He kindly wiped the tear from her face. His touch was just like Tulleesh's. Smooth amd gentle. Truly, now she knew that, in his intimacy, he was quite like his father. "Come now, this isn't the time for tears. Now is the time to be strong." He smiled, putting his hands on her shoulders. "Now, go. Your bethroved awaits you." As she turned around, she saw Tulleesh kissing his mother, both of them smiling. His mother had tears, despite her best efforts to hide them. Then, he turned around, a symbol painted on his horns and his forehead. Their arms were still hooked together, and they walked to the centre of the aisle, where an Archbishop of Celestia stood before them, smiling. He held a golden book, adorned with a bright sun and two moons. "Are we ready, my dearly beloved?" The kind old man asks, to the both of them. He looked to be human, but his eyes were a bright orange, and a warmth emanated from him. "Yes, Minister. It is time." Tulleesh replied. The minister nodded, and took a loud voice. [b]"Today, we are gathered here to bear witness to the Union, the Assimilation of Monica Prefect, daughter of Samantha Evans and Kaebius Prefect, into the family of His Royal Highness, Lord Tulleesh The Second, of the Throne of Tibernes. These two are to be wed, under Consent of the King and Queen."[/b] His parents stood to the pedestal, looked at the two, looked between each other, and nodded. The King spoke, in a high voice. [i]"The Crown consents!"[/i] The minister nodded, then looked to Tulleesh. [b]"Sire, do you lawfully abide and agree that this woman, Monica Prefect, partake in the royal blood and be forever canonized within the royal bloodline?"[/b] Without a hint of hesitation, with pride in his voice, he spoke. In this time, he sounded not like a prince, but like a King. "I do. I declare this woman to be absorbed in the bloodline. That she may rule by my side, and be the mother of the next generation of monarchs. May she be the truest Queen of Dornia!" He then looks to her. The minister does as well. [b]"And you, Monica Prefect, do you consent to become part of the royal blood, to partake in the bloodline, forever true?"[/b]
