Chapter 817 A new age
Angela just ignored all of the gazes that were on her, but I didn’t.
I could see that there were a few gazes from people that could be considered disrespectful and since she was about to become my wife…I naturally wouldn’t forget or forgive them.
I would make sure to get the fourth prince to deal with them later.
Or at least that was what I thought until I noticed that the fourth prince had also noted these people. At the same time, it wasn’t just the fourth prince alone who noted these people.
The king also had slightly narrowed eyes as he looked over the crowd.
It seemed that even without me saying anything, they would have taken care of this matter.
Still, I had to say something since I was her husband.
I wouldn’t want to let my wife feel like she was being ignored right after we got married.
After Angela walked through the church, she came over to my side with a smile and I reached my hand out for her.
Once she took my hand, we stood there in front of the altar where there was a priest waiting.
Only this wasn’t any priest.
This was the cardinal of this religion, the one that was just below the pope that had been sent to this kingdom to watch over the branch of the religion that was based in this kingdom.
This was the highest church official of this kingdom, but now they were acting as the priest of a wedding.
That was just how important this royal wedding was.
Not to mention, the cardinal was actually quite the kind hearted person and seemed to enjoy watching young love. It seemed like he could pick up the small signs from us that showed that we indeed loved each other, so it seemed that he supported us.
The rest of the wedding just went as the ceremony dictated.
There was nothing unexpected that happened during the ceremony, though there were times that seemed like people wanted to act.
In the end, it seemed that these were all just false signs.
Everyone knew how important this royal wedding was, so they weren’t foolish enough to try anything during the wedding itself. If they were to try anything, it would have been done before or after the wedding.
After all, if the groom were to die right after the wedding…
Well there was nothing that could be done.
But I knew that the fourth prince wouldn’t allow something like that to happen. Especially with what was about to happen after this.
I had already seen the fourth prince’s defense plans, so I knew that there wouldn’t be a problem.
First was the vows and then the exchanging of the rings, followed by the kiss.
Once that was all over, the ceremony was over and everyone seemed like they were getting ready to come forward to surround us. After all, this was the only time that they would have to talk to us and get the chance to get closer to us.
Or at least that would have been the case if not for the king making his move first.
As for what the king did…
The king came out from the private seat that he had along with the fourth prince.
The moment that the two of them appeared, they immediately became the center of attention.
However, there wasn’t a single person who came forward to greet the two of them.
All of them could see that there was a specific reason for the two of them to appear at a time like this, so they maintained their silence to see what would happen.
The king and the fourth prince came forward to stand in front of us before the king reached his hands out towards Angela.
She went forward with a smile and entered his arms.
As the king hugged her, he said, “I never thought that I would live to see this day, but I did in the end. I’m really happy to see that you were able to get married in the end.”
Angela and I both slightly knitted our brows since it sounded a bit strange the way that he said this, but in the end, Angela just said with a touched look, “Royal father, thank you for everything.”
The king patted her on the back of her hand before turning to look at the crowd.When they heard this, they immediately focused their attention on the king.
Everyone could see that the king seemed to have something that he wanted to say, so they didn’t want to miss a single thing that he said.
The king remained silent for a bit before taking a deep breath and saying, “Everyone, with my daughter getting married, I can see that a new age is coming. I’ve been getting older as time passes and it doesn’t seem fit that I remain in my position as this new age comes.”
Shocked looks appeared on everyone’s face when they heard this.
After all, not a single person had expected the king to suddenly talk about something like this.
There were no signs at all that the king would be passing down the throne for ages, but now for him to suddenly mention something like this…
It seemed like the royal family had made their plans a long time ago?
Everyone glanced at the fourth prince who had been following behind the king the entire time.
The looks in their eyes made it clear that all of them thought that he would be the king’s successor.
Though if one thought about it, it made sense.
The only other child that the king had left was the princess and she had just gotten married.
So it wasn’t as if she would be able to take the throne now.
The fourth prince was also the most competent one, everyone knew how terrifying he was based on what had happened recently.
So they were all waiting for the king to pass the throne to him.
But they were all shocked when they heard what he had to say next.
