After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 784

The music continued to play a mellow yet striking tune as the groom settled by the altar.

With the abundance of metal now, a lot of inventions popped up, and although they were pressed for time, the team managed to make simple string instruments like the harp and guitar. There was also a variety of percussion instruments developed, though those would be used in the reception later on.

There happened to be quite a few musicians in their population and one could play the harp. The previous day, rush auditions were held by Ansel and Fable, not only for Althea’s wedding, but also to determine who could be permanent musicians for the territory.

They had taken note of what instruments people played, but of course had to focus on the only instruments that were made during this time—the harp.

The man chosen was called Mirka, a twenty-two-year-old college student from a renowned music school.

He didn’t do it professionally yet but he was good, talented, and most importantly he loved the instrument. His play brought people to a peaceful and wonderful place. The feeling felt dynamic as he played his piece.

The guitarist was Fable himself, who had started out posting social media videos of him covering popular songs at the time. If the wedding itself wasn’t so meaningful and thematic, some of his fangirls would’ve swooned for him.

There were also more refined wind instruments and bells and chimes, creating a lovely little band to create thematic music fitting for the event.

Fable and Mirka were truly gifted musicians to be able to harmonize like this only after more than a day of practice. Their music made the audience fall into a wonderful daze, falling deeper into this meaningful moment along with the couple.

Mathilda stood in front of the pew in another grand official-looking dress, standing so poised as always.

Under the sound of the band, they waited for the arrival of the rest of the entourage. A moment later, the maid of honors and the groomsmen arrived in uniform dress code.

The first ones were Winona and Sheila, gorgeous in pastel-colored dresses with long sleeves. They had run to the back from gossiping with the guests as soon as the music started.

They walked poised and in-sync. They also had matching flowers in their hair as the ones on the groomsmen’s—Ansel and Beanie—chest pockets.

The bouquet theme naturally reflected on the adorable flower girl, Maya, and the little ringbearer Theo also with the same flowers on his little breast pocket.

Horus was also there… as a flower boy. He was very shy so he unconsciously used his stealth skill which made the glitchy illusion that the flower petals were thrown from nowhere by magic.

It was very amusing, and the audience smiled and giggled at the sight.

Soon, the music turned more mellow, but at the same time it adopted a more varied rhythm, indicating that the other main character was finally approaching.

"The bride is here," The officiator—Mathilda—spoke, and they all turned to the back, to see…

A fairy.
