Wedding of the Century
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The church bells ring early morning signifying the day of the wedding. Everyone in town is busy setting up everything according to plan. The Cathedral of Rimes is the venue of the wedding. The nuptials are preoccupied with preparing themselves. Princess Ariana looks stunning on her white wedding gown. The gown has flowers designs of crystals and silk. It is sleeveless and reveals her distinguishable collar bones. Her hairstyle and veil complements the dress having the same flowers of crystals and silk. The only thing missing on her stunningly exquisite look is a smile. She stares blankly on the clouds hoping that the person she truly loves comes to rescue her or crash the wedding.
Prince Julien, meanwhile, finishes. He wears a simple suit with a white tailcoat. A carnation serves as his boutonniere. Its petals reveal its freshness. He is a picture of royalty. A man who can win over the hearts of all the women in the kingdom with just a glance. After finishing, he visits Giann

A mission that can mean their death. A mission that can determine the future of the kingdom.They eventually stop as the night deepens. The starry skies are partly visible. Most of the night sky are clouds, not thunderstorm clouds nor rain clouds, but plain clouds that spell a depressing night.They all have medical principles and case studies as the topics of their conversations, until all the attention turns to Gianni’s love life. As he is the youngest physician in the group, his seniors are making sure that he has a life outside of work.

They ride closer to the fortress. When they reach a certain distance, soldiers emerge from the ramparts and points arrows at them.“Identify yourselves,” a soldier wearing a different set of armor from the rest of the knights shout from the top of the rampart. “This is a fortress of the kingdom of Gallia, directly serving the Crown.”“We are physicians from the royal Capital. We’re here to assist you,” Manfred shouts at the man. He grabs something from his pack, “we have a royal decree proving our business.”The soldier who asked the question opens the gates and exits the fortress. He reads the decree and stops the archers from shooting Gianni and Manfred. He welcomes them inside the fortress which is more of a walled dungeon. The ambiance that Gianni feels feeds off from his positive energy. The structure appears to keep them locked inside. Everything is in complete disarray, the training grounds are unmaint
Prince's Butler A Distant Voice
Three days and three nights march by without any movement from the two forces. The allied forces know, however, that any more time wasted will increase the peril that the enemy has on the Capital. They must act swiftly and decisively. They must reinforce the Capital and the cities, regions, and provinces surrounding it.It is at that day that General de la Falaise decides on a tactic to break the enemy blockade. As soon as the sun on the fourth day defies the horizon, all of the fortress gates open and the soldiers in them cascadingly pours out like a great torrential river. Gianni prepares as much medicine and bandages as he can to treat wounded soldiers. He marches along with the first unit, making an encampment a distance away from the fortress along with Franz, and other physicians.“We will divert the enemies’ attention,” the general speaks inside the war meeting on the night before the attack. “The first and second units shall engage the e

They could not give them the necessary treatment because of the lack of supplies and equipment. There are not enough tonics for sanitation and wound cleaning. Feet and hand injuries that needs the equipment from the infirmary end up in amputation. It is the only way to prevent further infection. Since they are in the middle of a cold meadow wasteland, it is their last resort.As the physicians are healing the soldiers, the general wastes no time, and marches back to the Capital godspeed.

“The enemy has abandoned this city, Your Highness,” a soldier reports. “They immediately left after knowing that your forces have begun marching. Surely, your presence in the battlefield would boost the men’s morale.”“Isn’t that strange?” Julien remarks placing his hand under his chin. “This city provides a strategic advantage for any campaign.”“They must have been terrified of your presence, Your Highness,” a well-dressed soldier approaches. “I’m Captain Ian J. Francois, leader of the forces occupying this city. The enemy left the city as soon as they heard of your march. They left all their supplies and weapons.”“Nevertheless, be on your guard, captain,” Julien whips the reins. “My mother always reminded me that danger can come from unexpected places.”The city of Erlain in the Basille domain is the largest city in the central riverlands.
Prince's Butler A Touch of Relief and Goodbye
A town called Isqu marks the border between Basille and Macreigh. Beyond the river lands of the Basille Domain, a meadow called Metouche Pas, as it is known to the locals, marks the entrance of Macreigh from the north. The narrow road that cuts into the verdant emerald grass snakes left and right. The prince strictly orders the soldiers to go through the road, not touching the vegetation. The army snakes around the wide meadow. The iron and steel armors of the soldiers contrast the sea of green. Gianni and Prince Julien who are at the rear of the van, sees the army move like a snake. The spears and poles, where the banners hang, appear as spikes of the great silver creature. The differences of the soldier’s heights also affected the overall appearance. “Why did you order the army to use the road, Your Highness?” Gianni asks. “If we cut through, the army would save time and travel faster.” “That’s because, this is Metouche Pas,” Julien replies shifting his gaz
Prince's Butler Menace from the East
Prince Julien orders the drums and horns of war be sounded. He gestures his right hand, and the entire army forms an array. Before them the Essenian army forms an array of their own. The blue banner of Essenia covers the entire horizon. Nothing could be heard from the barren plain where they face off, except for the silent howling of the wind. Although not so silent, that the deaf could hear it tremble. The banners flutter overhead the shining steel and iron. The sky gazes down the two forces as they meet face-to-face. “Must you do this, Your Highness?” Gianni runs towards the prince carrying a pack of bandage and herbs. “There must be another way to settle this. Our forces are much larger, and we can defeat them without putting yourself in too much danger.” Julien can see the worry in Gianni’s eyes. He places his gauntlet-covered left hand over Gianni’s head calming the subtle trembling of the latter. He takes a deep breath, tapping Gianni’s shoulder.

