Chapter 45 - Grand Wedding

"Nanny Rose had already personally given it to her," Steward Ben answered respectfully.

Leon nodded. He specifically prepared that piece. The Albrecht brides all have heirlooms passed by the family, but he doesn't want Anika to wear those tainted things.

So, he decided to make a new one, especially for her. He personally designed the crown and chose the gems to be used. It can be said that the luxury piece was put together with a lot of thought.

Suddenly, someone chuckled beside him.

"Are you nervous?" A man's teasing voice asked.

It was one of Leon's few good friends. Alexander.

Leon did not answer and only stood ramrod straight, staring at the big church door.

Alexander shook his head. He didn't expect he would one day witness Leon like this.

And he's actually pretty sneaky too. This would be the first time he and the people in their circle would see Leon's wife. This man had guarded his wife tightly.

He also turned to the door when the wedding bells rang, a sign that the bride was here. He excitedly tapped on Leon's shoulders.

Leon fixed his coat, and his eyes held warmth in them, staring intently at the door.

Finally, the grand doors slowly opened, and the most enchanting figure was revealed. Gasps can be heard from the place, from guests who marveled at the beauty of his bride.

'Yes, look at my beautiful baby, she's the best.' Leon whispered proudly in his heart.

Anika only saw brightness flash when the door opened. When she adjusted her sight, her breath was caught. A marvelous scene unfolded before her.

The orchestra started playing, and her feet started to head to the man at the altar. While she walked, flower petals fell from the air.

He was very beautiful, and in Anika's eyes, she saw her shining prince charming. Her eyes started to water.

Suddenly, remembering her time in the tower, it felt like it was a faraway memory, as her life right now was full of bliss because of this man.

They said she gives fortune to her owner, but why does it feel like she's more fortunate to meet a prince like Leon?

On the other side, Leon stood straight, watching his wife slowly approach him. Everything was already going slow, but even more when in his eyes, it became in slow motion.

His heart was in conflict about whether to savor the moment, or whether he wanted to fast forward and hold his wife in his arms right at this moment.

Until finally, Anika arrived before him. He held out his hand to her, and slowly she gave hers.

A complete sense of satisfaction filled in his heart. The both of them faced the altar, and the wedding proper commenced.

"I, Leon Albrecht,

take you, Anika Albrecht,

to be my lawful wife, my partner in life, and my one true love.

I will love and cherish you more each day than yesterday.

I vow to give you my trust and respect, the apex of my heart.

I vow that my eyes would mirror only you, and my heart would beat just for you.

On this day, in front of the Almighty and the many,

I ask you to be mine, in this life and till our next lifetimes."
