Chapter 970 – Coronation of Venus Holympia ~ 2
The emperor of an empire where the sun never sets is omnipotent and must know everything.
There was a duty to know what kind of life all the people living in the empire were living and how they were spending their days.
Therefore, the coronation of the princess, which started from the lowest place, had an important meaning that could not be replaced by anything else.
“Mom always tells me to eat just a little bit! I really hate that!”
“Ah! Me too! Sometimes pretty girls come and make bread, so I can eat a lot…”
On both hands of the princess were children dressed in scruffy clothes.
Even in Holympia, the capital of the empire, there are slums that are not even dense and do not even have enough light.
The princess listened to the children’s words, which even gave off a bad smell, with a warm smile.
“Are there pretty girls who come under this bridge sometimes?”
“Wow! There are! Sometimes cool oppas come too!”
“Hehe, that’s right. You can eat a lot of food back then!”
“In the future, you will be able to eat better food and wear better clothes, so don’t worry.”
After stroking her children’s heads once, the princess stopped in front of her stained steps.
She, who was taller than the average nobleman, exhaled once and folded her body in half to make eye contact with her children.
“As expected, His Majesty Venus is conducting the coronation ceremony with sincerity…”
“Isn’t there really a need to hold the hands of children like that and even talk to them?”
“What are you talking about? Don’t be stupid. You are the one who shed blood and sweat to solve the refugee problem in Colonia, so are you going to pretend not to notice the problem in Holympia, which is no different from your home?”
Listening to the loud voices of the nobles, the princess hugged her children one last time.
“There are lows in Holympia, but every day doesn’t have to be this hard. I’ll do my best to help you live a better future.”
“Wow! Then can I eat something delicious tomorrow too?”
Haha!! Not only can you eat delicious food, but you can also wash yourself with soap!”
After ending the conversation like that, the princess was able to get out of the lowest place and walk through the light-filled streets of Holimpia.
The road was full of brightness and loud singing, which could be said to be her festival atmosphere. It was filled with people who came to see and congratulate the princess who had walked up from the lowest point.
“Long live Venus Holympia…!”
“Venus Holympia! You are beautiful!”
The princess’s voice of praise rang out loudly along with her boisterous laughter.
“You’re the princess…!”
In the midst of the noisy crowd, a child wearing a pink dress suddenly ran out and rushed at the princess.
Because her actions were quite sudden, the knights standing behind the princess were startled, but the princess simply smiled pleasantly and was unable to stop stroking her child’s head, so she lifted it up with one hand and held it in her arms.
“It seems like he’s a pretty strong kid.”
“Hehe, I wanted to talk to the princess like this!!”
The child smiled brightly and opened her hands wide.
“The princess! When you become emperor! Everything will change a lot! Mom and dad said that!”
“Ho. Have you heard that story? Look forward to it. The empire where the sun never sets will change a lot in the future.”
“Really? Then I can go to the Wizard’s Tower?”
The princess burst into laughter at the words of the brightly smiling child.
“Only smart children who study hard can go to the Wizard’s Tower. Have you studied hard so far?”
The person with the friendly voice was Ginaida Gregorio, who was rebuilding the Magica Kingdom.
“Well… I don’t like studying…”
“No matter how much the world changes, you can’t become a good wizard without studying.”
Zinaida smiled and stroked her child’s cheek.
“But if you listen to Mom and Dad carefully, you might be able to go to a kingdom full of wizards.”
“Really?”
“Well, if Queen Zinaida says she promised, you know what she means.”
Zinaida smiled and snapped her fingers, forming a pretty flower in her palm and placing it in her child’s hand.
“Wow… Wow! It’s a flower made of magic!”
The child burst out laughing brightly and jumped up and down! She got down from the princess’s arms with great momentum.
Then, as if she was planning to show off the flowers to her friends, she ran back into the crowded crowd at an incredibly fast speed and disappeared.
“I knew very well that young children were energetic, but this child had amazing energy.”
“I think the princess’s spirit of accepting such a child into her arms rather than kicking him out is also amazing.”
In response to Zinaida’s well-wishes, the princess smiled and approached her.
“On behalf of the Magica royal family that disappeared due to the tyranny of Emperor Jupiter, the woman who has temporarily assumed the important role of leading Trinity dares to participate in this coronation ceremony and offer her congratulations.”
