On the day of the coronation, the entire Imperial Palace was lit up from dawn.
Rosena woke up earlier than usual, greeted Yerhan in the morning, and took a bath at dawn.
The bathtub, which was made by a cut of amethyst, filled with glacial water from the northern mountains, and rose petals with dawn dew floated.
Rosena finished her bath with the help of three maids. After that, very finely chopped pearls and gold, which had been airlifted from the Achalera Islands, were applied to the body.
Looking at her fair skin, she wondered if she was being too extravagant for the day. But because even this was one of the coronation procedures, so Rosena just waited.
After melting all the powder on the skin with flower scented oil, Rosena sat in front of the dressing table. Then Ella, who became the maid of honor, and five other maids immediately clung to Rosena.
They worked hard to make Rosena the prettiest woman in the empire.
The maids, who had been working on the makeup for a long time, smoothed Rosena’s hair. The hair on both sides was folded up, and the remaining hair was naturally stretched.
By the time they had finished arranging some decorations, all kinds of accessories were displayed in front of her.
Rosena did not hesitate to choose the necklace and earrings with red jewels. It was a gift from Yerhan and Illian before.
When the necklace was placed around her neck, Rosena smiled, pleased.
It made her smile when she thought of the two of them choosing a necklace for her.
Rosena, wearing the necklace and earrings, rose from her seat.
Rosena opened her arms to put on a dress. The dress with layers of wrinkles came down like a wave. The white, gold thread embroidered dress was much more colorful than usual.
At last, Ella put a cape around Rosena’s shoulder. The dark red cape was unseasonably thick but dignified.
By the time all the preparations were finished, the sun was high in the sky.
“Your Highness, the Marchioness Lionel is here.”
“Really? Please guide her inside.”
Rosena rejoiced at the maid’s words.
Before long, Ibella stepped inside.
Ibella, who saw Rosena, stood tall. She stared at Rosena as if she was possessed.
“Ibella?”
When Rosena affectionately called her name, Ibella moved.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness… You’re so beautiful today.”
“Thank you.”
Rosena smiled brightly.
After seeing it, Ibella became stiff again and blushed.
After hearing compliments from Ibella for a long time, Rosena realized it was time to go.
“See you later.”
Rosena waved lightly and left the room. The dress and cape were so long that two maids were needed to hold up Rosena’s clothes.
Exiting the building, Rosena climbed into a golden carriage decorated with jewels and flowers and looked at herself through the window.
She was perfectly decorated neck-down, but there was nothing above her head.
Normally, she would wear accessories in her hair, but today was an exception. Because it was where the crown would be placed.
Rosena gently pressed her chest because she felt her heart was about to pop out.
Today, Rosena will be the empress.
Even if she was only the temporary empress, Rosena’s name would be included in the history book and everyone would pay attention.
It was a lie if she wasn’t nervous.
It was also true that it was burdensome. But she wasn’t afraid because her precious family was with her.
The carriage slowly ran in the Imperial Palace.
Two white pillars rising above the sky came into view, and the white marble building got closer and closer.
The center of the circular building was pierced, and the sunlight was pouring out.
It was the place where previous emperors held their coronations and where Rosena would receive the crown today.
Today, only those who had their identities guaranteed were allowed in the coronation ceremony.
Only those who were thoroughly inspected at the entrance were allowed in, but there was no restriction on their status.
The front of the building was full of people who came to see the coronation from dawn.
Finally, the carriage carrying Rosena stopped. The carriage door opened and a navy carpet embroidered with gold thread was laid down to the inside of the building.
“Your Majesty, Empress!!”
“Hooray, Empress!”
Rosena was dumbfounded by the shouts that shook the heavens and the earth. But soon she came to her senses and clenched her fist.
As she entered the building, she saw a large, ornate interior.
The white marble floor was covered with red rugs with gold embroidery.
It was confusing whether this place was a flower garden or the inside of a building because harmonious flowers decorated everywhere.
There was a grand staircase in the center of the building. The ceiling was pierced at the end of the round embellishment, so the sunlight soaked the stairs.
Stopping at the entrance, Rosena looked around lightly.
On both sides were the imperial nobles and the invited foreign envoys. Countless people were seen, but there were a few who stole Rosena’s eyes.
Illian, standing with the knights of Tiriad, was the first to catch her eyes. And then, at the next sight, Ibella and her husband stood.
Rosena slowly turned her eyes away. There was the Marquis of Hellis couple from Astania.
Rosena replaced the greeting by a slow blink of the eyes with those whom she met.
Finally, Rosena walked forward one step at a time.
Everyone watched Rosena, swallowing their breath.
Rosena, who was walking along the carpet sprinkled with flowers, stopped. Facing a huge white marble staircase for a moment, Rosena slowly looked up.
