Early the next morning.
Groups of maids awakened Silby from his meditation.
The wedding time announced by the queen has come. It's an extremely grand ceremony. On this day, they will go out in full dress.
The first one that was brought up was a gorgeous red vest with a crossed red gold brooch.
Silby skillfully opened his arms and let the maid put the vest on him. After putting on his waistcoat, another maid brought him a gilded robe decorated with dark blue and scarlet feathers. After he put on his cloak, he was dressed in a white robe. The maid took another pair of soft riding boots and helped him put them on.
After wearing these, the maid brought a silver plate, in which were some fragmentary but indispensable ornaments -- a gem ring on her hand, and a crown full of gems, which could reflect seven rainbow lights after a little exercise.
As the maid served Silby, she sighed.
"How handsome. You are a born king
Sylby looks at himself in the mirror. He's wearing a high crown, and he's all dressed up. Even more expensive than his father Ramiro I.
He couldn't help thinking about his father. If he saw what he was like, would he be happy or angry.
After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help turning his mouth up: "how can I become a real king without the blessing of the church and the divine power."
The maid's fingers trembled slightly and ran into a gold brooch.
After dressing, the maid stepped down.
The bodyguard in armor came forward and opened the gate of the palace for him. The gate opened layer by layer and went straight to the outermost layer.
All the way straight, covered with red flowers.
Silby walked on the flowers without expression. Every time he passed an armored bodyguard, the armored bodyguard knelt down on one knee and clenched his fist on his chest.
That gesture of loyalty is enough to move the most demanding rulers.
However, Silby still had no expression, neither appreciated the guards, nor let them get up, so he went to the main gate of the palace without any distractions.
Large white flowers were placed in front of the huge palace. The sun was shining on the ground, making the floor shining. Outside the door to attend the wedding carriage row upon row, is to highlight the luxurious atmosphere.
On top of the golden chariot in the center, Queen Pandora has been waiting for it.
The steward of the palace knelt down on one knee and handed Silby a silver sword decorated with gems and keels.
According to the old custom of Iberian Peninsula, the bridegroom should be equipped with a sword. On the wedding day, he should stand beside the bride to protect her from being robbed by others.
Although he was a wizard, or a king, the custom continued.
Silby went to the chariot with his sword in his hand, and groups of servants knelt on the ground.
Silby stepped on the servant's back, boarded the huge chariot and stood beside the queen.
Today, the queen finally took off her old red mask and put on a thinner pure white veil. She was wearing an ivory silk dress and skirt with countless silver lines. Her cloak was made of velvet during the day, and there was no pattern on it. Compared with the expensive Silby, she was more simple. It's like a female peacock beside a male peacock.
The Palace door opened, and the motorcade roared down the hill.
"What is this doing?"
Sylby asked with interest.
"To Pandora's biggest square."
The queen sat up and said, "there are gods there to bless us."
"Oh? Which spirit? "
Sylby bent down and whispered to the bride, "by the way, my father is Catholic. If your beliefs conflict with mine, I'll...
" what are you going to do? "
The queen interrupted him with a smile.
Sylby shrugged. "I'll break up with my poor father."
"Shh, don't talk much."
The Queen's enigmatic smile, extremely dignified: "others will despise you."
"You look very experienced?"
Sylby asked. "Why are you so skilled?"
"I've been married once. You don't like it."
The queen rarely joked with him. Under the white veil, her eyes were like silk.
"It's not that I don't like it. I'm afraid you'll have to marry again."
"I'm still young, and I want to marry a few more."
"I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk."
"We are going out soon," said the queen
They are close to the bottom of the mountain, and there is the last wall outside Pandora city.
Before reaching the wall, Silby heard the faint cheers outside. He felt that there was no difference between the cheers and the cheers of Muggles watching the execution wizard. Pandora citizens had never seen themselves, and their love for Queen Pandora might be limited. But as long as there is excitement to participate in, people will flock to it, wise or not.Creak.
A group of strongmen forced to turn the wheel to open the huge iron door which separated the palace from the outside world.
For a moment, the cheers drowned sylby like sea water.
He saw a row of dancers walking on stilts in the middle of the road. They had red dresses like umbrella crowns and danced as they walked. Musicians, drummers, pipers and violinists play and sing along the street.
Group after group of Pandora's acrobatic troupes came out with somersaults or handstands, one foot on the plate to keep balance, and the other formed the great pyramid.
