Volume III, Chapter 33

In extraordinary times, the preparation time for the wedding was very short, but I finally invited all the guests who should have been invited.

Of course, because of His Majesty Cohen's insistence, the priest was not among the guests or witnesses. But in every city of the Divine Alliance, the Temple of Light is a necessary facility, so on the same day, the high priest of the only Temple of Light in the Dark City wrote a strongly worded document and sent it to the Temple of Light on Paradise Island, fiercely criticizing the new emperor of the Sibian Empire for his defiance of divine authority.

Weddings – this is the seventeenth Emperor of Spia, Cohen. The first thing Al Kaida did when he came to power.

The rebels, the forces of the governors of other provinces, the royal families, and even the Demon Alliance, their intelligence systems hidden in the Dark City also passed on the news in the shortest possible time.

Before the wedding proceedings began, Cohen. Al Qaeda's three wives are Dir. Miss Merlin had a small welcome party.

"By the way, there is a small problem that needs to be negotiated. That's what Filine said, anyway.

In Diere. After Merlin followed Cohen's mother to the Dark City, the three ladies (who could not yet be called the Imperial Princess) followed Diel. Miss Merlin met several times, and after that she was still in the same room for official business, and in addition to the difference in status, they got along well.

Well today, in Diere. Before Merlin was about to become Cohen's official wife, Feline felt compelled to tell SΓΉ Dill something.

Three ladies and one expectant sat around the table, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

"Diel, please believe it. We don't have the slightest malice. Philin spoke first, "Just before you became Cohen's wife." There's something I want you to know. I don't think Cohen has had a chance to explain it to you. ”

"Please, Sister Firin. "Dill dressed as a bride looks very demure.

"Well, to the average person, Cohen is a strange person. Speaking of her husband, the expression on her face was a little helpless: "But he is our husband, and we all love this man, so as his wife, we have to bear more responsibilities and obligations than ordinary people." ”

"I understand. ”

"Cohen once told me. After the wedding, your official position is the municipal overseer of the empire, just like ours. "Then, you will mainly manage the business, and the private circulation system that was previously developed in Wanpu will still be under your management." ”

"Regarding this, my husband also told me last time. ”

"But no one expected things to change so much," Philene smiled bitterly: "Cohen's recent love is very unstable, we are better, but I'm afraid you won't get used to it." ”

"So, has this happened before?" asked Dill softly.

"We. We grew up with Cohen," Kelly picked up, "before becoming Cohen's wife." All three of us were his friends. ”

"I see," Dill nodded, "Cohen told me that too." ”

Kelly didn't mean anything else. Winsley hurriedly explained: "It's just that compared to other people, we know a little more about Cohen's personality, and we are a little more tolerant. ”

"That's right," said Philen, "Cohen has a lot of flaws, and as his wife, we've been trying to help him go in the right direction." Our decisions or actions may seem a little incomprehensible to outsiders, but I hope you can understand us. ”

"I want to ask......" Dill lowered his head, "Do you all love him?"

"Yes," Filine replied, nodding, "for sure." ”

"Well, I think I can understand you. Dill raised his head and looked at Philin calmly: "The relationship between the three sisters and Cohen for more than ten years is deep and sincere, and the relationship between me and Cohen for two years is also deep and sincere. For me, Cohen is the only man I have a crush on, and I am willing to give for him on the basis of loving him. ”

"That's the best outcome," Philene said softly, taking Dil's hand, "then, let me tell you about our secret ...... with Cohen."

Then, outside the door, Lily heard Dill whisper in surprise, and Abu jumped around, wagging his head and tail and having a good time.

At noon, the wedding officially began.

Because the newly formed internal affairs system has not yet had time to pay salaries, the prime minister has repeatedly stated in advance that he will not accept congratulatory gifts, so most of the officials have replaced them with congratulatory messages.

Among them, the president of the Royal Academy and the director of the Imperial Military Discipline Tif. Lorenzo's congratulatory message is the most distinctive, fifteen pages long that becomes a recital on the second page, and a critical document after the ninth......

