The wedding as began.

Charles stood erect with his arms out as his aides started fitting on his undervestments. His close friend since childhood, Morgan Everett, sat nearby on a chair with a red, jovial face as he spoke.

"I see its your big day, Frances. She really is beautiful, no?"

The young Emperor smiled weakly as the custom tailored suit was tightened around his torso.

"Yes, she is. Her eyes. I can speak of them for eternity."

"Then it must be, love?"

"Yes."

"But what about... Ms. Marseilles?"

"I am done with her. We are over that."

"Are you so sure?"

After a short silence, Charles replied.

"No, I am not..."

In the bride room
Sophia put on her classic wedding dress and ask"How do I look?"

"Fine,you look fine Sophia."Reply Nashida

"You alway look good,when I'll wait intill my wedding in Nov 1." reply Fawzia

"Ah yes to Vizier Harun al-Rashid Bin Abbasid(29 years old)."Said Sophia

"Let get this on.May we go now?"Ask Fawzia

"Yeah lets go."reply Sophia

Soon the clothing was fully placed upon him, the elaborate uniform of the Grey Knights of Teche, a knighthood that Frances is a member of. He took a deep, constrained breath (the clothing was rather tight around his chest) and put his hand on Morgan's shoulder.

"Pray to your God for me."

He smiled and left the room as Morgan looked after him.

"He is ready, it has begun."

Morgan then smiled and waited in the room, listening to the commotion outside.

Quickly the ceremony was prepared as Charles stood at the altar, the Catholic priest in full attire behind him ready to read the vows. He stood straight and proud, smiling and waiting for his bride to come.

Sophia brothers,Father and Mother were standing at the Altar.
Sophia walk into the scene.Her sister Fawzia and Nashida walk right behind her.
Sophia made it up to Altar and smile at Charles.

As they turned to face the priest that began to open the scriptures, he leaned over and whispered.

"The world is not worthy of your beauty."

He then smiled and began to speak his vows. He spoke clearly and loudly, with great sincerity and strength.

"Dearest Sophia, with these rings we unite our hearts in tenderness and devotion. We will honor each other's cultures as we join customs to form a trusting relationship. We will protect, support, and encourage each other through life's joys and sorrows as we create a loving future. We promise to establish a home for ourselves and our children shaped by our respective heritages; a loving environment dedicated to peace, hope, and respect for all people. From this day forward our lives will be intertwined forever, blessed in faith, filled with compassion, understanding and love."

"I, Sophia, take you,Charles, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life. I pledge, in honesty and sincerity, to be for you an obedient and faithful wife. She reply and waiting for him do his vows.

"And I, Frances Voleur, Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte the II, will be to you an obedient and faithful husband."

The priest placed there hands with their wedding rings together and wraped a sash around it.

"If anyone has any objections to this marriage between Frances Voleur and Sophia al Bashir, please speak now, or forever hold your peace."

After a moment where none objected, the priest carried on.

"I now declare you husband and wife, Emperor and Empress of the Imperial Union. You may now, kiss the bride."

Charles looked down and Sophia. He quickly embraced her and they had their first kiss, the crowd began to cheer and in the background, the Imperial Anthem played, but Charles could care less, all he could hear was the symbiotic beat of his and Sophia's heart. In that moment, he didn't exactly know what he felt, and he didn't want to let go, but when they released from each other, all he could do was grin. He looked to the crowd and waved at the standard ovation. He then looked back to Sophia for a short moment. Around them the people began to get ready and leave for the reception, where there was to be a royal ball and Sophia to be crowned.

"Throw your bouqeut, let us see who will be the lucky bride next time."

Sophia threw the bouqeut, Nashida caught the bouqeut.

He smiled and bent down, sweeping his arms under her kneed and picking her up in her wedding gown into his arms and began to take her down the steps to their transportation where they would reach the ball. As they exited the building rice was thrown over them and they rushed through the crowd, the joy of the moment taking them as they laughed. Soon he placed her in the transport and they rushed off to the ball.

As everyone got settled in, a rather stout, harsh looking Italian man came to both the Bride and Groom, with a rather smug face. He spoke in a Corsican accent.

"Its a pleasure to meet the bride of my good firend here. I'm Ducheski, Gregorio, and don't you forget it."

He held out his hand, which had many orante rings on it. He shook rather strongly.

"Mr. Ducheski is the Security Minister. He's called the most feared man in the Empire, for good reason. He was appointed by my predecessor, Charles Louis the I, also known as Sir Jacques Brun, father of the Countess of Verseilles, Madame Elisabeth Brun. He has many contacts with, unscrupulous sources. However, he is good at the job, so I saw no reason not to let him keep the position."
