"Royal Mother."

Cyrus, the Emperor of Soliel greeted the kneeling old woman.

"I am praying, Son.

Make sure that what you are going to say is very important for you to disturb me like this."

"Laying the death's door
An aphrodite crosses life to thee
A bee's knees of a treasure
Fickle touch is what it takes
Turning everything from stone to gold"

Instead of answering, Cyrus stated the first phrase of the hundred year prophecy of the Empire.

The Queen Mother froze and slowly opened her eyes.

"I think I found the one but I failed bringing the person here."

Cyrus added, making the old woman's lips curve upwards.

"Fate will bring things together."

The Empress Dowager answered with a smile now visible on her lips.

BACK TO FRESCHIA'S POV

3 DAYS LATER

Just still early in the morning, and all the palace maids and servants are all busy walking from here to there, carrying various things.

I slowly walk to a certain room and peek inside.

Our eyes came in contact as he was directly facing my direction.

He stopped all the palace maids and commanded them to leave.

I approach him with a smile.

"Oh look at you! You look very regal and powerful with that royal mantle you're wearing, your highness or should I say…

your majesty?

After all, today is your coronation for ascending the throne."

He smirks.

"You never failed to annoy me, you brat."

I chuckled at his response.

"Look who's talking? You're beautiful and adorable yourself, kid."

"You're perfectly right about that." 

I agreed and twirled around emphasizing my black shimmering halter neck dress with ruffles at the end of the fabric.

I raise my chin in a proud way.

"Tsk… I'm always beautiful. What's new to that."

Alexander chuckles and suddenly pinch my cheeks. 

"Your now bubbly rosy cheeks are also way too cute."

"Awww... " 

I reacted as he kept on pinching.

Aww! so painful.

Laughing so loudly, he stopped when he noticed me, almost tearing up.

"What does it mean?"

I pointed out the emblem on his royal mantle.

"The Kingdom's emblem, why change it to phenix?"

"Because it perfectly symbolizes the Kingdom of Pretoria.

Phoenix symbolizes resurrection and we are on the way to that path.
