Afternoon arrives with the elegance of red color that amazes the eyes. The battlefield that was originally full of corpses and pools of blood was already clean in an instant. The troops from the three kingdoms were marching neatly gazing towards the north.
Far off in the far north end of Orsgadt, in the basin where Anthura once fell asleep due to Yhourin's magic, a mass funeral of war victims was underway. The Kings, nobles and knights lined up neatly to pay their last respects.
To the west, the newly freed Orsgadt people of Yhourin magic came out of the mouth of a cave with a puzzled look. During the war, they were held unconscious in huge underground caverns and had winding passageways. Erreandrey frees them from magic with the help of Verunum.
What a heinous deed Yhourin did. He uses the light of their lives as a source of energy for his magic. Had Emune not possessed the core of Elzenthum and Fairy King Dougraff remained unhelpful, it was certain they would all die.
Emune placed a flower on a large rock that read: Here lay the bodies of those who had fought for Orsgadt. There were no separate tombs for friends or opponents because for Emune, the two camps had indeed fought for Orsgadt even with different points of view.
Emune's tears trickled down seeing so many victims fall. He did not want something like this to happen but there was no other way. Yhourin's magic had blinded Orsgadt's entire army to the point of obeying his orders and Goenhrad, who was more like a puppet king, would not be able to fight him either. Emune wiped away his tears and in his heart he promised that after this he would restore the glory of Orsgadt.
Alfred's funeral was silent. He was buried under a tree on the hill Thorsca which had been used as a place to lean by Avena. It was in accordance with his message to Princess Mirena before the war. A large stone marked the tomb. His sword and shield were imprinted on the rock. Here lay a great knight of Eimersun's pride. Alfred Floyee Garsein, inscribed on the royal seal of Eimersun.
Mirena, Elric, Sean and Aiden kneel before the tomb as their final respects to the teacher and the man they already consider to be their own father. The sadness of Alfred's departure was clearly visible on their faces. Emune came with Proner, Fiona, Greg, Leonz, Avena and Horeen.
Leonz and Avena hand out small cups of apple cider that have been Alfred's regular drink since meeting Emune. They lined up on both sides of the tomb and toasted to Alfred and drank the cider. After that, they could only strengthen each other by holding hands and hugging each other.
The dawn this time came with a gentle light and warmth accompanying it little by little. The armies of the three kingdoms had departed for their respective kingdoms. The Imperia and Eimersun forces had no difficulty as they only needed to go down the border area. Unlike the army of Arsyna who had to travel a long distance to return to Arsyna.
Arsyna's forces returned to Arsyna led by two warlords. They brought the body of the Commander of Karnegat who will be buried in Arsyna. Erreandrey, Leonz's mother, created a portal that made it easier for the troops to return to Arsyna.
Orsgadt Palace which originally looked bleak because the image of Goenhrad and Yhourin magic now looks clean and shining. The light of the morning sun came in from the open doors and windows. Leonz clucked resentfully every time he found traces of Yhourin's magic. The little girl with her mother and Verunum were quite troubled to erase the evil magic of Yhourin.
Emune sat on a chair in the king's room which is now his room. A queen's room felt too lavish for her but she had to get used to it even more when Queen Adelaine insisted on helping her decorate for her coronation. Yes, today is the day of Emune's coronation as Grand Queen Orsgadt. She was the first woman of the descendants of the Great King Orsgadt to hold the throne.
Emune just smiled with a reddened face. Imagining being married to Elric alone can make her ashamed like this, especially if the marriage actually happened. Emune's chest feels warm.
“Mother, not finished?” ask Mirena. He knew for sure his mother would linger so soon followed to Emune's room. He looked up at his future brother-in-law. “Oh, wow! I have to stay close to Elric. It could be that the little boy brought Elizai eloped,” said Mirena still with a tone of admiration for the beauty of Emune.
“Do not tease me,” protest Emune. It was smoky because of Mirena's words. Her sister-in-law likes to talk all she wants. A little different from the image of a king's daughter who according to Emune is always polite, calm and authoritative.
“Hahaha, okay. Don't dawdle. I'm back in the hall,” Mirena said.
The royal hall of Orsgadt looks vibrant today. The royal flags fluttered softly at the sloping poles on the walls of the hall. The red carpet and the queen's throne were ready, as were the seats for the guests of honor. The sound of the drums being hit with a slow tempo from outside the hall signaled the coronation was about to begin.
Emune enters the hall accompanied by Arrand, her foster father. All took a breath looking at her beauty and elegance. Despite his young age, there was no doubting Emune's ability, moreover he had the core of Elzenthum then it was definitely the guardian of Artamea who was worthy of respect.
As expected by Mirena, her sister looked uneasy even as if she was going out of line. Fortunately, he had ordered Sean and Aiden to be on guard. Mirena smiled amusedly seeing Elric clucking in annoyance as Sean and Aiden held back his arm.
Emune, who appeared in the full dress of a blue, gold embroidered Orsgadt queen, was kneeling before Olevander. The sage raised the crown of the Great King Orsgadt which for a dozen years was stored in the king's chamber because it could not be used by Goenhrad who was not a descendant of the Great King Orsgadt.
As soon as it touched Emune's head, the actual crown was more suitable for use by men and it looked too big for her to suddenly turn into a pretty crown with the Phoenix emblem on the front. Yes, the crown is one of the Orsgadt Heirlooms given by Fairy King Dougraff so the shape and size will change according to the wearer.
After receiving Orsgadt's scepter, Emune sat majestically on his throne. A smile spread on Emune's lips. He looked at everyone in the hall with great joy and countless thanks from the bottom of his heart. Today, Elizai Murisie Nezca Orsgadt has officially become Orsgadt's first Grand Queen.
Glory to Orsgadt and Her Majesty the Queen.
