Crimson Overlord

Chapter 215 Bonus : Memory of the Past 3: Their Wedding 1

It was morning, the last day of the year. The Blake Estate was livelier than it had ever been in the last decades, and the reason was the wedding of the Master of this family.

Hundreds of workers of the Estate had been working for the last two days to prepare for today, and now they were going through the last bit of preparations.

The day had a festive atmosphere to it, and everyone was wearing colorful dresses. There were fifty children, who were enjoying the light snowfall out in the open, singing carols and wedding songs and they filled the stands.

At noon, the Blake Guards performed a horseback parade, circling the Garden where the Wedding Stage was set, and then they took their positions waiting for the guests to enter the Garden.

A signal was sent to the Main Gate and then the Guest Houses and all the Guests soon approached the Garden in their carriages. There were some young ones already present in the Garden since the morning, enjoying the festivities, which included preparations for the later dances, traditional songs, and other performances.

There were several bonfires set up in the Garden, which provided enough warmth even in the cold weather, and soon the Guests were guided to their reserved places which bore their names and the names of their Families.

The Master of Ceremony kept announcing the names of the guests that arrived, and as soon as they took their seats in their places, the Maids and Butlers served them wine and snacks to enjoy as they watched the Performances taking place on the stage.

On the boundary of the Garden were the stands, set up for hundreds of workers of the Blake Estate and their families, who were here to witness the wedding of their Master. And they were all having the time of their lives as they happily cheered for the performances and enjoyed the snacks.

Soon the bride's convoy arrived.

Dozens of young men in white robes, wearing swords on their waists, marched into the Garden, and then they parted, taking positions, and through them walked a beautiful fairy that suffocated the hearts of everyone with her beauty.

Emea was dressed in a golden and silver traditional wedding dress, embedded with emeralds and platinum linings. A dress that embraced modesty and the modern style at the same time, without showing an inch of her skin, and it looked perfect on the fairy that was wearing it.

The women were sighing in envy, and the men could not bear looking at the bride, eventually lowering their eyes in respect.

There was just a presence oozing out of Emea that made her seem like an unattainable dream to the Mortals, and when she took the stage and turned to the guests, the tiara on her head sparkled in the light. She looked just like a princess, a real-life princess that outshined every princess in the fairy tales. And right behind her stood her two men as her knights, wearing silver robes with swords on their waists.

The Master of Ceremony bowed to her before he announced the arrival of the Bridegroom, which was followed by the sounds of the hooves of running horses approaching the Garden.

His entry was quite a loud one when compared to his bride, and as the convey slowed down after entering the Garden, the audience in the stands loudly cheered for their young Master who looked like a prince charming in every girl's dreams.

Orpheus looked composed and confident, wore a light smile on his lips, and kept his eyes locked on his bride.

He advanced through the Bride's Guard, who unsheathed their swords as soon as he passed by them.

When he arrived at the foot of the stage, he climbed off his horse and respectfully bowed to the bride before stepping onto the stage.

His wedding suit and robes were similarly fashioned to that of his bride, with emeralds and platinum linings, and even the color scheme was the same gold and silver. There was, however, no crown on his head, but even without it, he looked like a prince.

Right behind him were his friends when he was ruins explorers, dressed in white robes, and they too were wearing swords on their waists.

Orpheus stood facing his bride, looking right into her eyes, and after the horses were led away, the families of the two took their positions at the foot of the stage.

As soon as everything was ready, Orpheus smiled brightly and went down on his knees, drawing his right hand to her.

His action prompted the two guards standing behind her to angrily unsheathe their swords, which made the audience suck in a cold breath. And in their response, Orpheus's friends half drew their swords before he raised his left hand and stopped them.

As soon as the two covered their blades again, Emea smiled and offered her right hand into his hand, which he graciously accepted and planted a kiss on her knuckles.

Seeing the decision of the bride, her guards sheathed their swords back on their waists and respectfully stepped back before bowing to the Bridegroom in apology as he got back on his feet.

And then the Mothers of the Bridegroom and the Bride stepped on the stage, who in Emea's case was her friend Nia while Orpheus was an old lady who saw him grow up, she was like the mother he never had.

Blonde, oily hair hangs over a skinny, charming face. Expressive gray eyes, set deep within their sockets, watch attentively over the child she has grown affectionate of for so long.

Several moles are spread elegantly across her forehead and leave a stinging memory of her unfortunate upbringing.

This is the face of Sasha Lamm. She stands alluringly among others, despite her subtle frame.

Sasha approached the bride first, taking out a beautiful bracelet of the highest quality and lovingly putting it on her left wrist. After she did that, she planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, before giving way to her best friend acting as her aunt to approach Orpheus.
