"Then, can you help me disguise and cover up these two things on my head that are in the way?"
"...This thing seems to be really hard to cover up, and your eyes are different from before."
"Is that right?"
Osen sighed helplessly after hearing what Franca said.
"So, I can only do this now."
"But anyway, I have a nocturnal creature like you to accompany me, so it's not too boring."
Franka was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then turned her head away.
"I don't think this is a compliment!"
Chapter 72: Queen (4K)
A few days passed, and after Elsa held the funeral of Arthas and announced the official version of the political struggle, it was finally time for her coronation.
In the early morning, Elsa sat alone in the palace, and behind her was Afro, who had been with her for a long time.
"I didn't expect that Elsa, you are going to become the queen now."
Afro said with emotion while helping Elsa braid her hair.
Elsa sat in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, and barely managed a smile.
For her, the price she paid to ascend the throne was too high.
And many people paid much more than her to help her ascend the throne.
"I don't know if it's worth it, Afro."
Elsa reached out and gently held Afro's hand on her shoulder.
Afro could feel that Elsa's palm was very cold, which didn't look like she was happy or pleased.
"Too many people died because of me."
"Too many people paid a price that they didn't have to pay because of me."
"At this time, are you still saying such depressing words? My Queen?" Afro said so, sighed, and then comforted:
"Don't you believe in my divination the most? In my divination, your future will be accompanied by all kinds of ups and downs, but everything will be rewarded in the end."
"Everything is the same as the trajectory of divination, isn't it?"
"But, among the many stars, I am not the one surrounded by the stars, right?"
"No one is."
Afro shook his head.
"All stardust has its own trajectory. It seems that some stars surround a star for a lifetime, but isn't that star also surrounded by other stars?"
"So, you astrologers use some mysterious neutral words to confuse people. You have said all the good and bad words, so of course you won't make mistakes."
Elsa couldn't help complaining.
"Hey, come on, come on, cheer up. Today is your coronation day. How can you be so sad on such an occasion?"
Afro cleverly avoided answering Elsa's question directly and patted Elsa on the shoulder instead.
"By the way, now that the throne issue has been resolved for you, the next step is to start thinking about the issue of succession, right?"
"Successor?" Elsa was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm still young... I haven't thought about this issue."
"Eh? That won't do~" Afro said, putting his hands on his chest and making a big cross.
"As an emperor, the stability of the empire is the top priority, and within the stability of the empire, having an heir is the most important thing. However, considering that you don't have a husband yet, wouldn't it be better to marry one first?"
"Hey, Elsa, let me ask you, do you have someone you like? If so, you can take advantage of the fact that you are now the queen and confess to the other person directly. There will be no problem."
"..."Elsa was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then her face flushed, and she shook her head quickly.
"No...no, I haven't thought about this problem yet. Besides, no...it's impossible!"
"Oh? How do you know it's impossible if you haven't thought about it? Or, Elsa, you really have your own candidate in your heart?"
Seeing that she was getting more and more confused the more she explained, Elsa simply shook her head directly, and then said: "It's not what you think! Okay, Afro, let's not mention this question!"
Seeing that Elsa was so determined not to answer this question, Afro could only shrug helplessly, and then sighed.
"Well, anyway, it's almost time now. You should go out and meet your subjects."
"Yeah." Elsa nodded.
She took a few deep breaths, adjusted her mood, and looked at herself in the mirror again. Her makeup was exquisite, her hairstyle was elegant, and her whole body exuded a noble temperament.
Although it may sound a bit conceited, at this moment, she seemed to be the most beautiful person in the world.
The power of the empire has been firmly grasped in her hands.
Elsa stood up, and then walked out accompanied by Afro.
Originally, relatives should have attended the coronation day, but Elsa now has no relatives.
The so-called distant relatives and collaterals are already separated by countless generations, and they have long been quite estranged from each other.
When she entered the hall, Pope Levi had already stood in front of the throne waiting for Elsa. Seeing Elsa coming, he held up the crown next to him.
On both sides of the hall, hereditary nobles and imperial officials stood respectively.
When Elsa walked towards the Pope, they all knelt on one knee and looked down at the ground.
This scene was much more magnificent than Arthas's hasty coronation before.
Elsa walked step by step to the Pope, then stood still and put her hands together.
Then, she bowed her head slightly, closed her eyes and said:
"The great goddess is above, protecting every one of our imperial subjects."
Hearing this, Pope Levi also raised the crown in his hand high, and then he shouted loudly with full energy:
"The great goddess is above! May the goddess's blessing always be in her kingdom, and may the goddess's light always shine on her believers!"
Then, he gently placed the crown in his hand on Elsa's head.
Then, he made way so that Elsa could sit directly on the throne.
After seeing Levi make way, Elsa moved gently and walked to the throne, then sat down gently, holding the scepter in her hand, which symbolized the royal power, and tapped the ground gently.
