Chapter 103： Under the wedding

After Edel took Princess Sophie Marie to rehearse for a day, he began to prepare for the wedding.

The weather on September 14 was sunny and cloudless, and colorful flags fluttered on the streets of Bucharest. A large number of people gathered on the street waiting for the wedding. Many people came from other areas just to witness the match made in heaven with their own eyes. For Romanians, the crown prince’s wedding is the biggest festival of the year.

Edel got up very early in the palace, and a large group of people were busy with him. Now he is traditionally dressed in white military uniforms and riding boots, and he looks extraordinary. The mother, Queen Elizabeth, looked at her son's image with great satisfaction, and was commenting on him with the ladies nearby.

"It's worthy of being a masterpiece by Master Chax. It really fits the image of my son too."

, the other ladies next to him also helped. "The main thing is that the crown prince is handsome and extraordinary. This kind of bonus can be obtained by wearing this dress. Master Chax just entrusted the crown prince to be even better."

Watching his mother and those women comment on themselves, Edel could only sigh secretly. My mother used to only like to participate in cultural salons. In recent years, she has slowly started to deal with these women.

he asked the chief guard. "Is the princess ready?"

"I just made the phone call, and I have almost prepared it over there, and it will proceed according to the plan."

Carust is also one of the busy people today. He doesn't have to follow the crown prince all the way, and he has to coordinate all aspects, but he has also prepared several assistants to help him take care of today's affairs.

"Then let's go."

With the crown prince’s order, various departments began to operate. First of all, the Janissaries began to cordon on the streets from the palace to the Bloor Palace. Today, all Romanians know about the crown prince’s wedding, and there are fewer vehicles on the streets of Bucharest, so that the police who evacuated the traffic can also breathe a sigh of relief.

Now the crown prince’s open carriage is parked at the gate of Bloor Palace, and today the crown prince is driving the head of the bodyguard Carust and the minister of industry Karaturi. The two were also dressed up, but in order to distinguish them from the crown prince wearing white military uniforms, they wore black military uniforms today.

Princess Sophie Marie, who was ready for a long time, is also glamorous, a white wedding dress with a slightly pink face, the whole person is so eye-catching.

"My fiancee, are you ready?" Edel walked to Sophie Marie and asked in a low voice.

"I'm ready."

Princess Sophie Mary is not so shy today, she seems to have adjusted her mentality. After speaking, she generously took Edel's hand and walked out of the gate of Bloer Palace with him. When the crowd waiting outside saw the two coming out, they cheered. They saw Sophie Marie's beautiful and moving face, and they shouted in their hearts for the beautiful couple.

"Come and wave to the audience with me." Edel whispered to Sophie Marie, who is about to become his wife.

The two waved to the crowd onlookers, which made the atmosphere of the scene soar, and the cheers became more enthusiastic.

In a corner of the street, two young and beautiful women in dresses and veils were also evaluating the couple.

"The crown prince and this princess are really good friends." One of them said to another tall woman next to her.

"Emina, are you really willing?" The tall girl was Kariluna.

"Kaliluna, what can we do if we are not reconciled, after all, the gap is too big." Emina, wearing a hat and veil, said with a bit of a grudge.

"Yes, we are too far apart."

Kariluna looked also evoked a bit of resentment in her heart. After all, the beloved man married the bride is not himself, and no one can be gracious to show that he doesn't care.

Now we don't care about the two former maids who secretly came to watch, the camera turns to the couple at the wedding. Edel took Princess Sophie Marie and boarded the carriage to the Chiefs Cathedral amidst the cheers of many onlookers. In the carriage, the two were frequently separated by the officers and soldiers of the guard division, and frequently waved to the cheering people on both sides of the road.

When the wedding carriage arrived at the cathedral, the guests of the ceremony had already arrived. Due to the content of the church, in addition to the envoys of various countries and the Austro-Hungarian delegation, the government departments only consist of ministers and cabinet ministers, and the army is mainly composed of senior officers (above major generals). The nobility comes the most, but it is also above the viscount.

After all these years of power control, Edel has long been blind to the second. He was led by the waiter to the icon in front of the hall, where the Patriarch Baldochven I was already waiting for him here in full costume. Princess Sophie Marie is ready outside the door, and she will come in under the leadership of her father, Grand Duke Otto Franz.

Seeing that they were all ready, the Patriarch Baldochven I pressed his hands down to signal that the wedding was about to begin. Following the Patriarch’s actions, the church immediately calmed down. Seeing that all the guests were quiet, Baldochven I gave a speech on the wedding ceremony.

"Today on this beautiful day, we will witness the wedding of a couple. This handsome young man will marry a noble wife on this sacred occasion, and we are the witnesses of this wedding."

As the Patriarch’s voice fell, the children in the choir standing behind him began to sing hymns. With the innocent singing, Grand Duke Otto Franz walked in slowly with his daughter Princess Sophie Marie. He walked to Edel, handed his daughter to Edel, and whispered. "Please be kind to her."

"I will."

The crown prince quietly assured his father-in-law. After hearing Edel's words, Grand Duke Otto Franz patted him on the shoulder and walked to the front seat to sit down.

"Are you a little sad?" Grand Duke Ferdinand who was sitting next to him turned his head and asked in a low voice.

"Yes it is."

Grand Duke Otto Franz answered his brother’s question, even if he is a playboy, he hopes his daughter will find a happy marriage.

After the hymn is over Patriarch Baldochven I started to ask Edel according to the process. "His Royal Highness Edel Hohenzollern Sigmaringen, would you like to marry the woman next to you as your wife and walk the long journey of life with her, whether it is poor or rich."

"I do."

Baldochven I got the answer from the crown prince and asked about Princess Sophie Marie. "Princess Sophie Marie Francis Carton Alberta von Hornberg, would you like to marry the young man next to you as your wife? Be loyal to him and never give up."

"I do."

After the two newcomers agreed, the Patriarch Baldochven I took the hands of the two and said. "In this temple of God, I solemnly announce that the two newlyweds are now married."

After hearing the voice of the Patriarch fell, the children's voice of the choir sounded again. At this time, a waiter came to the crown prince with a crown, and Edel took the crown and put it on his wife Sophie Marie. All the guests present stood up and applauded warmly, wishing the new couple. Queen Elizabeth, who was sitting next to Edel, shed tears of happiness when she watched her son's announcement of marriage.

"Well Elizabeth, the guests are here." When Carol I saw his white-haired wife, he took out a towel to wipe the tears from his eyes, persuading him.

"I know, but I can't help it." Queen Elizabeth replied, wiping her tears.

Eder took the Princess Sophie Marie, who is now his wife, to receive congratulations from everyone, and found no abnormality next to him.

After receiving the blessings of the guests, Edel took his wife in a carriage to the square in front of the palace to receive the blessings of the Romanian people. The Romanian people's love for the royal family can be seen from the cheers.
