"The Kingdom of Egelea doesn't have the authority of the church either, does it?"
"It's the same everywhere. The church lost its authority during the Magic War.
Erza replies to Jin's mutterings.

Whether one believed in God or not, no, the priests and those in the priesthood had more magical power and were more vulnerable to the <
This led to the spread of the perception that God did not protect the believers and the downfall of the authority of the Church.

The wedding was to be held in the great hall of the duke's residence.
In the Kingdom of Egelea, the wedding ceremony was witnessed by a high ranking nobleman who gave a report of the couple's marriage.
In the case of royalty, the report is made by the predecessor if the predecessor is still alive, or by a portrait if the predecessor is no longer alive.

The basic concept is the same as that of the Shoro Kingdom.
In the case of the Counts of Kuzma, it is the Duke of Bruu who is the lord of the house.
The bride and groom are about to enter.

The voices of the people who had been murmuring until then stopped.
The front doors of the hall opened and the couple entered.
Count Kuzma was dressed in white and gold, and Bina in a pure white dress.

The two walk arm in arm through the crowd and stand in front of the Duke of Breu, who is waiting at the far end of the hall.
"Luis Wurtz Kuzma, Count of Egelea, I now pronounce Beena Lonsdale to be my wife.
"Beena, daughter of Bernard Hams Lonsdale, Earl of Egelea, I take you to be my wife, Master Lewis."

It seems that Beena, a commoner, was once adopted by the Earl of Lonsdale in order to marry Count Kuzma.
Jin commented that this was similar to the samurai families of the Edo period. Of course, this is something he learned from the historical dramas that the Director likes to watch.
"Good luck to Louis Wurz Kuzma, and to Beena Lonsdale, Beena Kuzma.

Once the Duke of Broux had solemnly approved their marriage, the ceremony itself was over.
The silent room was filled with applause.
The couple turned around and headed back to the exit amidst applause and cheers.

"It's a very simple ceremony, isn't it?"
Jin muttered to himself as he applauded, and Erza explained to him.
"The ceremony itself tends to be simple everywhere. The lively part is the reception afterwards.

"Ah ...... I see."
When I think back, the wedding ceremony of Reinhardt and his family was not so long.
In the case of the nobles, the reception that awaited them afterwards could be said to be the real event.

While the people who attended the wedding were waiting in the hall, the stewards and attendants of the Duke of Breu were preparing for the reception with all their might.
Tables with food and wine were brought in, flowers were decorated, and chairs were laid out.
It was a sight to behold as such work was done without any sense of haste and solemnity.

About 20 minutes after the ceremony.
The bride and groom appeared just as the wedding party was getting ready.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience. Here comes the bride and groom. Please welcome them with applause!

The facilitator was apparently the head butler of the duke's family. He is a tall, nice middle-aged man. He had a clear baritone voice, and some of the attendants looked at him enthusiastically.
While the 51 participants were applauding heartily, the two entered once again, dressed in gorgeous costumes.
"Oh ......"

"Beautiful ......."
Such murmurs came from all over the venue.
Count Kuzma was dressed in a black top and bottom with a tailcoat-like design, while Bina was in a bright red dress.

Once again, they walked to the far end where the Duke of Breu was waiting for them and sat down on a raised seat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me begin by introducing you to the bride and groom: ......"
Jin thought inwardly, "What kind of public execution is this? What kind of public execution is this?

When he was on the earth, he had been forced to attend a wedding of his senior in his office, and he remembered that his bad friends from school had held a black history contest and the bride's side had been pulled down by the crowd.
As expected, the two on the stage were red in the face.
After such an embarrassing time, it was time for the attendants to give words to the couple. At this time, gifts are often presented together.

Most of the gifts are arranged along one wall of the hall, and it is a simple matter of removing the cloth covering them.
The first one, of course, is the witness, the Duke of Breu.
"Congratulations, Count Kuzma and Bina. I hope that from now on you will work together to serve your country and build a good family.

