Coronation

-Sun Palace: Guest Room-

It was the day of the Coronation, Seraphine woke up before the maids could arrive to take care of her. She was outside the balcony of her room at the railings her face rested on her hands.

"Meow?"

Fries jumped towards the railing looking at the princess with curiosity, Seraphine only gave the lion cub a faint smile, the lion cub mewed again as if asking her what was wrong.

"When I become crowned princess, what will I do next? Will uncle continue to guide me? I honestly don't know what I should do being both a princess and the holder of this power"

The lion cub gave a tiny roar, a gesture of reassurance to her, the princess smirked at the lion cub. She then got lost in thought again, but her thoughts were interrupted when the door to her room opened.

"I guess it's time"

She says turning around going back inside the room, there weren't only four maids this time, ten maids entered the room plus Zeno and Elinna who also entered.

"May the Morning Sunshine give Blessings to her highness, Princess Seraphine, soon Crowned Princess of the Sun Empire."

Seraphine is taken aback at the sudden addition to what they all usually say, she gave an awkward smile and a small wave.

"Thanks?"

"We must prepare you now princess" Zeno interjects "you will have your breakfast here, you cannot go out of your room until it is time for the ceremony to start."

"Okay?"

"I will be guarding your room while the maids and your lady-in-waiting take care of you, if you need anything, do not hesitate to call for me"

Zeno gave a bow while Seraphine nodded, when he went outside the maids first asked her if she had a good night sleep, she gave a short reply of 'yes', Mary Ann then ushered her to sit on a chair while they massage her arms and legs for a while.

"We need to take care that your muscles are not stressed out, princess, relax and let us handle this, your breakfast will arrive shortly after."

Four of them started massaging her arms and legs, Elinna is the one brushing her hair while the others prepare the bath.

(Meanwhile)

-Core Palace: Guest Room-

Kristopherson the King of the Sky Kingdom is being dressed up for this evening's event as well, he was looking at Luke, his Chancellor with a nervous expression.

"Are you still angry about what I did?"

"Yes"

"I told you, I wasn't compromised since she doesn't even know who I am"

"But that is still breaking the rules"

"You cannot see each other before the designated meeting, you know that!"

"It is fine Luke, nothing happened when we met"

Luke gave a suspicious look at the King, Kristopherson shrugged at Luke, and turned his attention to the maids who were fixing the ornaments on his clothing.

King Kristopherson is wearing a white formal attire for ceremonies, a white dress shirt inside, a cravat on the neck with a light blue gem attached to the cravat, with a white vest, a white tailcoat and a white cape with a symbol of an eagle delicately embroidered on it.

Basically, he was wearing all white as well as white combat boots. While Luke is wearing the opposite of white, he is wearing all black except for a cape, since that is just for royalties.

"I will meet Seraphine later, I wonder what she will wear and look like?"

"I cannot believe you just shrugged what you just did, My King"

Kristopherson gave a cheeky grin at Luke in which he found it annoying, he shook his head in disapproval and turned his head to the side so as to not see the face of the King.

(Back at the Sun Palace)

-Sun Palace: Guest Room-

The princess ate breakfast and then has been put to sleep once again, while maids massage her, a scented candle has been lit as well so that her body and mind is relaxed.

When she woke up it was dinner, the maids, as well as Elinna, ushered her to eat and then after eating, a cucumber mixture was placed on her face and neck, all of her nails are also polished and painted red.

"There's also manicure in this place, I thought it didn't have any…"

"There is princess, hygiene is important after all, especially for royalty"

Seraphine glances at the maid's nails, it was clean and short, she nods impressed.

'It looks like there is a difference in this world and my world, after all, the Victorian Era people in my world are...well let's just say, strange, and has a strange way of hygiene.'

After the manicure, the maids guides her inside the bathroom, she was bathe massaged again and bathe, the process repeats for more than four times, she was also made to gargle a similar concoction of mouth-wash, as well as brush her teeth with a wooden toothbrush.

When evening finally arrived, Elinna with the help of Zeno carried the dress inside the princess room, Zeno exited shortly after, it was covered in cloth so that it was a surprise.

"That's the dress?"

"Yes, your highness"

Elinna pulled the cover to reveal a red long ball gown dress that reveals the back, the shoulders and a bit of chest, it has golden feather designs and magi-stone beads on the upper part of the dress that goes down just above the waist, the hem of the dress also has feathered designs on it.

The Royal Cape that Elinna made along with the seamstresses had a golden lion embroidered on the back with silver wings.

"I am speechless"

Seraphine says her mouth agape, looking at the beautiful dress, although the maid's expression looks otherwise, since they are not used to such revealing clothes.

"Isn't it?"

"Perfect"

The princess cuts Mary Ann's words, the head maid, kept her comment to herself.

"Let me help you put it on, your highness"

Seraphine eagerly nods, Elinna and the maids help her dress-up, the princess is shocked that despite it being a long red ball gown, in which it will be heavy, it was very light and easy to move around with it.

After she was dressed she was made to sit on the chair, her hair got tied into an updo crown braid, some strands of her hair framing her face, after that light make-up is applied, so that she has a natural glow.