On one side of the road, a huge brown bear dances awkwardly with the Oriental Cobra under the direction of flute and drum.
They are all Pandora citizens who came to watch this grand celebration.
Silby felt that if he saw these things a few years earlier, he would jump with excitement. If the female officer doesn't come to him, he can play outside for a month. But now, like his father, he has to stand up straight and not squint.
The motorcade rumbled past the carnival crowd.
Although the queen was wearing a veil, she could see the distorted face under the veil.
As she passed by, the men opened their mouths and drooled. Even the clown who threw the orange forgot his action and let the orange fall to the ground.
As soon as the flute stops, the clumsy brown bear and Cobra fight together.
The confusion over the Queen's beauty didn't last long.
Soon, guards in golden robes separated the crowd. The knights on white horses cleared the way for the queen and Silby to pass.
Soon, they came to the square in the middle of the city.
Sylby was drawn to the side of the dark room by the Royal ceremonial officer, and was taught various rituals and rules.
Queen Pandora was taken to another darkroom, where she would stay until the ceremony officially began.
The ceremonial officer was probably afraid that Silby didn't know anything and lost the face of Pandora, so he took the trouble to repeat all kinds of trivial red tape with him.
Sylby listened absently, but focused on the square outside.
And the wizard invited by the queen came down from the carriage one after another.
Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor were among them.
Under the guidance of the attendants, they sat on the long tables displayed in the square, waiting for the ceremony and banquet to begin, and watching the performance before the grand ceremony.
Not only that, but also many wizards who have never met come from all directions. They wear all kinds of clothes, speak different languages, and sit in the square.
Seeing all this in the dark room, Silby was a little excited, and the number of witches outside satisfied him.
"... when you give the gift to Queen Beatrix, she will give you the wand representing the power of the Kingdom, understand? Hey, Lord Silby, do you hear me
Seeing that Silby was absent-minded, the protocol officer kept reminding him. Sylby grinned, revealing his white teeth. "Of course, I'm always ready."
Soon, the ceremony began. Sitting in a golden sedan chair, Queen Pandora was carried to the center of the square by her servants, facing the steps of the broad marble square.
At the same time, rows of food came down from the sky: wine filled with silver pots, cakes filled with pork, pine nuts and eggs, sweet corn crumbs, oatmeal crust baked with chopped dates, apples and oranges, and pork ribs.
They landed on the table of every banquet table precisely, just like they were created out of thin air.
The banquet had not yet begun, the king had not come in, and no one else had begun. But Slytherin did not hesitate to pick up a piece and put it into his mouth as if no one else.
Gryffindor took his wrist and whispered, "Salazar, pay attention to manners."
Slytherin rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "one day when your servant becomes king, you will know that all manners are nonsense."
"You still think of him as your servant?" Gryffindor asked anxiously.
"Why not? He has signed a contract with me. As long as he can't get rid of my curse one day, he will be my servant one day."
With that, he clenched his fist and squeezed a piece of pigeon pie into mud.
Next, the dishes were served more and more quickly, including trout wrapped in crushed almond wrappers, crab cooked with strong oriental spices, large lamb chops stewed with almond milk and carrots, raisins and onions, and freshly baked fish cakes, which were very hot.
When others saw Slytherin enjoying food without scruple, many people followed him and stuffed food into his mouth, which made the palace guards frown in disgust.
However, when the ceremonial officer held Queen Beatrix by the moment.
All the noise and overeating disappeared.Queen Beatrix was wearing a long white dress, soft brown hair on her white shoulders, straight down to her waist, and a slender gold crown on her forehead. Walk through the carpet covered with flowers. The face under the veil darkened the sun.
The witches stopped breathing. Slytherin's fish cake fell on the table. He didn't see the Queen's face last time. He didn't care. But when he saw the Queen's face, he couldn't help but feel swayed, thinking that as long as he could get her, he could pay any price.
He even immediately wanted to curse sylby to death and take him instead.
It's not only Slytherin who thinks so. The eyes of witches from all over the world want to be attracted by magnets and stick firmly on the Queen's body.
It was not until the queen sat down on the chair at the top of the square and her face became unclear because of the distance that the witches all sighed bitterly, and some even put their hands to the crotch.
...
"if you want me to say that you men are really worthless." An untimely sneer came from the corner of the table. "The queen must have done something on her face."
