Mage Veigar

Chapter 514 Hard to guard against
Everything went so well.

It went so smoothly that even Vega himself found it unbelievable.

After the court meeting, Vega issued a notice to the whole country on the same day in order to avoid any further complications.

After the announcement was issued.

But it means that the whole country knows that Vega and Xia will get married in seven days. Even if Okasos is eloquent at the court meeting within these seven days, he cannot stop this marriage because everything has been finalized.

In other words.

Vega made a lot of money from this political deal.

Could it be that Okasos has given up on opposing him and is trying to use a gentle approach to make him work for the dynasty?
Vega was a little uncomfortable with Okasos's sudden show of goodwill.

However, he was very careful and cautious during these seven days, and indeed no other problems occurred. Even in the following court meeting, Okasos hardly contradicted him. The harmony was so harmonious that Vega couldn't help but get goose bumps.

The night before the wedding.

Vega began to familiarize himself with the wedding process.

First of all, the wedding needs to be held in the Royal Square of Saint Laurent City, which is located in front of the royal palace and has a wide terrain, enough to accommodate a full 200,000 people to watch the ceremony.

Since this is the Queen's marriage, it must of course be held in accordance with royal standards.

The Pope of the Holy See will preside over the ceremony for Vega and Xia, and Okasos, the Minister of Defense, will be the witness of the wedding and accept the blessings of the people present after the basic ceremony.

Except these.

According to the dynasty's tradition, the prince needs to prove in front of the civilians present that he is capable of protecting the queen. Generally speaking, he defeats the queen's guardian knight to show his strength and courage to the whole country.

If he fails to win, he will be considered unworthy of marrying the Queen.

Of course, if you take this ceremony seriously, you will lose, because in history there has never been a prospective prince who failed this ceremony.

After all, this is just a means for the royal family to increase their influence. Before this ceremony, the preparatory officer will order the guardian knight to prepare for a fake match the next day. When the duel ceremony begins, the guardian knight will generally perform a few moves and then pretend to be defeated.

The Guardian Knight is one of the best warriors in the dynasty.

Then the prince who can defeat the guardian knight will certainly gain the admiration of the common people.

There are countless small tricks to enhance the influence of the royal family. This ceremony is just one of them. There will also be a ceremony to read out the historical achievements of the future prince in front of the civilians watching.

All of this is done to increase the influence of the royal family.

In order to enhance the common people's worship of the royal family, the royal family of the dynasty could be said to have tried every possible means. It is no wonder that the common people of the dynasty regarded the royal family of the dynasty and the city of Saint Laurent as their faith. This was formed through thousands of years of subtle influence.

But now the position of Guardian Knight is vacant.

Generally, this is ignored in favor of reading Veigar's historical achievements to increase his influence.

Therefore, this process was not even mentioned in the wedding process book given to Vega. After all, this process book was for Vega to familiarize himself with the basic wedding process tomorrow. Of course, it was impossible to copy the previous wedding process without any changes.

So the next day came.

Vega carried out the wedding step by step according to the procedures in the process book.

He set out from his mansion early in the morning with his guard of honor. He first rode his warhorse slowly along the central street towards the Royal Square. He needed to greet the civilians in a friendly manner along the way. This was also one of the small ways to increase his influence.

This walk lasted a full two hours.

Vega arrived at the Royal Square around noon.

The Royal Square was already filled with civilians who had come to watch the ceremony. Soldiers holding spears were lined up on the main road. Each of them looked ferocious. At the end of the main road was the central platform where today's ceremony would be held.

Now Vega needed to withdraw his guards and walk along the main road to Shia alone. This was to show the courage of a future prince to the common people.

This kind of scene could only scare the nobles who had never seen blood. Vega, who had experienced many battles, was of course not afraid of anything.

He strode towards the center of the square.

Although Vega's height, coupled with a half-human-high Storm Sword, made him look even more out of place, and his movements were even a little funny, no one present dared to think that Vega was a clown.

Whether it was because of Vega's achievements or because of his temperament.

All of this made the subjects regard Vega as a hero of the dynasty and ignore any shortcomings in him.

The ceremony is still ongoing.

In less than ten minutes, Vega stood under the platform, in the center of the Royal Square.

However, Vega did not walk towards the platform immediately, but knelt on one knee, as if waiting for something.

That’s right, the next ceremony is to publicize Vega’s achievements.

From the small battle of Holy Glory City to the big battle of driving away the invading army of the kingdom, killing 700,000 invading enemies, forcing the empire to pay compensation and apologize to the dynasty...all these events were read out by the Minister of the Protectorate, Okasos, and he was the only one who had the qualification to do so.

This is different from weddings in dynastic history.

The achievements of other princes in history are suspected to be false. After all, you can't expect a noble son to accomplish any great deeds, so they can only use false means to deceive the common people and improve their evaluation of the prince.

Vega is different.

Every one of his achievements was more exaggerated than that of any other prince in history, and was not false.

Therefore, every time one of them was read out, it would be greeted with thunderous applause from the common people.

When the last item was read out, the atmosphere in the entire square had reached its peak.

This scene also made Vega completely relieved, because now the general trend is irreversible. Even if Okasos Saint Laurent, the patron saint of the dynasty, wants to stop it, the hundreds of thousands of civilians present will not agree.

without any exaggeration.

Now Vega is the recognized prince, and no one can replace him.

But just when Vega relaxed his guard and was about to stand up and walk onto the podium to perform the final ceremony, Okasos Saint Laurent finally revealed his true colors. Carol beside him jumped down from the podium and stood in front of Vega.

Okasos took the opportunity to announce loudly: "Next, please have your Highness the Prince-to-be defeat the former Guardian Knight Carol and prove your strength and bravery to the people of the country! Everyone present, please cheer for our Prince-to-be!"

"Long live His Royal Highness!"

"Long live His Royal Highness!"

"..."

The square was filled with cheers. No one paid any attention to the words "former guardian knight". They took Carol's behavior for granted as part of the wedding ceremony, and Vega was already in a difficult situation.

The higher you praise someone, the harder they will fall.

Okasos sneered at Vega under the platform. People only thought that he was very powerful, but they didn't know that most of the time he just didn't bother to use tricks, and violence was his simplest and most brutal method.

When violence doesn't solve the problem.

Okasos Saint Laurent didn't mind playing some tricks and pushing Vega to the edge of the cliff.
