Chapter 13 - Coronation day 2

in front of my chamber

"prepare the bath for her majesty!"

the head maid of my pavilion ordered the other maids.

the guards opened the doors

the head maid and the others entered, they started opening the curtains first...I got my face out from under the blanket and...

"oOh my lord...my queen didn't you have any sleep!...your eyes are!..ah"

the astonished made asked.

...

in the coronation hall

"is everything okay boys?"

cousin George was checking the hall.

I have to say the decor was magnificent! everything was gold and luxurious the tall long red carpet from the door to the queen's throne, the red long curtains and the giant chandeliers.

guests arrived, they all took their places, seated along the two sides where I had to make my path...

important figures from all over the world came..it was breathtaking!

"I must say...you look relieved that the coronation day was held sooner...." my cousin George smiled at king Louis.

and of course, prince Philip was seated next to grandpa who introduced him to important figures as my fiancé!

....

In the kingdom of Austria

in the queen's chamber,

the queen had to stay in bed.

her illness had made her very weak these days that she could not walk out of her bed.

"where is my Victoria?....I need to see her urgently" my weak grandma asked.

"It's her coronation day today mother"

Princess Portia answered in a sad tone she was sitting in the chair in front of grandma's bed.

"my poor victoria .....I'm afraid I don't have much time left!" my grandma said when a tear fell from her eyes.

Princess Portia held my grandma's hand. "it's gonna be OK Mother don't worry about her she's strong enough!"

...

back in the Kingdom of France

maids and guards were all running all over the palace in excitement and ...the whole kingdom had to celebrate!

guards: "is her majesty ready??"

maids: "yes! she is!"

...

the moment has come!

the giant door opened you could hear its voice clearly in this silence!

they all stood up for me and gave their respect!

I started walking through the two sides of chairs with guards and maids behind me.

It could only remind me of when I was walking after the funeral.

I could see that seen once more...I was anxious.

I had to force myself into keeping walking.

this giant red long rope was really heavy and this fancy white dress Embroidered and studded with gold and this unique hairstyle...people started talking about this unique look but still, those staring eyes didn't make me comfortable at all!

I walked and walked....reached the spot..to only think about this one thing..who would it be to rule the kingdom now??

is it me or grandpa??

I turned to them...performed the oath....the moment when the crown was put on my head...I felt I cannot be the same anymore...no more princess victoria...officially queen Victoria...death waits for those who call me other than that...if you know how being called by this title makes me feel.

it's all over the country now.....

LONG LIVE QUEEN VICTORIA!

LONG LIVE QUEEN VICTORIA!

LONG LIVE QUEEN VICTORIA!
