Ashes and Kingdoms

The busyness around the eyes continued, and after many "pre-celebrations," finally came the day of the festivities.

Early in the morning, the two brides and grooms became intimate at the temple. Finn slept through his first outfit in a long time and was in a restless mood waiting for the bride's support to end. Though I don't wander around, I have no place to put myself and change my legs all the time.

I envied Mac, who seemed calm, but the tension seemed similar to him. I messed with the decorated flowers on my chest and scattered them, and when Valt started fixing them, I laughed embarrassingly and bitterly.

When Oandus rushed past the door in the next room, it took too long, we couldn't have a ceremony by the end of the day, etc., the bride finally showed up after a while.

――

The bridegroom and groom weren't the only ones who took a breath. Even Valt was silent without even blowing a chilling whistle.

Nellis, wrapped in a pure white dress, shined in a feminine, clear beauty that was unimaginable from day to day. And Lena, who was twisting beside Nellis, had her hair and clothes decorated with flowers. He knitted the flowers on the wax, so that they did not fall along his body, and made three thin braids in his wavy hair to insert the flowers. Exactly like the Spirit itself. But the way I look up at the fearful fin still leaves me with an obscenity like a jean dog.

Finn proceeded very naturally to take Lena's hand when he could flatter his mouth. I could see Mac moving on the side too, but he's barely in Finn's sight. I'm full of it just to be aware of Lena's presence once again, both inside and outside of me, and accept her exalted sense of well-being.

Encouraged by Oandus, Finn walks half unconsciously into the great hall with the altar. If someone hooked his leg here, he could have fallen decently all over his body. Fortunately, the twins of the prankster were also only now adult, and there were no gruesome steps, so the line arrived safely in the hall.

Packed citizens applaud simultaneously. When the two groups of brides and grooms walked down to the front of the priest, they hit and changed and the place quieted back to Singh.

Fentas reads out his name in a solemn voice.

"From this, the Dragon Horse Phineas-Elphalenia-Oandius and Tenryu Diaerphalena, as well as Maxentius, Deputy Secretary with Dragon Horse, and Nellis, Priest of the Temple of Nena, will perform two sets of weddings. Blessed are the gods of heaven."

The priest drips his head, and becomes it all together. After a brief silent prayer, Fentas turned around Oandus and urged him to advance.

Nervous and catchy, Oandus stands in front of his son and daughter and coughs his heart out. Only during one breath did he hit my children with a deep emotional obsession, then he raised his face and proclaimed.

"As head of the Oandius family, I, Oandius, President of the Nanais City Council, approve of this marriage!

Wow, applause. Subsequently, when Kveris declared that there was no legal problem with this marriage, after Fentas questioned the existence of an objection as a formality, he was granted silent approval to marry each of the two groups.

"Blessed be the Goddess of Naina."

He touched the body of each of the four with a branch of evergreen trees, as he said. It is an ancient desire to bless children and to ensure that the home continues to flourish without fail.

"Finally… it is customary to exchange symbols"

Coming that far, for the first time, Fentas clouded his words. Finn looks at Mac with confusion for a different accomplishment from the meeting.

Generally, here, the bride and the bridegroom each offer the other something that symbolizes their role in the family. Small models of trees and ceramics, of course, if they are rich, they use gems to make them worthwhile in themselves, but they are usually of the kind that will be decorated for a while and forgotten. Many women imitate spindles, men imitate currencies directly. Fentas promised to prepare it in advance here...

I wonder if he didn't make it, and at the same time Finn was anxious, Fentas called heavily on the names of the two brides.

"Lena, Nellis, forward.... Now think about it, it goes without saying that Lena is not caught by the tenryu, the luxury of people. And Nellis, too, would be in a special position of being a man, but a priest, and should not be forced to play a traditional role as a wife who protects the family. So here's one favor from me"

He slowly spoke so that his voice would reach and be understood by all, staring and smiling at the two brides in turn.

"I want each of you to help and support my husband in the way you can. Can you ask for it?

"... Yes!

After a brief silence, Lena and Nellis each answered with a clear blur. Fentas nods satisfactorily and a modest applause arises. Fentas then called on the bridegroom as well.

"Phineas, Maxentius, Previous"

Proceeding with a heart cumulation that says yes already, Finn and Mac squirm and wait for the rest.

And, unexpectedly, Fentas took off his fearful expression for the ritual and grabbed each of the two shoulders slightly and forcefully with his left and right hands. And when you make it for the two people you're eating, be honest, say something.

"Good luck!

…………

A flash of blank. Then, more and more bursts of laughter broke out.

Finn and Mac looked at each other and laughed bitterly, Nellis swelled, and Lena decently. In laughter, the ceremony was all over without delay.

After the ceremony, the venue moved to the city square. If it's an ordinary common man's ceremony, relatives and invitees will have a feast at the temple as it is, but in any case, this time on a different scale. Very everyone stays put.

Two pairs of newlywed whisperers walk to the square with flowers and blessings bathed like waterfalls. A treat is already arranged ahead of us when we arrive, and for some reason the twins of Ewarez and Eugenis say, "Dear Dragon Hou Banzai! I took the head of the toast, and then I slipped into the big banquet of drinking and eating.

If it is to be an aristocratic marriage in the national ceremony, even as the guests are eating and drinking, the bride and groom will have to continue to receive the gifts that continue to be extended, but fortunately this is Nanais, and even though Dragon Hou is a nobleman.

