September 15th, Tingen.

People were constantly entering the church belonging to the Evernight Church, because there was a wedding here today.

Inside the church, Dunn stood near the altar, dressed in the groom's attire, his expression slightly restrained, showing that he was very nervous.

Not too far from him, a woman who looked like Dunn's mother was talking to guests, and she seemed very happy.

Suddenly, festive and cheerful music rang out, and the already decorated church instantly took on a sacred meaning.

Then, finally no longer dressed like a Spirit Medium as usual, Daly, wearing a pure white wedding dress, entered from the door, her arm linked with Lin Ruo, who was acting as an elder and the officiant for this wedding.

Originally, it shouldn't have been Lin Ruo who escorted Daly in, as this was usually the job of the bride's father and mother, or at least an elder in the family.

But Daly's parents had passed away, and she didn't seem to get along well with her other relatives, so after much discussion, this 'sister' actually decided to ask Lin Ruo to take on this role.

Lin Ruo didn't have any objections to this, after all, the person involved had no objections.

So, at this moment, witnessed by everyone in the church, Lin Ruo, like an old father, led Daly step by step along the aisle towards the altar, and handed her over to Dunn.

"Your Excellency Lin Ruo…" Dunn almost subconsciously wanted to salute, but before he could bend his waist, Lin Ruo stopped him, shaking his head with a smile and saying, "Today's protagonist isn't me, Dunn.

Although it's not particularly appropriate for me to say this, but… I'm entrusting Daly to you."

Dunn subconsciously looked at Daly, and although his expression didn't change much, the tips of his ears turned red at this moment, and then his gaze flickered, looking quite embarrassed.

In fact, not only him, but Daly, the bride, wasn't in much better shape either.

This girl, who usually sped along with her words, now had her eyes slightly lowered, her face covered with a blush as if from shyness, and she even looked a little at a loss.

Then, the couple bowed slightly to each other, performed a salute, and then both faced the holy emblem and Lin Ruo's direction.

As the officiant of this wedding, Lin Ruo's gaze then swept across the church.

To be honest, not many people attended Dunn and Daly's wedding, and they were mainly people from the church and the authorities, or followers of the Evernight Church.

Ordinary people only accounted for a small portion, which may be related to the nature of their jobs.

Lin Ruo didn't waste any time and said:

"Distinguished guests, good afternoon.

It is my honor today, under the gaze of the merciful Goddess, to witness a sacred marriage."

"Praise the Lady."

Almost everyone in the church raised their right hand at the same time, and tapped four times clockwise in front of their chest, completing the praise to the Evernight Goddess.

When everyone calmed down, Lin Ruo turned his head to look at Daly and said:

"Ms. Daly Simone, are you willing to have this man beside you as your husband, and to enter into a marriage contract with you? Are you willing, in the long life that follows, whether in poverty or wealth, whether in sickness or health, to love him, respect him, accompany him, and take care of him, until the end of life?"

Daly looked at the holy emblem of the 'Evernight Goddess', her eyes somewhat complicated, but she nodded solemnly and said:

"I do."

Lin Ruo turned to glance at Dunn, and found that Dunn, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't stop the smile on his face at this moment, and even looked a little silly.

This made him laugh involuntarily, and he continued:

"Mr. Dunn Smith, are you willing to have this woman beside you as your wife, and to enter into a marriage contract with you? Are you willing, in the long life that follows, whether in poverty or wealth, whether in sickness or health, to love her, respect her, accompany her, and take care of her, until the end of life?"

Dunn nodded immediately and said:

"I do!"

Lin Ruo then looked at the others in the church, and naturally there was no cliché scene of someone rushing out to steal the bride.

He then continued:

"Then, please repeat after me:

Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay. Your country will be my country, your God will be my God."

Dunn and Daly followed Lin Ruo closely in their vows, and then exchanged rings under Lin Ruo's witness.

Looking at the hands of the two held together, and once again blessing the two in the name of the Goddess, Lin Ruo blinked and said: "Alright, groom, now you may kiss your wife."

Dunn looked at Daly, whose hands were clasped with his, but this time he didn't act shy.

So, under the gaze of so many eyes in the church, Dunn kissed his bride.

… …

After witnessing the marriage contract process of the bride and groom, the next step was naturally the popular wedding banquet.

"I can't tell, the Captain can really hold his liquor, how many glasses has he had…" At the dessert area of the banquet hall, Klein looked at Dunn, who was drinking glass after glass in the center of the hall, his expression unchanged, and said with some emotion, "If it were me, I would have collapsed long ago."

"Is that why you're drinking ginger ale here?" Lin Ruo, who had done what the officiant should do, and was now relaxed, glanced at the ginger ale in Klein's hand, which looked like wine but was actually completely deceiving, and said.

"Isn't it because I have to accompany Melissa and Benson to see a play tonight? I can't go home drunk, can I?" Klein subconsciously replied, glanced at Lin Ruo, and then his expression became subtle, and said:

"Besides, don't talk about me, you're not drinking alcohol either."

Lin Ruo also didn't drink alcohol, the cup in his hand was filled with juice.

"If I get drunk, will you take care of me?"

Lin Ruo glanced at him, drinking the juice with a clear conscience.

"Uh… it's not like I can't."

Klein subconsciously replied, then he looked at Lin Ruo, but was stunned for a moment.

The black-haired youth's eyes reflected the lively venue, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his mood seemed good, but it was inexplicably out of place with this hustle and bustle.

It was a kind of estrangement, a kind of loneliness, as if the person in front of him belonged to this world, but not completely.

Klein could actually understand why this was, because he had the same problem, which was a common problem for transmigrators.

But he still had Benson and Melissa, what about Lin Ruo?

Klein had never seen Lin Ruo's relatives… No, considering that Lin Ruo was in a state of amnesia, and may have transmigrated to this world thousands of years ago, does he really still have relatives?

Klein didn't know.

But he felt that he should do something, as Lin Ruo's friend, as his student, so Klein spoke:

"Lin Ruo, are you free tonight?"

"Nothing much, what's the matter?" Lin Ruo took a sip of juice and asked.

"Do you want to go see a play together?" Klein asked.

"A play? With your family?" Lin Ruo glanced at Klein, then nodded and said: "Okay, Dad accepts your invitation."

Klein: … …

I was wrong, I shouldn't have had the illusion that I should do something just now!

Lin Ruo then looked at Dunn, who was being poured wine, and casually asked: "By the way, what play are we watching?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be called 'The Return of the Earl', Melissa chose it." Klein replied, then he saw Lin Ruo seemed to be stunned for a moment, his expression became a little subtle, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this play?"

"No, I just think… it's pretty good."
