Book 17: Chapter 12
Daytime. Day of the baptism.
A stream of people came to Hilles City way prior to the baptism. A good number of them were from other nations. The majority were from satellite states. They merely came to see Empress Elizabeth and the successor to the throne, Daisy.
The enormous Rosvenor Empire underwent changes with each passing year. Lots of people began to wonder who the successor to the throne was. While they all believed it to be me in the past, I ended up ruling as King of the North, which meant that I couldn’t succeed the throne to Rosvenor Empire. The question, therefore, was whom would the throne be passed to? The answer was Daisy.
Empress Daisy, Troy Galadriel Rosvenor’s daughter, a direct descendant of the Rosvenor Empire, the girl Elizabeth loved was the next monarch of the Rosvenor Empire, was going to appear at the baptism. Everybody was curious as to who the successor to the throne was, which was why satellite states sent their envoys and Princes to see what sort of girl Daisy was.
During the day, Empress Elizabeth, Prince Troy and Royal Princess Nier would meet with the Princes or envoys of the various satellite states. That was the reason behind the huge number of people waiting in the guest hall. Everybody had their mouths shut and didn’t dare to utter a word as they awaited Empress Elizabeth’s arrival.
Empress Elizabeth had never been late, and today was no exception. That was when they heard the sound of boots marching across the area outside. The door swung open with a big push. Two Valkyries stood to the left and right. They respectfully lowered their heads: “We respectfully welcome Your Majesties!”
Everyone lowered their heads and saluted the three in unison. They were slightly surprised, though. In the past, Empress Elizabeth would have a group of Valkyries with her, yet there were only two, actually, three. One of them stuck with her.
Wait… The proud woman with a black face veil was the Empress. She wore a familiar military uniform and boots.
“The young man in white behind her must be the Prince. Where is Royal Princess? There’s only Her Majesty, His Majesty, and the Valkyrie next to them,” wondered the audience.
