Chapter 59: The Wedding Celebration
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Henry led everyone to the door of the villa, and the Flame Fist mercenary who was waiting here read the deed and completed the handover with him and left. Hawke looked around briefly and said to him, "Earl, at least six male servants, twelve maids, a butler, and two cooks are needed here. In addition, such a large garden needs to be taken care of by a gardener. ”
Henry thought for a moment: "Then do as you say, try to find some reliable people, I don't want my villa to be installed in other people's eyes." ”
Hawke nodded slightly and said, "I'll pay attention to this, in addition, I have already purchased some of the birds of prey you want, most of them are ordinary mountain eagles and kestrels, and they have been put in cages and placed in the cabin." Since there were no servants for the time being, everyone had to make some simple food in the kitchen for lunch.
Anta in the afternoon. Duke Silver Shield came to the villa and walked up to Henry and his mother and hugged him: "Good afternoon, Lady Lily, and you and my dear Earl. Why are there no servants to be seen here? Isn't the council ready for you? ”
Henry nodded helplessly: "You really said that the Duke was right, but I have already asked Hawke to hire someone." Fortunately, I don't need to stay here for too long, and this villa will be my temporary stay in the city in the future. With that, he led the Duke into the drawing-room. Once everyone was seated, Amy served everyone a cup of tea. Henry frowned, because the so-called tea in the Feron Continent was actually a mint leaf. After they are brewed, they also add some messy things, which gives the whole drink a pungent taste. He swore that when he returned to his territory, he would cultivate the tea trees on the earth, and then sell them to all parts of the world to eliminate this disgusting thing.
The Duke closed his eyes and took a small sip of admiration, "It is so delicious, and the refreshing and pungent taste across the throat is a supreme pleasure." Henry suppressed his efforts not to let his lunch come out of his stomach, and then said in good conscience, "Thank you for the compliment, I also like this drink very much." ”
Anta. Silver Shield took another sip and put down his teacup: "Earl, I think we can discuss the celebration of the wedding." I know you're in a hurry to get back to the territory, so how about we speed up the process and hold it in three days? ”
Henry thought for a moment: "Is it too late to prepare for only a few days?" ”
The Duke smiled: "With the strength of the Silver Shield Family, this is not a problem at all, I have already submitted an application to the Council and received approval, and the celebration will be held in the Duke's Mansion at that time." As for the food and the scene, these should be the responsibility of the woman's family, and you don't need to worry about it. And now that you are at the height of your voice, it is good for both of our families to have a wedding during this time. ”
Henry lowered his head and thought that the whole continent would not invite any priest to witness the wedding due to the large number of gods believed, because the husband and wife often believed in different gods. The whole wedding process is probably to invite some relatives and friends to eat and drink, and then everyone will witness together, and it will be considered marriage. Three days should not be too much of a problem to prepare for a large banquet and cocktail party.
He looked up at the Duke and said, "No problem, let's do it in three days." ”
Anta. Silver Shield touched his beard: "It's been so long and so decided." By the way, my dear earl, you still have to order yourself a more gorgeous dress, you must know that you are a high nobleman, and it is not good to wear a mage robe at a wedding. ”
At this time, Lily stood up and said, "Please rest assured, I will personally order a beautiful dress for him to ensure that he will not be rude." ”
The Duke bowed slightly to Henry's mother: "Then please, ma'am, dress up your son beautifully." I'm going to say goodbye today, and we'll see you in three days at the wedding celebration. With that, he stood up and left the villa with his entourage.
When the mother saw the guests leaving, she stood up and walked up to Henry: "I didn't expect you to get married so soon, my mother is really happy for you." Now stand up and let me measure your figure, so that the dress will look good and decent. Henry sighed, he didn't want to wear those funny dresses at all.
Then he stood up and said to his mother, "Mom, I'm actually pretty good in a mage robe, you see that my archmage robe has several powerful magic attached to it, which is much more expensive than a dress. ”
Lily roughly measured his height with a rope and said, "Henry, you're going to get married instead of fighting, and no amount of expensive magical items are more flattering than a beautiful dress." ”
At this time, my sister also ran over and started to make trouble, and she said loudly to her mother, "Mom, I want a beautiful dress too." ”
The mother smiled and touched her head: "Of course my dear, when the time comes, my mother will definitely dress you up like a princess to attend your brother's wedding." Henry closed his eyes, he had given up struggling, and thought to himself, forget it, anyway, once in a lifetime.
