tw: mentions of sexual assualt at the end of the chapter

Per Natalia's request, the others did not mention anything to their parents and kept the situation to themselves. That doesn't mean they didn't conduct an investigation on their own.

Time flew by in a blue and the day of their coronation and her mother's birthday has arrived.

Dress in the finest of clothing and the most elegant of jewelries. On her head, laid a tiara that was passed down for ages. She stood like a bright diamond in the middle of a dull room.

They have decided not to crown her seeing as she will be coronated as the queen sooner or later on. It would be confusing and it was impractical.

"Her royal highness, Princess Natalia Rye Astorne."

With elegant and proper steps, she began to walj forward on the red carpet. Her white dress slightly grazing over the carpet, bringing some petals with her.

Her poise and posture perfect, just as she was trained to do so. In every step she takes, she seemed as if she was floating. The candle lights did not flicker even if she moved forward.

She held her head high, on top of it adorned a beautiful tiara. It was filled several diamonds and crystals. It was heavy and overwhelming, the same emotions Natalia felt ever since she was born.

On top of her hand was a red pillow where two crowns for her brothers lay. One, slightly bigger than the other.

Everyone was present. Duch, duchess, prince, princesses, knights, and many more. It was one of the biggest moments of the Kingdom of Zemira.

They watched as their beloved princess arrived where the queen and king awaits her arrival. She curstsied, standing in front of them.

The three alone radiated such authority. Queen Yoona wore her royal garment and crown on top of her head. King Junho did the same. They both waited and watched for the two prince to arrive.

Perhaps, the others forgot who Natalia is for a moment. They have gotten used to her carefree and fun manner. It seems as if they forgot what kind of princess she is. And right now, she is reminding them of who she is.

No matter who she marry, how careless she acts, or how she parties. At the end of the day, she is still the princess.

The one and only princess of Zemira.

They turned around as Kalix appeared.

"His royal highness, Prince Kalix Astorne."

Kalix looked more like their mother. He made big and confident strided as he approached them. He wore a white royal garment, tailored and made just for him.

He let out a shaky breath as the crown was placed. The responsibilites and duties he ran away as a kid were now coming back to him, crashing like the flood. None the less, he held his head high, waiting for his older brother.

"His majesty the king, King Kairo Astorne."

Kairo looked very similar to their father. From their intimidating aura to the way he walks. He approached them with ease. He closed his eyes as he felt the weight of the crown.

Kairo, the hidden heir. He was trained to be king. While Natalia was exposed to the public, Kairo was given a chance to train properly without the pressure of the public.

The royal family stood up high, facing their kingdom. All of them were standing except for Natalia who sat down on a white elegant chair. Her brothers on her each of her side and her parents on her back.
