Skeleton King

Unlike people in the Pansy Empire who hold their weddings in warm afternoons, the tradition of the Finger Empire is under the dome of the night, where the couple swears an oath amidst the stars and endless bonfires, letting the sky and flames witness their love.

The embassy of the Pansy Empire was filled with spring flowers, and according to the custom of the Pansy Empire, white ribbons were wrapped around the branches of the entire King Street.It was a sleepless night, and the residents along King Street lit up their magic lamps one after another. Normally, they would only be so extravagant during festivals.They waited quietly, waiting for Princess Fenfur's float to enter the royal palace of the Finger Empire from the King's Avenue.

After a few years or decades, this day will indeed become a festival.After Prince Bartholomew ascended the throne, the wedding day of the king and queen will also become the new Holy Wedding Day of the Finger Empire.

A day blessed by the gods.

There is a huge magic crystal in the uppermost room on the right side of the Pansy Empire embassy, ​​which is like a huge mirror, reflecting the scene in the room clearly.

There is a girl with long black hair standing opposite the magic crystal. She is wearing a white tube top dress. The thin gauze makes the dress fluffy, and the back of the skirt is embroidered with gold thread and silk thread dyed with purple roses. There are three pansy flowers, which is the symbol of the Coorser family and also shows the bride's origin.

Because of the tight wedding date, the wedding dresses of Prince Bartholomew and Princess Fenfell were not at all gorgeous compared to their identities, but Princess Fenfele was not dissatisfied at all.She especially loves the Finger Empire silk gown and the vivid family crest on the back of the wedding dress.

The tailor of the palace of the Finger Empire also secretly rejoiced that the future mistress of the empire was friendly and not extravagant.He secretly blessed the couple, hoping that Princess Fenfur would give birth to an heir to Prince Bartholomew as soon as possible. It has been too long since a new life was born in the palace.

Princess Fenfur took two steps forward slowly, her wedding dress exposed her snow-white shoulders, her bare arms were raised, and she tapped the magic crystal with her fingers.The face of the girl in the magic crystal is slightly flushed, and the iconic green eyes of the Keoser family are full of water. There is joy and spring in the eyes that cannot be concealed. This is a kind of cocoon-breaking beauty.

Princess Fenful turned around with a smile, and the lace edge of the skirt followed her rotation like a dancing butterfly, just like her mood, so happy and beautiful.

From today, the surname that has accompanied her for 18 years will be covered by another equally honorable surname.

Princess Fenfur was the only one in the room.

Princess Fenfur's personal maid was still in the palace of the Pansy Empire. The maid who served her to dress and comb her hair just now was found by the Duke of Green after the mission of the Pansy Empire arrived in the Finger Empire.

Princess Fenfur doesn't like them very much. The maids of the Finger Empire are too lively, and they are not as disciplined as the maids in the palace of the Pansy Empire. Her original maids always put her requirements first, silent and reliable.The maids of the Finger Empire were always chattering about her fiancé, and occasionally when they weren't talking about Prince Bartholomew, they weren't looking forward to Sykes.

Princess Fenfur doesn't want them to disturb her good mood, never.

Before the wedding, Princess Fenfur stayed quietly in the room, enjoying this sweet time alone.

The magic lamp emits a pale white light, and the sky will soon be completely dark.

"Dong dong dong." There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Come in." Princess Fenfur took a deep breath and said.

Standing outside the door of Princess Fenfur is Ace. Ace is wearing a gray robe today. Except for a bracelet on his left wrist, he has no decorations on his body.Ace smiled gently, "Your Highness, are you ready?"

"It should be ready." Princess Fenfur suddenly felt a little nervous, and she tried not to be so nervous, "Scholar Ace, what do you think of me?"

Ace's eyes were full of appreciation and admiration, "It's very beautiful."

Ace's words gave Princess Fenful great comfort. She felt that her body was no longer so stiff. She walked to Ace's side, took Ace's arm, and said softly, "Let's go."

With a perfect smile, Ace led Princess Fenfur out of the room and walked slowly down the stairs.

Today Ace will lead Princess Fenfur and deliver her to Prince Bartholomew.

