Patriarch Geodard came alone, smiling as he approached Aldrian.
"Your Majesty, it is good to see you again and in good health," he said as he bowed the moment he arrived at the stairs that led to Aldrian's throne.
Aldrian approached Patriarch Geodard. "It is good to see you too, Patriarch. How is Sir Alric doing?"
"He is as healthy as ever, Your Majesty," Patriarch Geodard replied. "Anyway, although I am late, congratulations on Your Majesty's marriage with Empress Baek. We hope that Your Majesty lives a long and loving life with Empress Baek and all of Your Majesty's harem. This is our gift for Your Majesty's marriage."
Patriarch Geodard then took out a box from his storage ring and showed it to Aldrian before opening it.
