After a day's rest in the Austro-Hungarian delegation, the next day Edel personally came to greet the Austro-Hungarian Princess Sophie Marie to go to the rehearsal. In the hall, the two young lovers looked at each other, although there was basically a letter two or three days before. , But still can't alleviate the pain of each other's lovesickness.
"I have seen Her Royal Highness Edel." Princess Sophie Marie greeted Edel with a blushing face in front of everyone.
Edel walked to the princess and took her hand and said. "Sophie Marie, I'll pick you up for the rehearsal."
Compared with Sophie Marie's embarrassed expression in front of everyone, Edel is much more generous, probably because of his thicker skin. Everyone laughed kindly as they watched the performance of the two young lovers. This made Sophie Marie's pretty face even redder, but she still didn't break free from the crown prince and held her hand, which is regarded as the performance of the crown prince by default.
"Then let's go."
Finally, Grand Duke Otto Franz, the princess's father, said that it relieved the embarrassment of the princess. After hearing her father's words, the princess blushed and stepped on small steps and quickly pulled Edel into the carriage that greeted them.
Looking at his daughter's performance, Grand Duke Otto Franz smiled bitterly, and said to the elder brother, Grand Duke Ferdinand, the Crown Prince. "It seems that my daughter doesn't belong to me now."
"But she also found her own happiness, and she also got blessings from everyone, didn't she?" Grand Duke Ferdinand said to his brother. He thought of his marriage, and finally found true love, but the nobility and royal family all opposed it. After more than ten years of this, he still couldn't get the support of most people. Now the aristocratic circle still doesn't accept his wife. In his heart, he is quite old about it, but there is nothing to do.
Grand Duke Otto Franz looked at his brother's dim and melancholy gaze. He didn't know where he was touched, so he could only pat him on the shoulder and say words of comfort. "Brother, don't think too much, they will eventually accept Sophie and Hornberg will become your queen."
After hearing his brother's words, Grand Duke Ferdinand knew that they were just words of comfort. If the Austro-Hungarian nobles and other members of the royal family were really so easy to succumb, he wouldn't need to be sad about it for more than a decade. The crown prince was still sober, knowing that it was not the time to be sad, and got up and got into the carriage with his younger brother, Grand Duke Otto Franz, ready to watch the rehearsal.
Under the path of the officers and soldiers of the Guard Division, a group of people took a carriage to the first stop. The Cathedral of the Chiefs, the headquarters of the Romanian Orthodox Church, where they will receive the blessing of the Patriarch Baldochven I.
In the driving carriage, Edel looked at his lovely fiancee, took her by the hand and asked. "Mary, I am in Romania and I miss you every day."
When he said this, Edel couldn't help but think of his two maids. At the beginning of August, he sent the two maids to Constanta and gave them a new life.
After hearing Edel's love words, Sophie Mary is much better than everyone else. "I miss you Edel, too, and I miss you every day in Vienna."
The two lived in a two-person world in a carriage, and the maid Anna in the carriage behind was sitting sulking.
"The princess doesn't care about Anna when she sees the crown prince." She whispered in a voice that only she could hear.
After a while, the carriage came to the Emirates Cathedral, and the group got out of the carriage and looked at the small church in front of them. The Emirates Cathedral is a masonry structure with a worship hall that can accommodate two hundred people. It has four obvious cylindrical attics, with a huge cross inlaid on the top of the attic.
The Chiefs' Cathedral was built in the 17th century and is now the headquarters of the Romanian Orthodox Church. It is located on a hill in the south of Bucharest. In charge of nearly 10,000 clergy in Romania, Baldochven I, as their supreme leader, will certainly not let go of the role of officiating the wedding ceremony for the crown prince. After all, even the most powerful Russian patriarch in the Orthodox diocese has to succumb to the royal power, not to mention that in Romania, a country where the royal power is prosperous, the patriarch is now welcoming their group at the entrance of the church.
"Good day, your Royal Highness." Patriarch Baldochven I spoke to Edel first.
"I have seen the Patriarch, this time I will trouble you."
Eder is also full of respect for the 67-year-old man. After all, the old man still needs respect. Then the patriarch showed good wishes to the other protagonist of the wedding, Princess Sophie Marie. Although she still believes in Catholicism, the princess still greeted the patriarch politely. After greeting Grand Duke Otto Franz and Grand Duke Ferdinand, a group of people entered the church under the leadership of these clergy.
"His Royal Highness, you only need to walk in according to the procedure, and I will preside over the wedding for the two. The diocese has prepared two choirs specifically for this wedding, both of which are children selected from various churches in Romania. Among them, the princess consists of four girls. Accompany and lead to your Highness." Patriarch Baldochven I personally explained the process of the church to the two newcomers.
"The Romanian Royal Family is very grateful to the Patriarch for his support to the wedding." After listening to the Patriarch's explanation, Edel said thankfully.
Edel and Princess Sophie Marie discussed with the Patriarch for a while, and went to the scene once~www.mtlnovel.com~ The two Austro-Hungarian princes accompany the whole process, and each has its own role. Grand Duke Otto Franz is responsible for leading The daughter enters the arena and gives her to Edel. Archduke Ferdinand delivered a congratulatory message from Austria-Hungary. After all this was done, the group said goodbye to the patriarch and left.
"Thank you, your patriarch, for your hard work." Edel thanked Baldochven I very sympathetically.
As a 67-year-old man, Baldochven is already tired. However, he would not show it before the crown prince, and blessed the crown prince with strong spirits. "It's not too hard. May the Father, Son and Holy Spirit be with you."
After saying goodbye to the patriarch, the Crown Prince and his party left the Chiefs' Cathedral. After Baldochven I watched the crown prince walk away, he sat on the bench with a tired look.
The waiter next to the Patriarch came forward to help him, and asked with concern. "Your Patriarch, are you okay?"
Baldock waved his hand to indicate that he did not need to be supported. "I don't have a problem, I can only take a break when I'm tired."
"Your Patriarch, I don't know something." The waiter asked him.
"Let's talk about it."
Looking at the young waiter in front of him, Baldochven asked him to ask questions. Everyone in the church knows that he is a kind and friendly patriarch and is willing to help others with questions.
"Why do you respect the crown prince so much? You don't have such an attitude when facing His Majesty the King."
Faced with the waiter's question, Patriarch Baldochvan smiled and said. "That's because first; from the development and growth of Romania under the leadership of the crown prince in recent years, it can be seen that he is a very capable person with his own ideas. Second; he is still very young and only 21 years old."
This young waiter understands roughly what the patriarch means.
