As the wedding approaches, the festive atmosphere in Ice Rock City is getting stronger.

However, the marriage between Colin and Vera is somewhat hasty, and together with the ongoing unrest in the North Territory, it is foreseen that the wedding won’t be particularly grand.

The invitations have already been sent out, but with such short notice, only a few nearby lords will probably make it in time for the wedding.

Butler Emon has been extremely busy these days preparing for the wedding, so Tax Commissioner Quincy has temporarily set aside his work to help Emon relieve some pressure.

Fortunately, Ice Rock City doesn’t lack laborers now. The slaves who are grateful to Colin were excited upon hearing that their lord was about to marry Miss Vera, and they have been working with more enthusiasm than ever.

In just three to four days, hundreds of livestock have been slaughtered, and piles of barley, vegetables, and fruits have been sent to the storage room. Honey, cheese, butter, and barrels of fine wine are also ready, waiting for the entire city to celebrate the wedding day and bless the lord and his new lady together.

According to the traditions of the Glorious Empire, the wedding ceremonies of nobles are always held in Glorious Church.

The Glorious Church of Ice Rock City is located on the east side of the castle. The interior of the church is entirely built of marble, and the blue and white dome, supported by eighteen giant columns, is more than one hundred meters high.

Now these columns are all adorned with festive white flower wreaths, and the paintings on the dome depicting the stories of the First Holy Knight have been cleaned, looking brand new.

A ten-meter-high arched doorway, which is only opened for important ceremonies, stands in front of the church, adorned with a magnificent bronze statue. It was the image of the founding emperor of the Glorious Empire, the only Eighth Circle Holy Knight recorded in history, Gana St. Lorenzo.

The knight’s sword in his hand shone with a chilling glow under the sunlight, as if ready to swing down at any moment. His majestic face was so brilliantly carved that it inspired reverence.

“Viscount Angler, you need to stay under the statue of King Gana for ten seconds.” Scholar Doan was instructing Colin about the wedding etiquette. “Yes, right under the knight’s sword. Good, stop moving, place your left hand over your heart, eyes straight ahead.”

Colin just did as he was told, like a statue.

“Good, Viscount, now follow my steps into the church Yes, don’t rush your steps, be more composed, very good!”

The wedding ceremony was not complicated, but the strict Scholar Doan insisted on rehearsing with Colin ten times until there was absolutely no mistake before he finally let Colin go.

“Viscount Angler, let’s end the rehearsal here for today. Please review it again when you go back. If you have any questions, feel free to consult me at any time.”

“Alright.” Colin immediately let out a sigh of relief. He felt that holding a wedding was even more exhausting than fighting on the battlefield. He just wanted to go back and rest now

After a few steps, Colin heard sounds coming from the church side hall and asked, “Is Vera practicing over there?”

“Yes.” Scholar Doan seemed to see through Colin’s intentions, and quickly advised, “Viscount, according to customs, you are not supposed to see the bride before the wedding.”

“Alright.” Colin felt somewhat helpless and could only suppress the urge in his heart and walk out obediently.

But deep down, he was already thinking about whether he should sneak into Vera’s room at night.

The two hadn’t seen each other for several days, and Colin suddenly missed the scent of the young girl.

In the side hall of the church.

Vera, wearing a long white vertical buttoned dress, was slowly stepping up the stairs under the guidance of her half-elf maid Kathy.

A white veil was draped over her head, and a long train was deliberately dragged behind her to simulate the wedding dress of the day.

However, it’s indeed a bit tricky to walk with a five or six-meter long train trailing behind.

“Is this okay?” Vera stood on the stage, looking back at Kathy.

Seeing the long train forming a perfect semi-circle on the steps, Kathy finally nodded satisfactorily: “Yes, Miss.”

Vera let out a sigh, couldn’t help but lift her skirt to show the slender thighs wrapped in flesh-colored silk stockings, apparently feeling a bit stuffy.

Taking this opportunity, Kathy stepped forward to help her straighten the diamond chain hanging on her velvet boots, suggesting in her voice, “Miss, shall we take a rest and run through the process one more time?”

“Alright.” Vera nodded, listening attentively, and noticed the surrounding main hall had entirely quieted down, announcing that Colin’s rehearsal had ended.

She glanced at the half-elf maid standing at one side with her hands tied and suddenly asked, “Kathy, why did you relinquish your baronial position in the Half-Elf Kingdom and would rather serve as an ordinary maid in the Red Castle?”

Kathy’s face tightened; she knew she would eventually be confronted with this question from the future mistress of the Red Castle.

Moreover, she knew she must handle it carefully.

Vera would undoubtedly be more concerned than Colin about her possible ulterior motives.

“Miss, my decision to stay by Viscount Angler’s side was actually to explore the Bright Moon Forest with his assistance.”

Bright Moon Forest?” Vera looked surprisedly at the half-elf maid, “Isn’t that place forbidden now? It’s said that no one who has entered has ever left alive.”

“Indeed. However, an ancient prophecy is written in the Savoy family’s scripture

When the comet rends the sky, a knight in red armor will open the forbidden forest’s door.”

A knight in red armor?” Vera frowned slightly, “You think the knight is referring to Colin?”

Kathy nodded, scenes of Colin’s bloody battle outside Silver Moon City emerging in her mind.

Vera pondered, noticing that Colin indeed had a fondness for the color red. The main color of his armor was red, the castle was called Red Castle, and he even discussed changing the main color scheme of the family emblem to red.

“With just this information, you believe Colin is the knight from prophecy?”

Kathy hesitated for a moment before posing a question to Vera, “Miss, have you noticed that Sir has become a fourth-order knight in less than two years since starting as a knight apprentice?”

Vera then realized Colin’s terrifying advancement in power.

His performance isn’t inferior to the genius ancestors recorded in the St. Hilde family who had reached the Holy Field layer.

Deducing this way, Colin has a chance of being the knight mentioned in the Savoy family prophecy.

And thus, Kathy’s choice to stay by Colin’s side is understandable.

She planned to exploit Colin’s power to hunt for the Elves’ lost secret.

This secret, indeed, interests the once royally regarded Savoy family of the Half-Elf Kingdom far more than a mere Baron title.

To tell the truth, Vera was also curious about the secret to the Elves’ disappearance.

The Elves, as the first race to unravel the mystery of arcane, hold significant weight in every Yevir Mage’s heart.

“May I look at the Savoy family’s scripture?” Vera asked.

“Of course, Miss. I’ll send a message back to Silver Moon City immediately to have a copy delivered here.”

“Hmm, thank you.”

“You are too courteous.”

Kathy discreetly sighed in relief, knowing she had been accepted by the future mistress of the Red Castle.