Prince's Butler Song of the Moonlight
Hidden at the base of the left magnolia tree is a wooden chest covered in dirt and dust. Julien blows on the surface, revealing a gold-plated iron chest. He snatches a key from his necklace and opens the compartment. A flute and a harp—utterly clean and new—were inside."These belonged to my grandfather and my grandmother," Julien retrieves them both from the small compartment. "The harp is one of the symbols of our family. My grandfather carved this himself from the trunk of a giant tree that grew at the heart of the Capital. With the instrument, he used to gallivant as a prince, singing songs love and fervor in his youth. Oftentimes he would get in trouble with the king and the royal staff.""He sounds like a free soul," Gianni walks toward him. He touches the smooth surface of the harp's arch. "This is well-carved.""My grandfather became the Bard Prince, later the Bard King. It was during his rule in Gallia that the arts and sciences flourished.

The coalition army continues its march southward after taking back Posseth in a day. Their successive victories—due to the queen's marvelous employment of tactics—kept morale sky high. The army knew the terrain well, which kept their fatigue to a minimum. The enemy's incompetence in the environment was the centerpiece of the queen's strategies. From flood sections of the city by blocking entire rivers to setting up multiple ambush parties in unexpected groves, the Essenians stationed in Posseth threw their weapons within a day."We should be at Grandiflora by morning tomorrow even if we stop here," Prince Julien traces the road from Posseth to Grandiflora on a map he held. His horse whinnies as he subtly tugs on the reins. "Another day and we'll reach Magnolia.""Two days and all this farce will be over," the queen grabs a fan—one of her servants was using to cool her—and violently blows it on her face. "Let's make sure we grab the enemy commander alive, so that we can sue for peace,
Prince's Butler All I Ask
"Are you sure this is the place? The prince's banner is not in sight," Gianni looks over the rows and columns of tents that fluttered, not the markings of Prince Julien. "Golden carnations—the queen.""Indeed," Leon remarks, "the queen has joined the battle. Now we are unstoppable.""Stay here, I must report to the queen." Gabriel says, riding off before Gianni can react and say a word."Report to the queen?" turbulent questions turn his mind to turmoil. "Since when has he served in the army?""He's a butler like you, correct?" Leon replies before giving a look of suspicion. He rides following Gabriel.Gianni dismounts, tying the horse to the branch of a thin birch tree that appears to have had its share of the war. The cuts and slashes of weapons on its bark and trunk are a memory of its part in the war. Gianni sits down on its base, leaning against the slash-glazed body.Meanwhile, Leon follows Gabriel to the queen's tent. The two bow down before her presence. She sat on a birch cha
Prince's Butler Think of Me
"Loose," an archer captain lets an arrow fly as dozens of other archers follow him. "Quivers, aim, loose."The high-walled city is built to keep invaders out, and it is solidly fulfilling its purpose. The irony is that it keeps its liberators out while the invaders are in. The moss-filled slippery cobblestone walls prevent infantry from scaling the city using ladders. Garrison tactics from the invaders on the ramparts are also making life difficult for the prince's forces.The arrows that they let loose bounce against the walls, with a little or none reaching the top—some are missing their targets entirely and a few finding their flesh marks. The fight has been disadvantageous to Prince Julien's forces so far—the forests around Calcister made for great ambush sites, which they well received, the narrow forest roads make it difficult for their large numbers to pass through quickly, delaying their entire plan, and the difficulty of taking back Calcister from the enemy.The Essenians the
