The grand temple of the goddess of fertility, Ms. Altolan, is located between the commercial and civilian areas of the city of Gra.

From a distance, at the top of the spire of the Great Temple, a blue water bottle sculpture stands tall. It is the divine emblem of the goddess of fertility, Ms. Altolan, symbolizing the water of life.

In the square outside the Grand Temple, there is a fountain on each left and right. The center of the fountain is two sculptures of goddesses of different ages.

One of the sculptures is the girlish image of Ms. Altoran. She is not beautiful, but she has a gentle and kind appearance. She holds a blue water bottle in her hand, and the fountain is pouring out of the water bottle. Many children's sculptures surround her, making playful shapes.

Another sculpture is the middle-aged image of Ms. Altoran. The water bottle in her hand is upright, and the water overflows from the water bottle and flows down to form a pool.

The public carriage cannot enter the square in front of the temple, and you must walk through this section of the road by yourself.

Ander and Emilia got out of the carriage and walked towards the temple hand in hand, attracting the attention of many ladies.

Most of the people who are active in this square are young ladies and pregnant women. Ms. Altoran is the guardian of pregnant women and the object of praying for those who pray for descendants.

However, not many young men and women like Ender and Emilea come together.

"Ri'an, two young men, I am Pastor Martha. Is there anything I can help you?" A lady with a blue turban and gentle face stood at the door of the temple and asked softly.

"Pastor Martha, we hope to invite a bishop to preside over our wedding." Ender said.

"Officializing the wedding? Are you going to get married?" Pastor Martha was shocked.

To get married, we usually ask the gods to testify. It is not uncommon. The jazz and noble costumes worn by Ender also show that he has reason to ask a bishop to help him preside over the wedding.

However, if a noble wants to get married, he always needs to notify and arrange in advance. How can this happen? There is only a man and a woman, and he runs out of nowhere and says he wants to get married? Do you want relatives, friends and witnesses?

"Yes, this is our dedication to Ms. Altoran." Ender did not explain much, but handed a purse directly.

Money is a very useful thing. Even if it is God's religion, people who are willing to contribute a lot of money must look at each other differently, regardless of whether they are believers or not.

"Please come in first, I will forward your request to Bishop Nancy." Pastor Martha took the purse, turned around and led the way, and walked towards the temple.

The Grand Temple is different from the Catholic church of Earth Sound Catholicism. It is more like a large building, which is divided into many functional rooms, including places to accommodate clergy, places for believers to pray and even organize activities. There are even fields in some temples where food can be grown.

The interior of the temple of the goddess of fertility is not very luxurious, it is more of a gentle and kind atmosphere, and the clergy are mostly women of some age.

"Hello, Pastor Martha." A young woman saw Pastor Martha coming with two young people, hurriedly asked to beside her and saluted respectfully.

"Hello, Jasmine, is it still going well for Mrs. Farris?" Pastor Martha nodded slightly and asked.

"It's very smooth. I'll thank the lady for her blessings, and the mother and son are safe."

"That's good. You have accumulated a lot of achievements. If you work harder, you can be rewarded with the grace of God and become a pastor." Pastor Martha encouraged.

Delivering mothers and providing nursing services for mothers and babies is a kind of practice for clergy in Ms. Altoran sect, and it is also a major source of funds for sect activities.

"Thank you, Pastor Martha." The girl was obviously in a good mood and even spoke lighter.

"Well, keep working hard." Pastor Martha nodded and continued to walk forward with Ander and Emilia.

Turning through two corridors, Pastor Martha takes the two into an unmanned prayer room.

"Please wait here, I'll invite Bishop Nancy."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out.

The door was closed. Ander felt that Emilya suddenly tried to force her hand.

"Emilya, what's wrong with you?" Ander turned his head, but found that Emilya's face was bleak, and tears filled her eyes with her big green eyes.

"An-And, if I lied to you, would you still marry me?" Amilia said with difficulty.

"What's wrong, what are you lying to me?"

"I-I am not Amilia, my name is Belle, the daughter of Baron Locoway-" said the girl's head lowered, waiting for her lover's verdict.

As she lowered her head, Ander saw two drops of water falling toward the ground.

Amilia's confession was also forced to do so.

The priest's third-level magic technique - identification technique is not a joke. This magic technique can not only distinguish whether a woman's body is pure, but also whether she is lying.

(According to the unspoken rules, in aristocratic weddings, identification techniques only target the bride and not the groom - because there are too few aristocratic grooms who are virgins.)

Emilya originally wanted to gradually explain her life experience to Ander, but this sudden wedding made Emilya not have the chance to confess.

"Silly child, I love you only. What's your name and whose daughter you are? What's the point? If you can't shelter you from the wind and rain, how can you be your husband?"

Ander stretched out his hand and gently stroked Belle's long hair.

"Okay! Sir Ander, I'm willing to host the wedding for you!"

