“Miss, you look so beautiful today too!”
As expected, it was Belle who was making a fuss next to Elena.
Elena smiled brightly, pulling up her red lips.
Her light blonde hair was gorgeously decorated with fresh flowers, and her pale, healthy complexion was lively.
The green dress with silver embroidery had an elegant silhouette that exposed the shoulders, with abundant lace falling just below the chest area.
The layered hem of the skirt gave off a light yet mysterious glow, further highlighting Elena’s elegant yet lively features.
“Am I okay?”
“A little? You’re really good! You’re a complete beauty! You’re truly the best! I’m sure His Majesty will fall in love with you once more when he sees it!”
“Thank you, Bell. After all, you are the only one who does something for me.”
“Ayu, if my Majesty hears such a story, a thunderbolt will fall on me.”
Belle’s expression looked quite good as she waved her hand gently while saying that.
“And today you are the star.”
“I’m the main character. Klaus is the main character.”
Elena waved her hand.
Coronation Day. It is a day to commemorate Klaus becoming emperor.
“Ah. The young lady also becomes the empress. Well, the two of them are the main characters together. Her Majesty is the male protagonist, and the young lady is the female protagonist.”
Saying that, Belle smiled brightly.
The story was that in addition to Klaus’s investiture ceremony as emperor, Elena’s investiture ceremony as empress would also be held.
It was something that really touched my heart.
okay. The male protagonist, Klaus, and the female protagonist, Elena.
When I thought about becoming the main character, there were a lot of ups and downs and events, but when I gave up my intention to become the main character, it was amazing that I actually became the main character.
When I first entered this world, I never thought I would become an empress.
‘is not it. ‘Have you thought about it?’
Elena, remembering the many imaginations she had in the past, chuckled.
“That’s right. I was the main character.”
“Of course. The young lady is the star today, so she must be more beautiful than anyone else.”
“Thank you, Belle. Thanks to you, I can look like a complete hero.”
“Of course. I put a lot of effort into it.”
Belle, with a proud expression on her face, took a couple of steps away from Elena.
“I saw you earlier, but your Majesty is very nervous right now.”
“Really? How can someone not be nervous?”
“What can I do? It’s because you are standing at the coronation ceremony with the young lady!”
“Just with that?”
Belle responded seriously to Elena’s words.
“He is the one who even told the young lady that he will not become the emperor just because another gnome confessed to him. Where is the gnome?”
“Ah, indeed.”
When I thought about it, it was like that.
Elena laughed again as she remembered herself persuading Klaus with the heart of a loyal subject admonishing the king.
“As soon as I became emperor, I was scolded to stop him from jumping around and saying that he would forbid a legally married person to have a lover.”
“Because the nobles’ opposition will not be easy.”
“I’m sure neither I nor Klaus will see each other anyway.”
“that’s right.”
Elena could no longer think of anyone other than Klaus, and the same was true for Klaus.
Since they only needed each other, there was no reason to need anyone else.
Of course, there is anxiety that Klaus will impose personal sanctions… … .
“And I actually like to see His Highness Klaus jealous because of me.”
“Hoho. Isn’t that the fun part?”
“As expected, Bell. You understand my feelings well, right?”
“I’ve been by your side for several years. If you pretend, you pretend.”
Belle nodded.
It was lovely to see a man who always observed everything with a cool head, but lost his composure and became anxious when it came to things related to himself.
I thought it was a bit mischievous, but I overlooked it because Klaus was also mischievous to me sometimes.
As Elena smiled thinking of Klaus, the girl reflected in the mirror smiled with the happiest face in the world.
“Then, Bell, I’ll go quickly.”
“Cheer up, girl!”
Belle clenched her fists and her eyes sparkled.
Elena slowly stepped out of the waiting room.
“Elena.”
Her man was standing in front of the waiting room.
The cheers of countless people rang out as if it were ear-piercing.
It was clear that the people of the empire would love the two people who saved the empire from danger forever.