“Don’t say things like that, Jinaida. Aren’t you carrying out the task of rebuilding the Magica Kingdom instead of running away from the sins you have committed? From now on, you will not fall into greed and walk the path I want to walk together. “
The princess took Zinaida’s hand and gently kissed the back of her hand.
Zinaida smiled at the warmth, took a step behind her, grabbed her dress, lifted it slightly, and bowed deeply.
“Thank you to the one who will become the emperor of the empire where the sun never sets.”
As soon as Zinaida gave her greeting, she naturally took a step aside and the princess slowly walked back toward the imperial palace in the distance.
“Wow… Oh my god. The rumor was true.”
“Kek! Are you really here? No, I heard that you participated in the subjugation of Emperor Jupiter and achieved great merit!”
“More than that! What kind of armor did those different races wear? They’re so shiny!”
The moment the princess passed through her ordinary street and entered her shopping district, the murmur of her words emanating from the crowd of people gathered around her became even stronger.
Fortunately, it wasn’t because of any incident or disturbance.
“I don’t think there was any need for the Queen to come out like this.”
“Still, it seems like there are people who welcome us~?”
It was a very small incident that occurred because of a different race that appeared in the middle of the imperial palace.
Those of different races who formally received the princess’s invitation did not reject the call but responded.
Of course, they had a place at this coronation ceremony, which boasted of opening a new era.
The princess walked forward, slowly taking in the mood of those people, and looked at Shadid, the queen of the elves, who was standing in front of Uriel and Ramael, who were wearing stylish weapons.
“You must have had a hard time coming from Gregory’s land to here. Welcome, Queen Shadid.”
“Thank you. Don’t worry. We elves have finally come out of the place called the land of other races and can talk to people like this. What could be more joyful and happy than this?”
Haha! Let’s do good things together with our people in the future.”
The princess smiled and took Queen Shadid’s hand and kissed her lips.
“Finally… Venus has accomplished something that has never been done before in the history of the empire on which the sun never sets.”
“Wasn’t there even one emperor who married someone of a different race?”
“She was just a woman who trickled into the empire. Venus was the first to officially establish diplomatic relations like this. From the beginning, the Kingdom of Gregory had left her to handle it on its own.”
Behind the princess’s back, Arisa whispered to Hedone and then applauded her with her sincerity.
“The old nobles may not know, but our new nobles are very welcoming to formal relations with other races.”
“Isn’t that because the number of products that can be sold has increased?”
Diana playfully made a V with her fingers while laughing and laughing.
“Would you like to come with me to the imperial palace? Wasn’t your help enough that I was able to become emperor?”
“Thank you. I understand. I will enjoy that honor without rejecting it.”
Queen Shadid smiled and kissed her princess’s cheek once, then stood next to her and started walking towards her imperial palace step by step.
“Ugh… That’s ridiculous. This kind of disgrace can’t happen! The elf bitches are nothing more than our slaves.”
“You’re talking nonsense! Are there any nobles who have made a futile plan to enslave elves in the past and ended up in great trouble?”
“Looking at it like this, I don’t think it’s that bad? It’s just beautiful.”
There were whispers from people who had not yet accepted the change, but most people did not express much dissatisfaction with the appearance of Queen Shadid.
There were people standing next to her with the princess, looking at her as she walked out majestically and applauding her, thinking that she was purely beautiful, while others took off the hat she was wearing for no reason and greeted her. There were also gentlemen who did.
“I’m relieved. As you said in your letter, I’m glad that more people than you think look at us with positive eyes.”
“I’m glad to hear that you are at peace. Don’t worry. In fact, all the people of the empire where the sun never sets don’t hate you if they don’t know much about you.”
As soon as she heard her princess’s words, Queen Shadid showed a very brief expression of concern in her eyes.
“I’m worried. My words may be helpful, but I’m sure Venus Holympia will accept people as she wishes.”
“No matter what it is, you can’t even start it, right? Don’t worry!”
Slap!
The princess slapped Queen Shadid’s butt as if she were playing, and there was not a trace of worry on her face.
Even though it was obvious that she would declare that she would get along well with her ‘demons’, whom most people in the empire would hate and fear, her heart was very peaceful.
The princess believed that just as she accepted her demons, many people in the empire would do the same.
