Who is that?
But just as quickly as I had seen him...
He disappeared even quicker.
How strange...
It's not what I think it is, right?
That's not you, right?
My heart won't stop racing.
No, calm down.
I must be imagining things because of the stress.
After all, the stress is really too much to bear.
Today is the day I'm getting married to the crown prince of this nation.
Another man.
A man other than you, Eric.
I can't afford to be weak and get swayed by my emotions.
I have to choose my own destiny and beat this system.
Eric...
You and I are like perfectly fitting pieces of different puzzles.
Star-crossed.
And this damned world won't let us be together.
I know that very well.
And that's why my heart mustn't waver...
The carriage comes to a stop.
Sounds of cheerful trumpets and loud cheers fill my ears.
"The lady is here!" They announce it gleefully.
The carriage door is opened by my father, who reaches his hand out for me to take it.
Strangely, my father's familiar face gives me courage.
It must be because he is also a man who never wavers.
And especially because I know he has got my back no matter what.
I gulp down a lump in my throat and take his hand.
He escorts me through the crowd that has gathered on both sides to watch me.
From children to the elderly, almost everyone had gathered for the wedding of the crown prince of Rivans.
"Long live Rion Empera De Rivans!!"
"Long live Caroline Empera De Rivans!!"
The cheers fill the entire way.
Flowers are showered over us as we make our way to the wedding hall.
These people are going to be my people from tomorrow...
I am going to rule over this nation as the Empress.
It's almost unbelievable how fate changes...
We enter the grand door to the wedding hall in the imperial palace.
The wedding hall is used only to announce the engagement of the imperial couple. The actual wedding always takes place at the imperial church.
But I really don't want to go back to that place and get flashbacks of the horrible scenes I had seen over there...
That's the reason I requested my wedding be anywhere but there!
Rion never stopped me from doing what I wanted.
What would he say?
He is bound to comply, especially when it's my father...
They are indebted to Vorsacks...
The current emperor owes his throne to the Vorsacks, and of course, they will obey us.
