All around the council hall was chaos as the Angels who had come from the hospital wing poured in, spilling in through the doors, crowding against the walls. The grand councilor of the Capital and his fellow councilors were seated on their respective seats. The commanders of the five Angels were also seated in a particular part of the hall.

The hall became pin drop silent when the two huge doors of the hall opened, everyone stood from their seats and the high Priest of Angelic walked into the hall through the opened door, followed by Ever Angel. She was dressed in a long red dress with golden design on its fabric. Her grey inked long hair was knotted into a fashionable bun. Her eyes were sharpened with the bluish black eye liner applied to beauty her eyes, her lips were painted with fiery red lipstick.

No one dared to speak a word and break the silence. Everyone was staring at the beautiful Ever who will now be the queen of Angelic. The priest went on to the dais. Ever stopped by her sister. Elizabeth's eyes were watering; she hugged Ever and whispered into her ears. "I'm so proud of you sister. I wish mum was here."

Ever loosed the hug, kissed Eli's cheek and walked toward the dais. At the steps of the dais was Julian Roosevelt. He was dressed like a prince. Ever smiled, noticing how handsome he was. He must have borrowed those clothes from Cedric because Julian wasn't a type of person who gets dressed into fashionable, body tight, colorful clothes.

He raised his right hand, his left hand placed on his back. Ever placed her hand on his hand. Julian kissed her hand and walked Ever toward the dais.

"You are beautiful," he whispered.

She smiled lightly. "Thank you."

Ever sat on the dais and Julian walked down from the dais. Everyone sat on their respective seats.

The priest was standing next to Ever; behind the priest were two servants, one holding a golden tray with a crown on it and the other holding a silver tray with a glass of water on it.

The priest gathered both his hands and placed them on his chest. Blue glitter sparkled from his chest as he begun to murmur in the language of Angelic priests. The beating of Ever's heart fastened. The priest gestured the servants to come forward.

"My lady, Ever Angel." He spoke loudly.

"I, Jemaah, the high priest of Angelic declare Ever Angel as the second executive Queen of Angelic."

He took the crown from the golden tray and murmured a pray. The crown was decorated with sapphires of Water Land, diamonds of Air Land, emeralds of Earth Land, ruby of Fire Land and gold of the Capital. The priest placed the crown upon Ever's head. Ever controlled her unstoppable heartbeat and sighed deeply.

"Queen Ever, may your reign enrich Angelic with prosperity, love and peace."

The priest offered Ever the glass of Water. The water was from the river Darranoi, it is blessed by the high priest and the five Angels. She emptied the glass and placed it on the tray of the servant.

"Your highness, address the gathering."

Ever took another deep sigh and spoke. "I take this as a huge privilege to be enthroned as the Queen of Angelic. I know this is unexpected but I hope my enthronement will support to overcome the treat of Roop and the blood drinkers. I will enrich Angelic with prosperity, love and peace."

Everyone stood up from their seated and chanted. "Long live the Queen!"

Ever interrupted the audience. "I would like to give the chance to councilor, Cedric Roosevelt to address the gathering."

Cedric stepped into the center of the hall and bowed Ever.

"Your highness, it's a huge privilege to speak in your first council meeting," he paused and sighed. "Yesterday at the royal wedding of Elizabeth Angel and Alexander Angelo Earth we underwent an attack from a strange sector of creatures called blood drinkers. All five Angels are now struggling with their lives. The royal physicians has not yet found a way to cure the Angels but Amota, the future teller claimed that she could save the Angels if she get the nectar of the flowers of the tree of life in Azera." He finished.
