Chapter 77 - The Coronation (1/2)

The day of the coronation came. They were seated in the middle while Jaden and Peggy were in front. They needed to sit with the royal family so Peggy was a little pissed with that arrangement.

Nina looked around the throne room, trying to check for familiar faces. But she didn't know most of them. The room was surrounded with royal guards and A.E Corporation's men were also there but dressed as guests or servants.

The throne room can accomodate a thousand guests or more but since there would be a possible attack, Kyle ordered to have around two hundred people only and that includes them, the royal family, and A.E Security Team.

All other guests and the people of Flousia could only watch the ceremony through a live broadcast. Media Tech, owned by the Jackson Clan, was the only media who was allowed to record the ceremony.

Once the Mafia start the attack, Media Tech will cut the broadcast but will continue to record what was happening inside the palace. There were a lot of hidden cameras that were secretly installed.

Nina felt so guilty, knowing that she reported everything to Paolo. She didn't notice she was in deep thought when she felt Andrew's hand on hers.

”Are you nervous?” He asked.

Nina shook her head and smiled at him.

”I'm fine.” She simply answered.

Then they heard the entrance door slowly opening.

'Thud! Thud!”

”Announcing! Your Royal Highnesses, Crown Prince Kyle Theodore Hulls and the Crown Princess Emily Blair Nitori Hulls!” The Royal announcer shouted.

Kyle and Emily walked down the center aisle with a red carpet on it. They slowly entered, walking towards the throne.

In front was the Archbishop who will officiate the ceremony, dressed in a red robe. On his right side was a glass square box where the King's Crown, Flousia's Orb and Scepter were.

Nina couldn't hide her happiness and excitement when she saw Emily who was as elegant as ever, and beside her was Kyle.

It was magical. Nina couldn't believe that she would be one of the guests to witness a real life prince and princess oath taking. She was staring at the couple gracefully walk towards the archbishop.

Kyle and Emily stopped in the middle and vowed before continuing. Peggy said it was tradition that they needed to bow three times as they walked towards the front.

They made the second bow and continued to walk. When they were in front of the Archbishop, they made their last bow and kneeled.

”Your Majesty, are you now ready and willing to take the oath?” The Archbishop asked.

”I am willing.” Kyle answered.

The Archbishop walked closer in front of Kyle and started the coronation oath taking.

”Will you solemnly promise and swear to govern the People of Flousia according to their respective laws and customs?”

”I solemnly promise so to do.” Kyle answered in a firm voice.

”Will you promise to use your power for the welfare of your people and not for your own interest?” The archbishop asked again.

”I will.”
