Chapter 192
Lately, there seems to be an unusual atmosphere in Visas, as if every place is bustling with activity, especially the harbor on the Cogit Sea.
Furthermore, the harbor has recently been closed.
Because the Lord of Desinia and His Holiness the Pope will be holding a grand wedding at the port of the Sea of the Cogit Sea, and this wedding has invited extremely important figures from various small countries and territories.
--Grand Duke Achiyoli, Queen Minina, Archibald, Gena Kozmo, Brali, Shamir, and the former King of the Bia Kingdom, Yasa Derick.
He is now a clergyman in the Desinia Territory.
Indeed, this former king, after the fall of Bia, decisively joined the Saint Church and, through "connections," rose to the position of archbishop.
Cardinal Dempus seems to admire Assa and is currently focusing on grooming him, with the expectation that he will rise to the positions of archbishop and cardinal, eventually becoming an advisor to the next pope.
As soon as she decided to marry the Pope, Cyrus sent out the prepared invitations. Regardless of the recipients' thoughts or expressions, they all came to the Desinia Territory as soon as possible to offer their blessings to Cyrus and the Pope.
Orville and Archibald, having met Cyrus, settled directly into the castle.
The rest of the people were provided with alternative accommodations.
Besides these extremely important figures, many nobles also came from all over the country, firstly to attend the grand wedding of the lord and the pope, and secondly to see the Steam Engine Steam Locomotive and Steamboat powered by steam engines.
The latest drugs developed by the Medical Research Institute will soon be mass-produced and then sold to the outside world through the Thorn Merchant Guild.
Therefore, these people are not in a hurry for medication.
However, given the high cost and long development time of Steam Engine, large-scale mass production and widespread adoption are currently impossible. To witness these two machines that caused such a sensation in the Desinia Territory, one would have to travel there directly; otherwise, it would be a long time before they could be seen in their respective countries or territories.
After learning that the Lord of Desinia was to marry His Holiness the Pope, nobles from all over the country gradually arrived in Visas.
As a result, the flow of people to and from Visas has increased dramatically recently, and the neighboring city of Komoy Fort has also seen a similar surge.
The main impact of this was that the level of security and vigilance in both cities was raised to the highest level.
Those who were most vehement and persistent in their opposition to the two leaders are probably gradually realizing that no matter how much they protest and struggle against this matter, it will ultimately be futile and pointless.
After all... who could challenge their authority with the open support of other kings or lords?
Furthermore, the voices of resistance that had joined them quickly subsided. They were now like people standing on a single log, with no hope ahead and only the option to slowly retreat.
So, in the period leading up to the wedding setup, the territory remained lively, but to some extent, it gradually returned to calm.

After Cyrus decided that the two of them would wear suits at the wedding, the tailors in the castle got busy.
He requested a simple suit, one black and one white, without any unnecessary patterns or decorations, just a fitted and well-proportioned one.
The tailors in the castle were all highly skilled, and they quickly finished making just two suits.
Soon, the two suits specially prepared for the wedding were delivered to Cyrus and Segalot for them to try on, and any problems would be made afterward.
Because the butler and tailor were also present, Cyrus felt embarrassed to go inside to change clothes with the Pope. He took his white suit and went inside to change.
Although the design of this suit is simple, it absolutely accentuates the wearer's charm, especially since the person wearing it also has a striking appearance.
When Cyrus reappeared, she immediately caught everyone's attention.
The three-piece white suit accentuated his slender waist and long legs, while the vest and bow tie underneath were a strikingly different color from the white suit jacket—a burgundy.
The vest peeked out only slightly from under the low-cut suit jacket, while the family crest of Thorn Rose was worn on the left breast, its color echoing the suit.

The maid Kelly tidied up Cyrus's hair in the room, combing it back with only a few strands left in front of her forehead, making Cyrus look more mature and charming.
Segalot stared intently at him, her golden eyes seemingly burning with a flame.
Cyrus's ears turned slightly red. She pulled the Pope up, handed him the pure black suit, and told him to hurry up and go to his room to change.
Segalot chuckled softly, then went inside.
The tailor then carefully examined Cyrus's suit for any minor issues and asked if she felt uncomfortable anywhere.
Not long after, Segalot came out of the room.
Cyrus turned her head to look--
His Holiness the Pope rarely wears such fitted suits; he usually wears looser papal robes or very casual, simple clothing, such as a plain white shirt and black trousers.
Now, Segalot is wearing the same three-piece suit as Cyrus, only in a different color: the jacket and trousers are pure black, while the vest and tie underneath are the same burgundy.
His broad shoulders and long legs, along with his perfectly proportioned and strong physique, were all showcased to their fullest in the suit.