This message also became the only copy of the Emperor's wedding message preserved by the Ministry of the Interior.

As a start, the emperor's wedding was filled with a "pragmatic" atmosphere, with officials and foreign leaders holding wine glasses in their hands and discussing government affairs in twos and threes, and secretaries moving their desks to the garden to write the decree that the governor had just issued. The officers gathered in the corner of the garden, broke branches and drew maps on the ground, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and the enemy, and asking each other about the solution of military rations......

The most suitable for the wedding atmosphere is the beautiful bride.

One day, to become the bride of the beloved, this should be every girl's most beautiful dream, Diel. Miss Merlin was certainly no exception.

As the largest smuggler in the Wamps, Deere. Miss Merlin prepared for herself the most appropriate wedding dress, wore the set of jewelry that her mother had left her, and took her father's arm, who had "turned back", and slowly entered the antechamber of the Doge's Palaceβ€”a beautiful countenance and elegant demeanor that conquered all the guests of the antechamber as soon as she appeared.

Cohen, dressed in a gown, walked over to greet his bride, but at this time, a second thing happened that would make the people talk about it later - the bride's father, the new Earl Eva. Merlin didn't let go, and looked at his son-in-law with a strange, hateful look.

There are various theories as to the next development of the matter, some say that the groom broke his father-in-law's hand, and some say that the bride stepped on his father's foot...... Eva anyway. The Earl of Merlin was unable to stop the wedding.

There were no priests. It was co-chaired by the highest-ranking minister of state and the chief tutor of the Sibia Imperial Academy. They announced Cohen in unison. Qaida & Deere. Merlin becomes husband and wife. This legal relationship was immediately recorded by the Reich Interior Clerk, marking Diel. Merlin became one of the four wives of the Emperor.

Then, the bridegroom kisses the bride.

Later, the Minister of State also announced the promotion of three municipal overseers of the former Dark Province to the positions of Imperial Overseers, along with Dill. Merlin also became the fourth overseer of the Empire's internal affairs. In addition to assisting the Minister of State in managing government affairs, the four interior supervisors also shoulder the responsibility of supervising the Department of the Interior.

Take advantage of this rare opportunity. The guests continued to discuss the affairs of the government, and even the bride and groom, who had changed their clothes, joined the ranks - at this wedding, by the end of dark, the Imperial Interior Office issued a total of twenty-seven decrees, the military headquarters issued twenty-five orders to the army, and the rest of the decisions were made and consensus was reached.

All in all, it was a peculiar wedding.

At the same time as the wedding took place, there were horse caravans galloping along several roads leading to the Dark City. They are Major General Carlos, who has been promoted to the rank of Imperial General Staff, Brigadier General Haiert, commander of the Second Imperial Army, and Brigadier General Moya, commander of the Third Imperial Army.

Every time the General Staff officer passes through a checkpoint, he issues the same order: Receive a report that a spy is pretending to be Cohen. Kaida Majesty. Since the Dark City stole the extremely important Wen JiΓ n, in real time. The level is closed if someone claims to be Cohen. Kaida Majesty, immediately captured. Caught alive, absolutely alive!

As for Brigadier General Haiert and Brigadier General Moya, they also gave orders with similar content to the checkpoints they passed by.

These three men are extremely smart in their own right, and they're the same as Cohen. Kaida had been together the longest, and had been almost inseparable in recent years, only they had discovered the problem, and the people in the Dark City, like Cohen's parents and his four wives, had not noticed.

In the Dark City's Governor's Palace, the guests who had come for the wedding gradually dispersed. Cohen went to his parents' room to say goodnight and prepared to go back to his new room to rest. As he passed by the garden, Cohen also talked to Filin, and he seemed so normal.

In the new room, the magic lamp emits a soft light, and Dill has changed his clothes again. Merlin is waiting for her husband.

After knocking on the door, Cohen. Kaida walked into the room, and turned back and told the rock and other guards to go back to rest early, and indicated that he would inspect the barracks tomorrow.

