Evelina got shocked after hearing from Jordan. If it was just Jordan, she would manage somehow. But now it's their new Emperor. How could she misbehave with him in front of everyone!!When she's here to give him blessings!! Evelina tried to Calm her brain.
"It's the kindness of our Lord that he thought of me.....But sorry to say, maybe my Lord has forgotten that the ex Emperor had already banned our marriage a few years ago. So I think it's not possible anymore." Evelina said polity and kept a fake smile.
"I know. I haven't forgot but you've forgotten that my late Emperor father suspended our marriage temporarily just for one year only. Now it's been 5 years already, so now i'm taking you back." Jordan said spontaneously.
Evelina surprised ... Jordan is telling a lie. Though they never got divorce but the late Emperor banned their marriage forever.
"No my Lord, please accept my apology but you've mistaken. It's been banned permanently." Evelina explained in a controlled self.
Federico stood up and said,
" Why don't our Commander showed the decree to my Lord. Everything will be cleared."
Evelina looked at Albert. But Albert looking pale. Evelina asked for the decree by a beck of eye contact.
Albert immediately stood up and came towards Evelina. Then he wishpered in her ears from behind.
"Sorry, Commander. When we were talking that time, Minister Federico maybe heard our conversation. So he came to me and took away the decree forcefully." Albert lowered his head.
"What!!"
"I'm really sorry. I couldn't took care of that." Albert lowered his head.
Evelina understood everything. She colsed her eyes for a while to calculate everything in her mind. Then she looked at Jordan and smiled,
"Well... I'm accepting the position of ist Empress with pleasure. Thanks to my Lord that he considered me worthy of being an Empress and reestablish our marriage...."
Jordan smiled more cheerfully and blushed, keeping his gaze down. He knew Evelina would agreed this time for sure. He didn't leave any scope for her to make any excuse.
.
.
Then the rituals of throning the Empress has begun. Evelina couldn't help but obey and follow every rules and accept the Crown. She sat beside Jordan unwillingly.
Martha got a mix feeling. She never cared about power. So not being able to become the main Empress didn't bother her. But now Evelina has come, so her little hope to get Jordan's love dismayed. Though she's happy that from now on Evelina will live here permanently with her. So she smiled hiding her sorrow.
Everyone had a toast to show respect to their new leader.
Andreas stood up and said,
"Let's have a dinner and celebrate the new ruling era of our cavalry."

______________________________________
Everyone went to the Central Hall. The hall has two parts.
{Inner hall for the royal family members and the outer hall for the outsiders such as officials and court members.}
Jordan and the Royal Mother entered into the inner Hall for dinner. Andreas , Federico, Empresses and Concubines followed them.
And the other Regent, Ministers, Commanders, soldiers and employees of the Court entered the outer hall.
All of them begun celebrating. Dancers and singers started their performances in both Halls. Everyone enjoyed their activities while eating.
.
.
.
Evelina entered the inner hall with a torment in her heart.She took off the crown from her head. Then she threw it in the floor in front of Jordan.
Jordan was standing at a distance chatting with Federico while the Empress's Crown got crashed into pieces ahead of his legs.
"What the F*** was that, Jordan?"Evelina looked at Jordan furiously.
"My sweet wife just calm down I can explain." Jordan smiled.
"DON'T CALL ME YOUR WIFE."she shouted.
"But the decree has being destroyed. Don't you remember what's that mean. The prohibition has been removed.Now you're my wife indeed."Jordan touched her hand.
"So you were pretending this morning that you've changed.....!!"
"No, I've really changed. Now I love you more than earlier." Jordan tighten his grip.
"What did you do with the decree....!!"
"I've eaten that up....hahahaha" Jordan laughed out while whispering in her ear.
Evelina release his hand with a sudden collusion.
"Whatever you say...just go to hell with your crown or throne. I don't want these nonsense. I'm going back. I can't tolerate this nonsense anymore." Evelina walked back for leaving the hall.
But a huge number of soldiers blocked her way.
Everyone presented there became blanked after getting shocked one after another. They couldn't help but saw two of them leaving the enjoyment just by standing there silently.
"So you'll stopped me like this, huh?" Evelina turned to Jordan and smiled in a mocking way.
Then she took out her sword and begun to fight with the soldiers. Soon she defeated almost all of them and wounded many.
She was about to left after crossing them but Jordan stand in front of her.
He took out his own sword and blocked Evelina by keeping it on her way.
Evelina raised her head at him with a confusing look.
"How about this? If you defeat me then I'll let you go or if I win then you've to stay with me from now on...." Jordan said raising his sword.
Evelina laughed and said,
"Have you lost you mind. I taught you everything and even gave you sword training. And now you're challenging me..... SERIOUSLY!!"
"If you're that confident then let's have a face-off." Jordan smiled.