This job originally belonged to Ludwig IV, but unless Ludwig IV brought an army to take over the imperial capital of the Finger Empire, he would definitely not show up here.As for Princess Fenfur's two elder brothers, Prince Aachen is still in the training camp of the Knights, and Prince Xiben has limited intimacy with Princess Fenfur, and he can't reach the imperial capital of the Finger Empire now.

As for the two most distinguished members of the mission, Nou and Sykes are both unmarried youths, and Sykes has even had an affair with Princess Fenfur, so it is not suitable to lead Princess Fenfell on this road. .

Only Ace, whose status as a scholar makes him honorable enough, although the rumors about Ace, the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire, and Princess Fenfur are raging, but they have not yet spread to the Finger Empire.This gossip spread, and the people of the Finger Empire were tolerant enough to the distinguished scholars. After all, the scholars had sworn not to marry.

Sykes also told Ace: "I think Ludwig IV would also like you to accompany her on this journey. For Princess Fenfur, this is also the best."

Ace sent Princess Fenfur to the carriage. The night was very quiet, and the knights of the Royal Guards watched their princess get married quietly.Princess Fenfur said in a low voice and nervously: "I still like the wedding of the Pansy Empire. People will cheer at this time. I can know that they like me and love me."

Ace comforted Princess Fenfur, "They all silently bless you in their hearts."

Princess Fenfur believed Ace's words, and she gracefully sat on the float. The float was open, with no wooden boards around it, only a few long poles of indeterminate material.Magic lamps like peeled pomegranates hung on the long poles of the float. Under their illumination, Princess Fenfur's face was extraordinarily beautiful.

Everyone in the embassy of the Pansy Empire thought she was beautiful.

However, Fenfur will soon be more than just their princess, as she will soon take on another title - Princess of the Finger Empire.In some foreseeable future, she will also be queen of this country.

The lights along King Street were all on, not at the request of the royal family of the Finger Empire, but spontaneously by the people of the imperial capital.Although there would be no cheers at night, Fenfur knew that this was their support for her and the greatest comfort to her.

Even so, Fenfur felt very anxious, and she desperately hoped to see Prince Bartholomew.She believed that she would have nothing to worry about when she saw Prince Bartholomew.

The nights in spring are still a bit cold.Fenfur's skirt was not warm at all, and the wind made her a little cold, but when they came to the palace of the Finger Empire, this huge palace, which was not as bright as King's Street, carried a strange warmth.

Ace helped Fenfur off the float.

It was only then that Fenfur noticed that there were two knights behind the float, one was Sykes, and the other had short brown hair and freckles on his face. Fenfur didn't recognize them, but thought they looked familiar.A few days later, Fenfur found out that this knight was called Jonah, and he was the young man who begged Fenfur to save his captain in the World of Warcraft Forest. guardian knight.

Ace walked through the long corridor of the palace with Fenfur on his arm. There were musicians playing musical instruments in the garden, and the music was mysterious and beautiful.Moonlight, starlight, and the light from the magic lamp didn't make it look like daytime here, but it wasn't that far off.

From time to time, murmurs could be heard from all around, the noble ladies and noble ladies in gorgeous costumes, and the noble knights were also waiting in the palace early.While talking softly, they moved forward slowly, as if escorting Fenfur with Ace.

Fenfur didn't speak anymore, and Ace guessed that she was too nervous to speak.Ace guarded her carefully, preventing her from accidentally falling to the ground because of being too nervous.

Until they saw Prince Bartholomew.

Prince Bartholomew was waiting at the end of the palace. He was wearing a black silk dress with gold embroidered collar and cuffs. If he turned around, Ace could even see the mighty lion embroidered on his back.

Prince Bartholomew didn't notice Ace at all. All his eyes were on Fenfur. The affection in his eyes made everyone present believe that even if Fenfur was not the princess of the Pansy Empire, even if she was The farmer's daughter, Prince Bartholomew would hold such a grand wedding to marry her.

"Fenfur." ​​Prince Bartholomew held out his hand.

Ace handed Fenfur's hand to Prince Bartholomew. His mission has been completed, and he should call the curtain.

