Chapter 704: Marriage Robbery
On the day of the wedding, it was very lively.
In Vienna, almost all the nobles arrived at the cathedral to witness the wedding.
Almost all the nobles were able to understand what the result of this marriage meant.
Once any family can be united with the royal family, and the prince becomes the crown prince and inherits the position of Roman emperor, it means that its family glory can last for at least a hundred years, and it can influence at least two generations of emperors.
The aristocracy is mostly a beast in the power field, and it is natural to understand its importance.
The number of guests in attendance was in the hundreds.
And the eldest prince Charlemagnestein Augustus, who was the protagonist of the marriage ceremony, also arrived at the banquet venue early and chatted and laughed with many nobles.
In a changing room deep in the cathedral.
Jeanne knocked on the door, heard an affirmative reply, and pushed the door in.
In front of the three floor-to-ceiling mirrors on the front and back, Angelica, dressed in a pure white wedding dress, stood in the light, and had to admit that the aristocratic lady who had been carefully decorated was completely at the peak of her life's appearance at this time.
"You look calm."
"Am I supposed to cry and fuss?" Angelica's haggard look was obscured by her makeup, but the tiredness and hollowness in the depths of her pupils still inevitably overflowed.
"So, you accepted this wedding as your destiny?"
"You're talking as if I have the ability to resist." Angelica picked up the bouquet at hand: "If I were Her Highness the Holy Maiden, I would naturally be qualified to oppose it, but unfortunately I am not, I don't have the strength and confidence to defend freedom." ”
Jeanne glanced at the bouquet and said, "If you are going to hide a dagger in this bouquet so that you can prove your innocence...... I suggest you still don't do it, it will make the Venus family and the royal family a laughing stock. ”
Angelica opened the bouquet, and it was empty: "You joked, I am past the age of seeking death and life for love. ”
When Jeanne approached, she reached out and reached under her skirt, and soon felt something on the outside of her thigh, pulled out a silver fruit knife, and threw it on the ground: "Love brain is not qualified to say that." ”
Angelica closed her eyes in silence, her eyelashes moistened, her lower lip biting, and her delicate makeup left a scar.
"I'm not here to hit you." Jeanne took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes: "I'm here to give you a hint." ”
"What's the hint?"
"You don't have to do anything." The saint said, "Just complete the wedding step by step, and leave the rest to the prison white." ”
Angelica didn't understand, she asked with a wry smile, "What else can you do now?" ”
"It is difficult to open up the pattern, some things are difficult to look at from your point of view, but it is especially easy to stand from the perspective of some people." Jeanne took a fruit knife and cut off a piece of fruit and stuffed it into her mouth: "There is still some time before the wedding starts, I have found a book for you to pass the time, read it well, and study hard." ”
With that, Jeanne left the room.
Angelica was distracted for a moment, looking down at the book, childish doodles and illustrations indicating that it was just a child-friendly fairy tale book, called ......
"Dragons and princesses?"
……
Jeanne made it all the way back to the wedding hall.
As I walked through the hallway, I suddenly felt that the sky had darkened, and the clouds had obscured the sun.
When she looked sideways, she saw not a dark cloud, but a huge creature that spread its wings to cover it.
A griffon fell from the sky, flapped its wings twice and looked around with a sharp gaze, and behind this griffon was a knight in pitch-black armor.
Jeanne's heart sank.
She knew the knight who rode the griffin.
Black Knight Lodfel.
In the Roman Empire, the same knights were also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the rank of the knights was usually determined by color...... The rarest two types of knights are gold and black.
The Golden Knight is usually a royal knight that can only be obtained after swearing allegiance to the royal family; And the black color means that the knight's merits have reached the point where he cannot be sealed, although he does not have the status of nobility, but the honor is enough to equal the duke.
The total number of black knights in the Roman dynasties did not exceed ten...... To understand it simply, it is like the 'champion Hou' in the East.
Not everyone can afford this title, the reputation is too big, the prestige is too high, and those with insufficient qualifications will be crushed by it alive.
It has been thirty years since the Black Knight, the Black Knight, debuted at his peak.
At the age of twenty-three, he won the championship of the Roman sword competition, became a royal knight at the age of thirty, and swept through the masters of the Roman Empire at the age of forty.
Now in his early fifties, he is still in his prime.
Although he has not used force in the past ten years, his strength has far surpassed that of knights of the same level.
It has long been rumored that he is about to touch the threshold of the canonization realm.
And why are such people here now?
"It's been a long time since I greeted her, Your Highness." After the black knight got off the griffin, he took off his helmet and performed knightly etiquette, revealing a young appearance as if he was in his early thirties, burly and dignified, and even at the age of fifty, there were still many noble women who were attracted to him.
Jeanne replied with an impassive face: "I didn't expect to meet Lord Lord Lord here, and you are also here to attend the wedding?" ”
"Invited." The black knight said with a natural expression: "I also have some spare time, so I want to come over and drink wine." ”
The saint said indifferently: "Can I see this as a political statement? ”
Lodfell scratched his head and laughed: "I'm just a knight, I don't understand politics...... Isn't Her Highness also unconcerned about this matter? But aren't you here too? ”
Jeanne looked directly at the black knight, trying to dig out something from the other man's eye expressions, but she found that she couldn't see anything...... This old jackal.
