– There's nothing wrong with that-you're supposed to be nervous before such an important event," I tried to reassure him, but he only quickened his steps.

– How do I calm down? – he asked, and then he put his hands over his face and mumbled: – Damn, this is awful! It's just awful! I need to calm down!

– Just think about the fact that in an hour Mariszka will be your wife forever, – I encouraged him.

– That thought makes me even more anxious! – Markus answered me fervently.

– Well, all my attempts to calm you down have obviously failed. – I shrugged helplessly.

– I don't need to be calmed down! – My brother stopped abruptly, went to the window, and looked down at the square.

As I stood next to Markus, I could see the many guests already seated in their cars for the wedding at St Peter and St Paul's Cathedral.

– Luckily, it's raining today," I smiled, pleased with the dark clouds and the light drizzle outside the window. – Everything will go splendidly, I have no doubt about that.

– Just as long as the sun doesn't come out. Then it will be ruined! – Markus replied in a concerned tone.

– There won't be any sun: it's supposed to drizzle and rain all week," I said firmly, and patted my brother on the shoulder.

– I hoped so. Are you all right? – suddenly asked my brother, not looking at me, but watching the guests leave.

– I'm fine. – I glanced at my wristwatch: it was time to leave for the cathedral. – It's time," I said quietly to Markus.

He nodded silently.

We left the castle and got into my car, which took us to Vysehrad, to the magnificent Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul.