When all of that was done, the royal cape was put on her, she stood up and turned around, all of the maids and Elinna bowing to her.

"Thank you all for taking care and pampering me…"

"It is our pleasure to serve you, princess Seraphine"

"But…" she looks down "what about shoes?"

Everyone looks at Elinna, she tilts her head with a questioning look.

"That's strange, did I not carry the shoes with me?"

"No…"

A Knock diverted all of their attention and Zeno entered with a box at hand as well as Fries with a red, open toe strap, stiletto heels.

"Please sit down, your highness"

Seraphine sat again, while Elinna kneeled and put the shoes on her, the princess is surprised that Elinna knows how to put on shoes like this.

"Your highness" she looks up at Zeno "allow me to put on the Emperor's gift on you"

"Gift?"

Zeno opens the box to reveal a gold thin necklace that has a medium size pendant and is shaped like the Sun with a blue gem on the centre, at the centre of the box is a pair of red earrings.

"That looks expensive"

Zeno puts the necklace on her, making a maid hold onto the box for a moment, he clips it on while Seraphine looks at the pendant and gem on the necklace.

"I'll put on the earrings," Seraphine says, Zeno nods and takes the box from the maid and brings it to her, she takes the earrings and puts it on.

She is now ready for the coronation, she stands up, looks in a mirror stand to see her full body appearance.

"Wow!" It Was the only thing she uttered.

"We are honoured serving you, Princess Seraphine."

All the servants and Elinna said bowing to her, she turned around with a blush and a wide grin on her red lips.

"Now for the veil"

Zeno put on a white veil on her, it was at that moment a knock from the Knight guarding the room came into their attention.

"The Emperor is calling for you, princess"

Seraphine nods, Elinna and the maids all lowered their heads while Zeno held out his arm. The princess takes it and both of them Zeno escorting her to the Emperor exited the room.

-Sun Palace: Emperor's Chamber-

Zeno knocked at the door, the Emperor gave a reply to 'come in' the aid then stepped away from the princess lowering his arm, the princess took that as a signal to take her hold off of him, he then opens the door while he gestures to the princess to go inside.

She goes inside the Emperor's Chamber alone, she calls out for Cailum.

"I'm here"

She follows the voice, the Emperor was in a room full of portraits of past King's he smiles at his niece.

"You look beautiful"

"Thank you…"

Cailum turns around to face her, he folds the veil to see the face of the princess, he admires his niece and places a kiss on her forehead.

"Do not take the veil off, your fiancé will take it off"

"...Okay"

"I was just thinking in this room" he looks at the portraits "I am the first Emperor that united this continent, but this past King's were blinded by greed and war, resulting in the decline of humans…"

'Aren't they your predecessor? Are you sure you're supposed to say that?'

"No need to worry, they are dead"

'Did he read my mind?'

"Your expression gives what you are thinking away" Cailum reasoned.

"Ah…"

"Let us go to the Throne Room, shall we? It is about time that all of the guests arrived already."

"I'm a bit nervous"

"It is fine"

The Emperor held his arm out, Seraphine mentally noted that, you need to hold a man's arm if they ever held it out to you, she nodded and grabbed it, Cailum lowered the veil again so that it covered her face.

-Palace Throne Room: Entrance-

They arrived at the Entrance of the Throne Room the two commanders of the Sun Empire Saluting to the two royals that arrived.

"Seraphine, you will enter when I call out your name, understand?"

"I do" Seraphine exhales with a shaky tone of voice.

"It will be alright" Cailum reassures her, the princess lets him go and Cailum positions himself.

"His Majesty Emperor Cailum has arrived"

The loud chatter inside died down, the door opening for the Emperor and closing it when he entered.

"May the Blessings of the Sun shine upon you, your majesty, Emperor Cailum"

When he arrived at his throne he gestured for the guest to rise from their bowing, his eyes scanned the throne room.

"We are gathered here today, for the glorious coronation of my niece, Seraphine Armaclei"

"Is that my cue?" Seraphine says outside the throne room.

"Not yet," the first commander said

"I know that this is a sudden event, and all of you may wonder why I have decided to coronate my niece" the crowd nods at what the Emperor said "My niece is the second daughter of my brother Eric the crowned prince of the Sun Empire that was supposed to be crowned as King"

"So the niece is the brother of Crowned Prince Lucianus"

"An accidental teleportation again?"

The crowd of guests discussed, but they became silent again when the Emperor spoke.

"My niece arrived in this world carrying something that we all know too well, and needed for some time now, but because of the lack of the important presence of it, Celestia Continent is slowly dying."

"You don't mean-"

"Yes" Cailum nods to his people "My niece, Seraphine is the Holder of the Prophecy that will remedy the problems of our Empire, that is why this day is a very important day, not only for her but for Celestia Continent as well"

He gestures for the Entrance of the Throne Room, his arm straight as well as his hand.

"This will be marked in the History Books and the History of Celestia Continent! Come Forward! Seraphine Gloxinia Stephanotis Bourgeon Convallaria Armaclei."
