Chapter 216： Preparation

As the wedding day approaches, the festive atmosphere in Bingyan City has grown stronger.

However, the time of the marriage between Colin and Vera was still too hasty, and the rebellion in the north has not yet settled, so the wedding scene is foreseeable will not be particularly grand.

The invitations have all been sent out, but within such a short notice, it is estimated that a few lords nearby will have time to come to attend the wedding.

In order to prepare for the wedding, the butler Yimon has been very busy these days, and the tax officer Quincy has to temporarily put aside his work to help Yimon relieve the pressure.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of labor in Ice Rock City. The slaves who were grateful to Colin heard that the lord was about to marry Miss Vera, and suddenly looked proud and worked harder.

In just three or four days, hundreds of livestock were slaughtered, mountains of barley, vegetables, and fruits were also transported to the storage room, honey, cheese, butter, and of course barrels of wine were all prepared. Just waiting for the wedding day, the whole city reveled and celebrated and prayed for the lord and the lord’s wife.

According to the tradition of the Glorious Empire, the wedding ceremonies of the nobles will be held in the Glorious Church.

The glorious church in Bingyan City is located on the east side of the Red Fort. The interior of the church is all made of marble. The blue and white dome is more than 100 meters high and supported by 18 huge stone pillars.

Nowadays, these stone pillars are covered with festive white garlands, and the oil paintings depicting the stories of the first paladins above the dome have been wiped clean and renewed.

Colorful glazed glass reflects the main entrance of the church. This large arch of ten meters high will only be opened when important ceremonies are held. In front of the arch stands a magnificent huge bronze sculpture. It is the founding emperor of the Glorious Empire, the only recorded in history. The image of an eighth-order legendary paladin-Garner San Lorenzo.

The knight sword in his hand exudes a chilling light under the shining of the sun, as if it might be cut off with a sword at any time, the majestic face is so lifelike, people can't help but raise an impulse to worship.

"Viscount Anglia, you need to stay under the sculpture of His Majesty Ghana for ten seconds." Bachelor Dawn is teaching Colin about wedding etiquette, "Yes, right under the knight's sword, well, stop. Do not move, clasp your chest with your left hand and look ahead."

Colin is like a wooden man at the moment, and he will do what Bachelor Dawn says.

"Okay, Your Excellency, please follow my steps and walk into the church... Yes, don't rush to the steps, be more calm, very good!"

The wedding ceremony is actually not complicated, but the demanding Bachelor of Dawn just took Colin to rehearse ten times, and finally let him go until there were no more mistakes.

"Viscount Angley, I will be here for today's rehearsal. Please remember it carefully after you go back. If you have any doubts, please feel free to consult me."

"Okay." Colin was relieved quickly. He felt that holding a wedding was more tiring than fighting on the battlefield. Now he just wants to go back and lie down...

After walking a few steps, Colin heard the voice coming from the side hall of the church, and asked: "Vera is rehearsing over there, right?"

"Yes." Bachelor Dawn seemed to see through Colin's thoughts and quickly dissuaded him, "Your Excellency, according to the rules, you cannot see the bride before the wedding."

"Okay." Colin was a little helpless, so he had to walk outside with his heart patience.

But secretly, he was already wondering whether or not to sneak into Vera's room at night.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for several days, and Colin suddenly missed the smell of a girl.

...

The church side hall.

Vera, wearing a long white skirt with vertical buttons, is slowly ascending the steps under the guidance of the half-elf maid Cathy.

She was covered with a white gauze scarf on her head, and she dragged a long skirt behind her, deliberately imitating the wedding day costumes.

However, this kind of long skirt that drags five or six meters behind is really troublesome.

"Is this all right?" Vera stood on the high platform and looked back at Cathy.

Cathy watched the long skirt dragging a perfect semicircle on the steps, and then nodded in satisfaction: "It's okay, miss."

Vera breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but lift the skirt, revealing the slender thighs wrapped in flesh-colored silk tights, which seemed a bit stuffy.

Cathy took the opportunity to move forward and helped her sort out the diamond chains hanging on her suede boots, and said, "Miss, let's take a break, and then go through the process one last time."

"Okay." Vera nodded and listened, and found that the main hall next to it had been completely quiet, and knew that the rehearsal had ended on Colin's side.

She looked at the half-elf maid standing beside her, and suddenly asked, "Kathy, why did you give up the baron of the half-elf kingdom and be willing to come to the Red Fort to be an ordinary maid?"

Cathy looked terrified, knowing that sooner or later she would be asked this question by the future hostess of the Red Fort.

Moreover, she also knew that she had to deal with it carefully.

Because Vera would obviously care more than Colin whether she had ulterior motives.

"Miss, I chose to stay with Viscount Anglia. In fact, I wanted to use the power of Viscount Lord to explore Huiyue Forest."

"Huiyue Forest?" Vera looked at the half-elf maid in surprise, "Isn't there already a forbidden place? It is said that none of the people who have been there can come out alive."

"Yes. But there is an old prophecy in the Savoy family's books--

When the long tail star cuts through the sky, the knight in blood-red armor will open the gate of the Forbidden Forest. "

"Knight in blood red armor?" Vera frowned, "Do you think this knight refers to Colin?"

Cathy nodded, and the scene of Colin fighting **** outside Silvermoon City could not help appearing in her mind.

Vera thought for a while and found that Colin really liked red. The main color of the armor was red, and the castle was also called Red Fort. Before that, she discussed with her that the family crest should be changed, and the main color seemed to be changed to red.

"But based on this information, do you think Colin is the knight in this prophecy?"

Cathy hesitated and asked again: "Miss, I wonder if you have noticed that it took less than two years for the Viscount Lord to be promoted from a knight apprentice to a Tier 4 knight."

Vera was surprised that the speed at which Colin's strength increased was indeed a bit terrifying.

Even the genius ancestors who can be promoted to the sanctuary recorded in the Saint Hild family are no less.

If you think about it this way, Colin might indeed be the knight predicted by the Savoy family.

It is understandable that Cathy chose to stay with Colin She is planning to use Colin's power to pursue the secret of the disappearance of the elves.

This secret obviously aroused the interest of the Savoy family, who was once an expensive half-elf royal family, more than the position of a little baron.

To be honest, Vera was actually curious about the secret of the disappearance of the elves.

As the first race to explore the arcane mystery, the elves have an important weight in the heart of every Yevil wizard.

"Can you let me see the classics of the Savoy family?" Vera asked.

"Of course, miss. I'll send a letter back to Silvermoon City, so that someone can send a copy."

"Well, thank you."

"You are too kind."

Cathy secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had been accepted by the future mistress of the Red Fort.
