Episode 226 – Two People’s Engagement Ceremony

Time passed by, and the day finally arrived.

The eldest son of the Meydern family, Alberto Salihar Meydern.

Baroness Esselton, Nina Gratias Esselton.

Today was the day these two became officially engaged.

For this day, the Maidern family gathered together, led by the head maid, Michel.

Based on the experience of the head maid, Michelle, preparations for the engagement ceremony proceeded smoothly.

So what is the most important thing in an engagement ceremony? If you ask, everyone will answer like this.

“Engagement ring.”

That’s right.

The most important part of the engagement ceremony was the time to put on the engagement ring.

By wearing an engagement ring, it was announced to many people that they owned each other.

What if a problem arises during the engagement that disqualifies the marriage?

Then, take off the engagement ring and return it to the person who prepared the engagement ring.

With that, the break-up of the engagement was established, and the relationship between the two returned to being south-south.

In other words, from the moment you become engaged, you are recognized as a soon-to-be married couple.

That is why the engagement ceremony is a sacred ceremony that should not be done carelessly and cannot be tampered with.

“Today is the day of the great master’s engagement ceremony, so please be on your best behavior.”

Michelle, the head maid, clearly warned the employees about things they should be careful about.

At Michelle’s words, everyone nodded and showed determination.

How much did you prepare for today?

The Maidern family never invited outsiders or held events to announce anything to the public.

In fact, this engagement ceremony was the first event where Dittorio invited an outsider since becoming the head of the Maidern family.

Therefore, all the servants of the Maidern family could not let go of tension.

An engagement ceremony lasts for about one to two hours at most, and even including the banquet, it lasts about three to four hours.

In other words, for about three to four hours, each person had to do their best to ensure that the engagement ceremony ended safely despite the tension.

“Everyone just has to do what they have been doing. Then, everyone, let’s get started.”

As soon as Michel spoke, all employees began to move to perform their assigned roles.

They had checked the movement route over the past few days and completely prepared the venue for today’s engagement ceremony.

And, the full-fledged engagement ceremony was about to begin as a carriage carrying guests from outside appeared.

◈

The first guest to visit the Maidern family was Dittorio’s old friend.

“Congratulations. Dittorio.”

“What are you celebrating? Thank you for coming. “Barito.”

The current leader of the Imperial Knights, Marquis Barito Enkerus Sebatia, was on leave and visited the Madern domain.

As the sword of the imperial family, he never left the capital unless it was something very important.

But there was a reason why he had to attend today.

Because Dittorio, the head of the Maidern family, was his friend.

The two people who met at the Royal Academy and became close friends boasted a truly close friendship.

In fact, wasn’t the Marquis of Sebatia the one who looked after Alberto when he entered the academy?

Since the head of the Imperial Knights and a marquis-level person were watching their backs, unless it was a very serious accident, they were able to put an end to everything in the line of the Marquis of Sebatia.

However, the Marquis of Sebatia was only the beginning.

Families that had a close relationship with the Maidern family came in large numbers to attend the engagement ceremony.

Because of that, the front of the Maidern family’s mansion was crowded with carriages from other families.

However, despite experiencing this for the first time, the Maidern family’s employees were carrying out their work without any hindrance.

This was because the head maid, Michelle, frequently provided training.

Thanks to this, the users were able to handle work without interruption and were able to skillfully cope with events with many guests.

◈

The engagement ceremony began in the huge main hall inside the Maidern family mansion.

Alberto and Nina were standing behind the table in the center of the hall, Dittorio and Elena were standing next to them, and the guests were surrounding the four people.

The emcee was Dittorio, the head of the Maidern family and Alberto’s father.

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who gathered here at this happy event today. “I would like to say thank you very much for taking the time to come despite everyone’s busy schedules, and let the engagement ceremony begin in earnest.”

Dittorio suppressed his trembling heart and began to look at society calmly.

“Through today’s engagement ceremony, I will first introduce the person who will become the new member of our Maidern family. “I am Nina Gratias, Baroness Esselton.”

