In Another World, the Boy Was Spoiled by the Iron Knight!-Chapter 319: A Grand Celebration

The cut gems redirected the candle flames into rainbow colors.

Those weren’t glass, right?

He didn’t want to imagine it, were they crystal... or d-diamonds?

When he looked around, he saw many marble pillars carved with artistic designs, and all the decorations and candle stands were made of goldwork.

Was this a legendary Versailles Palace or some cultural heritage building?

And decorated for today with ribbons, banners, flowers, and everything else imaginable, how much money did all this cost?

No, he shouldn’t think about it.

It was far beyond what his brain could handle.

Inside the great hall, the members of the royal family stood first, followed by high-ranking officials who worked in the castle, nobles who had nothing to do with Shiao Yi, and many elegant ladies wearing bright and colorful dresses.

Mixed among them were the knights in uniform.

Seeing some familiar faces among the knights made Shiao Yi feel a small bit of relief.

But really, why were so many people gathered here? Why was everything so extravagant?

Was it because of Dominic’s popularity?

Or was it because the event was hosted by His Majesty?

This was far beyond the level of a normal citizen’s wedding.

Why would the king of an entire nation put so much energy into one citizen’s marriage?

Why was no one questioning this?

And that Dunyarzad why was he silently allowing it?

"Today is a joyful day for my cousin Dominic de Beaumont and Shiao Yi. Everyone, celebrate them. And enjoy yourselves as well, yes, yes."

His Majesty finished his speech quickly.

The king of this country never gave long speeches.

He simply stood there smiling kindly.

When Shiao Yi looked at that warm smile, he felt the assurance that this kingdom was peaceful and stable.

Oh, Dunyarzad stepped onto the platform.

He was always the one who explained important matters.

That sharp and capable men ran the country well and the king trusted him completely.

The aides and senior officials around them also worked hard to answer that trust.

It was a healthy structure for governing a nation.

No tyranny, no selfish rule, only politics for the people.

Things like this were simple to say, but extremely hard to do.

"Dominic de Beaumont, for his achievements, has been granted the title of Earl by His Majesty. He has also been appointed Deputy Commander. Today is the joyful day of his marriage to his adjutant, Shiao Yi. Furthermore, this is the first wedding ceremony between two men. Beginning today, same-sex marriage is officially legalized in Rosaria. His Majesty has declared this day to become a national holiday celebrating same-sex marriage. Congratulations to you both!"

A huge cheer rose from the hall.

What was that!? No one told Shiao Yi anything!

Their wedding day was becoming a national memorial day!?

No, no no no, that was way too embarrassing!

Even Dominic seemed shocked, hearing this for the first time.

His face looked cold and emotionless as always, so others might not notice, but Shiao Yi could tell he was completely flustered.

Even so, both of them were pushed up onto the platform and made to stand before the huge crowd filling the great hall, receiving everyone’s attention and congratulations.

What kind of public punishment was this supposed to be?

The king looked incredibly happy, he keeps smiling nonstop.

But when he glanced at Dunyarzad, he had a triumphant grin, like he had planned everything.

As expected of a man who could serve as the king right hand man.

His heart was black.

His earlier thought that thinking maybe he’s a kind person was withdrawn.

He had prepared the best possible stage to announce the legalization of same-sex marriage, knowing there would be plenty of opposition.

Shiao Yi realized that he and Dominic were now the perfect advertisement for it.

But well... Shiao Yi saw his mother-in-law Lady Ashe wiping her happy tears.

His father-in-law Gabrant looked scary as usual, but he still seemed pleased.

And little Alaric was jumping around with joy.

Dominic’s little brother is already three years old now and he looks very cute.

It was one of the few times when Dominic who was usually an unfilial son could actually show some filial duty.

It would not last forever.

And Shiao Yi was a man.

He told himself he would endure it.

After leaving the stage, Dominic received congratulations from many people, one after another.

Shiao Yi stayed silently by his side with a smile fixed on his face, almost like training.

Many voices reached his ears.

"Lord Dominic is so wonderful."

"You are getting married... How am I supposed to live from now on?"

Please live strong.

"It’s fine. A man becomes even better after he gets a wife. I will not give up. I’ll tempt him for sure. Affairs taste sweet."

Dominic will never be yours. And honestly, you can’t win anyway.

"Shiao Yi is cute too."

"Wait, is Shiao Yi actually a girl?"

He is NOT!

"But isn’t he small? Is he even an adult?"

"So Lord Dominic has a thing for kids? That’s a bit disturbing."

He is twenty one years old.

He’s not a child.

Stop putting weird suspicions on Dominic.

Ah, Rex. He even came here too?

They already celebrated at the church, so Shiao Yi felt a little bad.

Amal was with him as always.

Those two were really close.

Honestly, Shiao Yi was a little curious about what their relationship actually was.

Hm? They came to eat?

Of course. The big tables over there were filled with food and drinks. Food from the royal palace must be delicious.

Go on then go eat together.

Shiao Yi was short, so he couldn’t see well, but the knights were crowding around the tables.

So the food was definitely there.

The one piling food onto a huge plate until it almost fell off was that Louis?

As usual.

Lady Camilla watched him with warm eyes.

That must be the "my cute bear" expression.

Louis was lucky to have such an understanding and unusual wife.
