The sun had almost completely set, marking the start of the wedding. The Britannia royal wedding followed a certain sacred tradition that worshipped the nature god.

It all started with how Gaia became the protector of Britannia thousands of years ago. Due to everything She did for the land and its people, Gaia was worshipped all over Britannia. Back then, the mere thought of the name could fill people with peace and reverence.

But as time passed, the name Gaia was mentioned less and less until eventually, people stopped mentioning the name altogether. Even so, the traditions that had existed since those times were still passed down between kings, nobles, and even some citizens who could afford such weddings.

At this moment, Gweneth could be seen wearing a beautiful white dress, a leaf crown lightly resting on her head. She was riding a boat made of fresh roots, slowly sailing across the small river just next to Camelot Palace.

The citizens of Camelot and guests from all seven kingdoms were standing on the two river banks, watching the beautiful princess standing confidently until she reached the designated wedding venue. Despite the slow pace, none of them felt impatient, simply enjoying the atmosphere.

She then carefully walked toward one of the biggest trees, where one of the respected elders of Camelot was ready to start the wedding ceremony.

As Gwen reached the place, she could see that hundreds of people had gathered and were waiting for the wedding to start. A lot of them had their eyes on her, the bride, while some others were marveling at the preparations made for this wedding.

On the front lines, she could see that dozens of influential figures and nobles were also present to witness the wedding.

It was part of their sacred traditions to bring elders and important figures to be witnesses to weddings, and with the number of people witnessing, including the numerous elders and important figures, this wedding was probably going to be included as one of the biggest weddings to have been held in history.

This wedding was very important to both the bride and the groom. Yes, not only was this wedding important to her as it would please the Lioness nobles who had shown their constant support for the Logress, but it was also important to Arthur as it was not common for a person to be crowned as king without a queen on his side. Hence, the wedding would also serve such a purpose to the Logress kingdom.

Having more nobles to become witnesses for the wedding would prove the strength of the kingdom, as each noble would represent a certain land of the kingdom. This was the best way to maintain the support of these nobles and at the same time, the stability of the kingdom. This was especially the case at such a crucial time.

Unfortunately, although the guests were already present, Gwen realized that the ceremony was missing two very important people; the groom and the father of the groom.

Looking around, she saw that nobody was worried as they knew Arthur never disappointed. She also knew that, but for a reason, she did not know, Gwen was feeling extremely uneasy.

Her unease had started ever since Arthur decided to head to the Divine Order's headquarters. Unable to shake off her worry, she asked Yvain about the situation. Unwilling to leave her, Yvain instead told Abe to bring a few knights to check on Arthur.

Night finally fell, and the torch was lit up, signaling that it was time for the wedding ceremony to begin.

But both the groom and the father of the groom still could not be seen. Gwen's heart gradually raced faster. If she could have her way, she would have rushed toward the fort to check up on them without wasting another minute. But she knew how important her presence in this ceremony was. Holding herself back, she glued herself on the spot, silently standing with confidence in front of the present nobles and the citizens of the seven kingdoms.

Unbeknownst to her, on one side of the nobles, seeing that Arthur still had not shown up despite how much time had passed, a few nobles of the Iceni and Norgales looked toward each other with smiles on their faces.

One of the nobles from that side even whispered with malice, "It appears that the plan was successfully executed. When the news came out, I had already prepared as well. This will be the last stick that will break the camel's back."

The group of nobles was smiling wickedly. Some even laughed without bothering to hold it in seeing that the situation seemed to have gone as they planned. Even so, as they were in the corner in their own group, Gwen could not hear her from her position.

A few moments later, Gwen could tell that the guest had begun whispering in confusion, wondering why the ceremony had not yet started despite the time. Gradually, the whispers turned into rowdy talks. Noticing that the situation had gotten out of hand, Gwen decided that it was time for her to start speaking to calm the crowd.

But before she could say her words, she saw a figure walking toward her right in the middle of the aisle.

The man was none other than the king of Logress himself, Arthur Pendragon.

When he arrived, all the noises from the crowd immediately died down. At the same time, the faces of the nobles who were previously smiling and laughing in the corner paled at the sight of his arrival. Those nobles could not believe it, "Did the plan fail? That's impossible!"

Those nobles were nervous, but none of them dared to cause a ruckus.

All eyes were set on the golden king who was approaching the bride.

The two then looked toward each other. Just when Gwen was beginning to feel relieved, as her eyes met Arthur's gaze, she was startled to find something amiss.
