WELCOME TO IZ*LAND (IZ*ONE FF)

23.

And even though her heart is weeping, and she wanted to stop her beloved from leaving, the new queen did not do it because she knew that ONEIRIC still needs her.

Chaewon hands over the crown to the ancient queen,who placed it on Yuri's head. 

'The crown symbolized the acceptance of a heavy duty,not only as the ruler of the fairies but also as the primary protector of all IZ*LAND and the keeper of the gems.' The ancient queen said.

'Will you accept this duty?' The ancient queen said again.

'I have no right no refuse.' Yuri replied.

The ancient queen declares Yuri as the new queen of the fairies and ONEIRIC.

Eunbi,Chaewon and Hitomi embraced her. 

Yuri looks for Nako,but she wasn't there.

Yuri sat on the throne. 

Hyewon gave the signal for the acclamation of the new queen.

AFTER THE CORONATION...

Yuri talks to Nako.

'Your absence earlier in the coronation means you're still mad at me.' Yuri said.

'I'm sorry,Auntie.Because I would remember my Mom,and would only take the spotlight away from you by weeping if I attended.' Nako replied.

'I promise you that even if Minju isn't there,you wouldn't lack wouldn't lack a mother,because I,Chaewon and Eunbi will be there for you and Hitomi.'

Nako thanked her aunt,who embraced her.

(Omaygadniss,this is too awkward....But if we looked at it,in real life,Yuri acts more matured than Nako,so I guess there's no problem with it.)

But Nako knew that none of the remaining Sang'gres would be enough to fill in the void left by her mother,the mother that she had promised herself to be reunited with.

Nako goes to Hitomi's room and wakes her up. 

'Hitomi,Hitomi,wake up...'

Hitomi then woke up.

'Nako? Why are you armored?' Hitomi asked.

'I will go somewhere...Do you want to come with me to fetch my mom?' Nako said.

'Okay...but how would we go there?' Hitomi asked.

'We would take a friend with us...' Nako answered.

'And,who is that 'friend'?'

That 'friend' turns out to be Jiheon.

'Your Highnesses,in fact I'm scared of your father(to Nako) and to your mother(to Hitomi) if they learned that we left.' Jiheon said.

'Don't worry,Jiheon...Hitomi left a letter,that we would only gone for a short time...' Nako answered.

'Your Highness,you know we can't be sure about that...' Jiheon replied.

'This isn't our first time,Jiheon...so we already knew the ones we will encounter and how to avoid them,so we could reach our destination more easily...'

Meanwhile,back in ONEIRIC,Yujin congratulates Yuri again and is about to leave for Heart*IZ with the former fugitives of ONEIRIC. 

But Chaewon stops them,saying that still Yuri wanted to speak to them.