His long, curly hair was simply tied back, with a few strands falling across his forehead. His handsome face and unique temperament made him resemble the bright moon in the sky.
Faced with such a refreshing and blush-inducing pope, Cyrus stared intently, unwilling to look away.
He couldn't resist stepping forward and, under the guise of adjusting Segalot's tie, getting a closer look.
Segalot looked down and noticed Cyrus's bright little eyes. He couldn't help but smile, his whole demeanor softening. He raised his hand and pinched the tip of Shazoi's nose.
How could he not see through Cyrus's main and true ulterior motive?
Judas & the Tailors: What's wrong with feeling a little stuffy?
The suit was eventually taken to be altered.
After trying on their clothes, Cyrus and Segalot went to see Orville and Archibald, who were both in the furry creatures' room.
When they went inside, Orville was holding up a little dress that looked like a lady's dress and gesturing to Eggy, seemingly wanting to dress the dog in a new outfit herself.
Eggy's dog face looked utterly dejected, because it was now wearing a pink bubble dress.
"Awooo, awooo."
Seeing Cyrus walk in, Eggy hurriedly barked at him.
"They're here." Orville calmly put down the little dress he was holding.
After nodding in acknowledgment, Cyrus continued, "These little clothes are all very pretty, and there are also hats, bow ties... I plan to have Noah and Snow try them on when we get back."
Noah was Orville's pet owl, Snow was the little Snow Wolf that Gena had given him.
Cyrus said he had a lot of fluffy little clothes for the animals and could give Orville a few new ones.
Orville accepted them without hesitation; after all, the clothes were exquisitely made, and he liked them.
"Come on, Eggy, let's continue." Orville said in a nonchalant tone, words that drove the dog to despair.
Poor Eggy was completely held tightly in the Grand Duke's arms and couldn't escape.
Archibald, perhaps feeling sorry for the dog, couldn't help but ask, "Why are you only dressing Eggy in a skirt?"
The other fluffy creatures, except for Eggy, were all lying leisurely to one side, dozing off, basking in the sun with their eyes half-closed, or patting their toys back and forth.
Cyrus said, "Because Eggy made a mistake, from now on, every fluffy creature will have to wear a little skirt after making a mistake..."
There's no way around it; if the punishment is too harsh, we're reluctant to punish him, and if it's too lenient, he won't realize his mistake.
That day, he was in a hurry to go to the Scientific Research Institute, so he refused Eggy's request to chase after him and play frisbee. He thought Eggy was being sensible. But when he came back that night, Eggy had made a mess of some places in the castle.
With Judas, Gibran, and the others absent, the servants dared not stop them and could only follow Eggy around, tidying up the mess.
When Cyrus returned, the cleanup wasn't finished—the entire corridor was covered in black footprints from Eggy's running back and forth, its paws embedded in the soil from overturned flowerpots...
Faced with the filthy Eggy, Cyrus's hands were raised and lowered repeatedly...
Orville nodded thoughtfully; it was a good idea.
Archibald said, "They should be punished."
He glanced at the Pope, who sat quietly beside Cyrus, and after their eyes met, he turned away slightly, smiling at Cyrus, "Little Zuoyi, congratulations."
"Thank you." Cyrus smiled.
Orville: "Is it alright if the wedding is held in the Cogit Sea harbor?"
Weddings are usually held indoors, and the marriage takes place after the engagement. However, Cyrus and the Pope skipped the engagement step and held their wedding outdoors.
This means that, apart from the invited royalty and nobles, ordinary people can also participate in the couple's wedding nearby.
At that time, the defenses must be raised to the highest level.
Cyrus shook her head. "It's okay."
He hugged the Rice Cake that jumped into his arms, and stroked the Snowball nestled beside him, saying, "They can't be absent from my wedding."
Since Rice Ball can only be found in the ocean, Cyrus naturally had to consider the location for the wedding.
The harbors of the Cogit Sea are very suitable.
Since Cyrus said so, it meant she had already made up her mind. Orville nodded and said nothing more.
The wedding day was fast approaching.
Cavalry appeared in Visas to maintain order. From the road leading to Visas from Komoy Fort, guards lined both sides, guiding those heading to the harbor and preventing chaos in the procession...
The final stretch of road from Visas to the harbor was even more strictly controlled; Cyrus ordered Ferdinand to set up a temporary checkpoint to inspect the items carried by those entering and leaving.
The harbor area of the Cogit Sea was divided into zones to separate ordinary people from the royal family and nobles, but those in the zone could still see the wedding of Cyrus and the Pope.
With everything arranged in such an orderly manner, the moment for the wedding to begin finally arrived.
