106 β€œCoronation Ceremony”

Eleanora stared at the silver suit with a blue robe infront of her for a long time. πŸπ˜³π‘’π—²π˜Έeπ’ƒπ˜―π’π―eπš•.cπ’π’Ž

The buttons was made from fine white jewels and the embroidery was done by silver threads which made the suit shiny.

The top button of the suit was replaced with her family crest design.

β€˜Just how long ago you started to prepare for this, daddy?’

Eleanora’s eyes become a little wet as she hugged the official knight suit of the Dalton duchy.

In her last life, she went to the battlefield wearing the imperial knight suit given by the emperor.

When she returned, the new emperor made her the captain of the third squadron.

She had her own offical black suit from then on.

So, Eleanora never got the chance to wear the knight suit of her own familly.

.....

β€˜Thank you, Daddy.’

Very soon, the closed door opened with a smiling Eleanora; who was wearing a silver suit with a blue robe above it.

Her hair was tied up into a high ponytail with blue ribbons to match her outfit.

She had also taken off all the jewelry she had on and hanged a sword on her waist.

The decorated sword with blue and silver jewels and the knight suit made her look more elegant then the dress she had on.

β€œDaddy! How do i look?”

Eleanora spoke as she twirled a little to show her outfit to her father.

Alexander’s eyes widened as he looked at his daughter.

Her blue robe flew as she twirled, along with her silver hair.

...

β€œHoney! how do i look?”

Eunicelia asked as she came out from the changing room, wearing Alexander’s uniform.

Her dark blue hair flew along with the big blue robe as she twirled to show her new look to her husband.

Alexander, who was reading a newspaper looked at his wife in amusement.

β€œIt’s too big for you.”

β€œ...You are really no fun! I heard that man’s likes it when the wife wears their husbands clothes.”

β€œSo you thought of trying that on me?”

β€œIs there anyone else except you? Unfortunately i don’t have a second husband to show.”

Eunicelia felt she has successfully won against Alexander in the argument as he didn’t spoke anything.

But to her disappointment, Alexander has never lose a verbal argument even with his short response’s.

How can he lose so easily now?

β€œ...You want another husband when you faint just by me?”

Alexander spoke in a mocking voice to tease his wife.

β€œY-You!!! Shameless!!!”

Eunicelia’s face turned red as she couldn’t even find any words to keep arguing with Alexander.

Seeing her stomping in anger, Alexander’s lips curved up a little as he approached Eunicelia slowly.

β€œWhy am shameless? It was you who tried to seduce me wearing this extra large clothes.”

β€œWill it kill you if you just praise me?!”

Alexander chuckled a little as he rolled up the sleeves of his uniform for Eunicelia, as he hugged her from behind.

Eunicelia, who wanted some praise was still fuming in anger as she looked at the big mirror infront of her to see their reflection.

β€œYou don’t have to look best. If i can fall for a girl who had mud all over her face- Ouch!”

β€œAlexander Dalton! You dare mention that again!”

Eunicelia used her elbow to hit Alexander on his stomach as he bought up her dark past.

β€œOkay, Okay... i won’t!!”

Alexander surrendered but Eunicelia still kept fighting with him with pillows, till the room was fill with feathers and no pillow for her to destroy.

Eunicelia fall on Alexander’s arms tiredly as she recalled their past.

The day, when the twenty years old Eunicelia heard that her fiance (Emperor Valerian) was coming to meet her, she climbed up the wall to escape.

Emperor Valerian was ten years older then her and moreover, Eunicelia liked to fight with swords rather then sitting on the throne and be a empress.

But after climbing up the wall, Eunicelia, who didn’t knew that there was mud on the floor jumped down happily.

Only to fall on the mud and hear a low laughing sound infront of her.

Eunicelia somehow managed to clear her eyes and was shocked to see a handsome young man with silver hair standing infront of her.

Alexander, who was only twenty two at that time failed to control his cold facial expression for the first time in his life.

But he was drown to her golden eyes at first sight.

Seeing the laughing young man infront of her, Eunicelia couldn’t help but start laughing with him too.

...

β€œDaddy!!! Where are you lost at?! How do i look?”

Eleanora pulled Alexander’s sleeve to get his attention as he didn’t spoke anything after seeing her.

Alexander, who was lost in the past blinked a few times to fix his eyes which felt a little wet, before he looked at Eleanora.

Seeing Eleanora looking up at him, who had the same facial features of her mother even if her eyes and hair was like him, Alexander felt a stinging pain on his heart.

β€˜Only if i could travel back a little more, maybe i could also save you...’

Alexander suddenly kneeled down as he pulled Eleanora into his embrace to hug her tightly.

β€œYou look great... Very beautiful.”

β€˜Just like your mother.’

A tear drop left Alexander’s eyes silently as he burried his head into Eleanora’s shoulder.

β€œAm sorry...”

β€˜I am such a failure... i couldn’t save you or our daughter. I will make sure to keep her safe in this life, i promise, Lia.’

β€œDaddy...?”

Eleanora was a little confused to see Alexander like this. Specially when he apologised so suddenly.

Alexander exhaled a heavy breathe before he stood up and wipe his face before Eleanora could notice something.

β€œAre you okay?”

Eleanora asked in concern but Alexander just smiled at her before holding her hands to walk.

β€œLet’s go.”

β€œMmn.”

Eleanora happily hold her father’s hands and walked with him to attend the coronation ceremony.

Everyone they meet on their way was shocked to see Eleanora, who was wearing the same suit as her father.

Usually, only the heirs of the family can wear a matching dress with the head of the family.

But currently Eleanora is the future empress, so seeing her wearing her family suit during the coronation ceremony was shocking to them.

β€˜Has the duke gone crazy?’

