122 Weddings
The morning breakfast was nothing more than an appetizer compared to the crowds that filled the grand church hall like a sea in the dark of the night.
At this time, Lan Li was standing under the statue of the deity in the center of the hall, holding a heavy golden cloak, performing the "exclusive" task of being the king's younger brother.
In front of him were the parties to the marriage, the king with black hair and buckle in a velvet cloak and a slender golden curly girl in a crimson silk dress beside him, standing in front of the statue of Our Lady of the Father in the depths of the church, receiving the blessing of the archbishop.
The fat archbishop wore a huge crown made of gold leaf and crystal, and the crystal crown shrouded in sunlight from the high windows of the cathedral behind him, and the crystal crown continued to emit rainbow light as the archbishop's head swayed slightly.
The words in his mouth burst into bursts, echoing in the sea of people who didn't even cough, it seemed very sacred, Lan Li looked intently at his fat intestine-like mouth opening and closing, it seemed to be very serious, but in fact, his thoughts had already diverged.
A discovery at the breakfast party made him suddenly arouse a little interest in the church, or the gods behind the church-
Since the Warrior's Son trait allows him to get a response from a warrior, does it mean that the gods of this world must exist?
If so, in what form?
And, what is the relationship with those historical copies that you shuttle into?
Does the fact that the characteristics acquired in the historical copies can now be echoed in reality proves that history and reality are in fact one world?
Or is the so-called god just some kind of existence similar to a programmed machine, as long as Lan Li has a special "power", the prayers that come out can be answered?
This feature itself seems to have little effect, and it seems to have a duration, but the meaning behind it makes Lan Li have to ponder about it.
However, the schedule is tight, and there are many busy things to face as soon as it comes out, and Lan Li does not have time to carefully experiment with this for the time being.
How far can it go?
Does it fulfill all wishes? Or is it limited to warrior-related?
How long does it last?

The lengthy wedding ceremony is a bit tireless, but the time passes without realizing it.
The ceremony was tedious.
Because the God of the church is one, the number seven is very important in the continent of Westeros, and it has long penetrated into customs, laws, daily life, and so on.
Therefore, the newlyweds in front of them not only have to make seven wedding vows, but also accept seven layers of blessings and exchange seven commitments.
After a series of procedures, Lan Li thought a lot about the problem, and his arms dragging his cloak were a little sore, but when the wedding hymn sung by the choir sounded around him, he immediately cheered up.
"Do the people who are watching the ceremony question the legitimacy of the marriage of the couple in front of them?"
The archbishop's majestic voice reverberated throughout the church.
This kind of questioning is an inherent procedure of the wedding ceremony, and under normal circumstances, no one will stand up to make trouble, and there are no accidents at the moment.
So the next cloak exchange ceremony on behalf of marrying into her husband's family officially began, and the majestic Tywin. The Duke of Lannister stepped forward to untie the cloak that his daughter had been wearing, while Lan Li, who was the younger brother, approached with neat steps, offering the heavy gold cloak he was holding in his hands to his cheap eldest brother.
When the bride and Robert kissed deeply, the archbishop proclaimed.
"Here, in the witness of the gods and the world,"
He said aloud, "I solemnly declare that Robert of Baratheon and Cersei of Lannister are married, and from now on they will be one body, one heart, and one soul forever." Anyone who interferes in their marriage will be mercilessly cursed. β
After speaking, many nobles watching the ceremony applauded, and the wedding ceremony officially ended.
However, the end of the ceremony does not mean that the wedding is complete, and there are still a series of procedures to be carried out, such as the newlyweds standing outside under the statue of St. Belle to receive the blessings of the people and nobles, and holding a wedding dinner in the evening, and finally having a cave room.
Lan Li acted as a companion boy and a flower boy in this process, he felt that this task was somewhat boring, and he was also worried that he would sprinkle and sprinkle, whether the flowers in his hands would suddenly come to life, or something else.
Luckily, there were no incidents until the end of the mission, when he got into the carriage and returned to the Red Keep.
"Your task is basically completed, there will be some noble ladies who will invite you to dance at the banquet in the evening, and you should go back and practice before that, so as not to make a fool of yourself."
The carriage echoed with faint voices, and Stannis, dressed in gold and black, was admonishing his brother, who looked absent-minded.
"Are you sure?" Hearing this, Lan Li glanced at this cheap second brother who spoke ugly.
"I'm so small to dance with people?"
He also wanted to say that the other person would have to bend over and jump?
But the other party obviously did not have the idea of answering the question again, but said there with his own eyes: "At other times, you must attend tomorrow's breakfast, and don't make excuses like yesterday, this is polite, otherwise the new queen will have an opinion on you." β
It's normal to hear these words from other people's mouths, but it makes Lan Li feel a little strange when they hear it from the inside of this mouth, because in his impression, this cheap second brother has always had no emotional intelligence at all......
"After the wedding, Mace. Tyrell is ready to leave King's Landing, and you'll travel with him to the Bendlands. β
Looking at the stunned boy, Stannis said, "I am against sending you to be an adopted son, but Robert insists on doing so, he is now the king, and I can't quarrel with him." β
Lan Li nodded, thinking that there should be a following after this sentence, such as some advice or something, so he listened attentively.
But after the other party said this, he stopped talking, but sat there and looked at the boy quietly, and looked out of the carriage from time to time, occasionally with a thoughtful expression, and did not know what he was thinking.
Lan Li was speechless about this, but he was also accustomed to this strange person, so he didn't care, and instead concentrated on thinking about his own affairs.
About the present, about the past, and more about the future......
The feast would only begin tonight, and there was nothing he needed for the time in between, and after the carriage returned to the Red Keep, Lan Li was sent back to the Megg Building.
But before he could enter his small room, he suddenly saw a person who was not supposed to be hereβ
The one who "stole" the dagger by him, a bit of an eccentric Zedi.
