Blutige Hochzeit

[genuine_human]

Who: The Major, Integra Hellsing, Alphonse Delacroix, Schrodinger, Rip van Winkle, the Doctor, Alucard, Amestrian officials, Church officials, and everybody else
Where: Cathedral in Imperial City
When: Nearing the end of Spring Court
What: Integra and the Major's wedding
Warnings: Hideous unions

Spring Court was a time where many couples came together for their unions. Having a wedding around this time would ensure prosperity and happiness for years to come. But not all couples were fortunate enough to be able to schedule their marriages during this week-long event. The Major's wedding with Integra Hellsing was a political union between the Church and Amestris. It wasn't a surprise that his could bypass much of the necessary bureaucratic channels. The Cathedral had seen decorations move in and out like a storm in these past weeks. And now, it was currently decorated with the colors of the Spring Court in one end as well as the colors of Amestris in another. The wedding was a public affair as personally requested by the Major himself. Anybody may enter the cathedral, talk among one another, and indulge in the comestibles set about on tables. The wedding would soon begin in time.

The man was wider horizontally, but shorter vertically compared to Integra. While the moment at hand could not have been remotely intimate to her, to the Major, everything that was taking place was like a comedy. His lips stretched across his face and his cheeks were positively glowing. He waited up the aisle and faced Integra, caring little to hide that smile of his. Why so eager to finish this, Integra? You should savor the moment as much as you can. This is probably going to be your one and only wedding after all.

Delacroix moved to the podium, his expression grave and the miter balanced carefully on his head. In one hand he held a gold staff with a cross embedded in glowing crystal at the head, in the other, he held the Holy Bible.

As he reached the podium, he cleared his throat.

"People of Dagaria, we are gathered here today to recognize the marriage of a great house and a great nation. We join together in celebration as the House of Hellsing is tied evermore to the great Kingdom of Amestris. People of Dagaria, please stand for opening prayers."

The Major was adamant in keeping his name hidden. After all, his title was a sufficient identity. Even during this wedding, that was more or less his one and only request. Delacroix certainly knew how to accommodate. The people stood and the Major couldn't help but smirk in his heart. He held no respect for the sheep that followed the whims of a nonexistent god through the creative interpretations of the Pope in front of him. Delacroix certainly did a wonderful job in keeping them under their thumb after his predecessors. Either way, perhaps the Major himself could feign a prayer just the same. It wasn't too difficult. All he had to do was close his eyes and put down his head.

Integra stop herself from frowning at Delacroix's words. Like Hell her family name would ever truly be tied to this monster and his country, and today she'd make sure of that. The young woman was also finding it increasingly hard not to smirk, however, at the same time -- the very sight of the Major, bowing his head in a false prayer was enough to send anyone who knew him into a fit of hysterics.

Keeping it in, however, she quietly bowed her head as well, but did not close her eyes. No, never close your eyes around the enemy, and right now, she was surrounded by them.
