In late autumn, the Duchy of Carcassonne, the Cathedral of the Fairy in the Lake.

Tomorrow is the wedding ceremony of Ryan and Suria. Hundreds of great nobles from the empire, Britannia, and other races of order, as well as senior elders with high status, gathered to participate in this event. A grand wedding.

Deep and wide, the cathedral covers an area of ​​more than one hectare, and songs praising the fairies of the lake are chanted everywhere. A large group of holy grail knights gather here, and they go back and forth, praying to the fairies of the lake here day and night, while guarding Every day, a large group of nobles and commoners come here for pilgrimage to this church, but many people privately believe that the fairies in the lake will not favor this overly luxurious temple, because there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and the goddess prefers to be clean.

The colorful glass reflects the main entrance of the cathedral. The large arch is 9 meters high and is only opened during important ceremonies. The interior of the cathedral is all made of marble, and there are magnificent bronze statues. The blue and white dome is as high as more than 100 Meters, weighing tens of thousands of tons, supported by eight huge stone pillars, the inside of the dome depicts the great achievements of the Holy Grail Knights and the teachings of the fairies in the lake. and the story of the twelve original Holy Grail Knights.

Now, the rehearsal in the cathedral is the last stage.

"Come on, Lord Ryan, please follow me to do this action, yes, lean in a little bit, calm down, okay, very good." An old gentleman who looks about fifty years old is teaching Ryan the etiquette in the wedding, Ryan But like a wooden man, he will do what the old gentleman says.

The wedding ceremony is not complicated, and has been rehearsed several times. Both Ryan and Suria have memorized the entire ceremony process by heart, and they will never make a fool of themselves.

"Okay, very good ~ Your Excellency Ryan, please recall again. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If you have any arrangements, you can also order them at any time." After confirming that Ryan has no problems with etiquette, the old gentleman said with satisfaction Nodding again and again.

"Thank you, Mr. Henderson, I think I will." Ryan shrugged a little tiredly: "But I want to take a rest now. I think I have repeated the wedding process at least thirty times."

"Oh, Your Excellency Ryan, you must not think so. Tomorrow is a happy day for you and Miss Suria. Most of the dukes and envoys from all parties will come to see you! If there is any disrespect, That is the most regrettable thing, especially for Miss, it is very likely to be once in a lifetime!" The old gentleman chattered, "Surely you don't want Miss to leave any regrets, do you?"

"Okay, you won." Ryan could only do so helplessly.

The other side of the main hall of the church.

"Pfft~ It's really rare for Ryan to look like this." Suria, who was wearing a white water lily wavy fog vertical button skirt, couldn't help laughing, and the female knight smiled and said to her maid Sylvia: "It's rare that Ryan is willing to do this. "

"Miss~" Suria's maid Sylvia blushed, "Why did Your Excellency appoint Mr. Henderson as your butler? I always thought he was a little..."

"What's the matter? Like to bully others? Like to show off his old-fashioned rules?" Surya raised her straight long legs wrapped in flesh-colored thick pantyhose, and there were thin diamond chains hanging on her black suede boots. What Sylvia wanted to say.

"Hmm..." The maid was still blushing, the lady was really going to get married, and she was a dowry.

"Yes, Henderson is indeed an old gentleman who likes to chatter, and he especially likes to emphasize his origin and family status, but have you ever seen him make things difficult for Ryan?" Suria continued to ask.

"How dare he embarrass His Excellency Ryan?" Sylvia disapproved.

Who is Lane? Now in this country, who would dare to trouble him? The maid has always firmly believed that only Ryan is worthy of her own lady.

"Yes, Mr. Henderson doesn't dare to embarrass Ryan, but that doesn't mean he won't embarrass Ryan's men,

Father arranged him into my servant group... for me, father doesn't want me to be bullied, do you understand? "Su Liya covered her face, the expression on her face was a little helpless.

Is the Cavaliers happy with this marriage?

There is no doubt that Surya is still very satisfied with this marriage, because she can't find a better one.

But looking back, has the relationship between her and Ryan really reached the point where they can get married?

No.

No matter how you look at it, the marriage between Suria and Ryan is still a political marriage. The female knight feels that the relationship between herself and Ryan has just been confirmed, and even the time to enter a passionate relationship is very short. This marriage was confirmed early, no matter Whether it's the fairy in the lake or my own father, I can't wait.

Most of the women in this kind of political marriage are unhappy. Needless to say, the reason is needless to say, especially for the duke’s concubine, she has a whole team independent of the man and has independent financial power. She does not need to rely on others, and politics It is better if the marriage partners are of equal status, but if the status is not equal and the man's status is lower, then it will be hard.

The housekeeper often becomes a thorn in the side of the couple, because some stubborn housekeepers will feel that the young lady is wrong in this way or in that way, and come out to criticize it every now and then.

The situation is different this time. The whole old world knows who Ryan is. He is a ruthless man who cannot be offended by the housekeeper, but Francois chose him.