The harsh voice made many people wake up. They stretched their necks and saw that the speaker was sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the long table. It's a woman with short hair, bright silver and blue robes. She's not very beautiful, but she has an inexplicably attractive quality, and that quality is sharp.
"What did you say?"
After discovering that it was a woman, the witches had a better attitude.
"I said, there's something wrong with the Queen's face."
Silver short hair woman lazily threw a peanut into her mouth and shrugged: "have you ever seen a person with no pores on her face?"
"The vinegar jar from there, hey, I'm afraid it's not jealousy that other people look better than you." There are male wizards who disdain sarcasm.
The witch with short hair sneered: "reptiles, only squirm under the control of instinct."
"If I'm a reptile, so are you," the wizard said angrily
The witch laughed and didn't want to argue at all.
Hearing this arrogant tone, Slytherin was stunned. He just turned his head and saw a familiar figure. He shook his hand and said in disbelief, "Ravenclaw? What are you doing here...
he wants to stand up and say hello, but the other person reacts faster than him. It's Gryffindor. He gets up from the table and says, "Ronnie, what are you doing here?"
The sorceress stretched herself and said, "I've been invited. I don't think it's strange. Come and have a look. Well, you two are here. I'm afraid it's not the same as these idiots. They've got horse urine in their head before they come to this muddy water. "
Gryffindor laughed.
Other people are not as talkative as Gryffindor.
Her words offended the wizard sitting beside her.
Some people are not happy to say: "Hey, little witch, put your mouth clean, who's brain into the horse urine."
"I didn't give you a name, but you have to take your seat according to the number. Are you cheap?" The irony of women without hesitation.
Bang!
The mocked wizard clapped his case and was about to get angry.
Gryffindor rushed over quickly and made a comeback: "this friend, give me face. Stop fighting, will you? "
Gryffindor had a high prestige among the witches. When he said this, the angry wizard calmed down and sat down with a cold hum.
Salazar Slytherin went up to the Witch and held her arm. "Hey, Ravenclaw, what do you mean when you said that the queen has a problem?"
"It's not interesting. It's just intuition."
Ravenclaw drank a mouthful of wine, and suddenly pointed to the two people and burst out laughing: "Hey, I say you two won't fight for the queen."
When she said this, Gryffindor and Slytherin looked at each other, and their faces were more or less embarrassed.
"Then you didn't win. Tell me, who won?"
He asked with interest.
Slytherin's face turned black on the spot. He didn't turn his head and didn't speak.
Gryffindor quickly interrupted, "Ronnie, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Without your advice and guidance, I always feel like I've run into a wall everywhere."
"In addition to fighting, you are leading people to fight in groups. If you run into a wall, it's your own fault. Who makes your head so hard?" Ravenclaw sneered.
Her face was full of impudence. Gryffindor had great respect for her.
He pulled away the wizard beside Ravenclaw and sat down beside her. Ravenclaw immediately moved his ass and sat away from him. Gryffindor had the cheek to move over and said with a smile, "Ronnie, look, you haven't divined for me for a long time. Today is just an opportunity. Can you divine for me?"
"No way."
Ravenclaw turned his head and hummed, "I'm not going to do divination to the stubborn."
"Oh, Ronnie, you're the best."Gryffindor showed a bright smile and shook Ravenclaw's arm childishly. "Come on, help me figure out what's going on recently."
Ravenclaw was unmoved and could not let Gryffindor pull.
At this time, Slytherin recovered from his depression. He also sat on the other side of Ravenclaw and said calmly, "Ronnie, you are the smartest of us. I also think this city is strange recently, but I can't tell exactly what's strange."
When he said this, Ravenclaw's expression became a little loose. She opened the tangled Gryffindor, hugged her arm, and said proudly, "and then."
Slytherin opened his hand. "We really need the help of a wise man. I don't think there is anyone else except you."
"Well, you can talk."
Ravenclaw gives Slytherin a white look. Then she takes a set of tarot cards from her arms, shakes them with her hands, says something in her mouth, draws out a card and throws it on the table.
Ronay Ravenclaw stretched out his head, and the expression of indifference immediately became very stiff.
A towering tower was destroyed by lightning, and two people fell to the ground from the collapsing tower.
Gryffindor looked at the tarot, then Ravenclaw, then Ravenclaw, then Tarot, then Ravenclaw, then Ravenclaw, and then Ravenclaw, and his eyes moved back and forth...
"what's the matter?"
Asked Slytherin.
Ravenclaw immediately stood up and looked around: "omen, great omen!"
