Chapter 68 You are mine
The light blue long skirt walked off the ground, and the long golden hair that reached the waist rippled softly with the owner's graceful steps, and it was still the unparalleled face. But today's Serena is very different from the past in Chu Tian's eyes.
Chu Tian walked forward, gently grabbed his fiancée's right hand, and smiled and said, "You're a little late. Haha, I thought you wouldn't come."
"Why wouldn't I come? Fradino, you're so good at joking." Serena chuckled softly. At this time, Serena was exactly the performance that a noble girl who was about to marry should have. Her decent conversation, beautiful and elegant appearance, and a slightly shy expression could not be seen at all that today's ceremony was the product of a political marriage.
The two joined hands and walked towards the host at the northernmost end of the hall while talking. The guests around them also consciously made a way. Reggie, the best man, followed the two of them honestly with Fena.
When he was about to arrive in front of the host, Chu Tian suddenly turned his head slightly and asked in a voice that could only be heard by Serena: "If there were no His Majesty's order, would you come today?"
The hand that Chu Tian held trembled slightly, but Serena still smiled and whispered: "Fladino, why can't I..."
"I want to hear the truth!" Chu Tian's tone was a little cold, and the strength in his hands increased a lot, but there was still a happy expression on his face. In the eyes of the guests around, the unmarried couple seemed to be whispering.
Serena hesitated for a long time, and finally gave the answer when she finished her journey. She shook her head a little invisibly and said, "I don't know either..."
"Haha, Brother Vladino, congratulations!" The host Damar looked at the new couple in front of him with a smile. According to convention, today's host will be Chu Tian's elders, but Chu Tian's elder in the Phantom Beast Continent is only Anthony, but he is not in the imperial capital yet. So only those who are qualified to serve as hosts are Damar and Canas, so in the end, Chu Tian chose the older Damar to make up the numbers.
"Praise the goddess of life, I wonder when will I congratulate you brother?" Chu Tian looked at Damar, the old bachelor, with a smile. All brothers have started a family. Why did your romantic relationship have not yet ended? "Haha, I will propose to you for you for a while, how about it?"
"This..." Damar's old face suddenly became even redder than the wedding robe on his body. He waved his hands and said hurriedly: "No, no, don't go!"
"Haha, OK, Vladino, don't make things difficult for Damar." At the critical moment, Ludi III cleared the siege for Damar. He patted Damar and said, "Hurry up and hold the ceremony!"
"Oh, OK!" Damar woke up from shyness by Ludi III, sorted out his clothes, straightened his face, and shouted with a loud voice: "The ceremony begins!!!"
The entire hall quieted down with Damaer's voice, and everyone was watching Chu Tian and Serena, while Chu Tian listened to Damaer's nagging congratulations and blessings with a smile. The tedious words were bombarded for half an hour under Damaer's melodious voice. Until Chu Tian's face had already had a stiff smile, Damaer finally finished nagging, "Please exchange engagement tokens!"
"Fradino, this necklace was left to me by my mother, and I'm giving it to you now." Serena smiled sweetly, took off a necklace covered with various crystals from her neck, and then sent it to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian happily accepted it, hung the necklace around his neck, and took out a small sky-blue staff from the space ring and handed it to Serena.
"The guardian of the sea god!" The guests who were aware of the goods had already exclaimed the name of the staff. Fena's eyes when she looked at Chu Tian immediately softened a lot, and Serena's quiet face was moved for the first time, "Fradino, this... this is too expensive."
"Praise the goddess of life. No matter how precious the gift is, it is not as good as my feelings for you." Chu Tian nodded and smiled, gently stuffing his staff into Serena's hand. "This is an engagement token, you can't refuse it."
Serena looked at Chu Tian gratefully, took the staff silently, and then held it tightly in her hand. For Serena, she never expected that Chu Tian would use the protection of the Sea God, this priceless treasure as an engagement token! As a level seven-level water magician, Serena grew up listening to the legendary story of this staff. According to legend, this staff is the weapon of the Sea God in ancient times, and the water magic contained in it is enough to turn an idiot into a high-level mage! For ten thousand years, all the masters guarded by each generation of Sea God are powerful men, and his last master is Merlin, the protector of the country of Elson, the magic kingdom.
Looking at Serena's touched look, Chu Tian smiled secretly in his heart. Finally something can touch you, although that thing is a waste to him!
Meilin regarded Chu Tian as his child, so naturally he could not treat him badly. So before Chu Tian left Mount Agula, he mentioned that all the things Anthony had given him had been consumed, Meilin filled Chu Tian's ring with him and gave him a guardian of the sea god.
The Sea God's guardian followed Meilin for decades and made great contributions to Meilin's promotion to the magic god. However, now it is not very useful to Meilin's vast magic power, so it is naturally cheaper to Chu Tian. But unfortunately, Chu Tian was a magic idiot before, and in the future he was also a fake dragon grammar master with magic power, so this priceless treasure of the water-based mage has become a waste to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian also tried his best to deal with this waste and used it for his subordinates. As a result, no one was suitable. He gave it to others. He couldn't bear to sell it. It seemed that no one could afford it! Finally, before getting engaged, Chu Tian remembered that Serena was also a water magician! So the protection of the sea god was used as a token!
"I announce..." Damar was also scared by Chu Tian's big move at first, but fortunately, he still remembered the duties of his host, "Marquis Fradino and Princess Serena's engagement was officially established!"
The tide of applause sounded. After the applause subsided, Ludi III walked to Chu Tian, signaling Chu Tian to half kneel, then pulled out his sword and placed it flat on Chu Tian's right shoulder, "Fradino, you have made great contributions to the empire. Therefore, I, the Emperor of Caesar, Ludi III granted you the Duke of the Empire!"
Chu Tian accepted his new identity with a smile, then stood up and said seriously: "Praise the Goddess of Life! I swear in the name of the goddess: I will be loyal to Your Majesty in this life and to the Empire!"
Although the reputation of the goddess is not as good as the price of pig beasts on the Goddess market for Chu Tian, everyone present did not believe that Chu Tian was talking nonsense. Will the pride of the mainland sacrificial joking about the goddess of life? Dear empires, the great figures in the empire, even dare not have such ideas!
The engagement ceremony ended in a lively atmosphere. According to the noble etiquette of the mainland, Serena was going to return to her princess's residence with Ludi III, and then wait for the next ceremony. However, Chu Tian was ingenious and temporarily left Serena, and Ludi III also generously indulged Chu Tian's behavior.
"Fradino, what else do you have?" After everyone left, Serena and Chu Tian were only left in the empty hall, and Serena was very confused and asked Chu Tian, "According to the ritual procedure, can't you leave me behind?"
Hehe, Chu Tian smiled lewdly. Although he wanted to say: I want to do something with you that I can only do after getting married. However, Chu Tian stopped his shameless, but reasonable idea. Because he knew that Serena, who was still very resistant to political marriage, was not entirely his own!
It was a standard charlatan expression again, but this time it added a hint of despicable smell to it. Chu Tian took off the necklace on his neck and gently hung it on Serena, "I'll give it back to you first..." After that, Chu Tian waved his white robe on his body and turned around and left elegantly.
"Fradino, you..."
