Abduction 2. Marriage (2)
The election ceremony was in its final stages, but the capital was crowded with more people.
This is because Ignit’s biggest event remains.
“The tops of the world gathering in the capital city!”
Since Ignit is almost the only country worthy of being called an empire at this point, it has become a global festival attended by all heads of state.
There are Roman, Golan, and Wingsar who are trying to divide the East Continent into three, but they are still uneasy.
In terms of land size and population, it was close to an empire.
This is because the land, which is larger than the western continent, was divided into three parts. However, the problem was that it was too different from Ignit right next to it, such as military power and financial power.
In addition, there were already forces that wanted to become independent.
“Certainly, Ignit is amazing.”
“I know.”
Ignit, firmly united under the mighty emperor, did not waver.
Although the entire continent suffered great damage, Ignit suffered considerable damage as well. Not only did the Masters die or get mortally wounded, but the sacrifices of the people of the empire were also significant throughout the war.
Nevertheless, his faith in the Emperor was firm.
“I envy you.”
A leader who came across the sea from an island far to the south was jealous of the people of the empire who chanted Kariel.
It was because he was busy keeping the nobles in check.
It was the same elsewhere.
From the leaders of the New Continent to the leaders of the East Continent, as soon as they arrived at the capital, they were envious of the people of the empire who were happy and blessed Kariel’s marriage.
“This is probably the only place where everyone cheers when a leader gets married.”
King Batu of the Golans, who came from far away from the plains, said with a bitter smile.
He became a great king who unified the grasslands, but now he was uneasy.
He is stabilizing that anxiety with marriage alliances by marrying the daughters of major tribal chiefs, but it is only a temporary measure.
Will this sense of stability continue until he dies?
There was anxiety that when the time of his death approached, his children would rebel and split up.
And it wasn’t just that.
Like Golan, Wingsar and Roman were also bound by marriage alliances.
The Roman emperor made a marriage alliance with the main tribes of Sandria and the maidens of the countries that were the southern kingdoms of Wingsar.
As a result, marriage alliances became popular in the eastern continent and were established as a major method of solidifying the bonds between alliances.
On the other hand, the Emperor of Ignit was different.
“I have no intention of bringing in the Empress. One is enough!” His Majesty the Emperor, who has no intention of bringing in the Empress!”
Many people were puzzled and congratulated Kariel’s decision to marry only one empress, let alone a marriage alliance.
In particular, is it because of a relationship that has been around for a long time?
“Long time love. What finally came to fruition?”
「As a result of looking at only one person like a sunflower since the princess days, I finally captured the heart of His Majesty the Emperor!」
「Gongnyeo → Treasurer of the Principality → Top 10 Lord of the Empire → Empress! Let’s take a look at her life!”
The life story of Ayla, who eventually became empress as a single candidate, has become a dream for many women.
In particular, the fact that he monopolized the emperor’s love seemed to live with envy.
“It is different from other countries! Ignit can only marry one person?」
“All major ministers declare that they will marry for love!”
Those who were semi-forced into a relationship at the banquet hall.
At the emperor’s order, all those who were lukewarm about marriage seemed to have grown fond of each other as they looked at each other half-forced throughout the election ceremony.
Of course, there were many people who diverged from each other, but thanks to that, it became more firmly established as a custom of Ignit.
“The arranged marriage is an old custom! Leave the remnants of the past!”
With the emperor actively encouraging love marriage and all high-ranking officials moving towards it, it was highly likely that arranged marriage would gradually become an old custom.
The core of the empire said that all of them would marry for love, but what would they do?
As a result, lovers who are passionately in love in other countries began to set their sights on coming over to Ignit.
In the midst of everyone’s envy, the wedding finally began.
“Your Majesty, the preparations are complete.”
“after… … It takes a long time.”
Many people exclaimed in admiration when Kariel went out in a well-groomed fashion in a perfectly equipped outfit after a long time.
Even though Salvator was in a position where he couldn’t even dare to be the most handsome man on the continent, that didn’t mean that Cariel was a face that would be spoiled anywhere.
It’s because I only see a longing look on my face emaciated from working overtime every time, Kariel’s appearance as she walks with a solemn face made most handsome men tell her to go away.
“Branch.”
“Yes! your majesty.”
At Kariel’s command, all the Masters standing in front bowed their heads in unison.
An escort made up of masters and above, which none of the previous emperors had attempted.
Two Grand Masters stood on either side, followed by the Masters in line.
The people of the Empire who watched the scene from the plaza with a huge video sphere unknowingly exclaimed exclamations.
While this alone is shocking enough, the scene that followed was even more spectacular.
Hundreds of airships floating in the sky all at once lowered banners to congratulate Kariel’s marriage, and numerous small planes flew and scattered pollen.
“this… … Is it the most powerful country in the world?”
“her… … .”
While Kariel went to the wedding hall, envoys from different countries stared blankly at the celebration as countless magic embroidered the sky.
This is because they have seen a lot of magic that contains the essence of magic engineering that they cannot imitate.
In fact, Kariel had no intention of having such a glamorous wedding.
“Just do it roughly.”
It meant that we didn’t have enough money already, so we didn’t want to waste money on useless things. But everyone, including the ministers, was against it. Even the people of the Empire were against it.
The reason was simple.
“You must show the majesty of the empire.”
“you’re right! We need to make sure other countries imprint on this opportunity that there is a difference that cannot be surpassed.”
“That’s right!”
All the ministers unanimously made this claim.
It was the same with the people of the empire.
From countries on the eastern continent that divided the continent into three, to countries that dare to compete with Ignit while devouring huge territories in the new continent.
