Coronation

The hall was already decorated with the slogans and symbols of the Sinclair kingdom. The seats of honor were also lined up on either side for the nobles in attendance. The seats for Swana and Curtis were at the front.

Within minutes, all the seats were filled. Swana, Curtis and Yerenika sat in a row in the special seats. Meanwhile.

"I'm really looking forward to this coronation," whispered Yerenika.

Swana chuckled, she knew how Yerenika felt. She felt the same way.

"I hope you will accompany Noel and give him lots of advice. I see Noel is still swayed by the opinions of the nobles."

"Yes, I will definitely keep an eye on him," Yerenika whispered.

"In fact, the throne is more suitable for you than that unstable man," Curtis said, surprising Swana and Yerenika.

Yerenika knew that Curtis' conversation led to Noel's rather greedy desire for the throne.

"That's not true. Noel is still unfamiliar with politics but I'm sure that he will learn and become wiser." That was certainly Yerenika's hope. She said her opinion while sweating. Talking to Curtis was very stressful.

"I hope so too. A fussy king will only bring his kingdom to ruin. Just like your father did. "

Yerenika was silent, she had heard what her father had done. But she didn't hate Curtis because the one who killed her father was Killian. And Curtis only destroyed the magic tower as well as seizing the sovereignty of the Sinclair kingdom. However, it does not rule out the possibility that Curtis would have finished off his father if Killian had not staged a coup.

"Honey, look the ceremony is about to begin," Swana tried to break the bad mood caused by Curtis' cold and cynical attitude.

Curtis finally turned his eyes towards the saint who was reciting a prayer. Then asked Noel for the oath. After that, he asked Swana to come forward to the center of the hall to put the crown on Noel. All of this was done carefully. Finally, Noel officially became a king and held the scepter as well as the symbol of the Sinclair kingdom.

"Long live King Sinclair!"

"Long live King Noel!"

The shouts of joy echoed in the hall. Then it spread outside the palace. Fireworks were set off to signal that the festival celebrating Noel's accession had begun.

Swana was so happy that she hugged Curtis.

"We'll finally have a quiet life in the north. "

"Yes."

Curtis was saddened by the fact that they were still being targeted while in the north. So he began to think hard so that no attacks would disrupt the north.

The party started. Noel asked Swana to dance but was immediately stopped by Curtis. Finally, he asked his sister to dance because he didn't want to see Curtis' gloomy aura.

"God, Curtis is so possessive."

Yerenika chuckled. "That's how special werewolves are. They only fall in love with one woman and are very possessive."

"That's horrible to me."

Yerenika wiped away her smile. Then she started talking seriously with Noel.

"Noel, you remember who is responsible for all this happiness, right?"

Noel gasped at his sister's question. "Of course. Why do you ask that?"

"I'm just afraid you'll be the one to forget that Swana saved you when the Killians rebelled. I'm also afraid you'll listen to the bad advice of the nobles who want to do harm to Swana and her husband."

Noel became nervous. He had no idea that Yerenika had such a sharp mind.

"That's---"

"Never mind, I'm just reminding you, Noel. No one can help you if Swana and her husband are gone. Your current power is the target of the nobles. They will definitely try hard to gain power for their own interests. If you don't have strong support, then you will lose to the nobles in making all decisions."

Noel realized that he'd seen his father between opposing sides. When it came to making a decision, the two sides argued until they were very fierce. His strong father would choose the most logical income. That's because he had strong supporters too.

"Well, you're right."

"Don't let you become their puppet, Noel. And the person who can keep you from being forced by them is Commander Curtis."

Noel nodded. He realized that he had forgotten the most important thing.

Everything they said was heard by Curtis. He smiled slightly when he heard all the advice Yerenika had told Noel. He began to feel calm after hearing all that.

'It turns out that the woman from the Sinclair kingdom has wisdom.'

"We can't stay here for long. I don't want you to get tired," Curtis said.

"You're right. We're going to the palace to rest. Tomorrow we will leave for the north."

Curtis led Swana out of the hall, which was now filled with people dancing. The burden he carried seemed to disappear after hearing what Yerenika said to Noel.

On the way to the palace that was reserved for her, Swana became famous for her activities in the palace as queen. She stopped to gaze at the rose garden that she had always loved.

"I can finally get rid of all this burden," Swana murmured.

"Yes, we can have peace in the north. I will create a barrier so that not everyone can enter our territory at will."

"Won't that make people not want to move there?" Swana asked.

Curtis smiled, "There will be special permits for anyone who wants to live there. The North is a prosperous region. There is a lot of natural wealth that attracts people. "

Swana felt that Curtis' reasoning made sense. Although she herself was a bit scared of the defense system her husband had put in place.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you."

This is his wife. She was so smart that she could also be cute. A combination that made him always crazy about her. Curtis began to be grateful to have been a gladiator slave. Because of his status as a slave, he was able to meet Swana.
