After the reading ended, the dazed Hebrew quickly recovered.
"Alright, you're useless now."
Helena glanced at Hebrew with a hint of weariness, then a flash of silver light appeared, and before Hebrew could utter a sound, she had already taken her own life.
After Hebrew Gautama, she spat out a transparent sphere of light from her mouth, which emitted a pure glow.
"This is the Divine Martial Summoning Orb. Once you gain its approval, you can summon the Divine Martial. With the Divine Martial's assistance, I can help you break through to the Obsidian level within a day."
Bai Lishi explained.
"Ah."
Helena gave a soft "hmm".
"You seem to be in a bad state. Is it because of that young man from the Hoyle family?"
Bai Lishi asked, "I also saw the memory fragments just now."
"I do not know."
Helena got up wearily, then reached out and grabbed the ball of light, heading towards the door.
"Humans are so incompetent, yet they always make promises of eternity so easily. Love is too fake. Abandon emotions. With your talent, as long as you focus on advancement, you will become an angel in six months at most, or perhaps even less."
"That's what Bai Lishi said."
"Oh."
Helena replied calmly.
Her steps were somewhat unsteady, and she almost tripped and fell while going down the stairs.
The bartender was secretly cursing Hebrew for not knowing how to cherish women.
Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Eve of the Wedding
royal palace.
Leon mechanically finished rehearsing the wedding ceremony.
The wedding was not held in the palace, but in the Cathedral of Holy Light.
At this time, the cathedral's spacious prayer hall had been transformed into a wedding banquet hall. The walls, seats, pillars, dome... it could be said that, except for the statue of the goddess of justice at the very top, almost the entire space was filled with flowers and various silk ribbons symbolizing auspicious meanings.
Outside the cathedral in Prague's Grand Square, the smooth granite floor was polished to a mirror-like shine. A lavish red carpet stretched for nearly thirty meters from the entrance, flanked by various decorative plants. The trees throughout the square and along the surrounding streets were sprinkled with a special glittering powder concocted by alchemists. This powder was invisible during the day, but at night it emitted a soft, iridescent glow, making the entire tree resemble a colorful lantern…
The kings and queens of several allied countries of the Fester Empire also came to Guberlan. With Hawkeye's introduction, Leon met with them one by one.
In reality, these allied countries are all small nations. The big boss always has a few lackeys. The alliance is just a nice-sounding facade. In fact, the empire is still the sole dominant power, and they will attack wherever it commands.
"Lord Hawkeye."
As I walked out of the church and prepared to return to the palace, an imperial knight suddenly rushed over. Judging from the medals on his chest, he was a diamond-level knight, a captain.
"what's up?"
Eagle Eye glanced sideways.
"grown ups……"
The knight glanced at Leon beside Hawkeye, hesitated for a moment, then leaned over to Hawkeye's other side and whispered a few words in his ear.
"His Highness Leon's wedding is imminent, so let's keep this matter quiet for now."
Hawkeye said with a serious expression.
"Okay, my lord."
The knight quickly ran away.
"Sir, what has happened?"
Leon asked tentatively.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's no big deal."
Hawkeye smiled.
"Well, okay."
Since Hawkeye didn't want him to know, Leon stopped asking.
After returning to the palace and getting rid of Hawkeye, Leon quickly found the knight who had informed Hawkeye in the palace using his own methods.
"Your Highness, I cannot say. This is truly not about money."
"Then I'll pay more."
"Your Highness, please don't let this slip out. Here's what happened: I received a report of a murder. The victim was Lord Hebrew. Lord Hebrew was assassinated at the Bogle Tavern. I don't know who was so bold as to cause trouble at this critical juncture, and even target Lord Hebrew, who is a very important person!"
“Oh, this is a big deal. Listen to Hawkeye, we can’t tell anyone else. Even if they give you a lot of money, you have to be alive to spend it.”
"I will keep Your Highness's teachings in mind."
Helena really killed the Hebrews...
In that case,
Based on key moments in the original series, Helena may already be at the Obsidian level.
Obsidian-level Helena, how terrifying!
If she comes to abduct the bride...
Helena probably won't come to abduct the bride, right?
At the wedding, all twelve peerless angels of the Church of Justice were watching the entire event. If she showed up, it would be all over.
Thinking this, Leon was worried about Helena's safety. He wanted to go to Hazel, but he was stopped by the guards. He could not leave the palace before the wedding was over.
The vampires are really wicked. Why do they have to arrange marriages for me? And why choose me for a marriage alliance? Wouldn't Leon be a better match? He's an adult now and can get married.
Damn it, what was Caesar thinking?
After dinner, Leon lay on his bed in his room, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The eldest daughter of the vampire marquis's mansion...Philippa.
The vampire saintess...Philippa.
Yes, she'll soon have another identity.
That is, the Crown Princess of the Fchester Empire.
Philippa received a matriarchal education from a young age, but a girl who grew up in a matriarchal society ended up marrying into a patriarchal society.
