.

"Really, we're all married, why are you still thinking about it......" After wandering outside for a while, Erin returned to her apartment, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw that Milo was writing something at her desk.

Erin approached from behind and found that Milo was writing a letter, and the envelope next to it was already written with the address and the name of the recipient: "Fengxing Town, Viscount Li personally opened".

"Huh?!" Erin couldn't help but scream when she saw it.

"Huh? What's wrong? Milo, who had already noticed Erin entering the house, didn't know why she was screaming.

"You wrote to Windwalk? Why don't you go back in person? Erin asked, her eyes wide open.

Milo didn't expect Erin to ask like this, but then his expression showed that he seemed to understand something-

"yes, I have no intention of going to Windwalk."
