Federico is busy welcoming all the representative and commanders. Evelina is talking with Albert and the eastern Commander while enjoying the welcome ceremony.

Suddenly a little boy grabbed Evelina's hand from the back.

"Mother ...."

Evelina looked at him and smiled. She never got a chance to meet with any kid.This is the first time ,She saw a kid from closer. She became overwhelmed and picked up Prince Daniel .

"Oh, sweet little kid. ...but I'm not your mother."Evelina said rubbing his head.

Andreas reached there behind Daniel.

"Oh Evelina. Long time no see." Andreas picked back Daniel from Evelina's lap.

"Oh Andreas!! How have you been?.Is it your son?" Evelina touched Daniel's little hand with an impressive look.

"No, it's our little Prince."

"You mean it's Jordan's son."

"You're right."

"Really." Evelina's eyes got widen with joy.

"Yeah."

Evelina felt so relaxed after hearing this. All her discomfort vanish away. She's glad to hear that. Her heart got a relief. Everything has really changed. Time always affecs the preservation.

"I'm so happy that Jordan moved on. Now I can die with a peace....." Evelina smiled.

"And I hope you've forgave him....?" Andreas asked with a worried face.

" Yeah... I've forgave him long ago. He was then a young boy. And I just stepped in my youth that time . So we made a huge mess.... I know he did that without understanding that it could be a crime... Actually everything was your fault. He was immature and took that decision out of the forces of his emotions. You should have stopped him that time...." Evelina expressionlessly said.

" You're right. If I stopped him or explained the right or wrong.... things between us could be different.... I'm sorry Eve....." Andreas pretend to be sorry but in deep inside he felt a little bit relax knowing that Evelina forgave Jordan.

" Just forget it. You don't have to be sorry. It was my fate. I tried to control my destiny and God punish me in this way.... I'm not angry with you anymore...." Evelina smiled.

" I'm glad to hear that.... let's get inside."

" Yeah.... Anyway I've to visit all the places of the Royal Castle. Everything has really gone through a big modification."

Jordan entered there.

"Yeah... everything has changed. 5 years 3 month 23 days , is a long time you see." Jordan tried to control his emotions and covered it with a calm smile.

Everyone bowed after seeing the new Emperor.

"All of you carry on with your activities. Don't mind me. I'm here to inspect the ceremony." Jordan shifted his gaze from everyone to Evelina again.

"Oh Jordan.. you've grown up to a handsome man or I should say the would be Emperor." Evelina gave a gentle smile.

"No need for unnecessary formalities, I would like you to wait until the coronation."

"You sounds like a wise man, now."

"Why didn't you ever visit the Palace all these times. My late Emperor father sent you numerous invitation in every occasion...." Jordan asked while watching over the entrance.

"I was angry at you that time..... Maybe that's why." Evelina said with a hesitation.

"What about now....Are you still angry with me?"

"Not anymore. I've moved on from the past. We've our own separate life now.....Life is too short to leads over past.... So I think we should focus on our present. Just looked at yourself. You've changed a lot within these period.... "

"Yeah... And also become a mature person as well. So I want to apologise to you for my mistakes in the past. I can understand now, everything was childish. I'm really sorry. I'm regretting now, that I've done a vicious crime in the past." Jordan narrated in a regretted voice.

"Oh it's okay.You've got your punishment and now you're becoming our Emperor. I forgave you already." Evelina smiled.

"Glad to hear that. ."Jordan smiled back.

" In fact... I also want to apologise.... I've almost ruined your lovelife..... Sorry for playing with your emotions that time. You know, I didn't have any other choice....." Evelina made an uncomfortable face.

" You don't need to explain.... Empress mother told me everything..... We just became victim to the situation....now we can start a new friendship forgetting the past..I don't have any resentment towards you. You were the best mentor for me after all ....." Jordan keep looking at her with the same past fascination while talking.

" Yeah...sure."

"It's your son,right!!.... It's good to know that you're just 23 years old and already has a son. what's his name?" Evelina asked.

