The 15th of May was the Empire of Light's annual Easter.
Legend had it that on this day, the God of Light, who had sacrificed himself for the human race, would be resurrected and bring forth the final judgment.
Those who believed in him, followed his teachings, and spread his glory would ascend to heaven, while those who were false, evil, and heretics would fall to hell.
Thus, this day was also known as [Judgement Day].
Icestone City appeared peaceful and beautiful under the light of the morning sun.
On such a beautiful day, the master of this city was about to hold a grand wedding ceremony.
At eight o 'clock sharp, the knights of the Angele family were already waiting in front of the church's entrance.
They wore full sets of armor and luxurious robes. They held their knight swords in front of them, their gazes firm and their expressions pious.
Behind the knights was the church's choir. They all wore white priest robes and chanted hymns. At the same time, purple irises floated in the air.
Dong — — Dong — — Dong — —
Amidst the melodious sound of the bell, the church's door slowly opened. The faceless statue of the God of Light could be seen clearly in the main hall, as if it was watching everything in front of it.
The first batch of guests were nobles from the half-elf kingdom. They were led by Duke Modywin to the front of the church.
Eamon and Quincy stood on either side of the door, their faces flushed red as they greeted the guests.
Following them were the lords near Icestone City. There weren't many of them, only a mere nine people.
Perhaps it was because time was too tight that the lords further away couldn't come to watch the ceremony. Or perhaps, the Duke Of St. Hilde's rallying power was far from what it used to be …
At nine o 'clock in the morning, the Duke Of St. Hilde finally appeared.
The Dukes Of The North wore a red duke's suit today. His beard was also carefully groomed, making him look dignified and elegant.
The arrival of the Duke meant that today's male and female protagonists were about to appear. However, before that, there was a large group of bridesmaids. They were all daughters of nobles from the Northern Frontier who came to watch the ceremony. They all wore yellow evening gowns and colorful garlands on their heads.
As for the groomsman, there was only one — Baron Raymond.
This was also the first knight that Colin had met who swore loyalty to him after coming to this world. He was also the first vassal that he had personally conferred.
About eight hundred meters away from the church, two carriages pulled by four tall horses were slowly moving towards the church, one in front and one behind.
The person sitting in the carriage in front was, of course, today's groom.
Colin was wearing a simple black suit with a rose on his chest. He looked rather emotional.
They were actually getting married!
In his past life, before he transmigrated, he was still single.
Although he had had many girlfriends, he could never take the final step.
Hmm, it should be because I didn't have a strong father-in-law like the Duke Of St. Hilde in my previous life …
Just as Colin was lost in his thoughts, the carriage arrived in front of the church.
Baron Raymond stepped forward to open the door and helped Colin out.
After Colin got out of the carriage, he couldn't help but look back at the carriage behind him. Vera was inside, but of course, he couldn't see anything now.
"Viscounts, please!" Baron Raymond thought that Colin had forgotten the procedure, so he quickly reminded him.
Colin smiled and followed Raymond into the church.
As soon as he stepped through the church door and stepped on the long red carpet, the wedding march started playing.
At this time, the Duke Of St. Hilde also came to the back of the carriage and opened the door.
Today's focus, Vera, finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
She was wearing a pure white veil and an ivory wedding dress made of silk. The five-meter-long dress was spread out with layers of lace, and the silver crystals on the hem of the dress formed a beautiful arc.
Purple irises and sparkling diamonds covered the upper and lower layers of the wedding dress. The delicate and simple elements made it a perfect blend of low-key and luxurious.
The beautiful arc of the tube top made her slender waist look very slim, and half of her shoulders were exposed. There was a pure emerald on her chest that exuded a faint halo, and the same color gemstone earrings swayed slowly with her movements. The only strange thing was that Vera only wore one of her earrings, and the other one was empty.
However, the people present didn't notice this detail. Most of them were already fascinated by this girl who looked like an angel descending to earth.
Her snow-white skin looked even more delicate in the ivory wedding dress. She was wearing a pair of white lace gloves, and she was gently holding the Duke Of St. Hilde's arm as she slowly walked towards the church door.
As she walked, her slender legs were tightly wrapped in white lace stockings, and her milky white high heels inlaid with fine diamonds sparkled.
There were also two white gold and diamond chains tied around her delicate ankles, and they added more moving details to the sexy and soft lines of her beautiful legs.
The Duke Of St. Hilde held Vera's hand as they walked along the red carpet into the magnificent main hall of the church.
When they arrived in front of Colin, the Duke Of St. Hilde looked at the young man's face with a trace of emotion and nostalgia. He stopped, turned around, and said to Vera who was dressed up.
"My daughter, father will accompany you to this point."
Vera stared at the Duke, but she didn't say anything.
The thin veil couldn't completely cover her expression, but the Duke couldn't find any trace of reluctance on her face.
He sighed secretly and finally put Vera's hand in Colin's hand. He then turned around and walked down the stage.
There was a warm applause in the church, but such a lively atmosphere made the Duke Of St. Hilde look even more lonely.
His eldest son and second son had already passed away, his younger brother was defeated and captured, and his younger sister was already married. Now, Vera was also about to leave him. The Duke Of St. Hilde, who was known as the Lord of the Northern Frontier, was about to become a lonely man.
Colin's eyes stayed on the Duke's back for a few seconds before he immediately looked away. He could feel the Duke's loneliness, but he didn't feel any pity for him.
People who only had themselves to blame did not deserve any sympathy.
A thin middle-aged man wearing a white priest's robe walked in between Colin and Vera. His name was Beth, and he was the new Bishop of Icestone City after the Emeritus Bishop left.
Bishop Perth's gentle voice echoed in his ears, "Colin Angele, in poverty, in sickness, in pain, in pain, in wealth, in health, in happiness, in poverty, in sickness, in sickness, in pain, in pain, in wealth, in health, in happiness, will you stay by Vera St. Hilde's side and protect her forever?"
"I am willing," Colin replied sincerely as he looked into Vera's eyes.
"Vera St. Hilde, no matter if you are poor or sick … are you willing to stay by Colin Angele's side and stay by his side for the rest of your life?"
"I do." Vera's eyes were sparkling with tears as she made a serious vow.
"In the name of the God of Light, I officially declare you husband and wife! May the light of the Lord illuminate your future path!
Now, the bride and groom can exchange rings. "
A four or five-year-old boy ran up and handed the ring box to the newcomers.
However, Colin did not take the box from the boy's hands. Instead, he took out a sapphire earring from his chest pocket.
When Vera saw the earring, she could no longer control her emotions. She had mixed feelings and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
Colin smiled gently as he lifted Vera's veil. He gently wiped away her tears before putting the earring on her head.
The people who were watching the ceremony were obviously confused. Logically speaking, there should not be such a part of the wedding process.
However, this small part that only belonged to Colin and Vera was the real proof of their love.
The scene where they fought side by side at the Rapids River and sacrificed themselves to save each other appeared in front of their eyes again.
Bishop Beth coughed softly as if he was reminding the newlyweds not to forget the proper wedding process.
Fortunately, Colin did not want to be too unconventional. After putting the earring on Vera's head, he picked up the ring box and put the rings on both of them.
Bishop Beth heaved a sigh of relief as if his mission had finally been completed. He then announced loudly, "Now, the groom can kiss his bride!"
As soon as Vera heard the bishop's words, she closed her eyes and stood on her tiptoes as she leaned forward.
Colin was a little nervous for a moment.
However, when he looked at the pretty face in front of him, he finally took a step forward and kissed the girl's red lips.
It was very sweet.
