But Jason did not appear. Instead, the priest brought the rope forward and began to tie it around their hands. And once the rope was wrapped around them, a sudden tremor went through the bodies of both Agiel and the King, and they both seemed to pass out while standing!
Vinaris, the advisor, grinned from where he was standing as he watched a shield forming around the bodies of the couple. This was a common phenomenon in the marriage ceremony. Once the shield breaks and the couple wakes up from their unconscious state, the union would be complete.
The head priest raised his hands towards the crowd and spoke in a loud voice.
"Let us pray for the union. That it may last for the next one thousand years –!"
BOOM!
