章節 499: Familiar Man In The Crowd

After the banquet, the open parade beckoned—a moment for the newlyweds to grace the capital city in an open carriage, embracing the well-wishes of Karlin's citizens.

Arlan guided Oriana out of the grand hall, where just beyond the threshold, a beautifully adorned carriage awaited. Positioned around it were royal knights and guards astride their horses, forming a ceremonial escort.

Arlan's loyal knights, Imbert and Rafal, took their positions closer to the carriage, serving as the protective guardians of the Crown Prince. Leading the parade was Sir Conor Loyset, the esteemed commander of the royal knights.

Rafal, with a gallant gesture, opened the carriage door, allowing Arlan to assist Oriana as she gracefully ascended the carriage steps. Oriana's eyes met Rafal's, and she noticed his gaze respectfully lowered in the presence of the Crown Princess.
