When the marriage of Cardinal Peter Scanrel was announced to be over, the wedding guide holding the ring put the ring on the Bible in Peter's hand. This pair of virgins and virgins who were specially selected were devout Christians, Their performances are also generous, without stage fright.

After placing the rings on the Bible, the two children stepped aside, and Peter then began to consecrate the rings: "Let us pray, creator and sustainer of mankind, giver of spiritual glory, eternal salvation The giver of God, the Lord God, bless this ring so that its wearer may be armed with the defenses of heaven for her salvation, Amen." Then Peter himself handed the ring to Richard, The latter held the ring with his right hand, grabbed Stephanie's right hand with his left hand, and said solemnly: "I use this ring to marry you, I will give you gold and silver, I will respect you with my body, and I will use everything in the world to marry you." I respect you for your property. In addition, I will give you Hills Town (Refugee Town) on Cuban Island and the nearby territories."

It is the tradition of the nobles in the middle ages for both parties to marry each other. The woman will give a generous dowry. In exchange, the man will give the woman the so-called morning gift, just as the morning gift received by Queen Kunigund of Henry II is Bambe land near grid.

Then, Richard put three gold rings on Stephanie's three fingers one by one. The gold reflected the dazzling light under the light in the church, making Stephanie's fingers more slender and fairer. After putting on the ring, Richard and Stephanie knelt down in front of the altar and bowed their heads under Peter Scanrel's gesture. According to Christian tradition, they will pray and ask God to bless today's wedding

"Let us bow our heads and pray, Almighty and eternal God, our actions and survival depend on you. Please give us a pure heart and a righteous spirit. Don't let selfish desires stop us from knowing your will, and don't let weakness stop us from obeying. Your will, so that we can see the light in your light and be truly free in you through Jesus Christ. Please be with us at this moment and bless our gathering today according to your faithfulness, Now and forever. Amen."

After the prayers, Richard and Stephanie were led by Peter to stand up, followed him into the nave of the church, and held the wedding mass.

...

That night, after Bishop Peter, who came to bless the marriage bed, left, Richard and Stephanie lay on the bed together. They clenched their left hands tightly, palms close to each other, as if they could feel the beating of each other's heart through their palms. "Stephanie," Richard said softly, "I've been dreaming all day that we're really a legal couple."

"Me too, all of this is so unreal." Stephanie responded in a low voice. While she was speaking, fireworks exploded outside the window from time to time, which was the celebration of the residents of Nuremberg.

In order to celebrate this day, Richard took out all the fireworks in his inventory and set them off outside Nuremberg. Standing outside, looking up at the beautiful fireworks that bloom from time to time in the night sky.

And those foreign guests who came thousands of miles away are no exception. Although most of them are nobles, their knowledge of gunpowder is no different from that of ordinary people. The people who added it also temporarily put down their hatred, looking at this scene that may only be seen once in a lifetime.

And Richard and Stephanie, also in the explosion of fireworks, gradually entered a state of ecstasy, and their souls were sublimated in each collision...

...

the next day.

With deep memories of Richard's wedding, the guests bid farewell and left by boat.

However, there are also some people who choose to stay a few more days to inspect the customs of Cuban Island, or develop a relationship with Richard to see if they can gain any benefits for their country.

With this intention in mind, Richard welcomed a prince from a neighboring country.

Dubois Rodney, the first heir to the Kingdom of Lusino and the only heir of the old king, out of curiosity about the reborn Stuart Dynasty, he went to invite him personally, and Facts have proved that his decision is correct.

Let’s talk about the Lucino Kingdom. The Lucino Kingdom is located in the west of the Leon Territory of the Winster Kingdom and the northern part of the Mabuku Territory of the Ravana Kingdom. Its national strength is not strong, and it can only be said to be mediocre. There are only three earldoms in the country.

This is also the reason why the Lushino people began to worry after seeing that Winster and Ravana were about to become the United Kingdom. They had a part of their land sandwiched between the two countries. If Richard coveted that part of the land, they would be finished— —With their strength, even the Kingdom of Ravana can't beat them, let alone face the attacks of two kingdoms at the same time.

"Good day, Your Majesty Richard, I will never forget your wedding to Queen Ravana."

Standing in the hall, facing Richard who was seated on the main seat, Prince Du Bois stroked his chest gracefully and said at the same time.

"Good day, His Royal Highness Prince Du Bois, I hope Nuremberg can give you the best memories." Richard also got up and replied, and then he raised his hand to signal the attendants in the palace to prepare a chair for Du Bois.

After the foreign prince took his seat, Richard continued: "Then, Your Highness, please explain your purpose for coming."

"As you wish, Your Majesty the King." Du Bois said, "In the past few days in Nuremberg, I have deeply felt the strength of your country. As the sages said, the strong are always admired by others. Therefore, On behalf of the Kingdom, I would like to make a proposal to you that will benefit the people of both countries: form an alliance, let us be allies who advance and retreat together, and we share common interests."

After finishing speaking, Du Bois watched Richard's reaction without any trace, trying to judge what he was going to say next through his expression, but he was disappointed, Richard still had the same expression on his face. smiley emoticon.

"His Royal Highness Prince Du Bois, I don't think our two countries share common interests, so please allow me to refuse the alliance." "Your Majesty, please don't rush to refuse, let me explain the interests of the alliance between the two countries." It's never too late to refuse." Du Bois said without haste, looking at his confident expression, it seems that the alliance between the two countries is inevitable.

Seeing this, Richard was a little interested. He crossed his fingers, held his chin, and said with great interest, "Your Highness, I am all ears."