It had to be shown against all these countries.
“We have to show that we are the most powerful country in the world!”
Even Chancellor Luther, famous for being a salty man, said this.
That’s how important it was to protect Ignit’s pride. This is because the benefits of becoming the center of the world beyond simply defending one’s pride were enormous.
「The center of world trade」
The gains from defending this title far outweighed the wasted costs.
That’s why the essence of Ignit’s skills was shown through this wedding.
Everyone stared at the sky in awe, then looked at the huge video sphere again.
“Ohhh… … .”
The power of fire that Kariel showed when he became emperor.
As they slowly ascended to the Sanctuary, which is now the center of the Temple of Fire, numerous fire spirits began to appear.
After the war, while staying in the capital, the fire spirits were born naturally with the waves created by Kariel.
Numerous fireballs revolving around Kariel showed many people why he was a hero who saved the continent.
With the blessings of the spirits, Kariel arrived at the wedding hall.
Then Ayla, the bride-to-be, slowly descended from the sky.
Ayla descends from the air without any equipment through the magic of dozens of small planes.
Everyone was amazed at the sight.
What was even more surprising was when we almost reached the ground.
Kariel made wings of fire herself and landed on the ground holding Ayla.
“It is truly overwhelming.”
A reporter from the East Continent muttered blankly.
Immediately after the wedding, the title of the article that would pour out came to mind.
“A wedding that no one can imitate”
It was a wedding that only the emperor of Ignit, and Kariel at that, could do.
The Bishop of the Temple of Fire, who officiated the ceremony, said good things and held several events, but people couldn’t concentrate, perhaps because the events in front were too big.
Perhaps the organizers of the event knew that too, quickly overcoming the boring part and ending the wedding with Kariel and Ayla kissing.
“I sincerely congratulate the two of you on your marriage.”
The moment the last words of the ceremony were over, everyone blessed Kariel’s marriage.
The birth of the empress was celebrated with cheers from the entire capital.
All procedures ended with a splendid wedding ceremony that will go down in history.
“envious.”
At Luffiel’s words, Kariel smiled.
Eyes that give the illusion that the feeling of envy is dripping down.
“If you are envious, you will get married too.”
“after… … .”
Luffiel thought for a moment at Kariel’s words and then shook his head. This is because if they married prematurely, there was a high possibility that Kariel would find weakness and take over the throne.
So, starting with the Crown Prince Luffiel, the ministers come to bless Kariel’s marriage one by one.
“Your Majesty, too, has begun to walk the path of hell.”
“please… … Unlike us, I hope that happiness lasts a little longer… … .”
Middle-aged ministers with sad faces.
On the other hand, young people showed envy.
“I must get married early, too, bro.”
“I envy you.”
Seriel and Luther were envious of Kariel, who would live with his wife in the future.
Cariel, who smiled as if it was fun to see the servants with different positions, finally welcomed the envoys from each country.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Congratulations on your marriage.”
From the king of Wingsar to the king of the Golan, the emperor of the Romans, and even the man who is now king was congratulated.
Kariel received such formal congratulations and gifts.
Although I couldn’t greet everyone who came to celebrate, I still had to receive congratulations from the leaders of the highest ranks, so it was time to shake hands and receive presents.
“Congratulations on your Majesty’s marriage.”
“Nice to meet you.”
The leader of an unknown country in the new continent.
His sharp eyes caught my heart, but it was when Kariel, who smiled hard, was about to move on like that.
“your majesty.”
Cariel tilted his head at the words he called to him and looked at the unknown king.
“I have something to tell you.”
“What to say?”
At the words of the unknown king, Kariel frowned.

Just looking at it, I knew that it wasn’t like a congratulatory greeting, so I looked at Tharion with my eyes.
Then, the master-level personnel who were escorting them covered the surroundings.
“What is it?”
“Do you want to be a god? Or do you want to stand by?”
sudden half-talk.
However, knowing that he didn’t say anything, I looked at him quietly.
“Who told you to tell me?”
“The person who occupied the highest point in the new continent told me to tell it.”
At his unknown words, Kariel looked at Tarion.
“bump… … It’s like the existence of Quetzalcoatl.”
“He told me to tell again, the void of the disappeared god… … Do you know the confusion it caused?”
A giant snake that occupied the highest mountain in the New World.
The snake, which was simply gigantic, became a problem recently when the snake, which had been sleeping, woke up and began to eat the remnants of ancient times that had passed over from the continent.
It is said that the snake, which became stronger and stronger while eating the remnants of the ancient times, is now reborn as a divine being as it handles various powers.
Of course, from the point of view of Ignit, who saw a real ‘god’ class existence, it was just a big monster, but from the point of view of the new continent, it was different.
“Is it one of those reported earlier?”
“That’s right.”
Tarion bowed his head at Kariel’s words.
“Do you have spirituality beyond simply blooming power?”
Perhaps he had learned some of the secrets of the world.
From the perspective of Tarion and others, it was seen as a divine beast that absorbed the power of some of the ancient remnants scattered across the western continent, but Kariel was different.
A blank space where the real ‘God’ has disappeared.
I was curious about the existence of Quetzalcoatl who talked about it.
“after… … Maybe the honeymoon will be really long.”
At his words, the eyes of the Masters nearby trembled.
“First of all, thank you for coming to tell me.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
An unknown king of the new continent who resigned by bowing his head in greeting.
And after that, Kariel, who heard more of these words from some of the leaders, fell into trouble with a serious expression on her face.
“Baldr… … .”
Calling out the name of the now-disappeared god, Kariel quietly looked up at the sky.
A world where God has disappeared.
Something was about to happen because of that.
