Bab 283: From now on, Gisel is Mine I

Morning arrived as a mother's gentle hand, inviting the dreams of the night to enter the day. The sun painted the horizon with golden light. The songs of the early birds sounded better than any music. It could calm anyone's soul. Waking up to the view of the sun rising on the horizon and the calm sea always soothed Caius's mind. Today was different, today he was looking at hundreds of nobles gathered around him. Instead of hearing the chirping of the early birds, he heard only the cheers of people who were excited to witness the wedding ceremony of Fabia, the only daughter of Senator Viridius.

The arena could simply hold 45,000 people. Because the ceremony was meant for only the richest and the powerful, out of 45,000 seats, only 350 were filled including the senators. Many nobles from the nearby kingdoms attended the ceremony with their relatives. They were more interested in watching gladiators fight to the death rather than Fabia's wedding.
