213 – Jeongtal (2)
The season of snow has arrived again.
Shiron looked at his pocket watch in front of the iron gate, as if waiting for someone.
10:20… 6 hours have passed since I was left standing in the sleet. Siron put his pocket watch away as he felt several figures approaching towards him.
“Brother, if you don’t leave soon…”
What filled his eyes was Siriel, who, like him, was dressed as if she were going to some precious place.
A stylish white semi-coat and a cute light blue hat on his head. And the ceremonial sword strapped to her waist adds a twist, asserting that Siriel is not just a woman.
However, Siriel, whom Siron meets, is still a girl full of fresh energy.
The cold wind passed by my white cheeks, making me feel a little flushed, and the expression on my face was filled with concern that Shiron might catch a cold, so I just looked strange.
“…let’s go.”
Siron stopped waiting for his sister for a special fiancé.
Victor’s coronation ceremony held at the imperial palace. Lucia did not return from her trip today either. Since it was rare for all the powerful figures of the empire to gather together, it was hoped that Lucia would participate in the coronation, but the world was like a puzzle, so it never quite fell into place.
“Bow your head. I’ll brush your eyes off.”
“thanks.”
“What, with something like this?”
Siriel smiled brightly and adjusted Siron’s clothes. I brushed off the snow that had accumulated on my broad shoulders, and used magic to iron my coat, which was wrinkled from having my arms crossed all the time.
Anyone who sees it will feel affection for it. Siriel, who enjoyed the gazes of the employees lined up behind her, smiled, held Siron’s hand, and got on the carriage.
“Sesame seeds are pouring out.”
Latera, wearing mittens and a scarf, sat first in the carriage.
She also wanted to wait for Lucia by Siron’s side, but she couldn’t because Hugo took the initiative and dragged her into the carriage, in case she caught a cold.
For your information, all the winter gear she wore were prepared separately by Hugo, so even looking at him, Latera could not ignore Hugo’s kindness.
“That’s a compliment, right?”
“Of course. The love between a man and a woman regardless of time and place. It’s so nice to see.”
“Oh my, thank you~”
After answering, Siriel sat down next to Siron and showed off her affection.
Previously, Latera’s sarcasm would have made her uncomfortable, but perhaps because she was wearing an engagement ring, Siriel was able to easily ignore the thorn in her words.
Rattling-
After confirming that everyone was on board, the coachman whipped the whip. The world with its first snow passed by at a rapid pace.
“…is it okay if I attend?”
Siron, who had not taken his eyes off the window, spoke quietly.
Today, Victor’s coronation ceremony takes place at [Red Square] in front of the imperial palace. Not only the empire, but also influential figures from countries allied with Lien will come to check the face of the man who will become the next emperor.
“I have a feeling it would be better to just stay home with Seira…”
Siron was worried that an accident might happen because of him.
Although it has only been a little over a month since the apostle was eliminated, there is a possibility that he will continue to become involved with the apostle due to his reputation gradually building up.
“If not my brother, who else will attend?”
However, there was no way Siriel knew this fact. She wrapped her arms around her brother, who was acting passively for some reason, and chattered.
“It is a place where the supremacy of the empire is announced to the whole world. It is a place where powerful people from the continent naturally attend, and even money is exchanged to secure even the most precious seats. Of course, you should stand in the front row and watch.”
“is it…”
“Victor… Didn’t he even write a letter saying that he would like to come too? You owe a lot to your brother, so he said he reserved a seat with the best view. It would be a loss if you miss this opportunity.”
“…Mr. Siriel is right.”
Latera rarely agreed with Siriel’s opinion.
It was obvious that he intended to use the coronation ceremony to show off their relationship, but in the end, nothing was wrong.
“I understand that you are anxious about the heightened store. However, it is the world’s rule that good deeds are rewarded in some way.”
“…Is this the first time something like that has happened?”
“Look. If you do good karma and then misfortune comes, who on earth will do good karma?”
Latera spoke with her hands folded as if in prayer.
“Our Lord did not design the world that way. Of course, as the warrior said, we encountered an apostle without warning, but in the end, it all worked out well, right?”
“Oppa. Do you want some chocolate?”
“No matter what happens, good karma is bound to be rewarded, so even though I faced an apostle, that situation itself may have been the best move out of many cases.”
“Ah~”
“…So it might be better for something to happen. Maybe that event could be an opportunity to announce the hero’s identity to the world.”
“Let’s stop saying boring things, little angel. Aang~”
“That’s not funny!”
widely-
Latera was eaten with the hands rather than with the mouth.
Although she wanted to reject it, her body had already become a slave to the sweet snack.
“I’m doing important work right now. The hero is… so distraught!”
