The wedding of Belia and Khalid began with the splendid kiss of the two protagonists, and then the procedures proceeded in accordance with the ceremony.

On one side of the wedding venue, the empress, who hadn’t appeared from her palace for a long time, revealed herself and held her position. When she appeared together with the emperor, there was an incredible stir.

There were rumors of conspiracy, but it had gone as far as suggesting that the emperor was hiding the fact of the empress’s death. The fact that she appeared in this place would undoubtedly create a huge resonance, and it wasn’t necessary to imagine how significant it would be.

“If you’re thinking of doing something unnecessary, it’s better to fold it now, Empress.”

“…”

The empress, as if she had no stories to share with the emperor, remained silent without responding to any questions, just sitting in her place and gazing silently at Khalid.

“Is Her Majesty the Empress officially entering society?”

“Oh, come on…”

Many opinions were exchanged, but no one was there to unravel their doubts.

At such a time when speculations were rampant, Belia’s grandfather and the ambassador from the New Kingdom rose to the stage to bless the lovers who were getting married today.

“I have always prayed without personal motives, for everything that you, the Lord, kindly scrutinize. But today, just for a moment, I would like to offer a prayer for them, including my personal desires.”

The ambassador continued with a warm expression.

“I won’t talk for long. I believe my sincerity will reach the Lord, so I will silently offer my prayers.”

Then he slowly closed his eyes.

It was a simple act, but from the ambassador’s figure, an indescribable transcendent power could be felt.

Everyone held their breath and maintained silence in awe of his majestic figure.

The ambassador, still muttering something, continued his prayer. Then the bright light appeared one by one around him, repeatedly disappearing and reappearing.

How long did they watch the spectacle of light forming?

“The Lord will surely bless their future with this radiant light.”

The ambassador smiled brightly, slightly raising and lowering both hands. Then the disappeared lights reappeared at a rapid speed, swirling around Belia and Khalid.

The mysterious and beautiful sight left all the guests gaping in admiration.

The emperor was no exception. With a look of amazement, he gazed at the ambassador. Although he had witnessed many weddings, it was the first time he had seen such a bright light when the priest bestowed a blessing.

The name of the ambassador wasn’t just for show; with tremendous divine power, he brightly illuminated the wedding venue.

“Wow.”

“It’s really beautiful.”

Everyone watched in awe as the lights moved.

When all the lights finally faded, they could confirm a faint energy lingering around Belia and Khalid.

“These two are imbued with the radiant light of the Lord. Surely, in the future they walk together, there will be difficult times. However…”

The ambassador took a small staff, one of the five relics he always carried, out of his bosom.

“Lehisin, the third bell of the Lord. As their witness, I dare to declare before the Lord’s name. Their future will be filled with blessings.”

As the ambassador finished speaking, a thunderous cheer and applause erupted.

However, within that, there were those who sat with a faint smile. Especially, the expression of the empress was very dark.

The more attention and fanfare their wedding received, the less presentable the wedding of the First Prince, which would take place in the fall, would become.

“Ronica Princess’s position was more significant than I thought.”

At first, I only considered her as the princess of a small country.

Although it was not as tiny as some small kingdoms, Ronica was still a kingdom, and compared to the Empire, it was undoubtedly a very small country.
The emperor was so concerned about Ronica that he had looked into her a bit, but the empress did not consider Belia a significant threat to them.

No matter that Ronica’s princess was the granddaughter of the ambassador, the New Kingdom was known for its closed nature, and the unwritten rule so far had been not to interfere in the affairs of other countries. So, the empress believed that the ambassador would not take any action.

‘But for the sake of my granddaughter’s wedding, he went so far as to leave the New Kingdom…!’

It was a painful mistake.

The empress clenched her fist.

Although she maintained a smiling face, she couldn’t stop her lips from trembling.

To think that the status of the Second Prince could change so much for just one woman getting married.

It was a mistake to accept without objection the emperor’s words about continuing the engagement with the Duke of Canterip.

At that moment, the emperor quietly spoke to her.

“Empress. Don’t worry too much. I will instruct you to prepare for the wedding of my First Prince more splendidly and grandly than this.”
