Chapter 1714: The Grand Wedding
Chapter 1714: The Grand Wedding The High Priest smiled and was about to speak when a wave of footsteps suddenly cfrom outside the door.
A pleasant laughter echoed through the room.
"Sorry, I'm late." Upon hearing this familiar voice, everyone in the room froze.
After a momentary pause, everyone turned their heads and looked towards the direction of the door with either joy or cold stares.
Then they were completely stunned.
A group of people walked in gracefully. At their head were the monarch and his wife. Selena followed closely behind them, holding someone's hand...
When Stanley saw that man's face clearly, he clenched his fists tightly. Lillian's expression turned cold as her gaze fixed on Osvaldo with a chilling chill in her eyes.
In one of the seats at the back row, a young girl exclaimed in disbelief as she covered her mouth: "He... how could he be with the queen?" The man sitting next to her also looked shocked but at sthad an unsurprised feeling. That kind of man obviously cfrom an extraordinary background. If it weren't for owing his father a favor, he would never listen to anyone else's words.
Fortunately, besides sstubborn sisters, no one has ever offended him.
Amidst the complex and curious gazes of the crowd, Selena held Osvaldo's hand and followed her parents step by step up to the stage.
Selena looked at the high priest and said, "I'm sorry for worrying you, High Priest. I had a little accident and went to talk to my parents for a while." The high priest looked at the young man who cwith Selena holding hands.
The man was handswith deep black eyes that quietly gazed at Selena. He was calm yet obsessed with an aura of darkness that made people shudder.
He was a man who could match Stanley in every aspect.
Oh well, As long as Her Majesty is willing to marry him and indulges in schoices, it won't hurt anyone.
The high priest smiled and said, "Your Majesty should remember to inform those around you before leaving next tso as not to disturb others." Selena smiled back then turned around facing everyone saying,"Thank you all for coming to my wedding. Letintroduce him - his nis Osvaldo; he's my... " She gently hugged Osvaldo's arm tenderly yet solemnly announcing it loudly,"Groom!" Osvaldo's deep black eyes stared motionlessly at Selena then suddenly ignited fiercely in this moment.
He reached out his hand embracing Selena into his arms then lowered his head kissing her lips deeply.
After several seconds of silence passed by nobody knew who started clapping first but soon thunderous applause echoed throughout the venue.
Although she didn't know why the groom had been changed halfway through, the new groom brought by Her Majesty was a rare beauty. He looked like he cfrom an extraordinary background and standing next to Her Majesty made him even more eye-catching.
Stanley watched this scene and suddenly closed his eyes.
After the kiss, Selena's dark eyes curved up. She turned her head to look at Madam Samantha and His Majesty.
"Father, mother..." His Majesty looked at the young couple without saying a word.
Madam Samantha looked at her daughter in her wedding dress with slightly red eyes. She remembered what Selena had said when she cback to see her: "Selena has grown up and can get married now..." She took a step forward slowly, gently brushing Selena's cheek with her hand. "Selena has grown up and can get married now..." Selena looked into her mother's reddened eyes, feeling both worried and reluctant as complex emotions flooded over her heart. She trembled slightly as she spoke: "Mother..." Madam Samantha held Selena's hand while grabbing Osvaldo's other hand before slowly placing Selena's hand in Osvaldo's palm.
She gazed at Osvaldo with sdifficulty before saying: "I am entrusting my daughter to you; please treat her well." Osvaldo tightened his grip on their hands without any wavering in his tone of voice or expression on his deep black eyes that shone with something unforgettable: "I will love her with my life." Madam Samantha took a deep breath then turned sideways to receive the crown handed over by one of the maidservants before carefully placing it on top of Selina's head herself while gently fixing every strand of hair out of place along with adjusting every part of clothing that needed attention before turning around walking away.
His majesty watched their hands clasped together then met his daughter's expectant gaze as he shifted it towards Osvaldo asking calmly yet lightly: "Who do you love most in your life?" "Selina." "How important is she to you?" "She is more important than my own life." "What can you do for her?" "Everything I have belongs to her!" The monarch's gaze returned to Selena's face, staring at his daughter's flower-like small face for a long time.
Finally, he smiled slowly and said, "If he ever mistreats you in the future, remember to chome." At this moment, Selena clearly felt the favoritism from both her father and mother.
She blinked and smiled, "Daddy, I will definitely be very happy in the future." In the year 2072 of the Empire calendar, the queen got married and the whole country celebrated.
Every household in Central City closed their windows. On the asphalt road leading to the palace gates was a red carpet that extended as far as one could see. The branches on either side of it were adorned with colorful ribbon flowers while fresh flowers filled every corner.
The streets were crowded with people dressed in beautiful festive clothes who watched this magnificent wedding ceremony with amazement and joy.
Blessings filled every corner of this grand occasion.
Inside one of King's most majestic palaces stood tall columns made of white jade that reached up into sky towards carvings of majestic guardian beasts on top. It was an awe-inspiring sight.
With kind eyes and a gentle smile on his face, a priest looked at newlyweds before him solemnly asking: "Your Majesty Queen - do you vow to stay loyal to Mr. Anderson through poverty or wealth; sickness or health; forsaking all others until death do you part?" Selena looked at Osvaldo beside her - meeting his tender yet passionate gaze - feeling an unprecedented sense of joy and anticipation welling up inside her heart. She smiled sweetly before answering: "I do." "Mr. Anderson, do you want to marry Her Majesty the Queen, love and cherish her through war and separation, and remain loyal to her?" Osvaldo gazed deeply at the girl beside him, his eyes almost pulling her soul out of her body and into his heart where it would forever be entwined with his own.
He reached out and grasped Selena's slender shoulders, his gaze darkly intense yet tinged with a tenderness that was reserved only for her.
"I do," he said with a smirk on his lips.
Selena's heart swelled as she felt the overflowing joy and deep affection in this man's heart. She smiled back at him with love in her eyes before turning towards the priest on stage.
As they exchanged vows, Selena took Osvaldo's hand in hers. And then suddenly at one moment, they both turned around together...