The well-behaved lily prepares a qiΔ“ for the newlyweds, and is about to leave with Abu in her arms.

"Lily, leave Abu here, I haven't played with Abu in a long time. Cohen then replied, "You're tired too, go back to your room and rest!"

"Yes, young master. Lily still uses the old name, which is what Cohen has repeatedly insisted on.

Dill smiled and walked up to help Cohen take off his coat.

"Did they tell you?" Cohen casually asked, "I'm surprised they allowed me into your room." ”

Dill blushed slightly and replied in a low voice, "Philene said that your agreement with them does not involve me. ”

"It turns out that today's meeting of the Four Ladies is about this. Cohen smiled rarely: "I'm worried in vain." ”

"Cohen, everyone is worried about you, you must cheer up!" Dill whispered, "We're all working hard for you!"

"I know......" Cohen nodded and hugged Dill "Let me see my bride." ”

Looking at each other, Diel's cheeks flushed with shame, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Diel, I want to tell you that I love you very much. Cohen stroked Diel's face with his hand: "I feel very happy that you can be my wife." ”

"I ...... Me too. Dill replied, and she heard her own pounding heartbeat.

"I often can't control myself, and I often do stupid things. Cohen whispered in Deere's ear, "Even then, you'll forgive me, right?"

"I ...... I forgive you. ”

"Thank you, my dear wife. ”

However, what followed was not an affectionate kiss.

Cohen placed his left index finger on Diel's forehead and chanted a spell with a stern expression.

Dill only had time to open his eyes, but his entire body was imprisoned by magic. Not only can't it move. I can't even make a sound.

Doubts mingled in Diel's eyes.

Cohen carried Dill to the bed. Pulled out a few letters from his bosom.

"Listen well, Diel. Cohen put the letters to Dill one by one: "This one is for my father, this one for my mother, and for Felin, and the orders to the Department of the Interior and the War Department are in this envelope, and the last one is for the Chief of Staff." ”

With that, Cohen stood up and took off his clothes and put on a set of guard clothes that he didn't know where he got them.

"Abu, go over there and transform. Put on this outfit. ”

When Abu transformed, and the two Cohen stood in the room at the same time, Diel's eyes were already filled with tears.

"Abu, after I leave, Dir will be your master, and everything will be up to Dir. Cohen put the cuirass of the black armor on Abu's chest: "In front of the officials, you are me, understand?"

"Yes, master. ”

"Now, send me out. ”

Cohen, who walked to the door, hesitated. He turned around and walked over to Deere's bed.

"It's for you," Cohen kissed Dill "a kiss from a husband." ”

Tears welled up in Diel's eyes.

Because of the accident last time. Therefore, the garrison of the Doge's Palace is quite tight, and the garrison in the Dark City has also doubled. But when Abu's transformed "Majesty Cohen" called an officer on duty and ordered him to send a guard "on a secret mission" out of the Dark City, of course, this would not be a problem.

The guard fetched his horse and was escorted by an officer with Cohen's handwritten letter all the way out of the gates of the Dark City.

The fields outside the city were dark, and Cohen avoided the trade route and followed a country road around the first pass out of the Dark Cityβ€”which was also guarded by soldiers, but Cohen had access letterheads, so it was not a problem.

But at a small pass, Cohen ran into a real problem.

A burly figure occupies the road, and there are more figures around, and it seems that they have been waiting here for a long time.

Cohen slowly patted his horse forward, thinking of a countermeasure.

The burly figure also took two steps forward.

"Sir, you're a little late. A deep, resolute voice said, "We've been waiting for a while. ”

"Well, didn't you go back to your room to rest?" Cohen said, "Rock, what are you doing here with the Guards?"

"Where the commander is, there the guards are. The rock stepped forward again: "The Guards will not put the Commander in danger until we die. ”

"So, you're just going to stay with me, not get me back to the Dark City?" Cohen was a little surprised, "Is that so?"