____________________________________
Both of them started a terrible fight. Everyone got frightened and some of them left the hall. Both of them broke a lot of expensive things while fighting. In the next Hall, the celebration continued as they couldn't hear anything because of the loud music. Besides Andreas took necessary precautions to concealed everything that happening inside the inner Hall. So that no one can spead any rumors later on.
After a couple of minutes...
Suddenly Jordan took an amazing move and broke Evelina's sword into two pieces by his sword.
Evelina was stunned by his movement.
Her eyes got widen like a pond.
"So I defeated you." Jordan said with a winning charm.
"How did you do that? It's impossible!!"
Jordan come closer to Evelina and wispers in her ears,
"Let me tell you a secret. I've completed my training from your mentor. And he taught me your every special technic and how to defeat you.....no matter how much skilled you're, you can't cross your master's skills that he only taught me as I was the Crown Prince."
"Wait...you were imprisoned all these times. Then how did you manage to go to my academy and meet with my teacher?" Evelina curiously mattered.
" Don't forget I've some previliges. Thank you you I couldn't stepped out of my Manor. So I ordered your mentor to come to the Palace instead."
Evelina finally accepted her defeat. She's sad but not because she lost against Jordan, it's because the sword was Samuel's sword that Jordan broke into pieces during the fencing.
Jordan grabbed Evelina's hand and was about to left the Hall. But he stopped for a moment and turned back towards everyone.
"Today's celebrations have achieved it's goals . Everyone please don't mind and enjoy as much as you can. All of you can continue eating.... I'll be leaving. .... you two come with me." Jordan shifted his gaze towards Andreas and Federico.
"But my son....why you're doing all these..." The Royal Mother finally opened her mouth after being speechless all the time.
" Mother, please don't bother yourself in my matters... I know clearly what I'm doing and why I'm doing this..." Jordan gave a smile and left the hall pulling Evelina with him.
Evelina walked away with him without any restrictions or even lowing her head as a slave.
"Everyone please don't panic and enjoy the party."
Andreas and Federico followed them after shooting these words.
Martha smiled that finally Jordan will be happy. Evelina has agreed to stay with him. His all struggles ended up.

In the Emperor's Manor:
---------------------------------------
"I'm sorry Eve.But I have to keep you here from now on. I know that there's still a little bit of affection left for me at the bottom of your heart . So please stay here with me for the sake of that." Jordan said carefully while entering the chembar dragging Evelina with him.
Federico has increased gaurds around the Emperor's pavilion where Jordan is living currently.
Evelina said nothing. She implicitly stepped inside with him.
Jordan release her hands from his grip.
Then she said clamly,
" Do me a favor, Jordan."
Jordan smiled.
"Yeah, say what can I do for you."
Evelina said with her pale eyes,
"Just get lost from here and leave me alone. NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE TO ME AGAIN!."
Jordan felt like a sharp knife cut of his heart disguising as Evelina's voice . He lowered his head and took a deep breath but said nothing.
"It's okay... Everything will be alright soon.....Just relax and stay here comfortably. I would better leave you alone now..." Jordan's looked at her for once.
"It's a shame that you're still the same nard and again repeating your mistakes...Even after I taught a proper lesson, you still got the guts" Evelina stated in a relaxed voice but ended up throwing a showpiece towards Jordan.
Jordan quickly stepped away to avoid the hit.
He didn't reply with any words and let out a deep sigh.
After a while he left the chamber with Federico and Andreas with a infinity pain in his soul.
