Looking at his subordinates' departing backs, His Majesty Laht seemed to be thinking about something.

"You said, what should I give to Elias?"

Elthea was a little confused by the question.

"With General Horton here, she has plenty of food and clothing. Your Majesty, do you have any ideas?"

"When she achieves something, I'll have someone do something for her. I think she'll like it."

It seemed that Lakhte had a good idea.

"What is it? Tell me, I promise not to tell anyone."

Instantly, Elsia's curiosity was aroused by him, and she pulled his arm, wanting to know in advance.

"Secret."

The man thought her curious look was really adorable, so he stood up and went back to the palace where he lived.

"Hey, Lahte, don't be like this. Tell me, is there anything I don't want to know..." The girl kept chasing him.

The people who followed him were already used to this. His Majesty actually allowed this divine messenger to play with him like this, which was really against the rules. Unfortunately, in this country, His Majesty's words are the rules.

……

Time passed quietly in such a busy time, and soon it was the wedding of Tien and Elias.

It was naturally a bustling day, and it was no exaggeration to say that the stone steps at the entrance of Hotton House were almost dented by the endless stream of guests.

Of course, Elthea would not miss the excitement of such an ancient Assisi-style wedding. She came to visit Hotton House two days before the wedding and was invited to be the bride's companion.

The wedding officially started in the afternoon. Mrs. Hotton was in charge of the main reception, which was also her forte. She finally waited for her son's wedding wine. She was in high spirits when she had a happy event. She was in high spirits these days.

As for the bride Elias, she got up early in the morning and went through complicated and tedious steps to cleanse her body, including taking several baths, applying essential oils, burning incense, eating flower cakes, etc.

Because they will go to the temple to pay homage later, the Assisi people believe that keeping the body clean is a sign of respect for the gods, so they usually like to be clean. When it comes to sacrifices or special days or festivals, they will take a grand bath first.

Then comes the outfit: a pure white Roque long skirt, a neckline and belt woven with eye-catching gold thread, and then the neck, waist, hands, and ankles, all embellished with either gold or turquoise ornaments, and on the feet are exquisite and gorgeous beaded sandals.

They are used to wearing bright turquoise chains at weddings. I heard that this is a tradition.

In addition to the usual eye makeup, the bride's face will be dyed with a special dark brown plant dye to outline a special pattern on the eye - the eye of the moon, which is the left eye of the eagle god.

The Assisi people believe that wearing or painting this pattern can gain the protection of the gods, help them distinguish between good and evil, and safeguard their health and happiness.

Of course, Elshia was no stranger to this custom, as Laht and priests often did the same.

"Elias, you look so beautiful."

When the dressing was almost finished, Elthea spoke up in admiration.

The girl in front of her, dressed up, was tall and slender (taller than her), charming, graceful,... Sorry, forgive her for being at a loss for words, but she, as a woman, was moved.

"Thank you."

The quiet and beautiful bride nodded shyly, and couldn't help wondering how her brother would react when he saw her.

"Don't worry, General Tien will be here to pick you up soon."

Elthea joked, but then she saw the three large ostrich feather fans on display, which were used for the ceremony at the temple, and sighed,

"It will be a real pain to go there under this scorching sun."

"Fortunately, the journey is not far."

Elias was already used to it. It was good to get some sun. She smiled again.

"Your wedding with His Majesty will be much more grand than this."

"Ah, what are you talking about!"

Elsia was shocked to hear that she was being joked about, and she quickly denied it.

"When will I marry Lakhte? Don't talk nonsense."

"Oh? Don't you like the handsome and tall noble Majesty?" Elias asked back.

"I didn't. That guy is black-bellied and arrogant. Who would like him?"

A suspicious red cloud floated across the girl's fair face and she denied it.

Elias seemed to believe it, and took her hand and whispered some girlish things to her, telling her about the mental journey she and her brother had gone through.

Seeing that she was about to burst into tears, Elthea hurried to comfort her good friend.

"Then you must be happy. I hope you two can get along well with each other, love each other, and then have a cute baby someday. Okay, don't cry, your makeup will be ruined."

"Thank you, Elthea,"

Elias gradually calmed down, feeling a little embarrassed, but still spoke out.

"I'm sorry. I had a bad impression of you because of a misunderstanding before. It was only after getting to know you that I realized you are a lovely girl. Also, thank you for coming to our wedding." Otherwise, she would have few good friends.

Elshia smiled, of course not caring, and complained in her heart: That cold-faced commander, I guess only this arrogant younger sister can stand him.
