Alaric saw the bishop, Amari Anton, smiling at him at the altar.
He smiled back in response and controlled his breathing to calm his nerves. He couldn't afford to embarrass himself in front of this crowd.
As soon as he stepped onto the altar, Amari gave him a gentle nod.
"Relax. Just act naturally." The bishop reminded him when he noticed Alaric's nervous eyes.
With the bishop's keen senses, Alaric wasn't surprised that he had been discovered.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
At this moment, the drumbeats abruptly stopped and the music became more intimate.
Following this sudden change, the bride's entourage entered the venue.
It was the members of House Paxley. The ones walking in front were Hershey with her father, Baron Nathan, acting as her escort.
Hershey wore a bright red dress with golden crow patterns emblazoned with rare gemstones and expensive jewelry. On her head was a jade hairpin that primly hugged her hair into a neat style.
