Chapter 126: The Wedding Venue
These things that happened in the shadows, Prutt and Jenny were naturally completely unaware of them.
They rode the mighty celestial white horse, and walked briskly through half of Trella City, from the Marquis of Weske's Mansion in the Uptown to a square in the Lower City.
Generally speaking, nobles, especially the marquis, will choose to set up the wedding venue in the upper town square, and the Marquis of Wiskes and his daughter initially considered this. Pratt, of course, was not against it, and they even had plans ready. But when the traversers arrived, they rejected the plan for the simple reason that the square was too small.
"What's the point of setting up a dojo in a snail shell?" Several people in charge of the venue design said in unison, with the same attitude, "We need a wedding venue as large as possible to fully display our heritage and taste!"
They convinced the parties, and the matter was settled.
It's just that as soon as Pratt and the others left, these guys fought over whose concept to design the venue according to. If it weren't for the chairman Sanyu rushing to mediate, I am afraid that they would have to use the most traditional method of the traverser to decide the winner.
What is the "most traditional method of the traverser"? Of course, everyone fights each other with real knives and guns, hangs the competitors back to the castle, and the last person left behind is the winner.
The designers quarreled and constantly adjusted, and finally the design plan was finalized and the vigorous construction began.
The scale of their construction is also very large, in order to avoid being seen, they directly covered the venue with illusions, from the outside, the venue seems to be covered by a huge curtain, and passers-by can only hear the rumbling and clanging sound from time to time inside the curtain, and they don't know what they are doing. However, the city guards and the archbishop of the Church of the God of Light went in from time to time to visit or supervise, and each time they said it was really interesting.
However, both of them had tight mouths, and they resolutely refused to say anything interesting.
The Governor of Trella was a prince who inherited a title from the founding of the kingdom, and the modern king needed to call him uncle. In front of this serious uncle, both Princess Fisna and Prince Zion were polite and polite, and he refused to say anything, and even His Majesty the King was inconvenient to ask.
Not to mention the archbishop of the Church of the God of Light, the clergy are all dead-headed, and since they promised not to say it, they will not say it. Not to mention that no one can force him, even if someone can force him, he is afraid that he would rather stab himself to death than reveal other people's secrets.
When the Ice Sword Saint went to Mulandana to track down clues about the dragon slayer Panda, Archbishop Mulandana of the Church of the God of Suffering committed suicide directly, refusing to answer a word. Before committing suicide, he also gathered all the people who were able to gather who had come into contact with Panda, and then cast a spell to make them forget about Panda completely.
You can't ask a famous question, and if you break in and peek, you will offend people, so in Trella City, many people will be very curious about the specific situation of this venue.
Of course, the curiosity is mainly small and medium-sized aristocrats, and the big aristocrats have said that style is the most important, and what style can be said for a wedding held in the lower city?
Of course, there are some big nobles who are willing to go to the ceremony, mainly those local nobles who have always been good people and no one can offend, as well as the relatively tough ones among the nobles in the royal capital, both of which are generally a minority, so there are few audiences on the viewing platform specially arranged for the big nobles.
Fortunately, the most important audience is here - this is of course the eldest princess Fisna Trella. As a good friend of Jenny Weskes, she also came, but she was not on the viewing platform, but entered the venue as a family friend and participated in the celebration.
At this moment, she was wearing a light ordinary skirt and waiting at the entrance of the venue with Semiramis. Seeing from afar the procession coming, they happily greeted the bride and took her from her horse.
Pratt also turned over and dismounted, looking at the square in front of him, which was still shrouded in illusions, as if it was covered with a huge curtain, and felt a little uneasy.
According to Terrera's tradition, the groom walks through a promenade decorated with thorns, and the bride waits for him among the flowers – a sign of the hardships of life before marriage, as well as the beauty of marriage. After the two meet, they walk hand in hand among the guests, walk up to the stage to the sound of everyone's blessings, and then the local lord (or a representative sent by the lord) presides over the ceremony, which symbolizes the recognition and blessing of the people and the lord. Of course, there are also couples who believe in the same God and invite the clergy of the church to preside over the ceremony, which is to symbolize their marriage with God's approval and blessing.
In many places, the question of who will officiate the wedding ceremony is also quite acute. The struggle between kingship and theocracy is often shown in this kind of thing in the form of a hidden needle.
There is no setting in the game on this issue, but judging from the wedding ceremonies that the travelers have seen in the folk in recent years, it seems that the lower the people, the more inclined they are to invite the priesthood to preside over the ceremony. The strategy team once said worriedly that maybe everyone will see a big plot that has not happened in the game - the desperate struggle between divine power and royal power, but most time-travelers are not worried about this.
The days of peace in this world are numbered, and in the stormy struggles of the future, the divine power and the royal power will have to work closely together in good faith to tide over the difficulties. If you want to fight to the death, wait until the dragon of doom is killed......
According to the original intention of the Marquis of Wiske, he wanted to ask His Majesty the King to send a representative (most likely His Royal Highness the Prince) to officiate at his daughter's wedding. But the traversers unanimously objected, and their reason was very simple - the person who presided over the wedding should be a respected elder, and an underage boy came to be the host, which is simply unusual!
The Marquis of Weskes didn't insist much on this issue, after all, the time-travelers had a point. The host of the wedding, after all, should be older.
So he agreed to the request of the traversers, and the candidate for the host was handed over to the other party.
...... Of course, there is also the persuasive effect of the charm spell. If it weren't for the power of magic, Marquis Wiskes, a somewhat stubborn person, would have been so easy to let go!
(Who will officiate at my wedding?)
Pratt pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of it, so he simply didn't want to, and walked directly into the venue.
On the viewing platform, Prince Zion looked at the still magic-shrouded venue with a smile, thinking the same thing in his heart.
(Who will be the celebrant of the wedding? who will be higher than the king's messenger? will it be the archbishop of a certain church, or a legendary powerhouse?)
(Hopefully this isn't Wiskes' own idea, otherwise, it's going to be trouble!)
