"Right away, your majesty!" the guard said, then walked off through the back corridor.

Several moments passed while no one said anything.
"This is somewhat awkward," Raej thought to himself as he noticed.
"So," Shin said, breaking the silence. "Tell me more about the situation at Oroeth. You mentioned some resistance before?"
"Ah yes," Raej replied. "A group of unusually strong fighters were in town. Two of them, a male and female, were fighting General Lilesh to a draw, even with his first gate opened. However, once I Raej arrived on the battlefield, they were quickly defeated and fled. General Lilesh decided to pursue them however."

After Raej spoke, Majra walked slowly into the throne room through the corridor in the back. "So you two are ready...?"
Noel looked over to Raej, then back to Majra. "...we are."

Raej looked at Noel, then at Majra and gulped nervously.
"Ah Majra, you came quicker than I was expecting," Shin said. "Let's get this ceremony started then."

"You two." Majra said, pointing to Noel and Raej. "Follow me to the chapel."
Moments later, when they arrived in the chapel, the doors behind them closed seemingly by themselves. Noel looked around at the dimly lit room. Majra was at a small podium. She saw Shin standing near the back. She then looked over to her right, seeing Dreva and Yuriis kneeling to her. "...it's a tad early for you two to be up."
"They are your closest subjects in Nocturnia, are they not?" Majra said, laying a book down on the podium. "They must be here to witness your union."

Raej looked around the room and noticed Elsa off by herself. She saw Raej looking at her and saluted. Raej saluted her back then focused on Majra.
"You may begin, Majra," Shin said from the back.

"Ahehem," Majra coughed, turning attention to Noel and Raej. "As it were with Elina Anstrum who founded Nocturnia and started this tradition, with Maya Anstrum who continued with her legacy, and with Shin Anstrum from the previous generation, You, Noel Anstrum, shall continue the tradition as well. While you may choose to follow relations with others on your own later on in life, this union was realized in order to ensure that the glory of the Anstrum bloodline shall continue rule over this land. Lord Shin Anstrum has used his wisdom to coordianate this union, as to allow the procreation of our future lord after Noel's time as overlord." He then looked to Noel. "Do you, Prince Noel Anstrum of Nocturnia, have anything to say?"
Noel looked at Raej, then back to Majra. "I am very pleased with my father, Lord Anstrum's decision, in choosing General Larentine. I couldn't have chosen a better man to father my children."
"General Raej Paricious Larentine, you have been selected to unite with Prince Noel Anstrum. As you are to protect the prince now and after she becomes overlord herself, your future relations with her will herald a new generation to rule all of Nocturnia. Your descendants' familial status will rise far beyond that of your own, merging with the most important family line in Nocturnian history. Do you have anything to say before this union is officialized?"

Raej thought for a moment about what to say. "It is a great honor to be chosen. I, Raej shall do my best to protect Prince Noel and prove worthy of this honor," he replied.

Majra then looked around as he completed the marriage. "Then with the authority vested in me by the late Elina Anstrum, I hereby officialize this union. May your lives be long and prosperous." he said, then stepped away from the podium.

Raej turned to Noel. "I, Raej was expecting that to take longer," he commented.
Shin walked up to the two of them. "Now that that's over with, congratulations," he said. "Why don't you take the rest of the day off? Though general, I'll want to see you tomorrow to go over your full report on the Oroeth operation."