As Dittorio introduced himself, Nina took a step in front of her.

Nina cautiously bowed her head and stepped back behind her.

“And, the star of today’s engagement ceremony is my eldest son, Alberto.”

Following the introduction, Alberto walked out, greeted the guests, and then stepped back.

“How did the two of us become connected, so we have time to announce that we will soon become one? From now on, we will take the time to put on a ring to symbolize our engagement.”

At Dittorio’s words, Alberto and Nina each picked up a ring with their right hands.

That way, when standing face to face, you could put a ring on the other person’s left hand.

“First, I want the groom-to-be to put a ring on the bride-to-be.”

Alberto put the ring he was holding in his right hand on Nina’s left ring finger as instructed by Dittorio.

“Now, I want the bride-to-be to put a ring on the groom-to-be.”

Nina carefully took Alberto’s left hand and placed her ring on his ring finger.

Then, the ring began to glow, and the size of the slightly loose ring decreased to fit the thickness of their fingers perfectly.

“Now, the engagement rings you two will never be taken off until your wedding day. It is the best artifact created from carefully selected materials by the best craftsmen. With this, I will announce to everyone gathered here that the two have promised to get married.”

―Clap clap clap clap.

At Dittorio’s words, everyone gathered there began to applaud the two people warmly.

Alberto and Nina, who were standing receiving applause from many people, repeatedly bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude to the people.

After a while.

After the engagement ceremony, a small banquet was prepared.

All the chefs of the Maidern family came out and began serving food prepared with the best ingredients, signaling the start of a full-fledged banquet.

“Congratulations. Alberto.”

“Thank you for coming. “Marquis Sebatia.”

The first person to come and greet Alberto was the Marquis of Sebatia.

It was natural because he was the person in charge of Alberto’s entrance exam, and Alberto was the son of a friend.

“I hope you live happily and don’t forget to send the wedding invitation.”

“Would it be possible? “I will make sure she is taken care of.”

When the Marquis of Sebatia withdrew, another nobleman came to visit him.

“Nice to meet you. “I am Viscount Istanya.”

“Ah, Viscount Istanya. “You are Lady Hanael’s father.”

“Her daughter knew it well. I heard you saved the upper part of our wind field? “I will compensate you handsomely at the wedding.”

“I didn’t ask for a reward, but if you give it to me, I will be grateful.”

Many people who had received help from Alberto came to say hello, including Viscount Istanya, Hanael’s father and the owner of the upper part of the Wind Field.

While the banquet was in progress, Alberto accepted their greetings one by one.

Meanwhile, he was expanding his network in one way or another by introducing Nina.

◈

The banquet was over and everyone went home.

Alberto and Nina were leaning against the railing on the terrace of the third floor of the mansion, taking in the cool night air.

“b*tch, no. Al.”

“Why Nina?”

“A lot of people came to congratulate us on our engagement ceremony.”

“Haha. “I went to another territory and saved people, and this is how I came back.”

Alberto responded to Nina’s words with a sheepish smile.

Nina was surprised to see the people who came to congratulate Alberto and her on their engagement today.

Not only families belonging to quite prestigious families, but also families that received help from Alberto came.

Of course, the Maidern family is not an ordinary count’s family, but a fairly famous family, but not so many people attended the engagement ceremony.

However, the number of people who attended today’s engagement ceremony was as many as 60.

Excluding the attendants, if you count purely by family, they came from at least 30 families.

These were people who could provide a lot of help to Alberto when he became the head of the family.

It may be a wedding, but it was a common thought among nobles to consider their relationship with that person special as long as they attended an engagement ceremony.

“So, let’s live well from now on.” Don’t make the people who came to congratulate you feel embarrassed.”

Alberto said and held Nina’s hand tightly.

His hands were very warm, unlike the cool night air.

“Is it so. Live well from now on.”

Feeling the warmth of her hand, Nina also spoke out her promise.

Under the cool night sky, the moonlight was shining softly as if blessing the path ahead of the two people.
