Chapter 222

Is that so?

No problem?

But why...

In such a "calm" and "beautiful" process, Will will feel a little uneasy, even though there is obviously no uneasy element around him...

Will thought about this question and turned to look at Treya next to him.

She looked sideways at the cheering people outside the window, stretched out her half-gloved hand, and waved hello outside.

"Hello."

She kept a "smile" outward, dignified and serious. Although it was just a simple parade in a carriage, she did show the image of a queen capable of taking on great responsibilities.

but……

Will looked at her black skirt and the stockings that had just been raised above her knees, slightly revealing the white flesh of her half-elf.

She is wearing black.

The black color is incompatible with the surroundings.

Since only her upper body was exposed, the people outside the carriage should not be able to see her clothes. Only Will could see it very clearly inside the carriage.

She was obviously the one who was crowned in this ceremony, but she was wearing such a long black dress? As if you were going to a funeral?

"Treya, why are you wearing the clothes..."

Before he could finish his words, Treya, who had been saying hello just now, suddenly approached Will and looked at Will with her light blue eyes.

light blue eyes…

Yes, the color of Treya's eyes was indeed that. He had seen it countless times, a color that was only found in clear half-elves.

Will was a little overwhelmed by Treya who suddenly came over and stared into her eyes and blinked.

etc……

Is her left eye purple?

No, it... turned back to light blue again. Did you have an illusion...?

Will thought, his eyes were a little drowsy, and he touched his forehead.

What was he going to say to her just now?

oh!

right!

yes……

Compliment her! This outfit of hers really matches her perfectly! At such an important time, you need to wear such beautiful clothes!

Treya looks great no matter what she wears!

His words were not spoken, but Treya seemed to have understood him and smiled with satisfaction.

Then, he gently placed his palm on Will's left hand.

So, in the crowded carriage, Treya's shoulder exposed by her skirt gently touched Will's cheek.

But what Will was thinking about wasn't over yet. Treya took his hand and put his right hand on her sock.

"Treya?"

"You seemed a little sleepy just now. Will this...will you feel a little more energetic?"

While doing this action...

Her other hand gently opened the curtain so that no one could see the two of them being too intimate in the carriage——

She rested her head on Will's shoulder, acting coquettishly at him as if she was tired from the constant greetings just now.

"Well, I suddenly felt sleepy, and I even seemed to have seen something strange. Are you... tired?"

"No."

Judging by her tone, Will knew she was trying to be brave.

"It doesn't matter. After walking this street, we should go back to the palace. Once we get to the coronation hall, we won't need to deal with this anymore."

"good."

Will looked out of the car.

It's strange, it seems that after feeling a little sleepy just now, the world he sees becomes brighter and more beautiful.

This "coronation ceremony" must represent the beautiful future given by Treya.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The auditorium that served as the final stop for the coronation ceremony was beautiful!

Compared to the previous ones who came here for the crown ceremony, the auditorium now was decorated in white. It looked more like a scene prepared for an "engagement ceremony" than a coronation.

Flowers of various colors surrounded the center of the auditorium, and the sunlight filtering through the stained glass on the ceiling illuminated Treya.

Will stood next to Treya who took the oath, and he listened to Treya reciting the oath that every successor must recite.

Then……

"The next step is also the last step in my coronation ceremony. Your Holiness, please take down the top pot."

When she said this, Treya's tone seemed a little happy.

I was so happy as if I had been waiting for this for a long time.

……Um?

Will seemed to have never heard of such a part of the coronation.

but……

It seems that everyone is "very happy", "smiling" and "relaxed" waiting for this event.

Looking around, everyone has an expression of "joy" on their face!

Even the Pope was so "excited" that he tremblingly took down the highest pot!

Will looked at Treya who took the weird-looking black pot. She was also very happy.

He must not understand the coronation ceremony very well. This must be a very, very, very important part!

"I also hope to bring some new ideas and thoughts when I take office. Now... it's probably 'destroy all the old and useless things'."

"For example, all of us know that the Entak family's 'divine pot' does not actually represent the 'goddess'!"

Stab——

Treya took out a sword from her waist.

Will felt that it looked familiar, but he could not find any information about it in his "memories". The blade was all black, and the hilt was wrapped with bandages.

She swung the sword and smashed the already tattered pot into pieces!

Crackling---

Its pieces fell all over the floor, and the broken porcelain pieces even passed through Treya's long skirt, but did not cut her skirt.

Will looked at this scene in a daze.

[Is there something wrong? Is she the Treya you know? ]

[Is she the perfect Treya you think she is? ]

[She... is she really like this in your memory? ]

But no one objected to what Treya did.

There was sparse applause on the field, but Will saw that Treya's brothers and sisters who "loved her" did not seem to applaud.

"And, I want to announce the most important thing..."

Will had not yet come out of the shock just now, and Treya took his hand and walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

Then, Treya picked him up lightly in front of everyone.

That's right.

The former "princess" was holding her fiancé in a princess hug under everyone's eyes.

This action was too eye-catching. Will could already feel the flashing lights under the stage. All newspapers in the Entak Empire did not miss this biggest news.

"I officially announce the news of my engagement with Will Systrom--"

He raised his head and looked up at Treya's profile from bottom to top.

In the sunlight slanting down through the colored glass, Treya's black earrings seemed to flash with colorful halos.

"As for the wedding, it will be scheduled for a month later."

"I hope that everyone present can sincerely wish us happiness."

She smiled.

After saying these words, she gently put Will down, but one hand was still clasped with his.

In Will's eyes, Treya, who would only act coquettishly to him when they were alone, was like "claiming sovereignty", "showing off to others", and "taking revenge on someone".

Under the bright flash, in the quiet atmosphere, in the white auditorium, she came over, not giving Will a chance to speak or agree, and gently lowered her head, just like their usual private kiss...

Full of pure love, she kissed him.

...

Like a dream.

Like a beautiful dream.

Like a beautiful dream shining into reality.

He and the perfect princess he had been in love with for many years were engaged.

They would be blessed by the whole country of Entak.

He finally got the love he had dreamed of for many years.

But...

Will stood in the auditorium. After every important banquet or ceremony, the Entak royal family would leave a "tea time" for free communication instead of just leaving.

Will was holding a glass of red wine, standing at the edge of the entire venue. He looked at Treya, who was surrounded by various wealthy businessmen, politicians, and nobles from neighboring countries, who gave her "courtesy" blessings.

[Don't you think that something has gone wrong so far? Is there something wrong? ]

[Do you really feel "happy" and "happy"? ]

"What happened...what happened..."

[Think about it again? ]

"Obviously...Obviously I feel very happy..."

[Is this really a beautiful dream? ]

"I feel very happy..."

[Do you really...]

"I feel that I like her so...so much..."

[Have I fallen in love with her? ]

"That's right..."

Will put down the wine glass that was already full of wine, poured himself a glass of orange juice again, and drank it all.

"Is it...because of the wine? No...Since I woke up from that dream this morning,...something is wrong."

He is no longer a child, and it is strange to drink orange juice here.

But he felt thirsty - especially after taking deep breaths to calm the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
