The Second Candy (End)
The next day.
It was just dawn when Evelyn and Violet got up. Violet was going out as she had reported yesterday, while Evelyn was dressed and ready to go to the council chamber to attend court with the king.
Evelyn originally thought that she could rest for a while after returning to Bavlot Palace, but she did not expect that the king would use the appointment and dismissal of ministers and the awarding of honors to nobles today as an excuse. Evelyn was already interested in this and had to be manipulated by the king.
Evelyn was wearing an elaborate palace dress, while Violet was wearing men's clothing. The two of them left the Princess Castle together, walking in different directions, one on the left and one on the right.
Yesterday afternoon, when she told Evelyn that she was going out today, Evelyn asked Violet if she was going on a date and Violet did not deny it.
In fact, it was also a date, but she wanted to propose to Evelyn during this date. She wanted to give Evelyn a surprise, so the date location could not be chosen at Bavrot Palace.
There are many people in Bavrot Palace and they are all watching closely. I am afraid that as soon as Violet orders a bouquet of flowers, the news will spread throughout the palace, which is not what Violet wants.
After leaving Bavrot Palace, Vilt first went to the Magician's Association in the royal city.
The Magicians' Guild was a Gothic-style building that, from a distance, resembled a church. Its doors were closed, making it seem rather deserted. But Velte could tell at a glance that there was a magic circle at the entrance. While this circle was complex, the required deciphering was quite simple. Anyone with the magical elemental content of a novice magician could easily push the door open and enter. It was a simple screening array.
Violet pushed the door open and entered. The moment the door opened, her vision became much wider.
What comes into view is a long counter, where many magicians accept training tasks; on the left is a magic crystal processing machine, and next to it is a staircase leading to the second floor; on the right is the exchange office, where magicians can gain a lot of resources by going out for training, and if there are any resources that the magicians don’t need, they can bring them here to exchange for consumables such as gold coins or potions.
Before Vilt separated from the Knights from the Forto Forest, Jack also gave her several mid-level Warcraft crystals. There were also two high-level Warcraft crystals in Vilt's own space ring. The value of these things should be able to cover today's expenses.
Violet had heard Evelyn talk about the exchange process of the Magicians Association before. She walked to the exchange counter while recalling Evelyn's words and showed the school badge of Violet Academy pinned on her collar.
The magician at the exchange office raised her hand when she saw the school badge, and a faint magic element emerged from her fingertips. The light of the element spread in the air. At this time, the school badge on Violet's collar lit up. It absorbed the scattered magic elements and emitted a layer of purple light.
Seeing this, the magician at the exchange counter lowered his hand and smiled politely, "Welcome, Master Magician. What would you like to exchange?"
Violet took out the intermediate and high-level magic crystals from the space ring. The magician's original expression was very calm. Although low-level magic crystals were common at the exchange office, dozens of intermediate-level magic crystals could be seen every day. However, after Violet took out two high-level magic crystals, the magician's eyes fixed.
"Mr. Magician, high-level magic crystals are extremely rare. Please follow me to the second floor to assess the value of these two magic crystals." As he spoke, the magician stood up and called another magician to take over temporarily. He walked out from behind the counter and led Violet to the second floor.
Violet put the magic crystal back into the space ring and followed him.
The valuation of the magic crystal went smoothly, and in the end, Vilt received 270,000 gold coins.
With abundant funds, Vilt began to choose a date location. She was not familiar with the royal city, so she simply found a deserted place, transformed into a dragon, and looked down from mid-air to observe.
After circling over the royal city for nearly an hour, Vilt fell in love with a restaurant called "Sky Garden", especially the open-air restaurant on the top floor of the "Sky Garden", which reminded Vilt of Evelyn's room in the Dragon Castle.
Violet transformed back into human form in mid-air, found a corner near the "Sky Garden", landed, and walked into the restaurant.
After a busy day outside, Vilt was barely satisfied. Looking at the darkening sky, Vilt did not stay outside for long. She quickly returned to Bavrot Palace. She still had time to have dinner with Evelyn.
Inside the Princess Castle.
Evelin was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When she heard Vilt's footsteps, she put down the book, turned around and stood up and said, "Dinner is ready. You're back just in time."
The two walked side by side towards the restaurant. The maids from the Princess Castle set the tableware and food and left one after another. Evelyn had not asked the maids to serve her during meals for a long time.
Violet and Evelyn sat together on the left side of the table.
Violet wasn't picky about food; she'd eat anything on the table. But being able to eat everything was one thing, having preferences was another. After sharing a table with Violet for over a year, Evelyn had figured it out. Violet preferred beef and fish, preferred leafy greens, and preferred noodles to bread for her staples. She'd occasionally drink wine, but more often than not, she'd settle for tea.