"Thank you, Count Kuzma."
The gift from the Duke is a crystal ornament in the shape of two eagles. Eagles can only mate with a certain partner during their lifetime, so they are said to have a meaning of conjugal harmony.
The second is a knight, a royal representative. His name is Bruno Thales Bright. He was the vice-captain of the Kingsguard, as Jin recalled.

The reason why the second knight is a royal representative is that the Duke of Breu is a cousin of the present King Egelea, which means that he is related to the royal family.
The gift was a bust of a mature man. According to the story, he was the late Count Kuzma's father. The Count was thrilled to receive it.
The third was Beena's father-in-law, the Earl and Countess Bernard Hams Lonsdale.

"Congratulations, Lewis. Congratulations, Beena. I hope you can always count on me in the future if you ever need anything.
"Thank you very much."
The Earl of Lonsdale was a good friend of Count Kuzma's father, and he and the Countess had agreed to act as the couple's parents this time.

Their gifts were a ceremonial sword for Count Kuzma and a beautifully decorated sword for Bina. For Bina, a beautifully decorated dagger.
When Erza saw Bina receive the dagger, she remembered the time when Jin gave it to her.
She thinks back with a hint of regret that she did not know anything about the world at that time.

"Elsa?"
Elsa's hand was resting lightly on Jin's left elbow as she was escorting him, but then she felt a force on her hand.
"Oh ...... sorry, please, I just remembered something from the past ......"

"......Ah."
Somehow, Jin looked at the two guests of honor on the stage again without saying anything more.
The Countess of Galana, who is also a count residing in the Blue Lands, attended the event as a representative of the family.

The head of the family said that he was still recovering from his injuries sustained at the golem party, but to what extent was this true? Some people who knew the situation - Jin was one of them - guessed that he really did not want to show his face at a party where Bina, whom he once tried to attack, was going to become a bride. ---Jin was one of them.
The next dozen or so were aristocrats who were acquainted with each other, followed by several large merchants. All of these merchants seemed to be those who had profited from Beena's magic tools.
"Mr. Reinhard Randall von Adamus, Magi Engineer of the Shoro Kingdom and friend of the two of you.

A gift from Reinhardt is unveiled.
"Oh?"
I thought it was something like a square board ......, but it turned out to be a catalog. There was a picture of a carriage on it.

It is a small carriage for four people. It is said to be light and comfortable to ride.
Reinhardt, who had time to spare, gave the carriage as a gift.
"Magecraft Meister, Sir Gin Nidor. His sister, Miss Elsa."

（Such a young man is a Magecraft Meister?)
（I heard that he has been certified as a Magecraft Meister by the Kingdom of Klein and the Shoro Empire.)
Jin and Erza put all these noises aside and headed for the platform in the back of the room.

"Count and Countess, congratulations!
Jin wondered if he was being ungrateful in saying this, and then he said the words of congratulations.
"Thank you, Sir Jin Nido.

"I send you my warmest congratulations."
With these words, he pointed his hand and a piece of cloth was taken from his hand. It was Reiko who took it.
"Oh!"

The people in the pew were all saying the same thing, but with the same surprise.
There was a golem. But it was not just a golem.
In terms of design, it was similar to the golem maids working on Horai Island.

In addition, there was a silver tray in his hand, and on the tray were a pair of tumblers and a pair of wineglasses, red and blue, respectively.
The golem is me, Jin. The tumbler and wine glass are from my sister, Elsa.
The red one is made of ruby and the blue one of sapphire. The faceted and beautiful design is Elsa's.

The movements of the man walking slowly are smooth and human, without a trace of awkwardness.
"Ummm...... as expected of the magical engineer 《Magicraft Meister》 and his sister......."
Whispers akin to sighs escaped from everywhere.

With Jin as the last, the reception turns into a banquet. The time was just noon.
"Well then, ladies and gentlemen, here we are, to celebrate the bride and groom and toast! And enjoy the party to the fullest!
