NARRATOR'S POV
Selene was at Garnet Palace, residing in her chambers. She let out a sigh when her cheeks grew red from a thought
"Today is going to be Claude's coronation...I can't let it go wrong" She muttered quietly. A knock was heard from outside, letting a 'come in, the person who knocked, walked in
"The carriage is ready Your Highness" It was Rose. She bowed in respect and carefully escorted the empress into the carriage
As the carriage started moving, Selene leaned on the side and her thoughts get deeper 'What am I supposed to do? In a few weeks, I'm going to get married to Claude and soon...we're going to need an heir. I just hope nothing goes wrong today'
A few minutes later, she was at their destination. The carriage door opened and she was greeted by the sight of hundreds of nobles some from different countries ready to see the new Emperor of Obelia get crowned. She made her way inside, following the red carpet. The guests who saw her quickly bowed and greeted her
"Greetings, Your Highness!" "Your Highness! It's been a while!" "Your Highness, you have grown even more beautiful than I last saw you!" Many of the nobles who either supported her or were just in awe at her, filled her with non-stop sweet sugar-coated compliments. Selene who heard them smiled warmly at the nobles and continue to walk toward the end of the chapel, where corporations were usually held
Let the ceremony begin...

In a chapel, the doors opened, revealing the new Emperor, Claude De Alger Obelia. His formal attire with his red cape falling behind him and gold linings at the very edge of his dashing dark blue attire
All the nobles focused on the man and stared in awe as he walked down the carpet with elegance and a confident aura was felt around him. Stopping when he was in front of the Archbishop as he began to recite the ceremonial words

"Is your Majesty willing to take the oath?"
"I am willing"
"Will, you solemnly promise and swear to govern the people of Obelia and your Possessions and the other Territories to any of them belonging or pertaining, according to their respective laws and customs?"
