Chapter 358 One Emperor and Three Empresses, A Grand Wedding
Holy Empire, Arron City, St. Lucias Cathedral.

Beneath the massive Gothic dome, candlelight flickered and hymns echoed.

The stained glass windows cast dappled light and shadows onto the jewel-encrusted altar.

The air was filled with the scents of frankincense and myrrh. Pope Damir, holding a gilded scepter, awaited the start of the ceremony.

The most handsome young emperor in the history of the Empire, Lien Moria, wearing a deep red velvet tuxedo, a mink cloak embroidered with the Moria family crest, and a crown inlaid with diamonds and rubies, strode confidently into the altar.

His sword, Enzo, now known as the "Imperial Sword," a symbol of divine royal power, hangs at his waist, its scabbard adorned with gold thread and pearls.

Twelve royal knights in full armor, holding halberds, stood in orderly ranks and escorted him toward the altar.

The church's three doors slowly opened—

Dorothy, her long purple hair styled in an updo and dressed in a magnificent red gown, appeared through the leftmost doorway. Supported by Earl Hall, she emerged slowly, her already stunning face amplified by the opulent adornments. She was like a blooming red rose, enough to eclipse all other flowers. The exquisitely dressed little girl, Alexander, held up Dorothy's skirt, a sweet smile radiating from her face.

Sophie, the icy beauty with an expressionless face, appeared through the central doorway. She wore a long white silk dress woven with silver thread, the hem embroidered with iris patterns, symbolizing purity and royalty. Her silver hair was loose, adorned only with a small diamond tiara on her forehead, and pearl earrings swayed gently with her steps. Behind her, six maids supported her three-meter-long embroidered cloak, each step as graceful as walking on clouds. Every smile and gesture captivated everyone's heart.

Catherine, already pregnant, appeared at the far right door, wearing a black dress studded with countless sparkling diamonds. Her long, black hair was styled in a high bun, adorned with exquisitely designed diamond jewelry. Her delicate makeup made her stand out even next to Dorothy and Sophie, and her beautiful eyes were filled with a misty, emotional depth. Dora, dressed in a pink bridesmaid dress, held her hand, her joyful expression freezing upon seeing Dorothy and Sophie.

All three brides were breathtakingly beautiful, and all the clergy and nobles watching in the church were amazed.

It wasn't just because of their unparalleled beauty, but also because it was an unprecedented wedding with one emperor and three empresses.

At this moment, Li En earned everyone's jealousy and envy.

Dorothy, Sophie, and Catherine all looked surprised when they saw each other.

They had no idea beforehand that there would be a third, no, a fourth person at the wedding.

Standing beside Lee En was his most trusted knight, his brother Parker, who held a tray with three crowns on it.

This is unprecedented.

The emperor crowned three empresses at once.

"Dorothy, if you change your mind now, we'll leave immediately."

Earl Hall held his daughter's hand tightly; he had never imagined that Li En would marry three women at once.

Although Earl Hall had sworn to serve Emperor Li En for life, he would not go against his daughter's wishes and trade Dorothy's happiness for a smooth career.

"Mom, you can't refuse Dad. If you refuse Dad, you'll lose to those two aunties. We can't back down now."

Alexander encouraged them.

Dorothy looked at the countless gazes in the church and thought about the consequences of her leaving.

Yes, if I leave, wouldn't that be handing over Li En to Sophie and Catherine?
“Catherine, if you want to leave, I will go back to the South with you immediately.”

Dora said to Katherine.

Catherine shook her head. "I've already promised Lee En. Even if I'm leaving, it won't be now. I can't let him lose face in front of everyone."

Catherine felt that since she was there, she shouldn't leave early, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Lee En.

Even if it's tough, we have to go through with this wedding.

As for Li En deceiving me, I can only settle the score later.

The child in her womb cannot be illegitimate; he must be Li En's eldest son. Even if he cannot inherit the throne of the empire in the future, at least he can have a respectable reputation.

Sophie, however, had just returned to her family and, being aloof, didn't know how to get along with them, so there was no one around her who could persuade her to leave.

In her world, there was only Lee Eun from the very beginning.

Once Li En appeared on the other side, she couldn't see anyone else.

A slight upturn of her lips revealed a happy smile.

When Sophie smiled, it was as if a ray of light shone into Lee Eun's heart.

