Chapter 1044 - The Wedding Day (2) (1/2)

Rose's heart ached when she saw Leon smile so widely at the sight of his bride. He walked toward Princess Anne and kissed her hand. They both turned around for the cameras and smiled at the journalists and the people who were flocking the gate.

Leon seemed to whisper something to Princess Anne and her face looked beaming. Maybe he was whispering 'I love you'? Rose was wondering.

Gosh, Rose, stop it! She scolded herself. Leon was in the past. She couldn't possibly let herself stuck in the past now that the man had chosen to move on from her.

It was over.

Besides.. she had Rune now. The man was so good to her. Right now, Rose only needed to heal her broken heart and make it whole again, before she could accept a new love.

But deep inside she knew, if she would ever love again... it would probably be him.

Rune was the most pleasant and easy-going person she had ever met. Being around him always made her feel relaxed and happy.

If she didn't know personally that he came from a super-wealthy family, Rose might never suspect the man had a lot of money. He was so humble and down to earth.

Her mind went to the man. Rune was already inside the church and soon she could see him.

”Let's go in,” her mother whispered.

The king and queen had walked gracefully toward the church's magnificent entrance and so they had to follow behind them. King and Queen of Moravia walked together with Leon and Anne behind them, followed by Duke and Duchess Fournier with Rose.

King Henry Camille and his wife went to the front row seat on the left pew, while Anne's parents went to the front row seat on the right pew, which was assigned for the bride's family.

Duke and Duchess Fournier sat next to the monarchs, while Rose immediately snuck into the second row where Rune, JM, and Terry were sitting. Since they were part of the ”groom's family and friends” they were given such prestigious seats.

Terry was super happy because he could witness the royal wedding from the best position. He was grateful that Rune was involved with a girl from such a level, so they could get the benefit.

When the bride and groom walked together, holding hands, down the aisle, the music played and the atmosphere in the church became very solemn.

This was it.

The wedding ceremony finally began.

Everything felt blurry for Rose. She didn't remember much of it as her mind was wandering and it felt like he brain wanted to block the memory from being recorded.

All through the beautiful ceremony, and when the bride and groom uttered their wedding vows, Rune held her hand and squeezed it softly, as if letting her know that she was not alone.

He also couldn't care less about the important ceremony, unlike Terry who took a lot of notes for his movie. Rune just wanted the event to end as soon as possible.

Two hours later, on top of the golden carriage, the new husband and wife, the future monarchs of Medion and Moravia were seen waving at the thousands of people crowding the streets on the way to the royal palace.

The people cheered and threw flower petals at the couple to show their love and support. Leon was very popular among the public because they considered him the people's prince.

The court publicist did a great job of elevating his image for being a commoner for almost his whole life, just like most of them. That's why the people felt a connection with the future king.

His activities and hard work to bring in many new businesses and opened more opportunities for Medion made him even more popular and liked. This wedding was the culmination of all his achievements.

Once he officially married the princess from Moravia, the people could see the realization of the plan to merge the two countries.  Medion would no longer be such a small country.

This alone was enough to make everyone in the country feel so excited.

”Let's go home,” Duchess Fournier said to Rose after the carriage left.

Their cars had arrived to bring them back to the mansion. They would rest for a few hours before going to the royal palace to attend the royal reception.

All the government officials, ambassadors, representatives from neighboring countries, and family and friends of both extended families would attend the extravagant event.

”Are you okay?” Rune asked Rose when he opened the door for her.

Rose shrugged and smiled. ”Why wouldn't I be okay?”

”Because you are a human with feelings?” Rune asked back. He said those words with a playful tone and Rose only smiled when she heard him.

She sat in the back seat and once he entered to sit beside her, she held his hand and patted it with her other hand. Then, she said, ”Thank you for being here. I really appreciate it.”

”It's my p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, Rose,” Rune smiled broadly.

”Just one more day, and then we can go home,” Rose said. She was referring to their loft apartment in New York.

Her words made Rune feel very happy. It meant that, to Rose, her home was no longer Bacilia, but... New York.... with him?

”We are close to my family home, by the way. I can take you to Germany to get a change of scenery,” he said. ”What do you think? I promise it will be nice.”

Before Rose could answer, Terry and JM entered the car and sat across from them. The conversation between Rose and Rune paused.  They didn't want the guests to hear what they were talking about.

”It's such a beautiful wedding...” Terry gushed. ”The couple look so perfect for each other. They seem so in love!”

Gosh..! Rose was trying to block everything that was happening in that church from her mind, but here, Terry and his big mouth was excitedly discussing it.

From the author:

Hahaha.. I can imagine Rune's frustration. Terry and his big mouth... tsk.

By the way, this book is getting slower in publishing because I am super busy with work the past two weeks. I'm very sorry, it seems my plan to end this volume in April, is not gonna work.

So, therefore, I will change the price of Privilege again starting May 1 and make it only 1 coin for all 7 chapters. I will also give a 99% discount to unlock the privilege chapters.

That means, you almost won't need to spend coins on this book while I publish the remaining chapters to end it. Probably, around 20 more chapters max.

Also, since many people seem to want the book to continue after Rune and Rose's story ends, I will keep the book open (and not mark it completed) since I might add a new volume in the FUTURE, after I have more free time. The next volume will be about Aldebar.

I hope, by that time, I would have been popular enough to draw a new audience to read this book, so they could enjoy the stories about The Schneider - Medici - Linden families, together with you.
