What is marriage?

When Gloria took over the title of duke from her father, she had already made plans to sacrifice her marriage for Anjou.

The prince of England is in her prime, if the king of France does not allow her existence, she can take the land of Anjou to seek England as a backer;

Mother Anastasia's home country wrote a letter, and the country of Ross was even willing to let the king's youngest son marry him to Anjou, just in exchange for Ross's influence in France;

King Louis was eyeing her. Before getting engaged, Louis, who was 12 years older than her, considered getting engaged to her, who was only four years old at the time, when she was 16 years old.

There are many such things, but without exception, her marriage is a tool for profit.

Gloria didn't feel sad, or rather, every noble girl wouldn't feel sad.

This is the price they need to pay while enjoying it.

But now, Gloria was confused.

In the middle of the night, she leaned against the soft bed, the surrounding curtains were hanging down, and the wind outside the window passed through the room inadvertently, making the room cool.

Gloria put her hands on her stomach and quietly looked at the paintings on the wall.

In the painting, the Virgin Mary has a peaceful face, surrounded by all kinds of cute children, with a pair of small wings growing behind them, and the one held by Mary in her arms has blond hair and blue eyes , is a child blessed by all.

For every nobleman, giving birth to a child is a task.

They marry the same person under the arrangement of their parents, even if they don't love each other.After marriage, the same room gives birth to heirs, and then they can go to find their lovers.

For the nobles, they only care about giving birth, and the task of raising children is handed over to nannies and tutors.Sometimes, maybe parents' love for their children is not even as deep as that of a nanny.

In Gloria's view, Anastasia was born Rose, and her love for herself was different from that of Western European society as a whole.

But she herself grew up in France, so it stands to reason that she shouldn't have any other feelings for the child in her womb, but now...

In the slightly protruding lower abdomen, the child's beating could not be felt yet, but when Gloria put her hands on her stomach, she felt so happy in her heart.

It's like, it's what I've been waiting for.

She was extremely happy and looked forward to the arrival of this child.

In the early morning of the second day, with the rising sun, she was pulled up from the bed by Anastasia.

Today's Anastasia is gorgeously dressed, and even took out the gemstone tiara she wore when she got married, preparing to adorn Gloria.

"Isn't it still early?" Gloria yawned.

Anastasia raised her eyebrows: "There are no lazy brides here."

After that, she clapped her hands, and the maids waiting outside came in with various items.

Wedding dresses, jewelry, cosmetics, flowers... the entire bedroom is almost filled with these things.

Gloria bathed and dressed under the service of the maid, and her long golden hair was braided into a beautiful style by the skillful maid.

"What about him?" Gloria held an apple and took a bite. The juice was overflowing, sweet and delicious.

Anastasia snorted coldly: "I can't leave after seeing you for a long time? Don't worry, I won't let his head fall before he marries you."

Gloria shrugged: "You'd better put this thought away."

As Gloria's mother, how could Anastasia not understand her daughter's thoughts, she helped Gloria put on the earrings, and sighed: "You really have grown up."

Gloria is noncommittal.

With all preparations in place, Anastasia placed her jeweled tiara on top of Gloria's head.

The emeralds shone brightly, like Gloria's eyes, dazzling against the surrounding diamonds.

"Your grandmother used to wear this crown for me when she married me. Now, it belongs to you." Anastasia leaned over and kissed her daughter's forehead, sending her mother's deep blessing, "Your If your father is alive, he will be proud of you."

As a wife, Anastasia did not give birth to a male heir for her husband, which is a sad thing for any nobleman.

However, before her husband passed away, he said to her with great relief...

"The greatest glory of my life is not the moment when I inherit the title, nor is it the scene of stepping on the corpse of the enemy when I win the war. My greatest glory is our Gloria."

Gloria.

Gloria.

"Go, today, you are the most beautiful bride." Anastasia helped Gloria up from the chair, she patted her daughter's shoulder, and said to her with a smile.

Gloria came out of the bedroom, and there were people who wished her well all the way.She will take a carriage to the church that has already been prepared.

Although the road is not far away, her ministers have laid a net for it.

Once someone with a suspicious whereabouts appears, they will immediately arrest the other party, detain them first, and interrogate them after the wedding is over.

Gloria held up the skirt, and the bridesmaids held up the back for her.

When she got off the carriage, cheers from the crowd immediately came from afar.

As the most popular lord in the whole of France, or in other words, in the whole of Western Europe, Gloria's wedding was blessed by all her subjects.

Gloria waved to the crowd, and she walked into the church amidst blessings one after another.

There, almost half of the nobles in Western Europe came.What's even more surprising is that the Byzantine Empire, which had never dealt with Western European nobles very well, sent the third prince of the empire to attend the wedding of a duchess as a show of sincerity.

Of course, as Gilgamesh's nominal "maternal home", the Holy Roman Empire also sent envoys.

Seeing the beautiful bride, everyone present was moved.

But in this one, the sullen face of King Louis of France stands in stark contrast to the smiling wife beside him.

Gloria walked towards the front where the bishop was, and there, Gilgamesh was wearing traditional French clothes, with a smile in his scarlet eyes.The sharpness was replaced by tenderness. At this moment, Gilgamesh is just a bridegroom in joy.

The distance from the gate to Gilgamesh is short, yet long.

When their fingers touched, Gilgamesh leaned over and whispered in her ear, "You are beautiful today, my rose."

Gloria was slightly dazed, but the bishop had already begun to read the wedding vows.

With everyone's blessing, they exchanged rings and kissed each other.

Under God's gaze, Gloria and Gilgamesh were married.
