Chapter 359: Wedding Ceremony 1
In the city to the east of the Sanctuary, extravagant carriages gathered one after the other.
From Yggurle Kingdom, the King, Queen, and Prime Minister Balza entered the city with their escorting knights. The country’s key figures had vacated their country, but the Elven nation has advisors who have a powerful right to speak known as the Elders, so it seemed to be fine.
Dante-san and Freesia-san planned to come directly to the Sanctuary. What could Darphy-san be doing……
Similarly, from Lomaria Kingdom, the King, Queen, and Prime Minister Drehd arrived in town with their escorting knights.
From Valkyra Kingdom, the King, Queen, Prime Minister Simon, Margrave Volton, and Earl Rockford brought their families and arrived in town.
I don’t know if Papeck-san and Barack-san were arriving at the eastern city. The royalty of each country had a great number of escorts and servants, so it was easy to tell they arrived.
However, this is where some trouble started.
Nobles and merchants whom I had not invited were beginning to gather in the east city. Included among them was Earl Hordia who was aiming for Sophia, and Yggurle Kingdom’s King and Prime Minister were even more tense than I was if any issue would occur.
The invitees from various countries and a few attendants took a break in the eastern city then moved to the accommodation located in the detached island I made in the Sanctuary.
In the harbor to the west of the Sanctuary, I received contact that Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san of Accuros arrived aboard the magic warship Oceanus. What was surprising was that Queen Fraal only brought Ryuka-san, and only the two of them visited.
Inside the accommodations, Elves and Mermaids were busy preparing to greet them.
The marriage ceremony included the people who had been living in the Sanctuary in its early days, Mappo, Poporo, and their daughters Miri and Lala .
Catkin siblings Wappa and Sara.
The Human sisters Colette and Shirona.
The Elven family who managed the Orchard, the Mother Melty-san and sisters Melanie and Malorie.
Fluna-san of the Mermaid tribe who was entrusted with the salt production and fisheries in the village to the west.
Of course, the Dwarves including Doganbo-san were also attending.
There would be much to be said later on, but Valzak-san, Valkan-san, and of course Berkut, arrived at the Sanctuary from the Sky Island, and stayed in our mansion in the Sanctuary in stead of the isolated island lodging.

Inside a room of a luxury inn in the newly built fortress city to the east of the Sanctuary, a fatty pig-like Elf, whose characteristically handsome appearance were nowhere to be found, screamed.
「Oi! What is the meaning of this!? Why was I, an Earl, was not invited!? Do something about it! 」
It was none other than Yggurle Kingdom’s noble, Earl Hordia.
Count Hordia used various methods on both sides to gain rights in the trade between the Trination and the Sanctuary, albeit in small quantities, but of course that was no reason for him to pass.
Earl Hordia had snuck into the dispatched trading parties at every opportunity with the intention of infiltrating the Sanctuary, but with no success.
Earl Hordia and his subordinates, Elves who had been forsaken by the Spirits, were obviously unable to pass through the Sanctuary though.
「Shit! Sophia was a woman that was supposed to be mine! A human is too unworthy! Even the King and Princess Mimir were in support!?」
「…………」
When Earl Hordia began spouting reckless remarks towards their own nation’s king and princess, the subordinate definitely remembered to keep their distance.
Earl Hordia who was able to do as he pleased in Yggurle Kingdom using the power of money and connections, had finally lost the protection of the elder whom he had blood ties to. With the purge now unstoppable, Prime Minister Balza was now taking the lead in gathering evidence of Earl Hordia’s injustices and criminal acts hitherto, however, that man was unaware that he had forgotten sincerity in his mother’s womb.
Earl Hordia was not the only person with ill intentions who gathered.
Greedy companies, thieves, and even the Dark Guild had headed for the city to the Sanctuary.
However, because the Trination’s royalty and nobles had come on this occasion, their units combined to maintain public order, apprehending a mass of thieves, the Dark Guild, and the merchants that hired them.
A portion of the mass of criminals were sent to Wedgefort and tossed into jail.
Whether he liked it or not, the wedding of Takumi, a simple commoner, had garnered the attention of many people.
