Chapter 365
TL: Zimmings
Two months later.
After I had a month-long vacation, I was busy preparing for the coronation.
The declaration of the founding of the country was made early, but the coronation ceremony had been postponed until I returned.
Some officials objected, but most agreed.
The coronation ceremony attended by me, the first contributor of the country will be a symbol of peace.
‘Yeah, they wouldn’t have expected that I’d be back in three years.’
For that reason, my father was still wearing the Dubblede crown.
Chul-soo was excited.
“It’s my first time attending the coronation.”
“Doesn’t the king of your world have a coronation?”
“It’s an appointment ceremony. And very few people can see directly.”
“I see.”
While answering, I checked the documents the whole time.
My family was really busy preparing for the coronation ceremony.
Those who contributed to the founding had to properly practice for this ceremony.
There are also nobles who have already been crowned at the founding ceremony, but the land and position have not yet been confirmed, but this time it will be decided. The temporary position will also be confirmed.
Chul-soo shook his head when he heard the reason why me and my brothers, mom and dad couldn’t rest properly.
“It seems that the servants need to go in and out of the palace for the ceremony.”
“Yes. Above all else…”
I muttered as I put the papers on my chin.
“Now that the country has been strengthened, the real internal battle begins.”
“It’s terrifying.”
“Yes.”
I beckoned to Reina in response.
“Reina, have you finished checking the development department?”
“Of course. There’s no problem. But, Princess…”
“Yes?”
As Reina smiled, my four maids came with huge bouquets.
It was really, really a big bouquet of flowers. Just enough for the four of them to hold it.
Seeing the bouquet full of wildflowers, I widened my eyes.
“What’s this?”
“There is a card inside.”
I quickly checked the card.
[With love. Your sea cucumber.]
‘Ah, Adrian.’
It seemed to bother him that I propose first.
I laughed and looked at the bouquet of wildflowers lovingly. Reina said in a gentle voice.
“It seems that the whole flower garden has been moved here.”
After looking at silver bellflower, violet, and many other wildflowers,
I said, “Ah…”
I let out an exclamation.
The maids asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“Well, it’s a secret.”
“Huh?”
“I will leave this memory as my own.”
Those were the flowers that were blooming on the mountain where I first met Adrian.
‘It’s pretty romantic.’
The maid said, “That’s mean!” but when Reina, who was laughing, clapped her hands and said, “Okay, disband!” they were forced to disperse.
A day before the coronation.
My daily life was still peaceful.
***
On the day of the coronation.
“Uh, uh, what should I do?”
Seria was more nervous than I was, and she didn’t know what to do. Louis Noanoke next to her gently swept her back
“How could Sese at hope mercenary guild be nervous for something like this?”
After I said that, Seria burst into tears.
“But I will be a noble!”
“You helped us when we face crisis in Dubblede. It’s natural to be crowned.”
“But the leader was lady, no, princess, and I only did what I was told…”
“You suffered more than me. Without you, there would be no hope mercenary guild.”
“Princess…”
As soon as she cried, a video tool appeared in the sky. It signaled the beginning of the coronation ceremony.
The hall where the coronation ceremony took place has a unique structure.
From the stairs in the center, roads were connected to the east, west, south, and north in an X-shape.
Us siblings were seated at every end of the road east, west, south and north.
I was in the east
To the west is Isaac.
Henry on the south.
Johann in the north.
Toot-!
The trumpet cried.
When my father and mother appeared, everyone bent their knees at once. And the brodcast began.
At the end of the roads, each of the courtiers appeared behind us.
Johann and his courtiers were wearing capes with scale patterns on their backs. He said it meant that they would establish principles and reason correctly in this country.
Henry and his courtiers was wrapped in a moon and cloud-patterned capes around their backs. I heard that it means they will protect Dubblede even in the dark.
Isaac and his courtiers have robes with double swords. It is worthy of Isaac’s ambition to become the guardian of the country.
While me and my courtiers…….
“Etwal?”
“Isn’t that the pattern of Etwal?”
‘Yes, it’s etwal for me.’
I didn’t forget the blessing that the sweet god gave me.
In a world without god, me and my descendants will protect this country on behalf of my sweet god.
Each time the drum sounded, dad and mom climbed the stairs one step at a time and were asked questions by the nobles.
56 steps.
The number of the manor in Dubled.
So, the 56 people guarding the stairs are the nobles who will protect the manor.
Most of them were vassals such as Dubos, Myshank, and Noanoke, some of them are like Juliet and Wale, an immigrent. Evoys from other countries watched my parents answering questions.
From Mojas, the older sister of Juliet, who became the new queen came directly. I need to thank her.
My friends from Odis Academy came. From Waynes, Gahong, and Athar Tribe, and from the empire… … .
“…….”
“…….”
Adrian and I saw each other. Adrian and me smiled at each other. Behind Adrian, I saw Cecilia and Tri waving at me.
Cecilia became the empress. Her niece, Tri, remained in the empire. She doesn’t want to be separated from her family, and she will stay to protect the beggars.
The last person to question the king and queen was the chairman.
“Will you be able to defend this country by becoming a strong monarch who is not shaken by external pressure?”
Dad and mom looked at each other. My mother laughed, and my father, who looked a little cold also burst into laughter.
In fact, he seemed to be nervous.
Dad answered.
