I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 921 - Wedding Completed

"Look! Look! Look!

Look up there!

It’s the Queen and Duke Benjamin!

They’re waving at us!"

"Wait?

Is it raining rose petals?

How beautiful!"

"Those tiny dots I saw way up in the air earlier on, we’re they these balloons?"

"Mommy, mommy, didn’t you say that we’ll go to the palace after we get this done?

Then let’s hurry up!"

"Look! They’re waving at us.

Quickly, let’s wave back."

(^_^)

Those on the streets jumped and waved happily at the parade of hot air balloons above.

It was a glorious event that would definitely go down in Carona’s history.

And following beneath the balloons were the exotic Baymardian vehicles and some of the military vehicles too.

Of course, the nobles from the ceremony also tailed behind, as they too had to be there for the after-event where the cake would get cut.

Additionally, the Camera crew sat in their vehicles and shot the glorious scene, capturing all they could.

Well, so far, everything was a success.

And soon, the hot air balloons had arrived at the landing spot within the palace. The source of this ᴄontent is novelenglish.net . (f)ire.ɴet - novelenglish.net . bin

There, there were red carpets and more flower girls ready to take them in.

The band played enthusiastically, and several Baymardians dancers took the lead in their fabulous outfits.

The crowd of people that were already within the palace watched in awe and clapped merrily at the over-the-top performance before them.

.

One should know that all this time that the wedding and battle were going on at the Sanpodia, the people had made their way to the palace and stayed on the massive empty fields and spaces allocated to them.

But they weren’t bored.

Why?

Because before today, several Caronians were contacted to open small food booths within particular spaces allocated.

Some sold mooncakes; others chose to use this opportunity to advertise their shoot in the Capital.

Again, the royals placed iron rods on the ground, bought some nets from Baymard, and created volleyball and tennis sites.

And to ensure that the calls didn’t fly far, they stationed tall nets around the courts that would catch any flying balls.

People could watch outside the nets.

They also had games like scrabble, chess, ordinary card games, snakes and ladders, monopoly, etc.

And wouldn’t you know it, bingo was very popular with the elderly.

Additionally, there were puzzle-fitting games to see which person was the fastest.

There were also games where one would need to fish fake plastic fish from ponds or throw little hoop rings onto several objects on the ground.

There was also a hoopla hoop competition.

And believe it or not, there was a complete thrill of horse racing within the premises that actually didn’t involve real horses.

.

Yes, there were horse races without real horses.

Several wooden carved horses, standing attached to wooden platforms, had strings attached to them and were all mouthed on yet another straight wooden space on the ground.

Each horse was placed in its own space so that it wouldn’t hit the other wooden horses.

And, the strings on the horses were attached to what looked like short fishing rods.

The players were to sit on chairs and reeled their wooden horses as fast as they could to cross the finish line.

It was like real horse racing, with the audience having chairs, watching and cheering seriously.

Again, some simple games that also relied on luck were available, like the pull-the-string game where players would just have to choose a string from thousands and pull it.

Hopefully, what they chose had a winning ticket at the end of it.

That’s right.

There were prizes.

So after a person won a minimum of 2 rounds/2 winning tickets from any game, they could go to the ticket booth, spin the wheel, and end up with any of the prizes there.

On the wheel, there were a total of 30 possible prizes.

One could get teddy bears, pens, notebooks, bedsheets, buckets, a flashlight, a free drink at the Baymardian drink booth, and so on.

But the most eye-catching prizes were a free bicycle!

Undoubtedly, that’s where everyone’s eyes were.

Who wouldn’t want a free bicycle?

Of course, all games were provided by the Baymardians, and the royals provided all prizes.

For the wedding, the royals had budgeted out 500,000 copper coins / 50 gold coins on prizes alone.

50 gold coins were nothing to them.

The smallest-sized teddy bear alone costs 1 copper coin, and the biggest one was 15 copper coins.

Not to talk of pens, notebooks, and all the rest.

Those things were relatively cheap.

Even the cheapest bicycle that amounted to 150 copper coins wasn’t all that bad.

In short, they took this opportunity to bless the people through the event.

And if the prizes ran out, they would remove those that ran out on the wheel and replace them with free drinks, snacks amd so on.

For today’s event, they were ready.

And so just like that, the people had been so busy that they didn’t even notice how much time had gone by.

Many were shocked at how fast the ceremony was.

But little did they know that a fierce battle took place after the ceremony.

.

The trumpets sounded, and the dancers danced.

All games came to a halt as everyone focused their attention on the enhancing parade.

This has got to be the most amazing wedding ever, right?

Penelope and the rest were led towards the grand hall, accompanied by all the noble, Sapos, merchants and so on.

There was just no helping it.

They couldn’t very well fit everyone within the Capital onto the hall, could they?

Nonetheless, those creating the wedding cakes had also made 15 other grand cakes that were to be sliced and shared with those outside.

Those were the biggest and most comprehensive cakes that many had ever seen.

They were so big.

And so, many of the citizens also got to taste the grand wedding cake!

Could this day get any better?

Rather than having a long party, after the father-daughter dance, bride & groom dance, and the cutting of the cake... the nobles and everyone else were sent outside to have fun.

Some struggled to hit the pinata blindfolded while listening to everyone’s instructions, while others joined the hooks hoop competitions, chess matches and played other games.

What made everyone happy were the free hot air balloon rides for all that would go on till 7 P.M.

Instantly, both nobles and peasants began waiting in line like crazy, as they genuinely wanted to experience what it was to fly.

Lucy and the rest also had fun too.

In short, everyone was in on the action.

They had fun till 7 P.M.

And by then, the Baymardians had arranged a live theatre for many to watch.

Everyone sat on the grass, listened to the actors’ voices that echoed through the microphones, and fell deep into the stories.

And by 9:30 P.M, when places were utterly dark, the fireworks went off.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

It was the most incredible light show that many had ever seen.

Even those who went back early could see the dazzling lights from afar.

It was just all too wonderful.

.

Carmelo and Adrain, who also had the time of their lives today, looked above and smiled.

Their baby girl’s wedding had truly outdone theirs when they got married ages ago.

But they couldn’t have had it any other way.

Everyone was happy.

Even the butlers and those who worked today had their one little celebration in the gardens with free food as well.

There was even enough for take-aways.

Many decided to take them home and share them with their families.

And by 10:30 P.M, the guests were sent out.

Some rode their new bikes back, while others held their bedsheets, plastic buckets, pens, flashlights and so on.

As they walked, they talked, laughed and spoke about all the exciting and marvellous games they played today.

"Ahhh, I could’ve beat old Rodney in Bingo if I truly wanted to."

"Pui!

Who are you fooling?

You were nowhere close to winning!"

"Dammit! Why is my luck so bad?

Every time I spun the wheel, I ended up with either a free drink or a teddy bear. Even a bed sheet would be better. What am I going to do with so many? Maybe my daughters will like them?"

"I know, right? There was someone who won 4 bikes.

That’s 4 of them!

What sort of dumb luck is that?

And how can I rub some on me?"

(:TOT:)

.

Landon smiled while looming at the leaving guests.

His buddy’s wedding was a complete success.

But looking around, he couldn’t help but shed a few tears for the staff and those who would clean up tomorrow.

Sigh... The downside of having a grand event is the cleanup.

At least the wedding was done and over with.

Now, he could focus on more things... like getting the arcade opened after returning to Baymard.

It was time for him to complete his primary mission and technologically advance Baymard once again.