Other than some small items - a new cloth towel or a seashell neckline - all the flowers and treats that we all prepared and the words of blessing that spared it were gifts.

Wine and honey liquor were so massive that they seemed to be excessive even if they drank until they were all crushed. It's a celebration from Taz and Govarias. The men rejoice that they can drink without worrying about their share.

I thought the arm wrestling tournament would start at the edge of the table, and in the middle of the square, the drunks would be in a circle, kicking the ball and playing. As soon as someone sings it becomes a big chorus and improvised dancing is performed. For the first time since Nanais rebuilt, it was a bright festival at the bottom.

"All right, daughter-in-law, gather around! I'll let you take plenty of the best part of the meat for one!

Valt cheerfully calls for a young couple. Husband holds or bears his wife and races. Naturally, the two groups of newlyweds are compulsory participants.

"I'm sorry, Mac! It's crumbling!

"Dear Dragon Marquis, there's only one cheat!!

Finn and Mac hold up each bride with a bitter smile as the wild next flies. and

You're going to be a fighter.

When Valt said with a lot of laughter, he was pounding.

"Hey... wait, you want me to carry you!? unscrupulous!"

"Perhaps we'll be late to bring it here!! of."

Ignoring Finn, Valt buzzes and the participants run away. Finn roared, but was disappointed to throw out his luggage. He had his arm around his neck and couldn't handle it. He began to run off eating his teeth in a relentless burst of laughter. Bottom line, of course. Dragon Marquis is also shapeless.

Even though he was rubbed by such a foolish noise, sometimes Finn looked for his parents in the crowd. My child will be nestled at the same time, which is what I've been staring at since the middle of the ceremony, such as Oandus.

Even now, the two of them leaned in and watched Finn and Nellis as they accompanied the celebration offered by their guests.

That said, in fact, a new official residence was built, and Finn and Nellis would return to the same house as their parents, as before, if the feast were to open.

As previously discussed with Mac, the building was intact and not altered, only the room division was changed. When we split left and right in the hallway and picked it up in each room, we were ashamed of each other by the boulders and nobody tried to look at each other.

And.

"... what is this..."

Finn, who returned to his room with Lena, was weak and nearly nostalgic on the floor. Apparently, the children decorated him while he was vacating the house for the ceremony. Where did you get it, I have frigid props. I keep that and this.

I hadn't closed the door yet, so Nellis and Mac's screams arrived small. They surprised me there, too, but soon it turns into an out-of-tune laugh. I guess we're both too happy to be angry with the prank.

Finn gently closed the door and shook his head, for Christ's sake. When Lena picked up her compelling underwear, tilted her neck and noticed the view, he took it up in a complicated mood.

"It's an example twin prank. Totally."

"When we're human, do we need this?

It seems a little embarrassing, but Lena is even more serious. What if I told him I needed it, etc., Finn groaned in a strangely frightening mood.

"Necessary..."

Why should we seriously discuss this on a day like this? Those twins. Do something extra.

Finn explains it in a disciplined manner, with a dull headache.

"It's just that some people like it. I don't like it."

Instead, I'm disgusted by what I'm about to complain about to blatantly stimulate lust. I don't mean to be pure, and I don't feel anything. but

(You think too much about sleeping with a woman)

What Valt said before is probably right. I want to sigh, and I push the substitutes together in the corner of the room that are puffing the scent of flowers and beasts.

Lena stood in front of me when I decided to go throw him away first thing tomorrow morning and turned around. Lena leaned back fluttering and throwing her arms at Finn, who had been stunned.

"Finn."

At the same time that the name is called, a light of warm joy flows into my heart. The memory of the first time we met and were called names came back, and Finn smiled. Now, I'm not surprised. He returned his embrace and, with Lena's thoughts, sent back the happiness that was in him, open to consciousness.

Apply lips gently to silver and gold hair with soft light. Very naturally, from the depths of my heart, my love builds up. I spoke and my voice spilled.

"Lena."

Diaerfalena. In my heart, I call that real name. It seemed like the right thing to do. I could see Lena's consciousness trembling with joy in response.

They cheek at each other, seek lips, and overlap peacefully. Eventually it turned into a feverish mouthfeel.

We were sure we were looking for each other, but Finn was even confused on the other hand.

I hold my body tight, but I don't feel like I would normally feel it. The only thing in my arm is the yang. It seems like the heat of the whole place - no, I do have a material response there, but if it looks like it, it can't always convey the feminine softness or curvature that you would know over the clothes. I don't know what the hell to do.

"Lena."

Between palates, call for help.

- For a second.

Without any foretaste, Finn was swallowed by the feeling that his flesh could disappear. In an instant everything transformed, and soon to be surprised by that, he was flying in conjunction with Lena.

Understand that in a corner of consciousness, not in the sky of reality. The air supported the body like light water, and Finn and Lena were flying like swimming together through it.

I didn't have to think about what I wanted to do or what she wanted.

Keep the thought of recruiting, meet your wings, eat your opponent's neck lightly, and tangle your tail. The joy of each other was shared, amplified many times, and the wings that put together the light shook the atmosphere.

How long does the feeling of time disappear and we can't even feel the borders that separate us from each other. Only joy and enthusiasm continued to rise to a distant sky, wrapped around a vortex.
