A few Days have passed and yet nobody has asked about Heira. Hastily I sneak into her Room. I look around and still see her lying on her Bed. She hasn't moved one bit.
I walk closer to her... I listen... she isn't breathing, the same as a few Days ago.
But... why then has no one asked or looked for her.
Even though I am the defacto Queen now, no one has talked to me even once. It's as if the State is ruling itself instead of the Rule through the Monarch.
How can that be? If it really is so, I need to change that.
But before that I need to quickly get out of here again, lest someone actually sees me and assumes that I killed Heira.
After I sneaked out of the Room, I come across the so called Prime Minister.
He sees me and begins to smile. "Ah, your Majesty. How good to see you! Actually. I just looked for you, how lucky of me to be seeing you here."
I look at him, unimpressed. "So, what do you want from me?" I say in an uninterested Voice.
"Well... the Thing is... your Coronation... well... it's actually tomorrow..."
TOMORROW?!? Did he just say tomorrow? Why in the World is he only telling me this now?
The State Funeral for the Late King hasn't even happened yet, so why am I already supposed to get crowned?
"But... my Un- I mean my 'Father' hasn't even had his funeral yet. Why am I supposed to be crowned tomorrow already?" I try to keep my Voice as neutral as possible.
He laughs awkwardly. "Well... the Things is... we already buried him..."
"YOU DID WHAT?!?" My voice suddenly gets furious. "AND WITHOUT EVEN CONSULTING ME?!? WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!?"
He covers and flinches at my Words. "W-well... I just... we just... thought that..."
"THOUGHT?!? YOU THOUGHT AND HANDLED WITHOUT MY AUTHORITY?!?"
"But... you haven't been crowned yet... and..."
"THEN YOU SHOULD'VE CROWNED ME SOONER! AND WHY DID YOU EVEN THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE?"
"Well... I..."
"GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! NOW! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU UNTIL TOMORROW!"
"Yes, your Majesty." He walks away, but as he does he smiles deviously. But I don't notice it.
The next Day, the Day of the Coronation.
I have been dressed in an Extravagant Dress. It's a beautiful Black with many Silver Linings and Diamond Jewels. I also wear a Diamond Brooch adorned with Emerald and Ruby Shards.
As I look into the Mirror, I almost feel like I want to say something... but... nothing. I feel... nothing. Somehow even though I always found myself quite beautiful, this Time I feel nothing. I just see my Emotionless Face and nothing more. Still... it's somehow... mesmerizing.
A bit later I arrive at the Throne Room, which, for the first time in my Life, doesn't have any Dark Energy flowing inside. Everyone seems to be able to move freely.
I walk forward towards the Throne. There the Prime Minister is already waiting for me, standing on the Left Side. On the Right Side is the 'Priest?' I think. He doesn't really look like one, but he holds the Crown in his Hand.
As I step forward and kneel down, he talks something about the Great History of this Kingdom and so on. Until, finally, he puts the Crown on my Head and thus crowns me Queen.
As I stand up and turn around I see everyone cheering. But... something feels wrong, utterly wrong. It's as if they're just pretending.
I shrug. Maybe I'm just paranoid, or worrying too much.
As the Priest then leaves, I look around the Room. In the Distance I see Victoria, standing there all alone. In a Corner. She looks... sad? I shake my Head. No, that can't be. She betrayed me, lied to me and after all, she killed Heira. Yes. She killed her. That's right, I can't forgive her. NEVER!
I decide to ignore her and talk with the other Nobles in the Room. They all seem quite Friendly. Especially the Family of the Duke, well, except for Victoria of course, who doesn't even stand beside her Family.
After talking with the many Noble Families, I decide to once again look for Victoria. She is still standing there, in the Corner. But this Time she notices me. She smiles at me, sadly, and then walks away.
I shake my Head. No. I can't let myself be swayed by her. I mean. I don't feel anything towards her anymore except for anger. But... why then did I just... feel this sadness?
I decide to just ignore it and go on with the Party. After it is over, I walk back towards my Room.
Once inside, I close the Door and lie in Bed. I think about the Day today, but nothing of real importance comes to Mind. Except for the Moment when I was crowned, I don't really feel like I did anything significant today. Weird... Normally I wouldn't even be able to sleep after such a Night. Not that I had that many.
Without thinking about it further, I quickly fall asleep, only to wake up soon after. At least it felt that way.
As I wake up, I look at the Time. It's already 10am in the Morning. How did I sleep so long?
Before I even have the Chance to wake up, I hear knocking on my Door.