"We are not from the Department of Internal Affairs, we do not belong to the army, we are just the Guardsmen of the Chief. The rock re-emphasized his words: "You are our commander, and where the commander is, we will be there." ”

"In that case," Cohen smiled, "let's go together!"

"Yes, sir!" the rock straightened, gave Cohen a standard military salute, and then turned and ordered, "Lead the horse, get ready to go." ”

Rock rode his particularly "strong" flower horse, and slowly moved side by side with Cohen.

Cohen asked, "How many people did you bring with you?" ”

"Six squads of the Guards, almost all of the elite. The rock replied, "Because you said you were going to the barracks tomorrow, sir, we came out under the pretext of surveying the route in advance." ”

"How did you guess what I thought?" Cohen asked again.

"Every bloody man does that," the rock replied, "it's not hard to guess." ”

Cohen silently said "bloody man" a few times, and did not speak again.

"Target boundary. Out of the pass, Cohen commanded the rocks: "Be quick!"

When a faint white appeared in the eastern sky, the general staff officer, who had been on a long journey for several days, was stationed at the gate of the Dark City. The tiredness and anxiety on his face made the usually calm officer very anxious, and he almost gave a whip to the soldier who opened the city gate.

But Carlos is Carlos after all, although he is anxious, he still does not make a noise after entering the city, and even enters the governor's palace through the back door.

At this time, someone dared to ignore his rank and position to stop him, and he was a woman.

This woman, of course, is the new head of the Governor's Palace, Miss Lucy.

The woman, who "always had a shallow smile on her face, but never turned away from being thousands of miles away", with four maids, just didn't let Carlos into Cohen. The yard where Kaida rests.

"This is not a barracks, nor is it the Department of Internal Affairs, this is the inner courtyard of His Majesty. Lucy said softly, "Please forgive your majesty for the hard work of the day, and let him sleep until dawn." ”

"Urgent military affairs. Karos, with chapped lips, said.

"Please look for the Prime Minister. Miss Lucy said, "No one is allowed to enter at this time, except for His Majesty's parents, and His Majesty's four wives." ”

"Chief Cohen, didn't go out at night!"

"I can't sue you. ”

"I ...... I can't spare you. For the first time in his life, Carlos threatened someone, and at the same time waved his fist: "Your actions are unforgivable!"

Then, like a gust of wind, Carlos ran to the courtyard where the Prime Minister lived.

When Minister Wei Su returned to the courtyard gate with Carlos, Miss Lucy blocked the two brigadier commanders of the Second and Third Imperial Legions.

This time, however, Major General Carlos suddenly had a new understanding of the delicate-looking young lady - Brigadier Hailt's knife was on Lucy's white neck, and even a determined soldier would rarely have a normal face in such a situation.

Prime Minister Wei Su walked into Cohen's room, and soon he was greeted by "Cohen" and Dill in civilian clothes. Merlin sent it out.

The three generals standing outside the courtyard gate exhaled at the same time, and their hanging hearts finally relaxed.

Prime Minister Wei Su looked at the three of them, looking angry and funny.

"You three, what am I going to say about you?" the minister counted three officers one after another, "When can you stop being so reckless? If you go in, I don't know what Cohen will repair to be." On the wedding night of His Majesty the Emperor, you all refuse to be honest?"

"Yes, it's our fault. The three of them apologized in unison, especially Carlos, who always found it a little difficult for Mr. Lucy's eyes to face.

"Is the front line okay?" said Wei Suguo after teaching the three of them a lesson, and asked casually.

"In the short term, it will be difficult for the rebels to organize a large-scale offensive. Carlos immediately replied: "They have recently suffered a crushing defeat, and it will take at least a month and a half." ”

"That's good, it just so happens that I have something to look for you, it's the road, and you haven't eaten breakfast yet, right?" Wei Suguo gestured: "Let's go, go and sit with me, Cohen will meet you at noon." ”

The three of them obediently followed behind the prime minister.

The Prime Minister walked with his hands behind his back, and several letters were clenched in his hands. (To be continued......)