She said lightly: "I am just obeying the orders of the church, and the bride and I have an old relationship, which does not mean that I have any views and inclinations towards the Roman royal family." ”
The black knight said heartily: "I understand, I understand...... Just like before the knight's battle, fold the armor first. ”
I couldn't see the Black Knight's intentions at all, but his presence here would be a nuisance.
Jeanne couldn't read his thoughts, and it wasn't convenient for her to say something rashly.
If you are sure that the other party is not the person of the Great Prince, you can remind him not to enter in advance.
But she had no way of knowing if the other party had reached any agreement with the eldest prince.
As long as the Black Knight is present, today's wedding is like a robbery field, and it is destined to be tricky.
It's a hassle.
Do you want to just knock him over now, and then give him a hat of 'insulting to the saint'?
Jeanne doesn't care about who she offends at all, even if it's a black knight, she can do whatever she wants, and her hot temper really doesn't instigate anyone.
Her fingers clenched under the sleeves, then released again.
…… It's not that I don't want to, but I don't know sure.
She is only a fourth-order now, and she has not completely awakened to the canonization, and she can't solve it in one move, but it will cause trouble and disrupt the arrangement.
Jeanne gave up on the idea and entered the decorated wedding hall, where she looked around and saw the crowds of people gathering.
She quickly began to rejoice that she hadn't made the right decision to do it directly to the Black Knight.
Security at the wedding site is quite strict.
What's more, there are an astonishing number of transcendents at the wedding scene, not all of them, at least more than fifty percent.
Just counting the transcendents above the fourth order, the number is no less than the number of ten fingers.
The Black Knight is also one of them.
This...... It's weird.
How did Charlemagne, the eldest prince, invite so many Fourth Orders?
Do you fight so hard to marry Angelica?
If it weren't for the fact that the nature of the eldest prince was a power creature, I am afraid that Jeanne would also be a little moved.
The eldest prince's actions are strange everywhere, and now it is confirmed that this wedding is not purely for marriage, but for some additional purpose.
If it is to gather so many masters in Rome, it is completely understandable, after all, it is the capital, and a single brick can be thrown to the nobles and citizens; And summoning so many masters in Vienna, are you planning to go to the Golden Hall to have a silver party?
Where did the eldest prince get such a strong appeal?
Is he trying to use this wedding to make a statement?
Jeanne pressed her eyebrows...... This poked into her knowledge blind spot, and she never cared about politics, so she could only do some inaccurate analysis of the current situation.
But, there is no doubt that today is not a good day to grab a marriage.
But the brakes could not be stepped on, the door was welded, and there was no turning back.
Jeanne could only hold her hands and pray.
Hope people are okay.
……
Half an hour later, the wedding officially began.
Well-dressed aristocratic guests, orderly wedding choreography, gorgeous and noble on-site decoration.
A sunny noon day would probably go down in history when a wedding was underway.
The wedding under the auspices of the church is long, coupled with the royal status constraints, the etiquette of the nobility is like the bra of the old sow, cumbersome and complicated, one set of processes after another, there are too many complicated procedures, just a variety of ritual utensils as many as a dozen.
The guests watched the scene in silence and with great patience.
And the bride and groom at the scene are also silently carrying out the wedding, like a machine.
The Holy Maiden stands in the center, under the statue of the Lord, with a priest holding a plate and two rings made of gold on a red background.
The choir was ready, waiting for the two to take the oath and exchange rings, and then sing the hymns of the Gospel.
Jeanne asked: "Charlemagnestein Augustus, are you willing to marry Angelica Orlando as your legal wife, and to love and protect her with all your life?" ”
The eldest prince was well-dressed and talented, and he replied in a loud and flat voice: "I do." ”
The saint turned to the noble girl: "So, Angelica Orlando, would you like to marry ...... And with ...... Caring for him? ”
Angelica's face was covered by a pure white wedding dress, which would not be uncovered until she answered.
She was held by Jeanne's hand, and a golden ring was tucked into her hand.
The guests are waiting for the bride's answer so that the wedding can take place to the end.
Angelica was silent for three seconds, her lips lightly furled, and a rather rough and wild roar resounded through the church as her heart rang in her soul.
The squealing of the sonic boom was accompanied by a blazing wind.
The hot air passed through the aisle in the middle of the church, bypassing the perimeter of all the guests, raising the rose petals scattered on the ground.
The floral fragrance was clearer in the blazing wind, and everyone had the illusion that their skin was burned.
The wind also blew the hem of the bride's skirt, and her veil swayed, and through the gap she could see the figure outside the main entrance of the church, stepping on the door panels and entering.
"I'm against this wedding."
Knights in armor burst into the church, machinery resounded, and flames lit up the red carpet.
"It's time for the ridiculous wedding ceremony to end!"
