Chapter 640: The Day of Marriage 4
The events that followed mostly consisted of entertainment, such as the grand feast held on the church grounds. The bride and groom also began walking around to greet the other attendees.
Occasions like this were also a perfect opportunity for everyone to build connections with many people.
With so many nobles and other important figures present, there was no better time or place than this moment. Especially for Aldrian, whom many wanted to greet or at least get close to. With Sylphia by his side, he also greeted and spoke with several people who had already become their acquaintances.
He could later be seen speaking with Prince Hector, Prince Claude, and Prince Ferdinand. They appeared to be enjoying their discussion, smiling from time to time. For many women, this was truly a blessed sight, four handsome men of high status gathered together. Many wished to approach them, but they did not dare.
As time passed and the sun rose high in the sky, the atmosphere remained lively, with even more people continuing to arrive from outside the Heavenly City. They did not want to miss the chance to attend the wedding ceremony, especially with Aldrian personally present.
Seeing that it was already midday, Pope Claudius’s voice resounded once again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve arrived at the event that I know many of you have been waiting for, well, I’ve been looking forward to it myself," he said in a joking tone, drawing light laughter from the crowd.
"Well then, the time has come for our most esteemed guest and future leader to give a lecture on cultivation. I hope we can all make the most of this opportunity, so that we do not waste the valuable chance that has been generously given to us."
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome His Majesty Aldrian Aster." As Pope Claudius finished the announcement, Aldrian walked onto the platform where the vow-taking procession had taken place.
There was almost complete silence as Aldrian stepped onto the platform. No one wanted to miss a single word, everyone was eager to hear everything he had to say with perfect clarity. At the same time, screens across the continent displayed his figure.
Aldrian stopped at the center of the platform and swept his gaze calmly across the crowd. After a few moments of quiet, he parted his lips.
"Before I begin the lecture, I suggest all of you take your meditation positions. This session may lead you into a state of comprehension."