“I’m willing to give my whole life for that.”
Mom also said,
“I’ll give my whole life for it.”
When Noanoke stepped down, and my mom and dad climbed the last step, thunderous applause erupted.
Even in the square far away, where the magic mirror was installed, I heard shouts.
It was a very ordinary child that will put a gold crown on my mother and father’s head.
A four-year-old little girl living on the street.
The servants told him to receive a crown from Baal, the most powerful devil but his father shook his head firmly.
Some people clicked their tongue because it was useless stubbornness, but I vaguely knew why my dad insisted it.
That child reminded me of my previous lives.
So my father insisted on an ordinary child, meaning that no Dubblede people would be hungry and search the trash can.
At the same time, it meant that the people were on the throne.
And…
‘It means paying respect to myself.’
My heart swelled.
I remember the days when I whispered to myself that tomorrow would be fine, and it have come true today.
The child said like what she had learned in the castle for a few days.
“Your Majesty, please be a good king.”
It gathered the hearts of the people.
“Yes.”
As the wind blew, petals and leaves fell from the elsa tree surrounding the outer hall scattered.
The light wrapped around the tree.
I looked at Adrian.
‘It must be a gift from Gremory.’
Adrian smiled faintly and nodded.
A knight appeared in front of us and took us to the centre.
It was our turn to be asked, and it was Leah who appeared in front of me.
After meeting Reina again, Lea devoted her life to protect us.
In recent months, in the mountains near Dubblede Castle, she had been subjugating the monsters with Irie.
Her body was wounded when dealing with the monster, but the wound disappeared when she touched elsa tree.
“A person who will serve the king and become the foundation of the country. Will the country take precedence over anything else?”
“Yes.”
The sword of the north was withdrawn.
“Would you not mind doing bad things and dream of revitalizing the country rather than your own interests?”
“Yes.”
The southern sword was withdrawn.
“Will you not spare your life for the welfare of the country and defend the country against foreign enemies?”
“Yes!”
The sword of the west was withdrawn.
And it’s her turn.
The first person I loved in this life asked.
“Do you love this country?”
It was a different question from my brothers. I opened her eyes and looked up at Leah.
Leah asked again with the smile I loved the most.
“How much do you love this country?”
“…….”
“…….”
My heart was pounding and I was out of breath.
I felt like I was back as a child.
I remember Lea in a maid’s uniform in front of me, and I feel like I’m become a four years old in front of her.
“A lot.”
“…….”
“A lot. A lot!”
I answered like a child, but those who saw me burst into laughter.
I heard laughter from the square too. Some cried as if they were touched, and others looked at me proudly.
Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump-!
The drum was hit and my father took a step forward and shouted.
As Wale, Veronica, and Juliet reached the stairs, his voice rang out loudly.
“Listen.”
The people bowed their heads.
“The fact that I chose the kingdom name as Dubblede is not to give my family glory.”
Dad looked around and spoke to the people.
“I gave my family name to all my people, sharing the name so that we would not yield to any external pressure and adversity as long as I live. Listen, the people of Dubblede. I promise you all a life where none of my people would bow to other countries. I will regard you as my children and take precedence over beliefs and ideals.”
Dad smiled sweetly.
‘Now who will see him as a villain?’
I looked at my brothers at the end of the road.
‘Now who will see them as villains?’
I smiled brightly as I looked at the villains I had raised.
We have gone through many adversity. There will probably be a lot of adversity in the future.
But I will never give up and move on.
Even though it’s a meaningless challenge, I won’t give up even if I get pointed, tripped, and hurt.
Everyone has a chance, and I know that if I struggle desperately, I can get a chance.
My story is the proof of it.
In the end, we lived happily ever after.
***
A sunny day in the distant future.
A curly-haired girl walked down the hallway gloomily.
The child was gloomy, but when she heard a familiar voice behind her back, she turned her head.
“Renosha.”
The woman with curly brown hair, walking from behind the child, stared at the child with her bent eyes.
“M-Mom…!”
“Did you pee on the bed?”
“I was wong! I’m sowwy.”
As the child fell, a handsome middle-aged man with blonde hair walked from the end of the hallway.
“You nag her too much.”
“It’s only three times this week. You can’t educate a child just by loving them, Adrian.”
“But…….”
“That’s why I told you not to put her to sleep after you told her a scary story.”
When the mother got mad at the father, the child looked up and said,
“Renoshwa asked him to do it. But, tawking about it is interesting… don’t scold daddy.”
As soon as the child started crying, a loud voice came from downstairs.
“Kid! The most handsome uncle is here!”
“You’re not handsome.”
“Renosha. I brought you a present.”
I heard “Ah!” as if they were pushed away. Then someone shouted loudly,
“My puppy! Grandpa’s here!”
“Father, you ran away again! How angry would the queen be this time!”
“My puppy! I bought you a toy store!”
When the woman burst into laughter, the child said,
“Does mommy hwate Renoshwa…?”
The woman, who was looking at the child soon laughed as if she couldn’t help it.
I hugged the child and said,
“No. I love you too much.”
“Renoshwa also love you.”
The child’s expression brightened in an instant. The child with her arms shouted.
“I awso lwike the dyuke!”
When the blonde man smiled and asked, “What about your dad?” the child laughed.
My happy days were still continuing.
The end.
