CHAPTER 六 SIXKing Grisha's death shook the country to its core. No one expected the king of Marley to catch the sweat and pass away, especially so soon after his birthday and the return of his favorite son.
For an entire month after the funeral, the entire royal family, including Eren Yeager and his mother, wore black clothing to represent their mourning period.
The morning after the thirty days had passed the family instantly slipped into color once again, the time to mourn was over, now it was time to celebrate.
Zeke and [Name] we're going to be coronated.
The princess didn't sleep the entire night before and vomited the morning of.

The princess looked at her reflection in the mirror and couldn't help but think she looked out of place in the red and golden dress. It looked too grand on her, almost as if it were made for somebody else and she was an imposter that managed to fool everyone and slip inside the lavish gown.
Too bad she wasn't an imposter, she was simply her.
The Princess of Paradis, she paused and took a deep breath, the soon-to-be Queen of Marley.
Once she stepped out into the Great Hall, she laid eyes on Zeke first, and despite his young age, he looked every bit the king he was.
The fabric of his vest was made of the same fabric as her gown, but that's where the similarities in their garments stopped. His own vest was lined with gold, he wore a red silk robe, trimmed with brown fur, and he wore layers upon layers of livery collars.
She swallowed the lump growing in her throat, when when Zeke's blue eyes met her own.
He bowed, before extending his hand out.
