"The preparations has been set, your highness." Louie said as he bowed down his head.
"Good, then nothing can stop my coronation. Whether they like it or not, I will be the Queen, as well as the King." Lucifiene said as she was standing in a terrace looking in front of the overlooking view of her main city.
"Is there nothing I can do to change your mind, your highness?" Lucifiene's brow arched after she heared what Louie said.
"Are you going to oppose me, Louie?"
"No, your highness. It's just thatㅡ"
"Do you have doubts, Louie?" Louie fell silent for a second but then he responded, "Of course, none. Your highness."
Lucifiene turned around and looked at Louie in a serious manner.
"Are you still a friend, Louie?" Upon hearing that, Louie showed her a glimpse of his smile. "Indeed, your highness." She turned again and continued looking at the main city.
"I want you to be there, Louie. On the day that I'll sit upon the throne. The day that I will be crowned. The day when I'll be the Queen, and not just a simple Princess anymore."
"Very well, your highness."
Lucifiene stood there for a little longer. As she was thinking about the throne or the castle or the people, there is nothing that she can do when Alaron comes to her mind.
Where is he?
She thought.

Isang buwan na ang nakakalipas at hindi parin nagigising ang ina ni Lucifiene. Nangangamba na ang lahat lalong lalo na ang personal Royal Court Physician. Ngunit si Lucifiene, ay hindi parin nagpapakita ng anumang emosyon sa kaniyang mukha na siya namang napansin ng mga tao sa loob ng kaniyang palasyo. Malimit niya namang bisitahin ang ina, ngunit saglit lamang. Titingnan niya ang mahimbing na natutulog na si Lucille, at aalis din. Wala namang masyadong pagbabago sa loob ng palasyo at sakaniyang nasasakupan. Ang pinagkaiba nga lang, Lucifiene was the one who is now executing the orders. Naninibago pa ang ministro ngunit wala naman silang magagawa, dahil alam nila at ayaw nilang kalabanin ang Prinsesa.
Ngunit isang araw ay nagkaroon ng isang malubhang sakit si Louie. Na labis ikinalungkot ng Prinsesa. Dahil dito, mas lalong naramdaman ng Prinsesa ang pag-iisa. She already felt lonely for the past years but it became worse when Louie fell ill.
The Court Ladies led together with the other servants took Lucifiene to Louie's chambers. She came to see him, only to find out that he can't even open his eyes due to his sickness. He doesn't have that much energy to move an inch, and he had a hard time breathing, sweating heavily.
"Guess you can't make it to my coronation, Louie." Tiningnan ng mataman ni Lucifiene si Louie. At bago makasagot si Louie ay naubo muna ito, at sinubukang bigyan ng ngiti ang Prinsesa.
"Louie,"
"It's not your fault, Lucifiene." Wika ni Louie at muli na namang naubo.
"You just had to take the consequence, but it is not your fault ㅡ to have such.. tremendous power." Pagkatapos marinig ni Lucifiene ang mga sinabi ni Louie ay nag-uunahang pumatak ang kaniyang mga luha.