On the stairs stood a man in a black robe and a red cape.
Rosena bit the inside of her mouth slightly. Even looking at his back, her heart felt like it was going to burst.
He slowly turned around in the silence. The appearance of the past overlapped with the fluttering red cape.
It was different from when he turned around to leave for exile.
When their eyes met, Yerhan’s blue eyes filled with the sight of Rosena. Rosena smiled widely at Yerhan.
When Rosena appeared, the coronation began.
At this coronation, it was the high priest who crowned Yerhan.
The high priest and young apprentice priests stood together on the altar located at the end of the stairs.
Yerhan gave Rosena a brief wink and then turned away.
It was so quiet that she could hear the sound of his long cape sweeping down the stairs vividly.
Finally, Yerhan, who climbed up the stairs, stopped under the altar.
When Yerhan knelt down on one knee, the High Priest, who saw his clear blue eyes, straightened his back and declared
“May infinite splendor and light be present to those who are descendants of divinity and wear the crown of Herbet. May the flame of eternity never go out.”
A low voice filled the coronation hall.
When Yerhan extended his arms, the high priest laid out a velvety red cloth on his arms.
Then the apprentice standing next to him laid down a sword with about a hundred diamonds on it on the velvet cloth.
“The sword that forms the power of divinity.”
When Yerhan took the sword, an apprentice with roses stepped forward.
“A rose symbolizing divinity.”
Lastly, the crown, with flashing gold, was placed on Yerhan’s head.
“The crown that will support the glory of divinity.”
As soon as the crown was placed on his head, a shout resounded in the hall, where no breath could be heard.
“Waaaahhh!”
The sound that began from the inside spread to the outside and shook the heavens and earth.
Yerhan, who was listening to the cheers, cast his eyes around.
When he made eye contact with Rosena, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, Yerhan, who put the velvet cloth down, reached a hand out.
Then Rosena climbed the stairs one step at a time. The long dress fluttered over the stairs.
The fluttering white lace and red cape was like a picture. Everyone gazed at it, and Rosena finally stopped in front of Yerhan.
The two looked into each other’s eyes for a moment. Their gazes were deeply entangled as if time had stopped.
Both eyes were filled with trust and faith.
Rosena slowly bent her knees and lowered her head.
Yerhan picked up the crown of the empress.
Finally, a glittering crown was placed on Rosena’s head.
At the same time, thunderous shouts poured from all sides.
***
After the coronation ceremony, Rosena, Yerhan and Illian boarded the carriage.
Now there was a coronation ceremony to mark the enthronement around the capital.
The carriage, decorated with jewels and flowers, had a structure that could be seen everywhere because of its perforated ceiling.
The uniformed knights of Tiriad escorted the carriage, and the imperial knights followed in line behind the carriage.
The carriage ran slowly out of the Imperial Palace and along the boulevard.
Numerous imperial people cheered and sprinkled flowers on each street the carriage passed.
Some of them were crying and waving flags symbolizing the empire.
Rosena lifted her head and feared that the crown would fall off. However, she could not get used to it, so she eventually gave up and repeatedly fixed the crown whenever it fell off.
Sitting between Rosena and Yerhan, Illian peeked out of the carriage and looked at the people.
“Your Majesty the Emperor! Your Majesty the Empress!”
Rosena waved eagerly at the cry.
For two months, the empress was educated to protect her dignity and grace, but when it happened, she forgot everything.
With applause, sparkling paper powder filled everywhere.
There was a white flower road where the carriage passed, making it look as if it was crossing the clouds.
The cheering went on for a long time, and the sunny sky began to darken little by little.
People looked up as if dark clouds were gathering.
“Look!”
With a person’s shout, everyone looked up at the sky in unison.
It was a swarm of Lagonia like a cloud, known as an auspicious sign.
It appeared during the founding festival and became a hot topic, and now, it also appeared at this coronation ceremony.
Light began to pour into the dark sky. The Lagonia, who flew in a group, surrounded the carriage.
The Lagonia, who bit the branches of abundant flowers, brushed through the crowd. As the Lagonia flapped their wings, it began to rain everywhere.
People reached out in exclamations.
It was amazing to see the auspicious Lagonia, much less it was a great honor to see Lagonia raining flowers.
While everyone was busy, Yerhan and Illian looked at Rosena at the same time.
Rosena shrugged her shoulders, which caught both eyes.
“I used my power.”
“Mom, you’re great.”
“You’re great.”
Yerhan and Illian praised her with sparkling eyes at the same time. The father and son looked alike, so Rosena burst into laughter.
***
A deep night had come after all the coronation events.
When the clear full moon without the ring hung on the branches of the tree, the lights on the Imperial Palace went out one by one.
The only room in the palace that didn’t turn off was the bedroom where Rosena and Yerhan stayed.
Rosena sat on the bed, barely naked.
