Over a hundred people followed the wedding carriage on majestic horses.
The orchestral music filled the air. Because it was close to the city lord‘s mansion, it drew nearly half of the residents of Starbloom City.
“Have you heard that? The bridegroom is Lord Hackworth and the bride is the Zimmermans’ eldest daughter.”
“Ms. Zimmerman has been single for over 30 years, right? She finally gets married.”
“My relative works at Zimmerman Mansion. He said Ms. Zimmerman doesn’t like Kingsford Hackworth and is forced to marry him.”
“His elder brother is now the Regent. She has no other choice.”
The wedding procession caught many passersby’s attention, sparking discussions and spreading news among the crowd. Some people, who were unaware of the details, even offered their blessings to the seemingly well-matched couple.
According to the Starbloom City marriage customs, the bride’s family would accompany the bride to the bridegroom’s home and stay there until after the wedding ceremony before returning to their home.
Raelynn, dressed in a white wedding gown with a veil over favonovel.com head, walked out of the room, accompanied by two maids.
Before favonovel.com could step off the steps, Zaid took favonovel.com hand and led favonovel.com to the grand carriage outside.
After Zaid brought Raelynn onto the bridal carriage, Rhett and the others boarded the carriages behind it.
Everyone in the Zimmermans was present, except for Alcott, who was sitting on top of the wall. He frowned while watching the wedding procession.
Seeing the wedding procession leave, favonovel.com furiously shouted, “Shameless bastards! You guys use power to bully us! You scoundrels!”
However, nobody heard his roar.
Alcott jumped off the wall, scratched his head in frustration in the yard, and rushed into his room. He soon reappeared clutching a black mask and raced out.
It was lively inside the Hackworth Mansion with a grand feast stretching from the courtyard to the main street outside the front gate.
Both sides of the street were already crowded with countless onlookers.
The Hackworths’ butler had announced that Kingsford would host guests for three days to celebrate his wedding.
Inside the mansion, there were important guests and close friends. Outside the mansion, everyone was welcome to join the feast.
Kingsford stood on the steps in a white bridegroom’s suit. He happily watched Raelynn, who was dressed in a white gown and a veil, being helped by Rhett as favonovel.com walked in.
After 30 years, his long-held wish had finally come true.
Kingsford noticed that Rhett and Zaid, along with the others, appeared downcast and not particularly happy.
Two maids stepped forward to support Raelynn as favonovel.com walked into the inner room.
Kingsford stepped forward and smiled at Rhett. “Father, we’ll be a family from now on. Please cheer up…”
Rhett forced a smile as favonovel.com watched his daughter, feeling a stabbing pain.
The butler soon loudly announced the beginning of the ceremony.
“Fabrice Sabiston, the general of Heavenly Eagle City, extends his congratulations and presents a pair of emerald doves as a gift!”
“Zaydon Yarbrough, the Starbloom City’s lord, extends his congratulations and presents a pair of golden couple statues!”
“Yoav Garcia from the Royal City presents 10,000 bolts of rainbow-colored silk!”
“Clyfford Hackworth, the Lord Regent, extends his congratulations with a grand gift of a luxurious mansion in the Royal City and 10,000 crystals!”
The butler’s words astonished all the guests in the courtyard. They immediately offered their congratulations.
The Regent truly lived up to his reputation by presenting a million taels of gold and a luxurious mansion in the Royal City.
Many people also began to gather around Rhett, joking, “You get an outstanding son-in-law, Lord Zimmerman. The rise of the Zimmermans is around the corner!”
He nodded with a smile, but favonovel.com felt extremely bitter.
The Zimmermans’ fate remained uncertain. All favonovel.com knew was that favonovel.com had ruined his daughter’s future.
Aside from Kingsford, the happiest ones were the younger members of the Zimmermans, including Rhett’s daughters-in-law and grandchildren. They believed the Zimmermans had truly risen to the top this time.
“It’s time for the couple to say their vows!” With a loud reminder, Kingsford turned and walked into the main hall, while the maids supported Raelynn, who had been resting in the room.
