Chapter 10: The Wedding

Dawn broke in the forest, but no birds sang.

The castle was nothing but a pile of stones.

The only sound was Odile crying over Zigfried's body.

"Oh Zigfried, my one true love!Why did you have to die?"

At this, the Prince opened first one eye, then the other.

"You're alive! Oh, Zigfried!"

She hugged the Prince and cried tears of happiness.

"I love you, Odile. I knew that my love was stronger than that sword. Nothing is more powerful than a person's heart. Tell me you will marry me, and I will love you forever."

"Of course I will Zigfried. You have made my dreams come true. We were right to believe in love!"

They left the old castle together on Zigfried's horse.

When they came to the lake near the palace,they saw Ozlowe.

He was not a statue anymore.

He stood scratching his head.

All of the wizard's spells had been broken when he died.

The Prince was full of joy.

"Ozlowe!"

"Master Zigfried, I don't know what happened. I was standing here about to shoot a swan."

"That will teach you never to kill anything. This is Princess Odile. She was the swan you tried to kill."

Ozlowe was very confused.

"Prince Zigfried, I think I'd better go to bed. I don't feel very well."

When the servants and the Queen heard about Zigfried and Odile's marriage, there was a big celebration.

All the people in the land and the surrounding kingdoms were invited to the wedding.

It took place at the edge of the lake, where Zigfried had first seen Odile.

Odile wore a beautiful long wedding dress.

Zigfried's mother walked towards them.

"Zigfried, I want you to know that what you did was right. Though I asked you to stay at the palace, you left fora better reason. You should always follow your heart, especially when it is full of love. You father would be very proud of you. "

Zigfried's mother was so happy she had tears in her eyes.

The Prince took Odile's hands.

They stood together in front of the lake.

The Queen put the King's crown on Zigfried's head.

The priest spoke to the new King and Queen.

"Marriage is a wonderful thing.And what makes this marriage special is that the love you have for each other will affect everyone in this land.

Through your happiness, we will become happy.Through your love for each other, we will love each other. Is this what you want?Is your love strong enough to lead a land of people who need joy in their lives?"

Odile spoke first.

"It is."

"Of course, it is! "

"Then by the power that is given to me by God, I pronounce you husband and wife."

At that moment a joyful chirp was heard and a little bird flew from a rose bush and sat on Odile's hand.

"Patrice, my little friend! You're back!"

Then Odile turned to Zigfried and said:"You see my beloved King, love is stronger than anything in this world. When you love somebody or something you never lose them."

Zigfried looked lovingly into his bride's eyes, they kissed and everybody cheered.

第十章：婚礼

森林里天亮了，但没有鸟儿歌唱。
那座城堡只不过是一堆石头。
唯一的声音是奥迪尔在齐格弗里德的尸体上哭泣。
“哦，齐格弗里德，我唯一的真爱！”你为什么要死？”
听到这里，王子先睁开了一只眼睛，然后又睁开了另一只。
“你还活着!哦,齐格弗里德!”
她拥抱着王子，流下了幸福的眼泪。
“我爱你，奥迪尔。我知道我的爱比那把剑更强大。没有什么比一个人的心更强大。告诉我你会嫁给我，我会永远爱你。”
“我当然会去的。你让我的梦想成真。我们相信爱情是对的！”
他们一起骑着齐格弗里德的马离开了古老的城堡。
当他们来到宫殿附近的湖边时，他们看到了奥兹洛。
他不再是一座雕像了。
他站在那里挠着头。
巫师死的时候，所有的咒语都被打破了。
王子满心欢喜。
“奥兹洛!”
“齐格弗里德少爷，我不知道发生了什么事。我正站在这里准备射一只天鹅。”
“这将教会你永远不要杀死任何东西。这是奥迪尔公主。她就是你想杀死的那只天鹅。”
奥兹洛非常困惑。
“齐格弗里德王子，我想我最好去睡觉了。我觉得不太舒服。”
当仆人和王后听说齐格弗里德和奥迪尔结婚的消息时，举行了一场盛大的庆祝活动。
所有的人都被邀请来参加婚礼。
事情发生在湖边，就是齐格弗里德第一次见到奥迪尔的地方。
奥迪尔穿着一件漂亮的长长的结婚礼服。
齐格弗里德的妈妈朝他们走来。
“齐格弗里德，我想让你知道你做的是对的。虽然我让你留在宫里，但你有更好的理由离开了。你应该永远跟随自己的心，尤其是当它充满爱的时候。你父亲会为你感到骄傲的。”
齐格弗里德的妈妈高兴得热泪盈眶。
王子握住奥迪尔的手。
他们一起站在湖边。
王后把国王的王冠戴在了齐格弗里德的头上。
牧师对新国王和王后讲话。
“婚姻是一件美妙的事情。这段婚姻的特别之处在于你们对彼此的爱将影响这片土地上的每一个人。
通过你的幸福，我们也会变得幸福。通过你对彼此的爱，我们会彼此相爱。这是你想要的吗？你的爱是否强大到足以引领这片需要快乐生活的土地？”
奥迪尔先说话了。
“这是。”
“当然了！”
“那么，以上帝赋予我的权力，我宣布你们结为夫妻。”
就在这时，听到一阵欢快的啁啾声，一只小鸟从玫瑰花丛中飞出来，落在奥迪尔的手上。
“帕特里斯，我的小朋友！你回来了!”
然后奥迪尔转向齐格弗里德说：“你看，我亲爱的国王，爱比世界上任何东西都强大。当你爱某人或某物时，你永远不会失去他们。”
齐格弗里德深情地望着新娘的眼睛，他们亲吻了一下，大家都欢呼起来。
