Early the next morning.

A swarm of maids roused Silby from her meditation.

The wedding time announced by the Queen has arrived. It is an extremely grand ceremony. On this day, they will dress up and go out.

The first thing that was brought up was an extremely gorgeous red leather vest with crisscross red gold brooches on it.

Silby skillfully opened his arms and allowed the maid to put the vest on him. After putting on the vest, the maid brought a gold-plated robe decorated with dark blue and crimson feathers. After he put on the cloak

The maid fetched another pair of soft riding boots and helped him put them on.

After putting these on, the maid took out a silver plate. On the plate were some fragmentary but indispensable accessories: a gemstone ring to wear on her hand, and a crown studded with gemstones, which reflected the rainbow light with a little movement.

.

The maid sighed while serving Silby.

"You are so handsome. You are truly a born king."

Silby looked at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a tall crown and was dressed extremely luxuriously. Even more luxurious than his father Ramiro I's dress.

He couldn't help but think of his father. If he saw him like this, would he be happy or angry?

After watching for a while, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "How can I become a true king without the blessing of the church and the royal authority granted by heaven."

The maid's fingers trembled slightly and she knocked down a gold brooch.

After finishing dressing, the maid left.

The guards in iron armor came forward and opened the palace door for him. The doors rumbled open layer by layer, leading straight to the outermost layer.

The road is straight and covered with red flowers.

Silby walked through the flowers with an expressionless face. Every time he passed an armored guard, the armored guard knelt down on one knee and clenched a fist with one hand on his chest.

That loyal gesture is enough to move even the most demanding ruler.

However, Silby remained expressionless, neither praising the guards nor letting them get up. He just walked to the main gate of the palace without any distractions.

Large white flowers were placed in front of the huge palace, and the sunlight hit the ground, making the floor sparkle. The carriages coming to attend the wedding were lined up outside the door, which highlighted the luxurious atmosphere.

And on the golden chariot in the center, Queen Pandora is already waiting for her.

The steward of the palace knelt down on one knee and handed Silby a silver sword decorated with gems and dragon bones.

According to the ancient customs of the Iberian Peninsula, the groom must wear a sword and stand beside the bride on the wedding day to protect the bride from being snatched away by others.

Although he is a wizard or a king, this custom still continues.

Silby walked towards the chariot with his sword in hand, while a group of slaves knelt on the ground.

Silby stepped on the slave'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 wore an ivory silk dress and skirt with countless silver patterns on the skirt. Her cloak was made of white velvet.

There are no patterns on it. Compared with the luxurious Silby, she looks a bit plain. She looks like a female peacock next to a male peacock.

The palace door opened, and the motorcade rumbled into action, heading down the mountain.

"What is this doing?"

Silby asked interestingly.

"Go to the largest square in Pandora."

The queen sat upright and answered him, "There are gods there to bless us."

"Oh? Which god?"

Silby bent down and whispered in the bride's ear: "By the way, my father is a Catholic. If your beliefs conflict with mine, I will..."

"What do you want?"

The Queen interrupted him with a smile.

Silby shrugged, "I'm going to break up with my poor father."

"Shh, don't talk too much."

The Queen smiled enigmatically and extremely dignifiedly: "Others will despise you."

"You seem to be very experienced?"

Silby asked reluctantly: "Why are you so skilled?"

"I got married once, but you weren't happy with it."

The Queen made a rare joke with him, her charming eyes under the white gauze.

"It's not that I'm not happy, I'm just afraid that you might want to marry me a third time."

As he said this, Sylbi started laughing: "I'm still young, and I want to marry a few more."

"I would be very grateful if you didn't say anything."

The Queen said: "We are going out soon."

They were close to the bottom of the mountain, and there was still the last city wall before Pandora City outside.

Before reaching the city wall, Silby heard faint cheers outside. He felt that the cheers were no different from the cheers of Muggles watching the execution of wizards. The citizens of Pandora had never seen him, and their love for the Queen of Pandora may be limited. But

As long as there is excitement to participate in, people will flock there, wise or not.

squeak.

A group of strong men turned the wheel vigorously and pushed open the huge iron door that separated the palace from the outside world.

In an instant, cheers flooded Sylby like sea water.

He saw a row of dancers walking on stilts in the middle of the road. They had red skirts like umbrella crowns and danced as they walked. Musicians, drummers, flute players and fiddlers were playing and singing on the street.

Group after group of Pandora's acrobatic troupe either somersaulted or walked out upside down, sometimes balancing on one foot on the plate, sometimes forming a big pyramid together.

On one side of the road, a giant brown bear danced clumsily with an Oriental cobra under the command of flutes and drums.

They were all citizens of Pandora who spontaneously came to watch this grand celebration.

Silby felt that if he had seen these things a few years ago, he would have jumped with excitement. If the female official did not come to him, he could play outside for a month. But now, he has to be like his father

, stand upright and do not squint.

The motorcade rumbled past the reveling crowd.

Although the Queen is wearing a veil, she can still vaguely see her beautiful face under the veil.

As she passed by, the men opened their mouths and drooled. Even the clown throwing the oranges forgot what he was doing and let the oranges roll to the ground.

The flute-playing wizard also put down his flute and stared blankly at the Queen's chariot passing by. As soon as the flute sound stopped, the clumsy dancing brown bear and cobra immediately fought together.

The chaos caused by the Queen's beauty did not last long.

Soon, guards in golden robes separated the crowd. Knights on white horses cleared a path for the Queen and Silby to pass by.

Soon, they arrived at the central square of the city.

Silby was taken to a dark room by the palace's etiquette officer and taught various rituals and rules.

Queen Pandora was taken into another dark room and had to stay there until the ceremony officially began.

The etiquette officer was probably afraid that Silby didn't understand anything and would lose the face of all previous Pandora City Lords, so he took the trouble to repeat all kinds of trivial red tape with him.

Silby listened absently, but his attention was on the square outside.

The wizards invited by the queen got out of the carriage one after another.

Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor were also among them.

Under the guidance of the attendants, they sat on the long tables displayed in the square one by one, waiting for the ceremony and banquet to begin, and watching the performance before the grand ceremony.

Not only that, but there were also many wizards who had never met before coming from all directions. They wore all kinds of clothes, spoke different languages ​​to each other, and sat in the square making a lot of noise.

Seeing all this in the dark room, Silby was a little excited. The number of wizards outside satisfied him.

"...When you give the gift to Queen Beatrix, she will give you the wand representing the rights of the kingdom, understand? Hey... Lord Silby, you heard

Did I speak?"

The etiquette officer saw that Silby was absent-minded, so he kept reminding him. Silby grinned, revealing a row of white teeth: "Of course, I am always ready."

Soon, the ceremony began. Queen Pandora sat on a golden sedan chair and was carried by servants to the center of the square, facing the steps of the wide marble square.

At the same time, rows of food fell from the sky, which were wine in silver jugs, cakes stuffed with pork, pine nuts and eggs, sweet corn crumbs, and baked oatmeal crusts mixed with chopped dates, apples and oranges.

and wild boar rib meat.

They landed on each banquet table with precision, as if they were conjured out of thin air.

The banquet hadn't started yet, the king hadn't entered the venue yet, and no one else had done anything. But Slytherin picked up a piece without hesitation and stuffed it into his mouth as if no one was watching.

Gryffindor held his wrist and whispered: "Salazar, please be polite."

Slytherin rolled his eyes and laughed: "When your servant becomes the king one day, you will know that all etiquette is nonsense."

"You still regard him as your servant?" Gryffindor asked worriedly.