Almost in an instant, the ground changed, and a water-blue light flashed from the center of the hall, and then many people's eyes stopped on it.
For many people, even the powerful may only have one chance to witness the coronation ceremony in their lifetime.
After the water-blue light symbolizing the royal color gradually dissipated, it also meant the official end of the coronation ceremony. At this time, the nobles and officials present knelt on the ground and saluted Elsa.
"Congratulations to my emperor on his coronation! I wish my emperor a long life and long rule!"
Elsa waved gently, and at this time, everyone returned to standing from the kneeling posture.
She glanced at the crowd, as if looking for someone in it, but in the end, it seemed that she didn't find anyone, and her eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
Yes, with his current physical condition, how could he appear in front of the public?
The next process was for the six dukes to greet the queen separately.
Until the last Duke of Naples, Orson, whom Elsa was expecting, did not appear, but Naples' Prime Minister Chelinina appeared in front of Elsa.
"Your Majesty... Duke Orson was seriously injured in the last battle and is still recuperating. On behalf of Duke Orson and all the subjects of the Duke of Naples, I would like to say hello to you."
"No problem." Elsa shook her head, then smiled and said:
"Tell Duke Orson for me later to take care of his body. He is the pillar of the empire and must take good care of himself."
"I will, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Chelinina also smiled and then retreated.
This is only part of the coronation process. Next, Elsa will go to Saint Laurent City as the new queen to meet her subjects and give a speech in the central square.
After becoming an emperor, it will be even harder...
On the other side, in the basement.
"If I'm not mistaken, the current time should be the time for Elsa to ascend the throne." Franka said this while looking at Orson lying on the bed.
"Why are you telling me this? I can't go out now." Orson looked at the book in his hand and replied simply, as if he was really not interested in it.
These days, Orson has been able to get out of bed and walk normally, the horns on his forehead are slowly getting smaller, and his eyes have returned to normal.
Except for some unknown black patterns on his arms, everything else is slowly returning to normal. It is expected that it will be normal in a few days.
But what worries Orson is his own strength. Rather than saying that it has not fully recovered, it is better to say that it has not recovered at all.
He now feels that any person with a stronger physique can knock him down, and he can't use magic.
Falling all the way from the sky to the bottom of the valley, this feeling is definitely not good.
"Eh? Don't say that~ Elsa is the emperor you spent so much money to support, don't you want to see what she looks like when she wears the imperial robe?"
"This kind of thing... is not bad."
"So you really want to wear the imperial robe yourself?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Orson rolled his eyes at Franka unhappily.
It seems that because of her age, Franka has no fear of anything. This attitude is okay in Orson's eyes, but if it falls into the eyes of others, they will more or less think that Afro is disrespectful to others.
Especially when the object of disrespect is the current Queen.
Orson climbed up from the bed, then went upstairs, got some food and returned to the basement.
"So this is where you usually live?"
After returning to the basement, Orson asked.
"Yeah." Franka nodded.
Orson stood there, staring at Franka for a long time, and then said with emotion:
"She looks so harmless, but she likes to live in such a dark and damp corner..."
"Hey, what you said is very rude! The habits of each race are different! Besides, I can live in the places where you humans live, I just prefer here..."
Franka heard what Orson said and quickly explained
"...Really."
Osen nodded indifferently.
This made Franka angry again.
"Hey! It was you who brought up the topic, why don't you talk about it now?"
"Because it's not necessary." Orson said this and lay back on the bed.
"I just need to know what I want to know."
"It's really infuriating." Franka complained in a low voice, as if she was angry with Orson, and went upstairs.
After Franka left, Orson raised his head, glanced at the door of the basement, and then continued to read the book in his hand.
As night fell, the coronation ceremony that lasted for a day finally ended. Elsa returned to the palace with a tired body and lay on her bed, but she couldn't fall asleep.
On the one hand, this was a place where she, her father and her brother lived together day and night. Now suddenly she was the only one left, and she was still a little uncomfortable.
On the other hand, she suddenly recalled what Afro said to her today.
Now that she has become the queen, the heir to the empire must be a problem.
If she doesn't want to give the position of heir to another family, she must find a husband as soon as possible.
Only in this way will the ministers and local nobles not worry about the issue of heirs because she is already married and still young.
On the contrary, it is estimated that within a few years, many ministers will write to ask her to get married as soon as possible, and may even force her to arrange a blind date.
In this case, the first person Elsa thought of was of course Orson, who had saved her in the snowfield, stood by her wholeheartedly in the royal succession war, and even paid a huge price for it.
To be honest, if Orson had not been engaged to Olivia, Elsa would really launch an offensive against Orson, and might even directly make an engagement with Orson.
But the problem facing Elsa now is very complicated.