In the evening, Hawke returned and told Henry that the servant had been hired and would arrive at the villa tomorrow to carry out his work. Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and now Henry was changing into a dress that made him uncomfortable under the supervision of his mother. The whole outfit resembles the style of 15th-century Europe on Earth, with a wide-sleeved bodice with buttons, a half-length folded blouse and tunics, and silk stockings tucked into a pair of leather shoes. This outfit made him uncomfortable, and the most terrifying thing was that the butler in charge of etiquette actually asked him to twist his ass when he walked, saying that this would increase his charm even more.
If it weren't for his mother, who was still watching, he would have sent this guy to death with a fireball spell. After getting dressed, he got on a custom-made float and drove down the street to the Duke's Palace, attracting countless onlookers along the way. Ten minutes later, the carriage arrived at its destination, and the butler sitting in front of him stepped down and opened the door for Henry, saying, "Your Excellency, your wedding scene has arrived, please get out of the carriage." ”
Henry took a deep breath and stepped out of the carriage with the mentality of going to the execution ground. "Look at our handsome groom has arrived, now applaud." Anta. Yindun said to the guests who came to watch the ceremony.
Henry walked up to the duke: "Xie Lu Xie, you must know that Lu Dao feels like I'm about to suffocate now." This dress made me very uncomfortable. ”
Duke Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, he patted Henry on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I was more nervous than you when I married Brila. In fact, it's nothing, the whole process is to take the opportunity to meet with people from other families, accept each other's blessings, and then invite everyone to have a big meal. You have to relax, a lot of people are here to see the heroes of Belgost and don't let them down. ”
Henry nodded, straightened his clothes, and followed Anta Silver Shield into the Duke's Palace. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a loud cheer from the hall, and then a large number of flower petals were scattered by the maidens from the second floor. Lady Brilla came with Sycodi, dressed in full costume,
She said to Henry, "Handsome Earl, I now hand over Sycody to you, and I wish you a happy life in the future." Then she handed the girl's hand over,
Henry replied, "Please rest assured that you and His Excellency the Duke will not fail to live up to his trust." With that, he took Sycodi's hand and walked to the center of the hall.
Henry came to the middle of the hall, took the maiden's hand and bowed deeply, and then he said to all, "I thank you first of all for coming to witness my wedding, and secondly for the trust placed in me by His Excellency the Duke, and finally for my mother, who raised me. Now I declare the wedding celebration begins! Guests are invited to enjoy a variety of food and wine. After a round of warm applause, everyone began to disperse and get together in twos and threes to start socializing and socializing.
Anta. Silver Shield came over to the newlyweds and said, "Bless you, my dear sister, and I hope you will be a good helper to the Earl in the future, and establish the foundation of his family." ”
Shi Kodi returned the salute and said, "Thank you for your blessing brother." I would be a qualified wife. ”
The Duke turned to Henry and said, "All right, Earl, now give your wife to Brilla first, and I will take you to make some new friends." ”
Henry kissed his new wife gently and said to her, "Wait here for a while, and I'll be back soon." ”
Gladi nodded at her husband and said, "Go ahead, there's Brila with me." With that, the Duke led Henry to the second floor of the hall.
Here Henry found that each duke had formed a small circle behind him, and each of them had the support of a large chamber of commerce behind him. Merchants formed alliances with dukes to defend their interests and expand their business and influence, while dukes used the funds provided by merchants to raise armies and expand their political influence. Anta. After Silver Shield introduced him to a big circle, Henry also understood who would be his allies and who would be his competitors in the future. The celebration lasted all day, and it was not until midnight that the guests dispersed.
As he was leaving, the Duke whispered to Henry, "Earl, I wish you a pleasant wedding night. ”
Brilla smiled and patted her husband, and Sycody blushed. When he returned to the villa, the butler sent everyone back to their rooms, and said to the Henrys, "My lord, I have arranged for everyone, and please rest assured that no one will disturb you tonight." With that, he took his leave.
Sitting on the bed, nervously rubbing the corners of her clothes, Henry walked over and gently lifted her chin and kissed it, and the girl responded fiercely. Henry then took off his clothes and kissed his wife on the lips, and soon the man and woman were rolling on the bed. After a while, the girl let out a scream, and then slowly turned into a burst of **. The butler nodded in satisfaction when he heard it outside the door, and turned to leave. It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that Henry fell asleep with a tired Squiddy in his arms. He slowly opened his eyes at noon the next day, and the sunlight had filled the room.
