Other than appearing happier, A Qi behaved very naturally about the upcoming wedding. Perhaps to her, human love was just a small part of life. Only by immersing herself in the ocean of magical knowledge could she embrace the vast future.
Or perhaps.
She still didn't know what love was.
Liszt, however, was suppressing his excitement and trying to appear as calm as A Qi. He looked forward to the deepest level of communication with A Qi after the wedding. Perhaps this idea had been rooted in his mind from the first time he saw A Qi. He just had enough patience to wait.
Swish, swish, swish.
He signed his name on the document with the new signature pen and stamped it with the latest magic anti-counterfeiting label. Liszt signaled the secretary to send the document to the outer pavilion.
He leaned back in his chair and turned around to face the window of the study.
Looking out from here, he could see the entire Fire Kingdom. The triumphal arch in the center of the kingdom was particularly conspicuous. On top of it, there was a huge statue of him. Unlike other kings, his authority could be seen everywhere in the Fire Kingdom. Rather than a Knight system, it was more like a semi-feudal and semi-centralized system.
His authority not only covered the immediate territories, but also extended to the territories of the feudal nobles. He had absolute jurisdiction in taxation, law, and education.
"The war machine of the kingdom is already operating at high speed. The assembly and training of the Orders of chivalry are in full swing. Bard has also basically completed the exploration of the natural nodes in the Eagle Kingdom … After my wedding with A Qi, it will be the real beginning of the dragon-slaying battle. "
…
Other than the normal dragon riding training, Liszt devoted most of his time to the wedding preparations. A Qi had to hurry to crack the mystery of the Moon Teleportation Array, so the wedding preparations had to be undertaken by Liszt. Of course, more of it was the joint preparation of the outer pavilion, the cabinet, and the internal court.
He was mainly responsible for nodding and shaking his head, and then receiving the gifts from the nobles. He had thought that at this moment, the three kingdoms would not send gifts.
Unexpectedly, although the three kingdoms did not send gifts, the duchies sent gifts in secret.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of gifts secretly sent by the Grand Duchy of Rose. Please check." The secretary handed over a list with a long list of densely packed records.
The most eye-catching ones were the Red Dragon Water and the Platinum Magic Potion. There was a huge batch of each.
"The Red and White Rose Family is still so generous. After I destroy the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom, allow the Grand Duchy of Rose to exist as my vassal state." He made a decision in his heart. He had a good impression of Mashu, the prince who liked to use money and magic potions.
Then, the secretary handed over another list. "Your Majesty, this is the list of gifts secretly sent by the Chrysoberyl Duchy. Please check them."
The Gold-Emerald Duchy was a vassal state of the Eagle Kingdom. There was a Gold-Emerald Dragon in the country, but the king was not a Dragon Knight.
Liszt glanced at it and immediately frowned. "Flour, animal skins, and a bunch of gemstones. Are these my wedding gifts, or are you trying to embarrass me?"
He threw the list away.
The Chrysoberyl Duchy could choose not to send gifts, but if they did send gifts, they couldn't be too shabby. This wasn't communication, it was mockery. "There's no need for the Chrysoberyl Duchy to exist anymore."
After a while, he read the list of gifts sent by the six vassal states. According to the value, two of the duchies could be kept appropriately, and the other four were no longer necessary. As for the duchies that did not send gifts, they were also classified as unnecessary.
"Has the gift from the royal family of Yellowstone Plain arrived yet?"
"Your Majesty, it has not yet been received."
"What about the gift from the Snowstorm Duchy?"
"I just connected with Realgar City through the magic platform. The gift from the Snowstorm Duchy has just passed through the magic gate of Realgar City and arrived in Jade City. The gift list has not been sent yet."
Liszt nodded. "The gifts from the nobles in the country, according to their titles and territories. You and the secretaries have to carefully compare them, arrange them in an order, and then give them to me. Do you understand?"
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
After the secretary left, another secretary knocked on the door and came in. "Your Majesty, Her Highness Emily is asking to see you."
"Ask her to come in."
Soon Emily came into the study and said to the secretary, "You can leave first."
"Yes, Your Highness." The secretary took his leave.
Emily quickly walked in front of Liszt and solemnly greeted him. Although the two were lovers, she still strictly followed the etiquette a follower should have towards their lord.
"It's been a while since I last saw you, Emily. How's Hippolyta's studies?" Liszt asked with a smile.
"Sister Hippolyta studies very hard. With Aoun's guidance, I only need to give her some pointers. Her battle prowess is currently skyrocketing, but she still needs to put in more effort to become a perfect Dragon Knight. I was going to ask her to come with me, but she refused. "
"It seems that my wedding with A Qi had some effect on her."
"She's still young, Your Majesty. She'll accept this after she gets some time to relax." She walked over and slowly sat on Liszt's lap. "Your Majesty, even Hippolyta and I, the Dragon Knight, have to look up to your nobility. Only Lady A Qi is the most suitable candidate for the throne."
"Don't undervalue yourself. It's just that A Qi and I got to know each other first." Liszt stroked Emily's hair. In fact, the first person he got to know was Paris.
However, there were some words that didn't matter if they were true or not. It was fine as long as they sounded nice.
"His Majesty and Her Excellency A Qi's wedding, I'm a little troubled, I don't know how to prepare a gift." Emily said as she leaned on Liszt's chest.
"You know A Qi's personality. She doesn't care what gifts you give her. As for me, do you need gifts to maintain our relationship? Don't worry. Just leave it to your butler." Emily was a Marquise of Jade Stone City, and she had her own castle.
There was a butler in the castle, as well as a group of Knight Followers to manage the territory for her.
She listened to Liszt's heartbeat and replied, "Yes."
…
The wedding was held as scheduled on June 1st. A grand celebration was held in Fire Kingdom. People sang and danced to celebrate His Majesty's marriage to the noble and pure Queen.
The real wedding ceremony was held in the Palace of Stars and Sun. Only the ambassadors of various countries and great nobles could watch.
As a spirit of the sea, A Qi didn't have a family. To make up for this, Liszt personally asked the dragon to send the seven mermaids from the sea. The mermaids couldn't go ashore, but they could stay in a large artificial lake in Sun Moon Valley.
A red carpet extended from the artificial lake to the "magic elevator" of the Palace of Stars and Sun Moon.
When the auspicious moment arrived, the great nobles and a few civilian representatives standing on both sides of the red carpet stared eagerly at the calm lake.
The band played a cheerful wedding march.
Suddenly.
The calm lake split from the center, and a staircase made of water appeared step by step. The six mermaids swam to the two sides of the staircase and gently waved their hands, condensing beautiful water sculptures to decorate the staircase. A moment later, at the climax of the first part of the wedding march, the seventh mermaid appeared.
On her shoulder stood the petite A Rhoides Truth, who was dressed in a pure white wedding gown and had an indescribably noble and beautiful appearance.
Gently, A Qi stepped onto the water staircase from the mermaid's shoulder.
At that moment, the Arcanists hiding around the lake quickly cast the magic they had prepared, and the entire sky exploded with countless colorful magic flowers. A Qi, who was walking on the water, became the only focus in Sun Moon Valley, so noble that one couldn't look at her directly.
