On the day of the coronation. Latil, dressed in the Emperor’s ceremonial robes, stood in front of the mirror, lost in emotions. She was happy, sad, overwhelmed, and scared.
“Nanny, do you remember? It was six years ago.”
Latil asked, wriggling her hand inside the fluffy red cloak.
“I wanted to become an empress then. The Empress of Karisen.”
“Of course. I remember it all.”
The nanny looked at Latil with a proud expression, finally shedding a tear.
“Why are you crying on such a good day, nanny?”
“Ah, I’m sorry. It’s inconsiderate of me.”
Latil went over and quickly hugged her nanny.
“I just wish Her Majesty the Empress could have seen you like this……”
“Nanny, if someone hears that they’ll get the wrong idea. My mother is still alive and well. I just need to show her.”
With a burst of laughter, Latil comforted her nanny.
“I know. She couldn’t attend the coronation. The coronation is a special day……”
“Hmm. We can make a similar coronation outfit and show her, can’t we?”
“When you become the Emperor, you’ll be busier, and now every action you take will be restricted. Will you be able to go to that faroff temple?”
“I have to try at least once.”
It would be better if my mother came in person. Latil swallowed a wish that was difficult to fulfill. The nanny wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and sobbed quietly.
“She will be very happy.”
“Yes.”
Latil felt a lump in her throat.
“Nanny, you used to be much bigger than me. I used to fit in your arms. Now, nanny fits into my arms.”
“Your Highness……”
“Thank you. For always helping me.”
Because Latil became complacent when the nanny was around, the Empress fired the nanny while Latil was taking the heir’s classes.
Because of this, the nanny had to go back to her original territory, and thanks to this, the Crown Prince Tilla was able to save his life even though he had taken over the palace for almost a year.
“Ah, my eyes can’t be red.”
Latil let go of her nanny and wiped the corners of her moist eyes. Today was a day when even if overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn’t cry. The nanny was crying, and tears kept welling up in her eyes as a result.
Latil slapped her cheeks a few times with both hands.
‘Don’t cry.’
Right, she shouldn’t cry. She had to show those who helped her, those who looked at her suspiciously, those who didn’t help the Crown Prince Tilla, but supported him in their hearts. Who the Emperor was. How majestic she was.
Just as she was about to go out after finishing her preparations.
“Your Highness. His Highness Leisian has arrived.”
The head of the knight group informed her of Leian’s visit.
“My brother?”
Latil was so happy that she opened the door herself to greet her brother.
On the day of the coronation, Leian, who was the former Crown Prince, stated that he would not attend as it was not good for him to show his face. But this surprise visit made her happy.
“Did you change your mind? You want to see your sister’s magnificent appearance, don’t you?”
However, Leian’s face did not look good as soon as he entered.
“What’s wrong?”
When Latil asked with concern, Leian sat down on a red chair without a backrest and spoke.
“I thought you would be upset if I didn’t come at all. I also have something to say, so I came for a while. I’m not here officially, so I’ll go back.”
“You’re not really going to attend?”
“I think it’s better that way. More than that, Latil. I heard you executed Tilla and banished Anakcha.”
“Yes.”
“Did you have to execute Tilla?”
“So, was your talk a reprimand?”
Latil sat opposite Leian with a surprised face. Leian sighed and took Latil’s hand.
“Latil. We did have a bad relationship with Tilla. We distanced ourselves to the worst extent while retaking the palace. But he’s your brother. My brother. We are of the same blood.”
“I know.”
“But did you have to see blood? It’s not good to see too much blood. You need to show a gracious side in the early stages of your rule.”
“You were a legitimate heir armed with orthodoxy, so you might think that. You had almost no opposition. But I’m not. I was compared with Tilla and you, and other brothers and sisters throughout my time as a princess. There were hundreds of nobles looking for a better option than me.”
“!”
“I wasn’t supposed to show a gentle face. I needed to be strong. And……”
Halfrising, Latil whispered in Le’an’s ear.
“I’d rather see the blood of a thousand enemies than the blood of my hundred men.”
Despite her stern words, Latil laughed brightly. Le’an sighed and held his forehead, signifying his disagreement with her words.
However, he didn’t further rebuke her. His sibling was destined to become the emperor and had struggled through hardships. What his sibling, who dared to take the path he feared, needed wasn’t nagging but trust.
Le’an rose from his seat and silently embraced Latil.
[This is the time separator]After Le’an left, there was no more time for hesitation. Latil went to the grand hall where the coronation would take place.