“Ahh. I’m tired. I’m going to die after one more coronation.”
She was lying still, looking at the ceiling, and Yerhan, who went in to wash up first, came out of the bathroom and asked.
“Rosena, would you like to wash up with me?”
“….I don’t have the strength to wash up.”
Rosena shook her head, and Yerhan walked toward the bed.
With his arms outstretched, he gave Rosena a big hug. He must also be tired from suffering all day, but his arms didn’t shake a single bit.
When Rosena opened her eyes round, Yerhan smiled. It was as if saying that she should leave it all to him.
Yerhan put Rosena down on the bathtub and untied the ribbon strap on her chest.
The movements of peeling off clothes one by one was unusual.
All the clothes fell to the floor, and Rosena slid into the bathtub. When she soaked herself in warm water, the fatigue of the day seemed to be washed away.
Rosena closed her eyes with her head down, and Yerhan loosened powder into the bathtub to make a lot of foam. Then sweep Rosena’s neck and shoulders with white foam.
Every time his long and pretty fingers passed by, her body trembled, but she was so tired that she stayed still.
Yerhan, who washed Rosena’s body with clean hands, belatedly went into the bathtub.
Rosena, who was nervous for nothing, blushed.
Honestly, when he said they should wash up together, did she think he was going to do dirty things?
She was ashamed to doubt that.
Sitting still in the warm water, she felt drowsy.
A short time later, when Rosena began to nod off, Yerhan slowly rose to his feet. Then he lifted Rosena’s body again.
Waking up late, Rosena opened her eyes.
Yerhan washed Rosena with clean water and wrapped her body in a large towel.
Rosena, who was safely transported to bed as it was, blinked.
She was just dozing off for a while, but her body was already dried.
Yerhan sat next to her and gently brushed her hair.
Rosena, who was touched by him, hurriedly picked up the towel.
“Turn around.”
Yerhan turned his back silently, and Rosena brushed his hair gently.
Drops of water flowed down the stretch of his neckline.
Rosena, who had wiped all the water off, mumbled as she put the towel down.
“I still can’t believe it.”
It was like a dream that they had their coronation today.
The cheers, which could have made her deaf, kept ringing in her mind.
“It’s just the beginning, but I feel like I’ve just finished everything that needs to be done.”
Yerhan, who was listening to Rosena, quietly opened his mouth.
“….In fact, there’s still the most important thing that remains.”
What did he mean the most important thing?
When Rosena blinked, he fiddled with a wet towel.
Rosena also became serious because she wondered what it was to be so serious.
Finally, as if Yerhan had made up his mind, he looked straight at Rosena and opened his mouth.
“Wouldn’t you destroy the condition we talked about before…?”
Rosena tilted her head.
“…Condition?”
Then Yerhan replied with a face that he didn’t want to put it in his mouth.
“I mean the condition under which we’ll get a divorce when Illian grows up?”
Rosena then realized what Yerhan was saying.
When reunited with Yerhan in the past, Rosena offered conditions instead of marriage.
-When the kid grows up, we should get divorced.
-We are not getting married because we like each other.
-I don’t love you.
Rosena bit her lips. At that time, Rosena was so selfish towards Yerhan as she valued only her feelings.
She thought Yerhan would not have a heart for her like her. But Yerhan spent seven years throwing everything away to find Rosena.
How sad it must have been to be offered such a condition as soon as they met for the first time.
Rosena, with her head down, murmured quietly.
“I didn’t know… you were still bothered about it.”
She thought it would naturally have been a thing that didn’t exist and easily forgotten.
However, Yerhan seemed to have those words in mind until now.
“….I’m so sorry.”
When Rosena felt terribly sorry, Yerhan reached out. He touched Rosena’s fingertips and gently pressed and removed his lips.
“Rosena, please convince me.”
Their hearts were already connected, but he wanted to hear it directly.
Rosena, staring at Yerhan, slowly opened her lips. Unlike then, the red eyes that no longer shook contained Yerhan.
“Let’s pretend, that condition never exists.”
Rosena pulled Yerhan’s wrist. Rosena, wrapping his big hand with her own, whispered.
“And may I put forward a new condition?”
Yerhan was seen to be on high alert. Yerhan slowly swallowed his saliva and nodded.
Rosena smiled at Yerhan.
“The new condition… is to allow me to stay with you forever.”
Yerhan opened his eyes wide at the unexpected words. Then slowly, a bright flower bloomed on his face.
Yerhan, who smiled brightly like the sunshine of spring, immediately hugged Rosena.
“Of course.”
The two bodies fit tightly. The sound of a low laugh rang on her chest.
Looking at each other, Yerhan and Rosena looked for each other’s lips. As their gentle breaths washed across, Rosena closed her eyes.
It was the beginning of a new condition.