All three brides came to Li En's side.

Pope Damir knew there was no turning back. He was deeply moved that the emperor had given up his papacy for three such dazzling brides.

Logically, Li En should now take the Empress's hand and swear an oath before the Pope.

Unfortunately, there were three queens present, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to hold hands with any of them.

Just as Li En was feeling awkward, a slender, fair hand landed on his.

He turned his head and saw Nancy dressed as a maid.

Even dressed as a maid, she was breathtakingly beautiful, no less so than any of the brides.

Nancy glanced at Li En indifferently, her thick eyelashes casting a shadow.

In this situation, it wouldn't be unreasonable for a maid to take the place of the three empresses and have Li En lead her in reciting the oath.

After all, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to hold hands with anyone.

Nancy just wanted to hear Lee Eun's vows.

At this moment, Li En suddenly felt a little sorry for Nancy. After officially marrying Dorothy, Sophie, and Catherine, he must give Nancy the formal title of first mistress.

Yes, even the emperor's mistresses possessed territories and supreme power.

Li En glanced gratefully at Nancy, took her hand, and said to Pope Damir,

"In the name of the God of Tiger, I, Lien Moria, ruler of the Holy Empire, today take Dorothy Hall as my Red Queen, Sophie Omar as my White Queen, and Catherine Rocher Hernandez Mehliban Jackson as my Black Queen, as my lawful wives and co-rulers of the Empire. I will protect you with my sword and honor until the end of my life."

Li En's gaze fell on Dorothy.

Dorothy took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"I pledge my allegiance to you in the name of sword and rose, just as Saint Micah guarded the gates of heaven. I will guide the empire with wisdom and protect all people with mercy. Whether in the midst of war or in times of peace, my vow will be as firm as iron and will never fade."

Li En looked at Sophie.

Sophie felt nervous for the first time, she said.
"I am willing to serve you with loyalty and love. Just as Saint Novis protected the Church, I will protect our empire and our people."

Li En looked at Catherine.

Catherine said,
"In the name of Holy Light and Royal Authority, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you, just as Saint Margaret tamed the dragon. I will purify strife with piety and nourish the land with love. This oath is inscribed on the Holy Scriptures until the bells of Doom toll."

Pope Damir personally applied the holy oil to the foreheads of the three queens.

Li En lifted the gold crown inlaid with rubies and placed it on Dorothy's head.

Li En lifted the gold crown inlaid with white gemstones and placed it on Sophie's head.

Li En lifted the gold crown inlaid with black gemstones and placed it on Catherine's head.

Li En personally crowned the empresses and draped them in deep purple robes, symbolizing that they would henceforth share the throne with the emperor.

Li En took Nancy's hand, stood in front of everyone, and said loudly.

"Praise your Queen, and bless us."

"Praise be to the beautiful Queen, and may His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Queen live forever."

The knights shouted, "Praise be to the beautiful Queen! May His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Queen live forever!"

The nobles joined in the shouting.

After the ceremony, royal horns sounded in unison, and the nobles cheered with joy.

Outside the church, people threw flowers and bards sang hymns.

Diane quietly wiped away her tears. Kelly asked, puzzled, "Diane, why are you crying? It's His Majesty's wedding, a joyous occasion."

"Waaah, my brother got married, but I'm not the bride. I'm so sad."

Diane took a bite of a chicken leg as she spoke; only a chicken leg could soothe her heart.

Angelina, who was standing nearby, was also very sad, or even sadder than Diane.

She longed to stand beside Lee En and be the one who could hold his hand, even if it was just Nancy's place.

Angelina also wiped away her tears.

Kelly noticed that it wasn't just her two daughters wiping away tears; many noble girls were also weeping with their faces covered.

Yes, Lien Moria was the man that the noble young women of the Empire most wanted to marry, but now, this man is married, and he has married three women of unparalleled beauty and charm, leaving them with absolutely no chance.

They were even overshadowed by Nancy, the maidservant beside Li En, and believed that they would never have a chance to touch the empire's most handsome and legendary emperor.

Kelly's girlfriends were also gossiping, regretting that they hadn't made a move on Kelly's handsome nephew back then, otherwise they would have a past they could brag about now.

Parker, holding Aisley's hand, decided to hold a wedding with Aisley after his brother's wedding.