β€˜Is this how Duke Dalton is going to protest against the royal marriage?’

β€˜Only he can dare to do this!’

β€˜Is Duke Dalton declaring war against the royal family just to break the marriage?’

β€˜He was called the most romantic husband in the empire, now he took the best father title too!’

.....

Eleanora heard all kind of comments from the people around them as they walked.

She knew Alexander didn’t liked being gossiped about, so she looked at her father in concern.

β€œ...”

β€˜Why is he smriking?!’

Eleanora was shocked to see the proud and satisfied Alexander, whose lips was curved up into a smrik.

Because he was happy that everyone understood his meaning behind dressing his daughter up like this.

So, he was in a happy mood.

He wanted to let the young emperor know that, he isn’t going to back off so easily.

He will try with his all might to keep the emperor away from his daughter.

Standing outside of the big door to enter the hall, Alexander coughed a little to clear his throat.

β€œAre you ready to face the change, Ele?”

Eleanora looked up at his father as she nodded with a bright smile.

β€œYes! I know that daddy won’t let anything wrong happen with me!”

Alexander was a little stunned to hear this from his daughter and he smiled at her gently.

But deep inside, he was feeling guilty as he failed to protect her in their last life.

Alexander gestured the attendance to announce their arrival and hold Eleanora’s hands more tightly.

β€˜Yeah, Father will protect you this time.’

β€œThe sword of the empire, Duke Alexander Dalton and the future moon of the empire, Lady Eleanora Ariande La Dalton, are entering!!!!”

As soon as the chief attendant finished his announcement, the large door opened and the hall room which was filled up with guest came to Eleanora’s view.

β€œKeep your head up.”

Alexander spoke as he stepped into the hallroom, full of nobles, who was staring at his daughter.

But Alexander’s blue eyes was as cold as ever.

Most of them was praising Eleanora but to Alexander, they were the people who cheered for his daughter’s execution.

They were the people who was responsible for Eleanora’s weak mentality.

They crushed her self esteem and pride completely, making her feel low about herself.

Blaming herself for her mother’s dead and for not getting the emperor’s love.

Alexander remembers this path which lead to the emperor’s bedroom after crossing it.

How he had killed all the people at this exact spot before turning back the time, after Jennifer had helped him to escape with Dion Richardo.

At that time, he didn’t wanted to escape without punishing those who made his daughter like this.

That was the only reason for him to keep living at the prison peacefully for three years, even when he had no will to live.

He wanted to take away his daughter’s body along with him, bury her beside Eunicelia before he suicides to accompany them.

He killed everyone who came to stop him in this exact hallway and reached the emperor’s bedroom to see his daughter lying like she’s just sleeping.

How he wished that was the truth.

But the high power magic stones all over the bed and the healing magic on her along with the emperor’s low mana level was telling him that it was not the truth.

Even if the emperor brings all the magic stones in the world, his daughter won’t open her blue eyes and call him β€˜father’ again.

Then, he finally got the opportunity with the help of Dion to turn back the time.

To save and protect her again.

After a short moment of their entry, The attendance announced the emperor’s arrival.

There was no need to guess that the emperor was waiting for the future empress’s arrival first.

Right after the emperor entered, everyone kneeled down, dropping their swords on the ground.

β€œWe greet the sun of the empire, Emperor Cathain De Valerian Valentino.”

β€œStand up.”

Everyone stood up as the emperor spoke and looked at him.

Then, Cathain kneeled down in one knee as the high priest started to recite hymns.

After a short wait, The high priest split a few drops of holy water on the emperor before stepping out.

β€˜What’s happening?’

Everyone started to murmur as the high priest backed off without placing the crown on the emperor’s head.

Eleanora’s thoughts was the same.

Then, finally the high priest spoke to stop the gossip downstairs, Which ended up shocking everyone.

β€œThe priest are always the goddess’s favourite, but now we have someone who is more favourite to the goddess then us.”

Eleanora’s face turned dark as she heard the high priest.

β€˜I just hope this stupid man doesn’t do anything stupid anymore.’

β€œI hope Lady Dalton, the only saintess of empire to bless this empire by putting the crown on his Majesty by herself.”

β€œ...”

β€˜Damn you, Cathain!!’

Eleanora cursed at Cathain as she felt uncomfortable from everyone’s gazes on her.

She looked up and felt more irritated as Cathain was smiling at her.

She could also feel Alexander’s killing gaze at Cathain as it was like he was accepting the war against her father.

β€œPlease, come up. Lady Dalton.”

The high priest called for her again and rejecting it infront of everyone is impossible.

Eleanora slipped her hands away from Alexander’s grip as she walked the stairs to stand infront of Cathain.

The emperor happily kneeled down infront of her again as a knight bought the bright red regalia with the royal crest embroidered on it with gold and the shining emperor’s crown.

Eleanora hadn’t came of age and didn’t m married the emperor either, so she couldn’t get the coronation ceremony as the empress after the emperor.

Which both Eleanora and Alexander was happy with.

Eleanora sighed as she took the imperial ragalia first and placed it above the emperor’s shoulders carefully.

Then she looked at the shining crown and picked it up to put it on the emperor’s head.

As Eleanora was putting the crown on the emperor’s head, Cathain murmured lowly with his head down.

Which only Eleanora could hear.

β€œI swear to be a royal ruler, help my people and keep up the dignity of this crown.”

β€œ...”

β€˜Why is he taking his vows so early and in a low voice? Am sure no one else is hearing it except me.’

Eleanora thought as she put the crown on her and was about to back off till she heard his vow completely.

β€œMy soul and body belongs to no one but only to you. If the crown can’t get you as my empress, then... screw the crown and the empire.

I only want you in my every lifetime.”
