A banquet was being held in the hall of the Randall family.
"So, here's to the prosperity of the Randall family!"
Cheers!
Cheers!
Reinhard, the representative of the original Randall family, led the toast.
The Grand Emperor (Hilde) is the highest in rank, but since he is here on his own today, Reinhardt has been given the honor of being the toastmaster.
The wine glass in his hand is filled with a white wine, Olsen's 3450. It is his favorite brand.
Knowing this, Moritz brought it out from the cellar.
Moritz and Ingrid are in the starring roles.
Ingrid, who is feeling much better after eating Persica from Horai Island, joins them only for a short time.
Henrietta is being looked after by Melia Caretto.
Ingrid is drinking Persica juice. Jin brought it out from the refrigerator in , and it has a more nourishing effect than eating Persica directly.
The hall was filled with a feast of delicacies.
The hall was filled with delicacies from the mountains and the sea, including fish from Lake Tosmo, tempura prawns, roasted whole kokarisk (chickens), cowbull (beef) steaks, and grilled glass boa (pork) with jangyi (ginger).
There is also a selection of vintage red and white wines.
In addition, there was a pile of Perushka, Citran, and Apurul from Horai Island that Elsa had brought to the table.
Erza had brought a little too much, so they decided to eat it before it got damaged.
Of course, Ingrid and Moritz have enough to eat and will send more later.
......I brought too much at once. I'm sorry."
In Randall's house without an ether stocker, it is difficult to keep the food for more than 3 days. Persica (peaches) are especially susceptible to damage.
They can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days at most. After all, I brought ripe ones.
"These après-pleurs are delicious!
The citrons are delicious, too."
Fritz and Gloria are smacking their lips.
Moritz smiles at them.
"Oh, come on, you have to eat more than just fruit..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, brother, but you know, <>," says Fritz. But you know, <>, the food is good, but we can hardly eat fresh fruits. I'm sick and tired of all the dried and bottled fruits."
Gloria nodded.
"Yes, that's right. This Citran is delicious."
Fritz used the informal language of home and Gloria the language of the outsider.
"Uh, oh, that, Ramon. ......"
Elsa had brought Ramon with Citran with the idea of making a juice with honey, and was surprised to see Gloria biting into it.
"Is this called Ramon?"
Gloria didn't seem to know this, since it is not a common fruit in the Kingdom of Klein.
"I think it's pretty sour. ......"
"But the sourness is so delicious."
Hearing this, Elsa suddenly had an idea.
"Gloria, if you have recently started to eat sour food ......".
But Fritz laughed it off.
"Hmm? Gloria has always liked sour food."
"...... so."
I thought she might be in the early stages of pregnancy, but I was wrong.
Still curious, I secretly went to the doctor's office for a checkup, but to my disappointment, I found that she was not pregnant.
Chloe and Mio also expressed their congratulations in their own words.
(Hey, your tone of voice is back...)
Jin and Erza nodded their heads.
* * * *
After the toast,
"...... we would like to hold the wedding ceremony here."
Emperor Hilde suddenly announced.
"Your Majesty?
Moritz and Ingrid are puzzled, but the others look cool.
In fact, before the banquet, there had been a secret meeting with all the guests except for the guests themselves.
In any case, it was very meaningful to hold the wedding ceremony here.
His Majesty the Emperor attended the ceremony, even if it was a private one. We couldn't have asked for a better lineup.
"Well, then, I'd like to say that Ingrid is the adopted daughter of the Nido family.
First Jin declared.
"Yes! Are you sure? Jin-sama, Erza-sama..."
"Of course. This is what we wanted.
Mr. and Mrs. Fritz would have been fine, but it was decided that the Nido family would play the role of the parents, since the Randall family would not be able to play the role of the parents.
This must have been based on Elsa's earnest wish.
Knowing the circumstances of her own mother, Meine, Elsa may have compared her niece to herself.
By the way, Jin is 27 years old this year, Erza is 23, and Ingrid is 22, barely older than him and his wife.
Although it is quite unreasonable to call the 22-year-old Ingrid a daughter, she is a formally adopted daughter, so there is no problem.
The Grand Emperor (Hilde) assured us of this.
So, this is the wedding of Moritz Randall von Amber and Ingrid Nidor.
Jin and Elsa acted as Ingrid's parents, and Georg and Marlene acted as Moritz's parents (or rather, his real parents).
The witness representative is, of course, the Grand Emperor (Hilde).
The witnesses are, of course, the Grand Emperor (Hilde), his brother Fritz and his wife Gloria.
The representative of the original Randall family, Reinhard Randall von Adamas.
Baroness Flora Heckerath von Merante.
There was no shortage of witnesses.
* * * *
Do you, Moritz, take Ingrid Nidor to be your wife and to live with her?
Yes, I do.
Do you, Ingrid, take Moritz Randl to be your husband and to support him?
Yes, I do.
Then kiss me.
Moritz and Ingrid exchange vows and a kiss in the presence of the Grand Emperor Hilde.
They are now, albeit briefly, husband and wife.
"When we get back to the palace, I'll make sure the recorder keeps a record of everything.
"Yes, yes, thank you."
Ingrid, who was still in poor health, would later join the feast in an easy chair.
Moritz stands next to his new wife, taking care of her.
