Grandpa touched the pendant on my neck and asked, "What material is this?"

"Normal! Just for fashion!"

"I see. Take it off, please"

I took it off.

I can't talk with Lily without speaking.

Only if she can understand what I am thinking.

And I can't wake her up anyways.

There is no way I can say 'I love you, Lily' in front of grandpa.

I clutched the pendant in my fist and changed its shape to a ring around my finger.

"Bow a little more, please"

I bowed, and he fastened his pendant around my neck.

"How is it?" he asked.

I put it under my clothes and said, "It's good"

"Don't put it in. You have to show it to everyone"

I took it out.

"Yeah. Now it looks good" he said, patting my shoulders.

"Thanks"

"I wasn't a righteous king. I couldn't become a wonderful king. Nor I wanted to. What about you? What type of king do you want to be?"

"I want--"

"Pardon me, my King. But your sister is here, and she wants to greet you" a maid bowed down and said.

"Which one?" he asked.

"The youngest one"

"Alright. I am going to my room. Ask her to come there"

"As you wish, my King"

He patted my shoulders and said, "Good luck, King Das"

"Yeah"

"Layla always talked about this moment. She wanted to see you wear the crown, wanted to...see you on the throne" 

"I am sure she is watching us right now"

"She is! I can feel it. Maybe she is here to pick me up?"

"Please don't say stuff like that"

"Haha. You are being worried about an old man"

He walked off after saying that.

"Though I think King Arthur sounds better" Grandpa commented as he went into his room.

My grandpa has three sisters. One is older than him, and two are younger.

The oldest one passed away recently.

I have never met any of them in my life. 

The priority of the throne goes to the male heir first, doesn't matter if he is youngest or oldest.

If there is no male heir, then it goes to the eldest female heir.

Like grandpa has three sisters, now two. He was the second child, and the only male. So he got the throne. 

And Grandpa has two daughters, no sons. So mom, as she was the oldest daughter, got the throne.

If I hadn't been born, then the throne would have probably of Lier. Or the male heir from the family of the oldest sister of my grandpa. 

Lirole is pregnant too. If she gives birth to a male, then he would have been king.

Well, the throne is mine now, so I have no need to think of the possibilities.

As I walked in the hallway with Daulla, on my way to the throne room. It gave me different vibes.

I walked through the same hallway every day, but it feels different today.

All these paintings of my ancestors gave me creepy vibes every day when I walked through hallways. But today, it feels like they are seeing me off.

Like they are wishing me well and telling me to try my best. It's sad that they are going to be disappointed because I don't plan to become what they want me to be.

I will be the selfish king. A cruel, ruthless king who only thinks for himself and his loved one.

Maybe it was just my imagination, but I liked that feeling. And I was pretty sure I would never feel the same again.

"Do you like the carpets? They are new"

"Oh!" 

Nevermind. They were new.

"Are you feeling comfortable?"

"Yes"

"The sword is okay?"

"It's perfect" 

"No need to be nervous"

"I am not nervous"

"You just have to stand in front of the throne, and one person will crown you"

"I know"

"They you have to oath"

"I am not oathing"

"You have to"

"I am not oathing"

"Then you have to walk in the main balcony and distribute some fortunes"

"I know"

"I am just saying this so you don't screw up"

"I know"

She looks more nervous than me.

"And the security is level 4 today. And it will be level 5 at the royal garden tonight"

"Hmm"

"But be careful. Many strangers will come to see you right now. And they can slip in because of the heavy public"

"Yeah"

She held my hand and said, "Don't worry. I will be there with you"

"Yeah"

"I will never let anything happen to you"

"I know"

We walked to the throne room.

Of course, the door was already open and the security team and a special 30 man team were sent by the government.

The throne room was never lively, at least I have never seen it. It was mostly locked. 

And the last time I came here, I had that weird vision.

I just hope nothing happens this time.

Lily is also sleeping. And I don't want to disturb her.

As I walked on the carpet which led to the throne, the people present there bowed down.

I walked up to the pedestal and stood in front of them.

"Attention! You are now in the presence of the one and only male heir of the Edens family, Das Edens" Daulla announced.

Only the 30 men sent by the government, security team, and some maids were present in the room.

"Today, and as of this day! Das Edens, the crown prince, has been declared as the king!"

"In the presence of the people present here, Das Edens shall be crowned!" 

Daulla picked up the crown from the throne and stood in front of me.

Daulla raised the crown with both of her hands and put it on my head.

"Congratulations, my King" Daulla said as she walked down the pedestal.

The crown feels weird.

As I tried to walk down--

"Ahem!" 

--Daulla 'Ahem!' me.

She wants me to take the oath?

I am not taking it.

Daulla shot me a glare.

Look at her, threatening a king.

Sigh~

"My...my name is Das Edens! And...I am your king now!"

I walked down and stood beside Daulla.

"What was that?" Daulla whispered.

"It was my grand speech, did you like it?"

After taking notes and recording, one of the 30 men walked to me and said, "Good..." he looked at his watch and continued, "Good evening, my King"

Huh?

His eyes are...