This was the first time Aislie had attended such a grand ceremony, and not only her, but the other witches also seemed quite reserved.

The witches all received noble titles, so they were all allowed to enter the palace to participate in this wedding of the century.

Ophelia, the director of the Guardian Bureau, was also present at the wedding as the only member of the Frank family whose noble status had not been revoked.

She raised her glass to offer her blessings to Li En, but a sense of inexplicable loss lingered in her heart.

Suddenly, I feel a little nostalgic for that dream.

Ophelia gave a wry smile and, accompanied by Cameron and others, silently watched Li En and his three queens.

Inside the royal banquet hall, roasted whole deer, honey-glazed peacock, and spiced wine filled the long tables. Knights competed in jousting to entertain the guests, and dancers in gorgeous costumes twirled until late at night.

The elaborate rituals on this day were the most numerous since Li En's transmigration, even surpassing those when he was crowned emperor.

Because he simplified most of the process of becoming emperor, and because there were three brides, the marriage process only increased and did not decrease.

The procession through the entire city of Arron with the three queens in a float took four hours, and then there were the banquets and dances, which took several more hours.

When it was late at night and Li En was finally able to go to the Empress's room, he was faced with another problem.

Should we go to the Red Queen Dorothy first, or the White Queen Sophie first, or the Black Queen Catherine first?

Surely not all three empresses could be together? Even if I were willing, they certainly wouldn't be.

I really wish my scumbag aunt Kelly was here with me right now, so she could give me some advice.

But she had already gone to harass Earl Hall, which led to a conflict with Tina, who had always had her eye on Earl Hall.

Sigh, I guess I'll have to rely on myself now.

Li En looked at Nancy beside her and said, "You know, today is my wedding day, and I can't be with you."

"I know."

Nancy said expressionlessly.

"But I promise I'll make it up to you later."

Li En continued.

"kindness."

Nancy nodded slightly, a hint of emotion finally appearing on her face.

"So, who do you think I should go to?"

Lee En asked.

Nancy turned and left, leaving Lee with a detached and indifferent back view.

She was angry, and she certainly had the right to be.

Lee decided to use a coin toss to decide: heads would be the Red Queen, middle would be the White Queen, and tails would be the Black Queen.

The coin bounced up and fell back down, spinning in Li En's palm—yes, right in the middle.

It seems that Sophie is his true love.

Lee decided to start the sorting from Sophie...

The wedding celebration lasted for seven days and seven nights, a nationwide celebration.

After working tirelessly for seven days and seven nights, Li En suddenly realized that marrying more people might not necessarily be a good thing.

After the wedding, Dorothy returned to the Azure Dragon Court, and Catherine returned to the South.

The two were still somewhat resentful, and Li En was indeed a bit biased.

In a total of seven days, Li En spent two days with Dorothy and Catherine, but three full days with Sophie.

Li En had no choice but to hand over all the political affairs to Earl Hall, and then go to the Azure Dragon Court to coax Dorothy, and to the Blue Moon Territory to coax Catherine.

After coaxing his wives back, having Dorothy help manage the witches, Catherine help govern the empire, and Sophie indulge in raising pets, Li En took Nancy to the sea to find his twin maids.

Li En originally thought that news of his coronation as emperor would surely spread throughout the entire continent, and that Anna and Annie would come back on their own. However, he did not expect that the two would not return for a long time.

Li En guessed that they might have encountered trouble at sea, so she decided to go and find them herself.

Anna and Anne were both very important family members to him.

Nancy hopes that Anna and Anne will never be found, so that she can stay at sea with Lee indefinitely.

Li En's entry has recently changed again because the subjects of the Holy Empire have become his believers, so his divinity has grown. Not only that, he has also successfully gotten Sophie and Dorothy pregnant.

So a year from now, he will most likely be the father of three children. Even for the sake of his unborn child, Li En will have to work hard to save the world.

Therefore, he did not intend to spend too much time at sea. If he could not find Anna and Anne within a month, he could only let nature take its course and pray that they would return safely.

Fortunately, although Nancy had a tendency to slack off, she would still do the things that Lee En asked her to do.

Sirens can command sea creatures to obtain information from the sea, thus breaking the blockage of communication in the forbidden sea.

Furthermore, since Anna and Annie are vampires created by Lee Enchu, he has a special connection with them, so finding them is not difficult as long as he gets a general location clue.