The dinner at Princess Castle was more to Vilt's taste. The main course was spaghetti bolognese. The steak and salmon were fried and placed on different plates. The vegetables were mixed evenly with salad. Black tea was placed between Evelyn and Vilt, and there was another portion of foie gras near Evelyn.
Before the meal, Violet took out a wooden sign from her space ring. The front of the sign was engraved with the pattern of the "Hanging Garden" sign, and the back was written in cursive script with "Open-air Restaurant".
This wooden sign is the restaurant's special symbol. On the appointed day, you can go to the restaurant with the wooden sign and the waiter will take you to the corresponding room.
Evelin took the sign with a surprised expression. "You've already booked a restaurant? I thought you were going to hint at something."
"I think you've probably been to all the restaurants in the royal city, so you can decide for yourself," said Violet.
"My favorite part is the rooftop with the sky garden," said Evelyn.
This time it was Vilt who looked surprised. She wasn’t sure whether what Evelin said was true or if it was because she had chosen that place.
"It's true," Evelyn said affirmatively, "because I've eaten their meals many times, but never in their open-air restaurant."
Evelin's words were to the point and she didn't say anything very directly, but Violet understood instantly.
Evelyn had been carefully protected in a glass house for the past eighteen years. The king and queen were afraid that if something went wrong, Evelyn would be abducted by the dragon, so the Princess Castle and Bavrot Palace were filled with defensive magic.
If the princess gets tired of the food in the palace, the king and queen will go out to search for chefs from famous restaurants in the royal city and ask them to come to the palace to cook for the princess.
The most popular spot in the city was the open-air restaurant in the Hanging Gardens. It opened every year during festivals and New Year's Eve, allowing residents to watch the fireworks and street performances. The princess wanted to see these things, and there was a dedicated venue within Bavrot Palace. While viewing the ceremony in the open-air gardens wasn't necessarily better than inside the palace, Evelyn's queen mother frequently left the palace, leaving her unable to go anywhere. Even if she did, she'd be surrounded by crowds, and she was afraid others wouldn't notice.
"So I really like the date venue you chose." Evelyn reached out and squeezed Violet's fingers tightly. "I'm already looking forward to this weekend."
*
The weekend is coming soon.
Violet had booked dinner in the evening, so she and Evelyn were not in a hurry. But in the morning, Evelyn got up early and took Violet to the cloakroom to choose clothes and accessories for the two of them to go out.
Although there was a cloakroom, Evelyn and Violet's clothes had long been mixed together. They had similar body shapes, so it was common for them to wear mixed clothes.
Violet still knew nothing about this. She quietly watched Evelin moving through the clothes. She picked up a piece of clothing and first walked over to try it on Violet, then tried it on herself, and finally put it back.
After going through row after row of dresses, Evelyn finally chose a satin dress with lavender and beige colors.
Evelyn and Violet each wore one of these dresses. Although the dresses were cut differently, the ingenuity of the designs blending with each other was clearly evident from the color matching to the accessories.
afternoon.
Vilt put on a dress and tied her hair into a bun. Evelyn put accessories on her, including a crown, earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet, all of which were made of purple gems that matched the dress. There was originally a ring among the accessories, but Evelyn lowered her eyes to look at the ring and did not touch it. She just put gloves on Vilt.
The two of them finished dressing quickly and stood side by side in front of the mirror.
Violet rarely dressed so formally. Evelin looked at her through the mirror and felt a little dissatisfied. She simply turned her head and stared at her closely.
They were so close that not only could she feel Evelyn's gaze, but Violet could even feel her breath on her neck.
Being stared at intently by Evelyn, Violet subconsciously tensed up, the temperature slowly rising from her neck to her cheeks.
“Okay, don’t look at me.” Finally, Violet smiled helplessly. She raised her hand to block Evelyn’s sight, but Evelyn pinched her wrist with her backhand, and moved her fingers up to interlock them.
"It's too much of a stretch to ask me not to look at you, isn't it? I plan to watch you for the rest of my life." Evelin smiled.
Violet's face turned even redder.
At this time, the maid Rona knocked on the cloakroom door. "Your Highness, Miss Violet, which carriage would you two like to choose?"
"Keep a low profile," Evelyn said. "Find one without the royal crest. I don't want to be watched along the way."
"Yes." Rona responded and left.
It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was still light.
Vilt needed to go to the sky garden in advance to see how the top floor was decorated. In fact, if she arranged for someone to complete these things accurately, Vilt was not very reassured. She would not allow even a flower to be placed in the wrong place.