“Oppa, are you disturbed?”
“Huh? No, what…”
“You’re distraught! I saw it with my own eyes!”
“Then, I need to help you cheer up.”
Jjook- Side- Side-
Just as the bittersweet kiss was about to continue, the carriage carrying the group arrived at its destination. Siriel got off first and held out her hand to Siron without anyone saying anything.
“Isn’t this what I usually do?”
“Isn’t it better to do it this way because it makes more of an impression?”
“Wow, my eyes are really cold!”
“Our little girl should hold hands too, right?”
“I can do it alone.”
Latera jumped down and grabbed Siron’s other hand.
“Are you Siron Prien? Let me guide you.”
A man who appeared to be a member of the imperial family created a road by biting people. Siriel tightened her arms even more as she received the gaze of numerous influential people.
After moving like that for a while, the three were able to reach the center where the red carpet was spread.
There were so many people. Not only Margaret and other heads of prestigious samurai families were there, but also Igor, the commander of the expedition. What about the dean of the Imperial Academy?
In ‘Reincarnated Swordsman’, Siron was able to check whether many familiar faces were alive or dead, to the point where it seemed like all the people from the empire had gathered.
“Shiron, I was worried you wouldn’t come.”
Hugo and Eldrina were already at the center of the coronation ceremony.
“I said I would wait for Lucia…”
From noble mtl dot com
“I waited as long as I could, but unfortunately I couldn’t bring him.”
“…I can’t help it. It looks like it’s starting to start that way.”
Hugo held Siron and Siriel’s shoulders and raised their heads. Far away. I saw an old friend on the highest platform.
Gray hair, strangely reduced height. My hands were shaking as I picked up the trance.
‘…You’re old too.’
As the emperor raised his ecstasy, the hall instantly became quiet. Not only powerful people from other countries, but also common people who flock to see the precious dragon’s eye hold their breath.
The old emperor raised his hands for a long time, as if shouting that he was still alive and well.
His friend’s blurry eyes did not meet Hugo’s. Just looking at the end of the red carpet.
Victor Ado de Lien. A young man with an appearance that could only be described as noble was receiving the emperor’s attention.
The most handsome man in the empire, wearing a pure white uniform embroidered with gold thread, showing off his clear features and flashing gorgeous blonde hair. The blue eyes nestled in the slightly curved holes were so deep that it seemed as if they had already ripened.
Victor walked a red carpet and stood in front of the emperor. Victor looked down at the old emperor from the podium, as if showing that the crown prince had already grown up.
…Siriel knew that Viktor was conscious of this and also saw a completely different scene from others, but she did not step forward and just watched quietly.
‘Are you jealous? joy! It’s so weird.’
Although it was only a moment, I knew that my consciousness was clearly directed in this direction. Siriel proudly showed off her relationship with Siron.
Siron ignored his numb arm and stared at Viktor. Well… even to a man, he was a handsome guy. The handsome guy who made me jealous took the rapture and got down on his knees.
The emperor lifted the coronet that was placed on his head and placed it on the crown prince’s head.
———————–!!
A thunderous roar poured out.
Siron did not shout.
‘He has a good-looking face, a lot of money and power… he’s come close, but very.’
Unlike his clouded mind, Shiron pretended to be polite and only clapped his hands.
After a while, Viktor calmed the crowd by slowly raising his ecstasy.
The coronation did not end just because the trance was handed over and the coronation was placed. The final order, the ordination ceremony to give allegiance to the new emperor remained.
Those who would enjoy the honor of holding the ordination ceremony at the coronation ceremony were notified in advance, so those who did not qualify had expectations of who would go up to the podium.
By the way, Viktor glanced under the podium, and didn’t he meet Chiron’s eyes? At that, Shiron tilted his head, and a smile appeared on the handsome young man’s mouth.
Shiron’s heart sank for a moment.
However, contrary to the suspicion that my name would come out, the name Viktor spat out pointed in a different direction to an unexpected person.
-Cyriel Prien.
The name that came out of the mouth of the emperor caused a stir in the hall. Shiron as well as Siriel didn’t know why, so only a question mark appeared on his face.
‘what? ‘Why are you calling my name?’
As he pondered his dubious feelings, Eldrina, who was standing behind him, tapped on Siriel’s shoulder.
“…mother?”
“Get out now, baby. Didn’t His Majesty call your name?”
Siriel came forward as if pushed and stood in front of Viktor.
And for a moment, their lips touch each other several times as if they were having a conversation.
Siron had no way of knowing what the two were talking about, but seeing Siriel biting her lip… Siron was also able to easily infer that the content was unusual.
-Siriel Prien!
A loud cry.
– Support the empire with the sharpest sword!
Siriel knelt down.