Ryan can't afford to offend, it doesn't mean that Ryan's men can't afford to offend, he wants to guarantee his daughter's freedom to the greatest extent.

From this incident alone, Su Liya could see her father's good intentions, and she could only accept it silently.

"Hey~" Su Liya sighed softly. The merger brought about by this simple upper-level combination is very unreliable. Whether she and her team can integrate into Ryan's territory depends on Ryan's methods.

(The most typical example is Spain. In 1137, the King of Aragon married his daughter to the Earl of Barcelona, ​​which led to the merger of Catalonia and the Kingdom of Aragon. In 1469, Prince Ferdinand II and the King of Castile, Queen Yi Sabella's marriage directly led to the merger of the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Aragon, and this led to the creation of Spain, but the simple merger of the upper class does not mean that the lower class civilians also accept it. The Catalans have been fighting for independence for hundreds of years. This reason.)

…………

Early the next morning, this grand wedding ceremony, which has attracted worldwide attention, began.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the first guests arrived at the Cathedral of the Fairy of the Lake in gorgeous gowns.

A full two hundred Holy Grail Knights and dozens of Lake God prophets have been waiting in line. The Holy Grail Knights are fully armed, with gold and silver armor, gorgeous gowns, and high morale. Every Holy Grail Knight keeps chanting hymns, The lake gods and prophets, dressed in white and skirts, sprinkled purple and golden irises in the air.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

The bells rang, and the doors of the church opened slowly. Today, distinguished guests from the old world and the new world will gather together.

The first batch of guests were close relatives of Ryan or Suria, mainly the Norman family and the Francois family. The elderly Norman couple walked into the auditorium first with the help of the waiter, and then Francois The family, Duke Winford, is wearing a red Britannia silk Grand Duke dress today, with a joyful smile on his face: "Hello, Mrs. Norman, Mrs. Norman."

"You... hello, Your Excellency François, Duchess Kumani." The little old man was very lacking in confidence when facing the tall, elegant and calm Francois, and his territory might not have Francois A baron under Watts is big, but Norman knows that he must not bow his head at this time.

Even though he was ashamed and sighed, Norman still tried his best to straighten his waist, and stretched out his hand: "It's an honor."

"Me too." Francois reached out to shake hands with Norman, and the Duke smiled freely, not caring about Norman's compulsion.

"Hello! Your Excellency Norman, Mrs. Norman." Julius, the brother-in-law of Ryan, was also in a good mood today, and he offered to extend his hand.

But this is not the end.

"A demigod?!" The hundreds of guests in the venue all opened their mouths.

"Angron, on behalf of the World Eaters of the Twelfth Legion, offer my blessings to my brother, Ryan Malcador, may his blade be sharp forever!" A red dress with golden teeth tattooed on the cuffs The patterned Angron then entered the venue.

"Another demigod!"

"Clarkson...on behalf of the Raven Guard...best wishes for brothers...victory." Clarkson, wearing a white dress with a pale face and black wings, entered lightly.

Six brothers, six demigods.

Many guests sitting in the church hall are still wondering why Ryan's brothers look completely different, but the strong people in the venue, including the two hundred holy grail knights who are in charge of guarding the order, and the prophets of the lake god Trembling, sweating profusely.

The supreme mage Teclis felt that he was covered in cold sweat. He whispered to the elf girl sitting beside him, "Is this your plan? Lilith?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would I choose Ryan as my future partner?" The elf girl was the lake fairy Lilith. She made some simple disguises and grandly attended Ryan's wedding as a guest.

"According to the legend, only those with supreme power will make each of his children completely different. Because he is too powerful, his offspring cannot inherit his abilities completely, but focus on inheriting certain aspects." Tiger Rees whispered: "I don't know who Ryan's biological father is, but...Look at it this way, Lilith, you are playing with fire, maybe you can't control Ryan at all."

"Everything is according to my plan, Teclis." The fairy in the lake was also a little shaken when she saw this scene, the goddess gritted her teeth, and said calmly: "It was I who arranged for Suria to marry him a long time ago." It's planned."

On the other side, under everyone's shocked eyes, several Primarchs opened a large box made of gold, and ten golden lights pierced the sky. This is the dowry gift from the emperor to his daughter-in-law!

It is engraved with countless defensive spells and plastered with finely crafted vibrating gold plate armor written by the emperor himself!

Nine sets of jewelry worth astronomical figures, each set exudes the brilliance of a divine weapon!

"Wow!" The guests in the venue looked dull.

Nine sets of artifact jewellery, and a set of vibrating gold plate armor? !

What is Ryan's biological father?

"Is this also in your plan, Lilith?" Teclis was a little dizzy in surprise, and he hurriedly asked the fairy in the lake.

"Oops... Oops." The fairy in the lake couldn't calm down now, the beautiful goddess' face was pale, and her little hands on her lap were trembling: "There was a mistake in the plan, it's over, now these belong to Surya gone."

"These things should belong to me."