This must have been incredibly painful. After all, given her status, she could have had countless male concubines whose looks were in no way inferior to hers as part of her harem. But after marrying Fitch, she could only be a dutiful wife who upheld her chastity.
Besides, she probably didn't like him either; it was just a forced political marriage.
Thinking about it that way, Philippa is quite pitiful.
All beings suffer; it's not easy being a person.
Leon sighed bitterly, then forced himself to go to sleep.
Thorn Forest.
At this moment, Philippa returned to her room, exhausted.
These days, she has been learning the etiquette of Guberlan from a senior vampire woman who has lived and infiltrated Guberlan for ten years.
The lifestyle of the Guberlan people is very different from that of the vampires, which makes Philippa very distressed, because if she marries into that group, she will have to give up her current routine and adapt to a new way of life.
Philippa has now advanced to the Diamond level with the help of her vampire elders.
After obtaining the demigod physique, vampires can suppress their instinct to crave blood to a certain extent and become somewhat immune to sunlight, no longer so afraid of the sun. However, silver objects are still deadly weapons to diamond-level vampires. The fear of silver seems to be ingrained in the bones of every vampire.
Along with Philippa, the elegant and mature woman with long, straight black hair, Kasalin, also learns the etiquette of Guberlan.
She will live in the palace with Philippa and protect her safety.
However, Kassa Ling learned it after only a few glances, which puzzled Philippa. Why was there such a big difference between them, even though they were both vampires?
After thinking about it, I realized that the other party was a king-level old monster, and I immediately felt better.
But the thought of Leon made her feel sad again.
In her interactions with Leon, Philippa could clearly sense that Leon was deliberately keeping his distance from her and refusing to get too close to her.
So, Leon actually doesn't like himself, right?
Philippa wondered to herself.
Historically, Philippa was not the first saint to marry a human.
The previous saintess who married a human turned her husband into a vampire and eventually controlled the entire human kingdom. Although she was eventually overthrown by her ministers, it brought a brief period of prosperity to the vampire race.
Therefore, if he could control Leon, help Leon control Fchester, and turn Leon into his blood servant, he could directly dominate the first human empire.
Such a feat will ensure that Philippa is recorded in the annals of vampire history and worshipped by countless future generations of vampires.
But this is just wishful thinking.
Back to reality, Philippa felt that the chances were still slim.
Final Chapter: Wedding
The Prague Grand Square is usually surrounded by people only during the annual festival when believers pray to the goddess together.
Of course, there are also special periods when the main square becomes overcrowded before the annual festival.
For example, a new emperor's ascension to the throne, the pope's coronation, or an emperor or prince taking a wife.
Prague Square was packed with onlookers early this morning because of the prince's wedding.
It's still early; the wedding car procession hasn't arrived yet.
The master of ceremonies, the pope, and the emperor were already waiting inside the church sanctuary.
Outside the church, hundreds of cannons stood proudly pointed to the sky, and each of the tall knights had a red rose pinned to his cold armor.
According to the wedding customs of Fchester-Guberland, Leon is required to personally escort his bride back from the Thorn Forest.
So, around midnight yesterday, Leon had already changed into an expensive suit and set off through the convenient teleportation channel.
He had already arrived in Moonlight City on horseback. Behind him, riding on either side of him, were the three heroes of the Empire: Seth and Hawkeye. Behind Seth and Hawkeye was a long wedding procession, pulling long wooden chests filled with all sorts of rare treasures. This was the dowry the Empire gave to the vampire saintess.
This is the second time I've entered the Thorn Forest, the second time I've come to Moonlight City, where the night is still endless.
The cold moonlight fell on the tall buildings and rocky walls, making them appear pitch black, as if the entire city was submerged in shadow.
Walking along the palace road leading to the royal city of Moonlight, the road had been cleared in advance, with no idlers, only vampire soldiers standing at attention on both sides. From the windows of the houses on both sides of the palace road, countless eyes peered out, scrutinizing the slowly advancing Fchester wedding procession.
"The wedding procession has arrived."
Inside the royal dressing room, Leticia looked through the window at the slowly moving firelight on the palace road leading to the royal city gate and exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Mother."
To be honest, Philippa suddenly felt very reluctant to part with her.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, child. Her Majesty the Queen said that you will be brought back soon."
Leticia comforted her.
"Ah."
Philippa nodded slightly.
"My Lady Saint."
The door opened, and the mature and elegant woman with long, straight black hair, Kasali, walked in. She was wearing a long dress, black leather boots, and a beautiful moonflower-shaped hairpin in her hair.
Evening primrose is the national flower of the vampires. It is a white flower that grows only in thorny forests and blooms under the moonlight. It is very beautiful.
"okay."
Philippa gave Leticia a final hug before following Kasalin to the main hall.
The vampire queen sat on the throne inside the hall, flanked by vampire servants who were to accompany Philippa.
Soon, Leon led Seth and Hawkeye into the main hall.
