Ceremony venue.
Here was an open-air venue belonging exclusively to the military faction, located by the canal near the command building.
The weather today was exceptionally fine, the sky a bright blue with billowing white clouds.
The expansive river water flowed and rippled, golden sunlight scattering down, the water's surface glittering and dazzling, too bright for the eyes, gorgeously resplendent.
The platform for the medal conferral ceremony was already set up, surrounded by lights that swept colorful beams into the sky, painting the heavens in a riot of colors.
Solemn and stirring military music sounded.
Dewey stood at the top of the stairs and shouted, "Supreme Commander arrives!"
A blinding white light shone down, illuminating Ralph's straight and upright heroic figure.
He wore formal military dress uniform, strode toward the platform, with Joyce following behind him.
The soldiers on either side of them immediately saluted, standing ramrod straight, reverent and deferential.
Such a scene could not help but command awe.
The dazzling lights shifted back, falling upon Joyce walking behind Ralph.
She wore proper military dress uniform, the stars on her epaulettes sparkling, her perfect face and aloof air immediately becoming the focus of the entire venue.
Brimming with heroic spirit yet alluringly charming, the various qualities blended into a unique aura.
Wisdom, courage, beauty all concentrated in one person.
Ralph and Joyce walked toward the platform, nodding slightly to the officers and soldiers around them as they went.
The atmosphere was solemn and stirring, compelling veneration.
Cecelia sat in the front row of the stands, smiling as she watched it all.
The century-old military faction had finally taken on a new look, and the Heath family finally had a formal successor. She felt especially gratified, feeling that the bitterness of the past twenty odd years and wrong turns walked had all been worthwhile.
She gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, sighing softly. If you're watching from heaven, Zachary, you should be able to rest in peace now.
Luther stood below the platform with Anderson, his eyes fixed upon her, deeply moved.
Now she shone as brilliantly as the stars in the sky. Sometimes he even felt she was so distant, he almost couldn't believe she belonged to him, if not for having her by his side each day.
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
I hate it when the hero and heroine are made out to be fools for the evil people that wish to steal their lives and live. Hopefully Charlotte is found out quickly and removed. Why should a villain with an illegitimate child reap all the rewards. Terrible....
