Chapter 392

FOUR MONTHS LATER

“By the power vested in me as the Keeper of the sacred crowns, I hereby anoint thee, in the sight of gods and mortals, as Grand Queen of Urai: The Keeper lifted the ornate diadem from its resting place, holding it aloft for all to witness. “Rise, Sovereign of the Realm, and stand beside your King. Two as one, rulers over land and blood, bound by duty, and sanctified by this crowning rite

Emeric rose on unsteady legs. This was real. A Grand Queen.

The weight of the crown was considerable as it settled atop her head, but she bore it with pride, grace, and dignity.

At her side, her Beloved extended his hand, eyes glowing with pride. She took it, fingers lacing with his, warmth spreading through her palm and heart. Together, they turned to face their people.

The Keeper stepped back, voice booming. “Behold! Your Grand King and Grand Queen. Long may they reign!”

The hall blasted in thunderous applause. Outside, the bells of the Citadel rang with triumph, echoing the moment through all of Urai

Reflexively, Emeriel’s fingers touched her own. It brought her contentment.

Aekeira’s full–heat had come two months ago, allowing them to seal their bond before Emeriel. Hers had come just a month after, and now both of them were officially, eternally, mated to the loves of their lives.

And just weeks after, Emeriel stood here, crowned Queen, staring at her throne a few feet away.