"My name's Daniel, mother."Daniel opened his mouth.

"Don't mind him, he always addressed females as mother." Jordan covered up everything.

Evelina smiled.

Jordan and Andreas smiled back looking at each other.

"Let's go inside. You must be tired." Andreas said.

"Hmm. Meet you at the evening celebration." Evelina said to Jordan.

Jordan left with Andreas and Daniel. Though he doesn't want to leave but he had to. Andreas dragged him out alone with the little Prince with a great difficulty.

Evelina followed Federico ignoring them.

"I've arranged all the western Manors for our honorable guests. Please come in this way." Federico said loudly.

Albert and Evelina is walking beside Federico maintaining a little distance.

"Commander, you've kept your marriage decree to me. Wanna take it back." Albert said.

"No need. Everything is normal here. Just keep it with you. I don't think it has any use anymore... Anyway I'm tired . Let's take some rest. We have to attend the Coronation ceremony at the evening. Then we'll stay here 7 days until the celebration come to an end.... after that we'll go back...." Evelina entered in her Manor.

After a while, Martha heared the news of Evelina's arrival. She rushed over to the western Manors to meet her.

"May I have the permission of entering." Martha stood in front of the door of Evelina's chamber.

"Come in." Evelina said without noticeing as she is having her lunch.

"Evelina...." Martha smiled and entered inside.

"Oh my gosh, Martha." Evelina shouted.

Then she stood up and hugged Martha.

"I missed you a lot." Martha said while crying.

"Don't cry. Silly girl.I missed you too. I can see You've become more beautiful...."Evelina swiped off her tears.

"Why do you left me here alone. All the time I couldn't figure out why you suddenly left fighting with our Lord....You know what I much I've struggled to survive here competing with others women. They're too mean...." Martha continuously talked.

Evelina gave nothing but a smile.

"I've met with your son. He's really cute. It seems Jordan kept you happy." Evelina asked.

Martha gave a smile forcefully. Though Jordan gave her everything she wanted. Power, position or even made her an Empress. And on top of that he gave her the most precious thing,Daniel. But Jordan never loved her or even notice her once. Though he always treat her well .

But Martha never wanted all these. She always wanted a loving person who will loved her the most. Before coming to the palace , she got every male's attention. Every noble man dreamed of her. But now her only desire is being noticed by her Emperor. But her Emperor always being absorbed in Evelina's thought.

"I got some clothes for you. Though you have enough. But I'll be glad if you wears this female's clothes on the evening."Martha said.

"Of course, I'll." Evelina nodded.

"Good evening."he said.

"Same to you. So you ruled the North now?" Evelina asked.

"If I'm not wrong you've ruled the North before. Why you shifted in the South?" He asked while entering the main Royal Court.

"Long story,brother. I'll tell you someday.Let's get inside."Evelina gave a painful smile.

In the main Royal Court:

Evelina walked towards the Royal Mother (Jordan's mother).

"Your highness." Evelina bowed her head.

The Royal Mother (ex 2nd Empress ) looked at her and smiled.

"So you've finally come."

"Congratulations for your promotion. Now you've become an Emperor's Mother." Evelina smiled.

"Thanks, it was all your efforts...that give us a success.....you'll also be promoted soon, my child." Royal mother said in a mysterious tone.

"No need. I'm happy with my current position...and I don't think there's any higher position than the position of a Commander " Evelina said politely.

"Time will tell everything. You're an intelligent girl. I thought you'll understand what I mean.... I'm the witness of your intellectual brain.Do you remember, how you trapped my son and fade away easily." Royal Mother laughed out as if she's telling something funny.

"Well .....but not as intelligent as you.You also played with us making your puppet. I must say you were a strong opponent... " Evelina also laughed with her.

"All hail the new Emperor."a soldier shouted as Jordan entered the Main Court.

Everyone bowed to their new Lord.

The ceremony began. A couple of priests perform some rituals. then a priest took the holy Crown and put it on Jordan's head.

Jordan take his vows raising his sword. Then he sat on the throne .