Ace walked among the guests watching the ceremony.

The court scholar of the Finger Empire stood beside Fenfur and Prince Bartholomew. He had witnessed the wedding of the old king, and now he was going to preside over the wedding of the future king of the Finger Empire.

……

The hall of the royal palace is brightly lit. This is the busiest time for weddings in the Finger Empire, but it's a pity that Fenfur can't see it, Ace thought silently.After taking the oath, Fenfur and Prince Bartholomew only sat in the hall for a short time before being hooted by the crowd to go to the new house.

Ace sat at the front of the hall.

Today, Ace assumes the responsibility of Fenfur's father and brother, and his position has become very honorable.

Sykes sat next to Ace, and for a rare occasion today he didn't invite any ladies to dance.

It was Nuoou, who was dancing with Princess Muse in the center of the dance floor.This is the etiquette of nobles, and Nuo Ou must invite Princess Muse.Ace can only be thankful that he is a scholar, and he doesn't need to care about these red tapes, rules on the surface and in the dark.

The food at the wedding banquet was extraordinarily rich. On the round table in the hall, bread and cheese piled up like a mountain, and attendants kept passing by. The plates they held were fragrant steak and mutton soup, stuffed with radishes or pumpkin stuffing. The cakes bring a sweet and greasy smell, and the freshly caught eels, cod, and crabs from the deep sea are unbelievably delicious, and the fine wines of the Finger Empire are known to even the most remote mountain villages in another empire.

Sykes asked suddenly: "Aren't you going to make a new house? Princess Fenfur has never seen such a battle. If you go, you can protect Princess Fenfur." ​​There is no tradition of making a new house in the Pansy Empire of.

Although they should call Princess Fenfur the princess at this time, Sykes has not changed his mind, and Ace has not reminded him.

Ace said: "In the future, she will have to face many situations alone."

Young aristocrats of the Finger Empire often do not know how to properly start a new house, but Ace doesn't think this is a big deal.Fenfur and Prince Bartholomew's identities are there, even if it is a wedding custom, other people will be somewhat scrupulous.

Sykes didn't mean to mention it again, but he asked Ace about another matter, "What are your plans after the wedding?"

After the wedding of Fenfur and Prince Bartholomew, the mission of the Pansy Empire mission should also be over.On the contrary, the original purpose of the mission was not so important in the face of this major event.It is impossible for the two empires to resume trade, and the "military training" on the Purin battlefield will not end, so the people in the Pansy Empire mission are still very puzzled, why His Majesty Ludwig IV agreed to Fenfell's marriage.

Ace said: "His Majesty Ludwig IV agrees that Nou will go directly from Prin Canyon to the Green family's fief, which is much closer to the eastern plains of the Louisiana province than the imperial capital. I may go with Nou .”

Sikes nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

Or Ace asked him: "What about you? Go back to the capital of the Pansy Empire?"

"Reluctant to part with me? Want to go back with me?" Sykes teased a few words, and then noticed that Ace's face was flushed, and he didn't look shy, but more like angry.

Sure enough, Sykes felt a faint coercion from Ace again.

If they weren't in the palace of the Finger Empire and it was Fenfur's wedding, Sykes would have suspected that Ace would have pulled out the Bone Staff directly.

It's fun to tease my brother.Sikes sipped his wine, thinking cheerfully.

Sykes said: "Unfortunately, you can't go back with me. I have to find a place to break through the holy rank. If I'm lucky, next time we meet again, I will be the sword master."

Although Ace thinks he has no desire for Sykes anymore, his feelings are still extremely complicated.He only knows that the best place for ordinary people to break through to the holy rank is Magic Island, where the magic elements are particularly strong.

Ignoring Sykes' unruly attitude, Ace asked with concern, "Where are you going?"

Ace thought that Sykes would not say that most people would find extremely secret places to avoid being ambushed if they did not break through the holy ranks on the magic island.Wish no one knew except themselves.But this will also have hidden dangers. If they have an accident, no one will know.

Ace didn't expect Sykes to say it so bluntly.

"Dragon Island."
