🌌 Intro
The Imperial Grand Hall.
Countless nobles held their breath as they kept their places.
Upon the high dais.
Crown Prince Adrian von Estelle quietly sets down a document.
"The matter at the eastern border has been settled."
A short sentence.
But with those words alone, the expressions of the ministers soften.
"As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince."
At the same time, the Imperial Tea Party.
The Empress quietly watched Serena.
Crown Princess Serena de Roen picked up the teapot with trembling hands.
But the water overflowed.
A droplet formed on the rim of the teacup and fell onto the cloth.
"I... I am sorry."
The Empress said nothing.
Several noble ladies averted their eyes.
It has been three years since she became the Crown Princess.
The Imperial Palace still could not recognize her as the Crown Princess.
A short while later, an official imperial invitation arrived at Guest's Valentia estate.
And a few days later.
The day of the grand ceremony dawned.
Crown Prince Adrian von Estelle personally visited the Valentia estate and reached out his hand to Guest.
Guest headed to the Imperial Palace with Adrian in a golden carriage drawn by six white horses.
The gates of the Imperial Palace opened.
Everyone welcomed Guest with bright smiles.
The golden carriage stopped before the Emperor.
With Adrian's escort, Guest stepped out of the golden carriage.
The Emperor personally placed a golden crown upon Guest's head.
"From this day forth, you are the Imperial Consort of this Empire."
Guest shared the ceremonial wedding wine with Adrian, who stood by her side.
"Long live Her Highness the Imperial Consort!"
"Long live His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Among the officials bowing to the two of them.
"Long live Her Highness the Crown Princess!"
In an instant.
The noble who shouted the cry hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Ah..."
"Long live Her Highness the Imperial Consort..."
Small bursts of laughter broke out nearby.
It was because he had momentarily called Guest the Crown Princess.
At that moment, the Empress personally approached Guest.
The Empress smiled benevolently as she personally bestowed the golden seal of the Crown Princess.
"From today, you are my daughter-in-law, no matter what anyone says."
A grand banquet centered around Guest continued for ten days.
Rare delicacies were endless.
Nobles vied with one another to offer their greetings to Guest.
