"My Lady you look as lovely as you're mother did when she was coronated. " my servant and best friend Giana said.
"Thank you, but I'd prefer not too hear about mother right now " I said holding back tears
"Oh don't fret my dear. We are going too take care of you. It's just your mothers time. Everything happens for a reason. You just gotta figure out why" she said putting the last touch on my hair.
"That made me feel a lot better" I sighed thankfully
"Come on. Let's get you into that dress and down too the Convent Hall"
*teleport too 30minutes later"
I was walking down the hall.
Past all the faces.
Nice and slow.
Smile.
Show them you're meant too be there
Show them that you can take the throne.
"Please be seated" the priest says "We are gathered today at the coronation of Princess Seraph. Her mother cannot be with us as her last moments are crucial, but we know she wishes she could be here. "
The priest wen through the motions before the bearer of the crown came walking down the isle.
" I bestow too you, Princess Seraph, the crown that ties you too you're people. I bestow upon you, the kingdom of The Dark. I bestow upon you, the holiness of the gods and the righteousness of the sword. "
He placed the crown on my head and helped me up.
He turned too face the crowd.
" I bestow upon you, people of the land of The Dark, Queen Seraph. I bestow upon you, you're new ruler. I bestow upon you, the caregiver of your land. Forever more. For truth and Strength. The courage that binds. May she rule in peace. May she rule forever in time"
" Amen" the people said standing.
The Knights cascaded down the isle and raised there swords.
Just as quickly as them, a man in a grey tunic ran down the isle nearly tumbling down.
" The Queen" he panted "The Queen has passed"
It took all I had not too fall out then.
I couldn't show my feelings.
There was still the speech that needed to be given.
It was the same thing every coronation .
Except this time, it's not gonna be what they want too hear.
"Please sit and listen too you're new queen bestow her gratitude. Please mourn our great loss later" the priest muttered
"You want too hear what you've been told for ages. You want too hear that the world will change and we shall escape this poverty. I can't tell you that. Until I tell you this ." I said causing looks of shock on the council members.
"I am expected to show my personality and give you hope too wake up tomorrow , but I believe it's only fair too give you the reason I wake up every day. Not for my kingdom. Not for my job. It was always for my mother. Diana Raven. A woman who gave her heart. Her soul. Her very life. Too protect you"
People looked shocked but slightly pleased.
" She loved all. She hated none. You could be a murderer. A heartless bastard under the sun. Her words would still bring you too tears. Her ways would influence yours. Like a ray of sunshine. A beacon of hope. I will take this job. In hopes of being as great as her. Keep her legacy alive while I can. For the courage that binds. For truth and strength. I shall protect you all, but you shall never truly need me"
Was the last word spoken all day.
