456. King Has A Queen

The Archbishop started in his hoarse old voice, "Into this union, Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon and Emma Vanity now come to be joined. If any of you can show just cause why they may not be lawfully wed, speak now, or else forever hold your peace."

None moved, Magnus would have chopped their heads right there if someone had dared create such a drama.

The Archbishop continued as he addressed Magnus and Emma, "I charge you both, here in the presence of God and the witness of this company, that if either of you knows any reason why you may not be married lawfully and in accordance with God's Word, do now confess it."

Magnus glared at the Archbishop with eyes that could burn. The old man started sweating. He spoke to Emma, "Emma Vanity, will you have this man to be your husband; to live together with him in the covenant of marriage? Will you love him, comfort him, honour and keep him, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful unto him as long as you both shall live?"

"I will," Emma quickly nodded her head strongly.

He turned to Magnus," Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon, will you have this woman to be your wife; to live together with her in the covenant of marriage? Will you love her, comfort her, honour and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all others, be faithful unto her as long as you both shall live?"

"I WILL!" He loudly replied, loud and clear that everyone hears. This was his girl, anyone that dares to have any mean thoughts will face the fate of French nobles.

The Archbishop faced the crowd and spoke, "Will all of you witnessing these promises do all in your power to uphold these two persons in their marriage?"

"We will," they all shouted, particularly Ragnar, Severus and his siblings being the loudest. Grace would have done the same if she didn't have to maintain her image of grace.

"Who gives this woman to be married to this man?" the old man asked.

Quickly Emma's father spoke from the side closeby. "She gives herself, with the blessing of her mother and father," the man was a step away from crying. Emma glared at him. Just then some hymns started.

Once they ended, the ceremony continued. It was time for the vows. Magnus took her right hand gently into his. Then in the most loving and calm voice, he spoke, "In the name of God, I, Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon, take you, Emma Vanity, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death. This is my solemn vow. I love you,"

The last three words were added from his part. She blushed uncontrollably. The Archbishop too chuckled and gestured for Emma to take her vows. They dropped the hand and this time she took his hand in hers.

"In the name of God, I, Emma Vanity, take you, Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until we are parted by death. This is my solemn vow. I love you too." She ended her vows with a reply.

Magnus grinned ear to ear. They let each other's hands go. Following this, Maximus brought the ring carefully. The Archbishop gave a blessing on them, "Bless, O Lord, these rings as a symbol of the vows by which this man and this woman have bound themselves to each other; through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Then Magnus picked one and placed the ring on the left ring finger of Emma's hand while reciting, "I give you this ring as a symbol of my love, and with all that I am, and all that I have, I honour you, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

She soon did the same while reciting the lines. Then Archbishop lifted both their right hands and joined them together, saying, "Now that Emma Vanity and Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon have given themselves to each other by solemn vows, with the joining of hands and the giving and receiving of rings, I pronounce that they are husband and wife, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Those whom God has joined together, let no one put asunder."

At that, everyone responded together, "Amen."

After that, some prayers were spoken by the old man while Magnus continued to lovingly look at his bride. Soon, the ceremony nearly came to an end.

"The peace of the Lord be with you always."

The crowd replied, "And also with you."

Then finally, the Archbishop asked, "Emma Vanity and Magnus Grant Emrys Pendragon, having witnessed your vows of love to one another, it is my joy to present you to all gathered here as husband and wife. Your Majesty, You may kiss the bride."

"Finally," Magnus muttered as he cupped Emma into his arm by her waist, pulling her so her body was touching him like they were a single wall. He looked into her eyes with a smile, "You can't run now even if you want to,"

"Oh please, I just want to rest after chasing after you for years," she replied.

"Then you deserve a reward," He kissed her passionately. It only lasted 7 seconds but the crowd started to clap or whistle while shouting. A lot of the guests were great friends of Magnus after all.

After this, they were to leave Westminster Abbey, get on their horse-driven carriage and head home. He held her hand in his and slowly walked out.

As they did that, the crowd started to throw flower petals on them, making it rain. Emma was mesmerised by this. Cameras flashed, capturing the romantic and beautiful moments.

"AYE! MY BROTHER GOT MARRIED!" Ragnar shouted loudly, he was happy no matter what he used to say.

Grace appeared behind him with eyes full of greed, "Son, next is your number,"

Ragnar's face fell in an instant. Magnus and Emma laughed after seeing this. There was also Severus, giving a silent nod, while his mother was clapping and crying for some reason. Bobby too was happy and jumping as if it was his own marriage. Dumbledore was also there, smiling beside Adam. Everyone was pleased.

He soon arrived outside, a golden carriage with various decorations was there waiting. It was driven by 6 white horses. Magnus talked to all of them, "Do a good job if you want treats,"

The 6 nodded their heads and made noises. Emma loved it, "You know, seeing you talk to animals really turns me on."

"Good, I won't have to work on turning you on in a few minutes then," he replied. She punched his side, blushingly.

"TAKE US TOO!"

Magnus chuckled. Even before him, Emma extended her hand and allowed Maximus, Clementia and Aurelia to get on the carriage. It was big enough for them to have a seat.

The carriage started to move. There was a crowd on both sides, cheering and declaring their love for the two. Magnus had truly brought back the days when people loved the monarchy.

"Keep your eyes on the sky," he told Emma.

Soon enough, she noticed loud noise approaching them. And as she guessed, a long line of helicopters approached them. From the sky, they started throwing flower petals at them. In an instant, the entire road was full of pleasant fragrance.

*WOOSH*

After that, 7 fighter jets flew by above them, laying down a road of colourful clouds of red, blue and white colour. Today, all the military enthusiasts were going to scratch their heads because neither the helicopters nor the jets were from any army or company out there. But the truth was, all these were soon to be launching FutureTek Defence's products.

"Look there, that's Duck, disguised as a plane," he pointed.

Duck was far away in the sky, flying over Buckingham Palace, using smoke to create something. If one were to be near him, they'd hear his cute singing "I got a mum, I got a dad, I'm always happy, never gonna be sad."

As the carriage reached the palace, Duck's artwork was also completed. The good boy had drawn a heart in the sky, on one side was written Magnus and on the other was Emma.

She held Magnus' hand tightly, away from the public eye, "Thank you for all this. Have I ever told you that I love you?"

"I don't remember, maybe I will have to properly search you and try to revitalise my memory," he cheekily replied and allowed her to rest her head on his shoulder.

Magnus continued, "This is just the start, we have a whole two-month-long holiday planned in Monaco. For the first month, it'll be just the two of us, then in December the whole family will join for the New Year and Christmas."

She was excited about this and fiddled with her ring, "It's going to be so much fun... and romantic."

"Everything's fun and romantic with you. Let's go in." He got down from the carriage and gave his hand to help her. His three siblings jumped down on their own and ran into the Palace.

Magnus and Emma waved at the crowd and the camera for a few seconds and then left. There was not going to be any public speech, as today it was time reserved only for Magnus and Emma. Unofficially dubbed as the Power Couple.
