Excuse me, your highness

The grand hall.

All preparation has been done accordingly.

Nobles of every faction of Fehrin assembled for this big day of a change of ruler in their country.

The diplomatic ties from other countries with Fehrin also convene as a sole purpose of the close relationship they have with the previous and current monarch who will ascend the throne.

The crown was passed down from the pope to Crown Prince Zavier smoothly. The knights and soldiers stationed from left and right, showing the military power of Fehrin.

The Crown Princess is crowned by her husband, the new emperor as the next empress who would rule alongside him.

The recitation, the ceremony, and the crowning took almost a few hours. The coronation was completed in a peaceful manner, showcasing the absolute control and acceptance of Zavier Aelister as the new monarch of Fehrin.

Hours gone by. The post-coronation banquet was held in the same hall.

The banquet was attended by various nobles, various political leaders, and various royals of other countries. The hierarchy of the ruler may have changed, but with one look, the others attending could see the dynamic of Fehrin's royal family.

With Zavier and Maya as the newly crowned emperor and empress who sat on the higher stage of the throne. Both the previous rulers, the previous emperor and empress, Danzel and Erica, could be seen. The Emperor Emeritus and Empress Emerita were positioned accordingly beside Zavier and Maya.

Lastly, Princess Cecilica, Prince Zain, and Princess Camellia were situated below. The attendance of all royal members is proof of the strong connection of the royal family. It is proof that there is no rivalry and no royal drama that would happen.

Besides, the leaders and nobles were already aware of the strength of the bond between the siblings. No power struggles could be seen among Aelister's siblings.

Never did and never will.

There may be an attempt from the nobles to create a rift, however, they couldn't break the bond that has been moulded between the siblings.

"Oppa, can I go now?"

"No. You can't leave me here alone, got it?"

The blond princess sighed, surpassing the urge to slap her brother's hand around her wrist that was preventing her from fleeing away from the banquet.

"My moon is not here yet, if not, I'll shove you away."

Camellia rolled her eyes. "Dramatic much?"

Zain just side-eyed his sister. If his lover were here, he would have gone away to his room with her. Unfortunately, his lover is the head of the royal alchemist. There is an unexpected problem that occurred so she will be coming late.

Since his lover is not here, he has been using Camellia as a shield from any noble ladies from coming near him. Camellia is useful only at this moment.

"Let go of me, oppa." Camellia stepped on Zain's shoe.

"Lia, don't make me ruin your hair." He shoved his sister a bit. Her heel digs into his shoe! It hurts, okay!

"And we promised to be good for Zavier hyung."

Making sure Camellia remembered about it, Zain narrowed his eyes at Camellia. His sister pouted and huffed, finally shutting up after complaining nonstop.

"Fine. At least with you here, no one will ask me for a dance."
Camellia was slighttttttly grateful for Zain's presence. Only slighttttly.

"Heh, now you wanna thank me?"