"Okay." Evelyn put her arm around Violet's waist. "Then we'll meet in an hour?"
Vilt estimated the time and nodded. She kissed Evelin lightly on the lips and said, "I'm leaving now."
Without giving Evelin a chance to kiss back, Violet quickly pulled away and turned away.
Evelin was suddenly teased by Violet, and her eyes slightly opened, unable to react. The fragrance of Violet was still around her, but the figure had disappeared. Evelin raised her hand and lightly touched her lower lip, as if she could still feel the body temperature of another person.
Just as Violet could not accept Evelyn's direct gaze well, Evelyn could not adapt well to Violet's sudden kisses. Every time Violet took the initiative to kiss her, Evelyn would savor it for a long time.
Charmed by her Lady Dragon, Evelyn blinked slowly.
Time flew by in the kisses left by Violet. At a quarter to six, Evelyn stood up and prepared to leave.
She lifted her skirt and walked out. When she walked out of the room, Evelin's footsteps suddenly stopped. Perhaps she had not yet digested Violet's kiss. She turned right instead of turning left to go downstairs.
*
It was two minutes to six. Violet sat at the dining table with an expressionless face, feeling unusually nervous.
She carefully checked every corner of the open-air restaurant, but even so, she was still worried about Evelin’s first expression after she arrived.
Violet's hand touched the hem of her dress. The dress had a specially sewn pocket, perfect for storing small personal belongings. Ever since returning from Dragon Castle, the ring had been stored in her dimensional ring. Now, she had removed it and was carrying it with her. Only by feeling the ring in her pocket could she find some peace of mind.
Manager Aovina of the Sky Garden came up to ask if the meal would be served on time. They had agreed on 6:30 as the meal time, and Violet nodded.
As Manager Aovina finished speaking, there was a slight movement from the space formation, and Evelin and the waiter appeared in the open-air restaurant together.
The moment Evelyn showed up, Ovina, who had met many nobles in the restaurant, could no longer maintain a calm expression. Ovina turned around and looked at Vilt in shock. The magician invited Princess Evelyn to a date!
But out of good professional ethics, Ovina did not do anything out of line - although she really wanted Princess Evelyn to leave her signature on her work clothes.
"We will serve you two in thirty minutes." Ovina put on a polite smile, bowed slightly to Vilt and Evelyn, and then took away the two waiters who were staring at Evelyn rudely.
Evelin actually didn’t have any preset scenarios for today’s date. It wasn’t that she wasn’t looking forward to it, but on the contrary, she was looking forward to it too much, and she didn’t dare to think too deeply about it.
All the fearful emotions turned to ashes the moment he saw Violet.
The terrace restaurant was huge, as big as three council halls in the Bavrot Palace. The balcony was covered with roses, and the fragrance of the flowers filled the empty top floor. Candles were lit on the dining table, and the crystal chandeliers above were shining brightly. Her Violet, covered with countless flowers, stretched out her hand to him with a smile on her face and love in her eyes.
When Evelyn's hand rested on Violet's palm, a small band hidden in the corner began to play a minuet.
"Your Highness Evelyn, May I?"
“Of course.” Evelin squeezed Violet’s palm, and the two of them danced gracefully.
The bright moon hung high in the night sky, the lights shone like stars, and Evelyn and Violet strolled hand in hand among the flowers, their skirts intertwined and their breaths blending. If there were a court painter, he would definitely record this scene and put it in the court album.
The dance didn't last long. As the band's last note fell, Evelyn and Violet stopped.
Violet let go of Evelyn's shoulder, and the other hands of the two were still holding each other. Violet pulled Evelyn to the stone pillar of the balcony. Evelyn then discovered that the roses covering the balcony had left a small path here.
"Have you prepared fireworks?" Evelin was a little unable to describe her feelings. Although Violet didn't know, it just happened to fulfill a wish she had made a long time ago.
We are destined to be together, Evelyn thought.
"There are fireworks, but before they start..." Violet bent down and broke off a rose from the bushes. She used dragon breath to remove the thorns on the rose, then bent down slightly and presented the rose to Evelyn. "Evelyn, I..."
As Violet spoke, a light flashed from her hands behind her back.
“Virte!” Evelin realized something, her eyes widened slightly in surprise, and her voice was a little restrained, “Wait a minute.”
The words of restraint were a little abrupt, and Violet's eyes dimmed for a moment.
Realizing that her tone was a little inappropriate, Evelin tightly grasped Violet's hand holding the rose, and said urgently, "No, Violet, I know what you want to say. But, can you let me do it?"
What? Violet's expression was blank for a moment.
