Bloody Eyes
|Bab 29|

— Daniela, is this really necessary? - Said Luana looking in the mirror while Dani tightened her dress with magic.

— Yes it's Moon! Today is the coronation and to be honest yesterday's wedding dress was too loose, a little loose.

“It does not look at all like a wedding dress, and is not loose. Now what you do is make this tight.

— You have a perfect body and you are ashamed of it? I envy you for having so many curves. Harvey doesn't know what he's missing...

"And you don't know, because you won't dare open your mouth."

"I won't tell him anything. Harvey's coming in with his own eyes tonight.

Luana laughs.

"You will see with your eyes and lick with your forehead."

"Really, Moon?"

“Dani, I did not marry of my own volition. That's for you, I said. I don't want anything to do with Harvey! We made a deal and we will live by it. He won't touch me and I won't touch him. He wants peace and I want respect.

—Aff! You two idiots, that's what happened! You're beautiful, amazing.he's beautiful, amazing! Are you married! What does this have to do with having a relationship?

I don't want him and he does. It's nice like that, please don't be complicated anymore! I'm also thinking enough squeezing this dress is enough unless you want me to suffocate.

Daniela stopped and looked at Luana in the mirror.

"Okay, Lun. You're perfect! But something is missing. - discreet. — Red dress must have such color to accompany it.. I know! - she turned Luana facing him. "When you go to the hall, change it!" Your red eyes look perfect in that dress.

— Dani, no... I didn't do it yesterday, why did it today?

“That's why. Did not do it yesterday, will do it today — with enthusiasm. - Perfect! I'm looking forward to seeing you crowned and giving away your sword! Lua, man, I'm so happy for you! Daniela jumped into Luana's arms, hugging him.

I'm not - desperate.

As Luana knelt before the throne—in front of Harvey—even to receive the crown, it was a shame for her. Those present were satisfied, but Luana was not. He found it all too ridiculous. To become queen, do you need so many words, so many vows? It seems that some people are not happy to see it there: most women. Are they Harvey's lovers? No problem, he thought, I had no business meddling in his life.

Finally, he sat on the throne beside Harvey, his golden crown mounted on a blood-red pomegranate stone on his head. I could feel the weight of the crown on my head - not heavy, not at all, it was reasonable, light compared to the actual weight covering Luana. He now feels, more than anything, attached to Harvey and accountable to the people. Not important, he thought. Harvey has sent Daniela to give him a message saying that he doesn't need to do anything for the kingdom — he will cover everything without them knowing.

"All right then. Tell him, by being like this, I won't care about what's going on in this place. Even if it collapses and the end of this world will come. I don't care", was what he snapped at Daniela, before saying that she wanted to stay alone the night before.

The crowd that had disappeared seemed to rumble again as something approached and rumble at the main part again. Luna's confused. What the hell's going on? It was then that she saw the gap between everyone and, smiling, Daniela left the crowd with an old man behind her. Lua recognized him: Alfred. The usual crooked nose and wrinkled skin made Luana certain, in addition to the pale smile that followed her.

Glancing down, he realized that he was carrying a beautiful black box that was large enough for a sword. That's her! Luana forgot that still on that day she would receive her sword. However, the crowd was curious. Many people try to guess what it is. Daniela's smile narrowed slightly as she had to bend, but as she recovered, it widened like before. He's glowing and excited.

— Luana — Daniela turns to her friend with a twinkle in her eyes. “Alfred has something to complete this special night. As promised, his sword had just been forged.

Lua smiled trying to look convincing when she heard that special word. Daniela retreated, giving her space, and Alfred stepped forward, kneeling.

— Your Highness, forgive me for this delay, but I hope you like it — he stops and everyone is silent watching. He cleared his throat and started to continue. “I don't mean to sound like insulting our beloved King. But our queen is at her height and even a little further ahead.Of many times, many centuries, I have never seen one so beautiful, with all due respect, and not so powerful. Yeah, strong. He's stronger than we can imagine.” There were agitated and excited voices. — I admit, Your Majesty, that I was amazed by such dexterity — she turned to Luana.

Lua smiled weakly, trying to hide her nervousness. Alfred cleared his throat again and carefully opened the box. Luana almost jumped when she saw what was there. From the corner of her eyes she glanced at the motionless Daniela, her eyes widening in surprise. Luana silently squeezed the dress with her hands. He was stunned and broke out in cold sweat. Why would Alfred give him his new treasure?

“This is my newest heirloom, my newest treasure. My greatest, best, most sophisticated invention - Alfred's raspy words echoed like deja vu, making Luana's stomach churn. I was anxious and tense. "It's a Bloody Eclipse." Luana's gaze floated inside the box where a sword and three daggers glittered behind the velvet. They were identical to the daggers Daniela saw on the day they went to Alfred's workshop. Black and detailed in gold and silver. "Both swords and daggers have the same power, but swords actually have greater authentication." He grinned satisfied. "But only the owner will know what they're doing when you touch them." But I can say that they have deadly power if handled well.

Luana stood up and narrowed her eyes at Harvey. His face was calm, but deep in his eyes he could see curiosity. Daniela, who even Luana had not realized had dispersed in the middle of the crowd, came out from the crowd again with the glove in her hands. It was encrusted with rubies as its crown. She approached the platform and started to bow, but Luana shook her head and she complied. He carefully placed it on Luana's waist while smiling.

"You haven't changed, but I'll ignore it" she whispered to Luana. - You're so lucky!

"I don't think I'm too excited about this" he whispered. “As you said, there may be not-so-good spells in it.

- Of course! But this is so good, it's amazing! He'll get a very big commission, I'll make sure.

And without a word, he walked away from the platform and Alfred got up, extending the box to Luana. He stretched out his hand hesitantly, but at the last second withdrew. I want to do something early. I wanted the moment to be a little more surprising, with a special touch. He took a deep breath, watching the crowd. She was sure Daniela would be happy with what she was going to do, so she smiled. He let the red veil cover his eyes, but controlled himself enough to show it. The other side, the Goddess side, was hidden, as desired. There was a huge commotion in the crowd, Luana did not care. He grabbed the box and smiled. Then, a blinding light took over the place and blinded Luana for a few seconds.