As he slowly walked down the colorful flower path, Klaus looked at Elena with deep eyes.
“The flowers are so beautiful.”
“I know you’re saying I’m pretty.”
“If you say that, you can’t say no.”
“no?”
Klaus briefly burst into laughter at Elena’s question.
The gentle smile on his lips made him look even more attractive.
“Isn’t it too tacky to compare it to a flower?”
“You used to be good at saying corny things.”
“That’s because I’m sophisticated no matter what I say.”
“Yes. You must be young.”
“But it’s true that you can’t be compared to a flower. You are so beautiful that you can’t even be compared to a flower.”
“……Ugh.”
Elena frowned. Klaus laughed.
“I’m really weak at words like this, both then and now.”
“It’s embarrassing.”
“I mean it.”
“Klaus’s sincerity is too light.”
“That’s right.”
It was also disgusting to see him just be so obediently positive.
Elena glared at Klaus.
Klaus winked.
“But love is as heavy.”
“You shouldn’t talk.”
“Why. Did you want to hear that you are as beautiful as a flower?”
“Not necessarily.”
As I pursed my lips while saying that, Klaus laughed lightly.
“Would you like me to cast a spell?”
“I’m going to cast some kind of spell.”
“The magic of turning into a flower.”
“no, I do not want.”
Turning into a flower in the middle of the imperial capital was something I didn’t want to do.
Klaus smiled at Elena’s expression and squeezed her hand.
“Elena. You are my flower forever.”
“…….”
“You are my flower, my life, and my future.”
“That much?”
“I always say this. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be standing here.”
Elena paused for a moment because her voice was full of sincerity.
Wearing a uniform made of red satin, a man who stands prouder than anyone else at the top of the empire confesses that he needs him.
It was quite sweet and also a heartfelt confession.
It was a declaration by a person who could not rely on anyone and had no choice but to endure alone that he would completely entrust himself to someone else.
“Don’t forget, Elena. You became emperor because you wanted to.”
“i know.”
“Anytime you want, I’m ready to give up everything.”
The strong voice was full of determination.
Confidence and belief that even the highest position in the empire can be abandoned.
Elena’s words that she would not doubt her choice sounded more desperate than any other confession.
So Elena just laughed.
“I like power and money, so be a saint, Klaus.”
If you make me happy, I will do my best to maintain that happiness.
Klaus smiled brightly at Elena’s answer.
Because of the distance, people could not hear their story, but Klaus’ bright smile was clearly visible to the people of the empire who had gathered to celebrate the new emperor’s ascension to the throne.
Wow!
Cheers erupted like wildfire. The servant, surprised by this, lit the firecracker.
Boom, boom!
The fireworks that had been prepared in advance exploded one step early and began to beautifully decorate the sky.
Rinoa got irritated and ran out to reprimand the fireworks manager, and Hamel followed behind with a keen eye.
Belle was busy shedding tears of joy, and Maewyn and Herta also put down their swords and exchanged greetings with the nobles.
The fireworks’ flames could be seen even from quite a distance from the imperial capital.
So there was no doubt that Rudiot and Lariette were watching this scene happily.
“It’s really beautiful.”
Elena said with sincerity.
This moment, this air, this scene.
Everything in this world was lovely.
The loveliest of them all was the only man by her side.
“Just look at me, Elena.”
“Oh my. Can’t I even say that the scenery is nice?”
“My face will look best.”
A man who can’t even tolerate loving the world, and whose entire attention is focused on me.
Elena burst out laughing at Klaus’ jealous joke.
How did it get this far?
Before I knew it, I was married to someone I thought I couldn’t get along with, and we were planning a distant future.
Fate is sometimes so confusing and unpredictable, but that makes it more beautiful and interesting.
“great.”
I didn’t know where this wave of fate would flow in the future.
But as long as I was with the person by my side right now, it was okay no matter where it went.
“Shall we go, Klaus?”
“okay.”
The two lovers took a step into the future.
The new history of the empire left its mark.
