Chapter 909 - The Royal Gamble
Everyone quieted down like magic, as they genuinely wanted to know how news reporting worked.
Just watching the camera crew do their thing looked incredibly cool.
Even the new reporters sounded so elegant and outstanding.
Everyone perked up their ears and chewed on snacks excitedly.
"I'm Jessie Aluya."
"And I'm Ryan Globa, and this is the BBC, Channel 1, reporting from Sanpodia Square, the cradle of royalty.
Jessie, can you believe the sight before us?
Just look at the turn-up.
It truly is an extraordinary sight."
"Yes, Ryan. I totally agree.
Ha-hahaha.... Oh my God.
I just spotted the most amazing thing today.
Right over there, at 3 0'clock, there are people holding up signs.
And one says, 'Marry me, Queen Penelope.'
What a guy.
At someone's wedding, that's the sign he's holding up?"
The crowd who heard the jokes laughed while snacking merely.
The reporters had turned into comedians, keeping their spirits up.
The Cameras focused on the man holding the signboard, who in turn jumped and shook his signboard happily.
Hey, he was going to be on Tv for the first time, which blew his mind.
He jumped and started yelling for Penelope to marry him.
Who made her have so many fans?
Everyone focused on the commentaries happily.
And as the guests arrived, the reporters surprised everyone.
Where these news reporters, Caronians?
How was it that they knew all the guests?
Heh.
Little did the people know that before this event, the chosen reporters had studied the portraits of every main guest and had also seen a few when they just arrived in the Capital.
Of course, they didn't have to know all the guests.
But, it was also crucial for them to know those that were almost celebrities here in Carona.
.
"Over there, quickly!
Who could be coming out of the carriages?
Oh heavens, that is Count Harrison Douglas, his wives, Amelia, Christina, Ewo, and Yimu, as well as their children.
Outstanding.
I have to say; their outfits are superb and very fitting for the occasion."
"I totally agree, Jessie.
And their daughters and sons didn't disappoint as well.
Do you know, the Count's 6th daughter, miss Angelica, is a big fashion icon?"
"Yes, I heard about that.
It's also said that she appeared on the cover of Vogue magazine when she went down the runway on one of the fashion shows."
"Yes, and did you know, in one of their interviews, she did say that before modelling, she was very uncomfortable at the fact that she was taller than most within her age group.
But now, she crushed her insecurities and bloomed.
Good for her."
"Yes, now, she's one of the significant Caronian idols that fashion watchers have been anticipating to see what she would be wearing.
And there she is, in a glorious royal peach gown, with her tiny golden clutch."
"Oh, look! Look! Look!
It's Baymardian actor Jonathan Miguel."
"Oh my God, I thought you were joking.
Is that really Raiden from Mortal Kombat?"
You know, I heard he's also going to be starting in a new movie as well.
It's called Ip Man."
"Hey, isn't that Megan Crayer, who starred in Battle Royale?
Oh my, is she friends with Duchess Viscountess Fria O'dore from the empire of Terique?
They came together and are even chatting merrily.
Could this be the case where nobility meets celebrity?"
"_"
The people listened and poked their heads from time to time, watching all the celebrities, nobles, and other guests get off their carriages, walk through the Square and step onto the massive Sanpodia dome.
So far, they were genuinely enjoying the whole experience.
Today's events would probably be one of those stories passed down from generation to generation by those that witnessed it.
It would even turn into those cheesy ones that grandparents tell their grandchildren, with overly exaggerated facts.
All the same, they were having the time of their lives.
And soon, the groom's bridal train arrived with his Boys.
.
"Bless my soul; it's Duke Benjamin Hamilton and his entourage."
Everyone focused on the slow-moving cars driving into the place.
Many car lovers almost fainted from shock.
F***!
Is that the latest Bay-Royce Ghost 3?
Hell!
Did they just see a Kimbolia66-Aston Martin Luv?
The many cars made some want to rush towards those cars and kiss them fiercely.
To these car lovers who bought car magazines monthly, they more than anyone knew the latest models.
Yes.
Even though the magazines and newspapers took time to reach the city after arriving at the shores, it was still the latest model because new car editions took time to be released.
So when a particular brand made a new car, it could take a year or so before the next model came out.
The concept was similar to how companies on earth release the latest mobile phones and whatnot.
One had to give time for the consumers to get interested in the products before bringing out more.
These car fans screamed, jumped and hugged each other gleefully.
~Ooooooo
They can die now with no regrets.
As for Santa and his gang, they waved within the vehicles like bosses.
And when they stepped out, the entire audience went even crazier as the reporters announced all the big bosses that came with Santa.
Just look at the cool way they all came out and stood.
Damn!
Duke Benjamin, from today, I'm your biggest fan.
Landon was there, William, Micheal, Adrian, Samuel, Javis, Andrew, Duke Richard (brother-in-law to Carmelo and Samuel), and all 3 of Penelope's brothers; Robert, Asher, Neeson, who Landon brought over on his way here after their mission of destroying the temple's bases were destroyed.
The entire gang stepped like bosses, with Santa at the front.
"Duke Hamilton, we love you!"
"Ahhh... His majesty Landon Barn, I'm your biggest fan."
"Zalipnian Prince Andrew, I want to be your wife!!!"
"His majesty William Barn, please don't look at me like this.
You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"King Adrian, why do you keep looking younger by the days?
Are you still looking for a wife? Because I have my resume here."
"Caronian Prince Neeson, I just want to say that I'm ready to be your wife anytime now.
No...forget about being human.
I don't mind transforming into your chair.
Prince Neeson, I love you!!"
"_"
.
Everyone smiled bitterly with a bit of embarrassment when they heard the comments.
For this, they could only blame Landon and his Baymardians for infecting the people... not that they were complaining.
Yup!
Before, many people had these thoughts when they saw the handsome royals, but they dared not voice their appreciation.
They would just blush, whisper, goggle and avoid eye contact shyly.
But now, F*** that.
Thousands and thousands of People were holding signboards, waving enthusiastically, screaming their appreciation at them.
Now, just like back on earth where the famous prince Harry, William and the rest would interact, take autographs and smile with their fans, the royals had started signing autographs, holding babies and doing more as well.
At the same time, every time they were sincerely complimented, which made them know how much the people appreciated their work.
At times, they also got to know of real impending issues too.
Also, who didn't like to be told that they were good-looking?
Even grandpa Adrian was also targeted.
Well, blame it on the fact that in this era, even grandpa's were hot.
They had children at young ages, compared to back on earth, where many waited for their late 20's.
Secondly, they trained and worked out daily, so they were fit, still had abs for days and looked good.
Adrian even began feeling that at 56 years of age, he might be so old as he thought.
Nonetheless, his one true love was his only wife, who was of late.
And that was that.
Just like that, the groom's entourage entered the massive Sanpodia.
And not very long, the bride was here.
Now everyone was curious.
What Wedding dress was she wearing?
They had never seen their queen wear a dress since she was young.
So, was she going to finally wear one now?
Those that gambled on this matter dared not look away.
"Please be a dress."
"Please be a Pants."
"Com'on, dress."
"Pants."
"Dress!"
"Pants!"
"Dress!!"
