The people gathered in the grand hall had different faces and attire, but their expressions were all the same. As today marked the beginning of a new era, anticipation was evident on their faces.
Among them was Etienne, who had rarely left the mansion in a long time. The coronation ceremony was a significant event that Etienne couldn’t afford to miss.
“Fernando.”
Etienne’s gaze caught Fernando, who was quietly seated beside his parents. Being present as a duke in place of his father made him even more noticeable. Haven’t seen his face closely for almost ten days, the sharpness of Fernando’s face stood out due to the lost weight.
Observing the matured atmosphere around Fernando, Etienne swallowed a sigh.
He seemed to understand how much Fernando had suffered. Just because they hadn’t seen each other didn’t mean they hadn’t thought about each other.
“Today, will our eyes meet?”
And would she be able to smile while looking at Fernando?
“Prince Leharht Ganyeon is entering.”
The thunderous sound of the herald’s announcement echoed through the hall, shattering Etienne’s contemplation. Finally, the booming noise resounded as if it were a lie. Like others, Etienne welcomed the man who would ascend to the throne as the emperor.
As the door opened, revealing Leharht, Etienne involuntarily held her breath.
Under the bright golden hair that seemed to hold the sun, a beautiful face was revealed. When his sea-like eyes swept the audience, sighs were heard here and there.
Etienne realized once again how beautiful the man she loved was. With each confident step he took, crossing the hall, she couldn’t take her eyes off him.
“Leharht.”
Was it the sound of Etienne calling him in her heart?
Leharht, who had been walking forward with his gaze fixed ahead, turned to the side for the first time. As his passing gaze met Etienne’s, emotions surged, and at that moment, it felt like tears would fall.
Despite thinking that she had controlled her emotions a lot, in reality, she seemed to want to nestle in Leharht’s embrace and whimper. She forgot the significance of the current occasion and wanted to run to him, share her story.
Closing her eyes for a moment and taking a deep breath, Leharht, who had been watching Etienne, turned his head forward again.
With graceful steps, Leharht reached the high throne on the elevated platform.
Leharht, who had not stopped once until entering the hall, briefly looked at the chair, then turned away. Slowly, he sat down in front of everyone’s eyes.
The first ritual of becoming the emperor, the Seating Ceremony, was performed. Cheers echoed as Leharht raised his hand slightly.
The seemingly endless cheers stopped when Leharht lowered his hand slightly.
The audience fell silent for a moment, and their gazes toward Leharht intensified. They waited, looking at the man who would lead them, wondering what he would say.
The anxious time passed, and Leharht slowly spoke as he opened his mouth.
“The morning of the day I become the emperor, I thought it would be very different… but it’s the same.”
People who expected the new emperor to express ambitious aspirations were slightly surprised by his words.
“Nothing will change in the future.”
However, Leharht calmly continued with his statement.
“That’s the empire I desire. Maintaining the same peace as now. And…”
As Leharht’s words paused, the hall fell silent.
“I will create a world where the gift of tomorrow is given.”
His voice, neither too loud nor too soft, resonated in Etienne’s heart. Knowing how precious the gift of tomorrow is more than anyone else.
Etienne, clasping her hands to her chest, took a deep breath and opened her eyes to look at Leharht.
Just as Leharht, who was surveying the audience, turned to look at Etienne, their gazes collided in the air.
In the exchanged glances filled with the clearly expressed desire for each other, a louder cheer echoed compared to before.
“For Emperor Leharht Ganyeon’s glory!”
“For Emperor Leharht!”
They showed reverence towards the new emperor. Leharht smiled faintly. Despite feeling rather plain compared to the long preparation period, the coronation ceremony had finally arrived for this moment.
Leharht, for the second time in his life, finally sat in this position. With a renewed perspective, he looked around the audience.
“I will protect this peace. I will ensure that no one dies unjustly, and I will firmly support from behind so that they can live with hope for tomorrow.”
That was his ambition, born from returning after facing death.
“Now, it’s time to enjoy the ball.”
In response to Leharht’s muttered words, Alex, who was standing beside him like a shadow, nodded.
“Understood.”
It was when Alex was about to signal to the musicians.
“Urgent news!”
“Bring the author over right away.”
Seeing a knight urgently running towards them, Alex gave instructions. Regardless of what kind of emergency it was, it was the emperor’s coronation ceremony now.
No major disturbance should occur. However, the knight acted as if he knew nothing.
