Eagle Flag of Epirus

Vol 8 Chapter 9: wedding

"The Eagle Flag of Epirus (

The months-long "Family Killer Rebellion" finally subsided, and the war-torn Agrinion finally ushered in a rare and precious peace.

Under the new prince’s heir Irina Dukas, the residents have resumed their old lives. The urban area destroyed by the war has been repaired, and the homeless have been properly resettled. Although they have not yet recovered from the wounds of the war, people's lives have finally recovered some hope.

Today, the whole city, both nobles and commoners, have put down their work and gathered in St. Cyril's Square. The crowded crowds come here to witness them under the blessing of the true God. The lord, Irina Dukas, had a wedding with Justinian who came from the south to save the people from the fire and water.

After the war, everything was left to waste, so at the insistence of the queen, everything was done as simple as possible for this wedding. But despite this, under Justinian’s instruction, the heavy-armored cavalry led by Focas and Saliuus wore gorgeous coats and feather caps across the street, throwing one to the crowds on both sides. Helenpea gold coins shining in the sun.

With the cheers of "His Royal Highness Justinian" and "His Royal Highness Irina", the atmosphere of this wedding was pushed to its climax.

"You didn't have to be so extravagant." Irina, who was wearing an ivory silk dress and a plain yellow dress, whispered to Justinian, who was holding her hand.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Justinian was calmer than he expected, "No matter what, you will be my upcoming wife. I don't want this to be a bad start." With his black eyes, he clenched the opponent's hand and slowly climbed up, and walked into the hall with Irina.

Due to a terrible murder in the Great Sanctuary of Agrinion, it was obviously not suitable for use as a wedding venue, so Justinian and Irina finally decided to hold the wedding ceremony here.

In the scripture hall, the patriarch who had already waited for the new couple smiled and stretched out his arms to extend his blessings. Naturally, this is also Justinian’s acquaintance. After the restoration of Agriñon, the patriarch who had surrendered to Romanus was ousted and thrown into prison. Now it is the lunatic monk who holds this position. Argius.

As the patriarch, Justinian breathed a sigh of relief because this guy was not disheveled this time, but the proportion of the square crown he wore on the other's head was exaggerated, and he didn't know how he kept it.

As the wedding progressed, the newlyweds finally entered the hall, and the other nobles who participated in the hall quieted down. Everyone had no objection to this wedding. After the battle of the Baylands and the fight with the kinslayer Romanus in Agrinon, no one questioned Justinian's origin.

"May your marriage and future relationships be as long as it is."

Although it sounds weird, Justinian and Irina reluctantly took what Sergius said as good wishes.

As the ceremony proceeded, serious music played at the wedding scene, and the participating nobles also sang softly along with the melody. The two looked at each other. Under the candlelight of the holy flame, the Greek girl lowered her head a little shyly, but she also added a bit of charm. Justinian was also slightly startled, it was the first time he saw Irina with such an expression. Maybe I have to do something next, slowly holding her hand, and the two of them walked to the altar together. The Patriarch Sergius, who had finished his prayer, calmly read out his congratulations to everyone in the venue.

"May your vows live on and depend on each other. Your Highness Irina, are you willing to swear to be loyal to your husband forever and serve him wholeheartedly?"

"I am willing." The girl leaned forward slightly to accept, the patriarch smeared the holy oil on the forehead, which is a way of blessing for women by the church.

"You can kiss your wife."

Sergius prompted after completing his task. Although Justinian is a veteran on the battlefield, he still doesn't know anything about marriage etiquette. Irina is better, but it was only her mother who had talked to her when she was there.

Under the gaze of everyone, Justinian was a little embarrassed. He looked at Irina, but saw that the girl beside him holding his hand was not as shy as before.

Those calm and watery eyes were looking at him, and Justinian no longer hesitated, and simply swore: "With this kiss, make an oath, with my love, Irina Dukas!", After the girl responded, he pulled her closer and kissed her deeply for a long time.

Along with the occurrence of this scene, outside the Scripture Hall, the residents of Agrignon who learned that the wedding was going smoothly cheered outside.