The door was pushed open and a tall woman walked in, wearing a blue priestly outfit, followed by Pastor Martha.

The clergy doesn't preside over the wedding casually.

In a sense, clergy from a certain religion presides over a wedding for a couple, which means that the couple has received the blessing of the gods. This is not only a testimony, but also an endorsement.

If you apply in advance and prepare a thorough wedding, it would be fine. Generally, even if both parties are reluctant, there will be no trouble;

But like Ender and Emiliya, the couple ran directly to the temple and asked the clergy to preside over the wedding, which was a huge change.

The noble lady elopes, the noble young master and the maid, such bloody things are not rare in this world - the jokes that the bard said in the tavern are particularly fond of this kind.

If the temple accidentally presides over this elopement wedding, it means that the temple supports their marriage and determines that their marriage is legal. If the family of these young ladies and young masters comes to the door, the temple will also be in trouble.

Although God knows everything in a sense, God cannot stare at every new couple, and there is also some who are confused.

If a clergy presides over such a wedding and causes trouble, it will be very unfavorable to his future.

"Sir Ander, are you willing to protect this lady, shelter her from the wind and rain, and never leave her, whether she is poor or rich, whether she is happy or sad, always with her?"

"I do." Ander Surong replied.

When Ender said the three words "I do," an indescribable feeling surged in his heart - is this the feeling of having family?

No matter in his previous life, Ende was just an orphan. Although many people treated him well, this kind of goodness was actually different from the feelings of his real family. Ende remembered everyone's kindness to him in his heart and had repaid it twice as much.

This also means that Ende regards this kind of "good" as a transaction that can be repaid and quantified. Of course, there are feelings, but these feelings cannot penetrate into Ende's heart.

Yes, Telligan, Corey and Lerela were nice to him and had life-saving grace; the Ryults regarded him as a member of the family and treated him as a son.

But, is this coming out of thin air? Didn’t he deliberately please, work hard, and improve kitchen utensils and recipes, and would others treat him like this?

Win the title of nobles for Lerira, Corey and Tilligan; shelter the Reulte Hotel from the wind and rain, and now he does not owe anyone!

Orphans don’t feel safe and rely on themselves for everything, so Ender never expects others to help him freely.

But today, the simple sentence "I do" allowed Ende to closely connect the fates of himself and Belle through marriage.

After saying the three words "I do", Ande felt as if there was a heart in his chest, giving Ande doubled his strength and warmth.

I, Zhou An, Ander Tills, orphans from two worlds, are you finally going to have a home now?

"Ms. Belle, are you willing to follow this man and give birth to his bloodline, whether it is poor or rich, whether it is happiness or sad, always with him?"

"I do!" Belle's voice trembled as she spoke.

If Ender's answer "I do" is a kind of affirmation, Belle's answer "I do" is a kind of gratitude.

Ander, who climbed out of death and from the bottom of society, would not understand the despair of the noble daughter of Belle (Emilya) who fell from the high and above.

Why did Belle take the initiative to jump out and use herself as a hostage to fight for a way out for her brother?

There is naturally a big reason for this. It is for her brother Gerald to shoulder the hope of reviving the Locoway family, but isn’t it also her despair about the future?

How difficult is it to revive a baron family on the ground? Throughout history, how many nobles have lost their territory and become destitute nobles with empty titles, but how many families can be revived?

Every family that can be revived, sacrifice and luck can be compiled into a legendary novel.

Belle was originally prepared for her fate - it was nothing more than becoming the lover of a powerful nobleman and gaining some bargaining chips for the rejuvenation of the family.

However, since she became Ender's housekeeper, she has experienced the way of getting along with men and women that nobility in this world can never experience.

He quarrels, acts spoiled, and can get angry even if he is fine. Such a relaxed and pleasant way of getting along almost makes Belle forget that he is the assistant who was captured by the Night Demon and prepared for his disciples.

No, it’s not that she forgot, it’s just that she is lying to herself and is unwilling to remember this.

But now, she finally didn't have to worry anymore.

In the visible future, extremely bright happiness is waiting for me - Sorry, brother, I am going to pursue my own happiness.

From now on, I will be Belle Tilles.

Belle held Ende's hand hard, as if she had lightened her strength, and the happiness in her palm would sneak away.

"Warner, are you saying that the other party suddenly turned his face with you?"

Ansel reached out and moved a piece and asked.

"Yes, it's inexplicable. I admit that it's rare for a middle-level professional at such an age, but can't our Terrence family still insult him? That's my sister Carol, not a side branch!"

Warner also moved a chess piece and complained indignantly.

As the two were talking, a maid in a white dress brought a letter.

The Terrence family is a hardcore supporter of the Ottore family (as the Viscount family located in the Marquis of Ottore, it must also be a hardcore supporter of the Ottore family).

As the first successor to the Terrence family, Warner does not need to be shy away from many things.