Evelyn loosened her grip on Violet's hand, and the same light that Violet had hidden lit up in her palm. When the light faded, a crystal box appeared in Evelyn's palm.
“Evelyn…” Violet realized something.
"Ms. Violet." Evelyn looked at Violet with burning eyes. She knelt on one knee, opened the crystal box, and said solemnly, "Will you marry me and spend the rest of your life with me?"
Evelyn's carefully customized sapphire ring lay in a crystal box, with diamonds surrounding the gemstone. Every facet was flawless, and more importantly, the person holding the ring in front of her.
Vilt reached out to pull Evelin up. She didn't need Evelin to do this for her. However, Evelin shook her head stubbornly, insisting on getting an answer. "Vilt, will you marry me?"
"I do. Why wouldn't I?" Violet's eyes were red and her voice was trembling.
Evelin felt a little sad when she saw Vilt's slightly wet eyes. She took the rose from Vilt's hand and carefully put the ring on Vilt's middle finger.
It fits perfectly, without any error.
She finally had the dragon that belonged to her by her side with full legitimacy.
After handing over the ring she had prepared, Evelin stood up and placed the rose in her hair. Then, she extended her left hand to Violet and smiled, "Where's mine?"
"The ring I prepared might be..." Vilt said this, but she didn't feel any inferiority. She took out the magic crystal ring from the space and knelt on one knee, imitating Evelyn's actions just now.
"I don't want you to kneel to me, Vilt. You have to stand by my side for the rest of your life. I will never make you surrender to me."
"But you just..."
"That's different." Evelyn put her hand closer to Violet. "Please put the ring on my finger. I do."
Violet was amused by Evelyn's words. She held Evelyn's hand and slowly put the ring on her finger.
When Violet took out the ring, Evelyn could tell that this ring, like the magic crystal that Violet gave her, was polished by her personally. "The one you made for me is more precious than those made by so-called masters," Evelyn said.
As Violet put the magic crystal ring on Evelyn's middle finger, the fireworks that Violet had agreed to set off instantly.
Brilliant fireworks bloomed overhead. Evelin looked up, the sparkling fireworks reflected in her eyes.
“Virtel, I’m very happy.” Evelyn said with a smile, not only because the scene she had always wanted finally came true, but more importantly because of the person who was with her.
The fireworks and Violet's profile left Evelin a bit overwhelmed, but soon her gaze stopped at their clasped hands. Evelin shook Violet's hand and leaned close to her ear. She pinched her fingertips and raised her voice slightly. "I heard that when two people are together for a long time, they become in sync and have a tacit understanding. Does this apply to us?"
Violet frowned as she listened to Evelyn's words, and the rings on their intertwined fingers shone brightly.
*
Although the proposal method was a little different from what Evelin had originally expected, the result was beautiful.
Some more important things can also be put on the agenda.
In Evelyn's original plan, her proposal was followed by an engagement ceremony, which was more like a signing ceremony for a property division contract than an engagement ceremony.
Evelyn had already determined the general content of the contract, and was waiting for the royal lawyer to officially write it on the parchment scroll on the day of the ceremony.
Generally, engagement ceremonies are not too grand and only require a lawyer, the two newlyweds, and the parents or elders of both parties.
Violet really couldn't find anyone to replace her elders, and she and Evelyn were not willing to accept relatives from the Queen's side. Finally, they decided to ask the principal of Violet Academy to come.
Dean Violet was not surprised when she received this request.
On the day of the engagement, she came to the council hall of Bafflot Palace in a solemn magician's robe and said to Evelyn Vierte with a smile, "I've always heard rumors about you at Violet Academy, but I didn't expect to be able to witness it in person today."
In the council hall of Bavrot Palace.
Evelyn Violet sat on one side, the King, Queen, and the Dean of Violet College sat opposite them. At the head of the square table in the council hall sat the royal lawyer holding a pen and a parchment scroll, with piles of property documents placed beside him.
The royal lawyer first wrote about the creed of marital fidelity, the agreement on living together after marriage, the obligations of the two newlyweds, and finally the most important division of property.
The royal lawyer has worked for the royal family and aristocracy for decades and has prepared countless pre-marital property division certificates. Some newlyweds even argued in court over every little thing. Her Royal Highness the Princess and the magician lady should not have a bad quarrel, but the lawyer was prepared to discuss for an hour or two.
However, as the lawyer here was preparing himself mentally, he saw Evelin wave his hand and said, “Virtel and I have nothing to discuss in this regard. Everything is 50-50.”
The royal lawyer was shocked. He looked at the king and queen and swallowed. "Your Highness, all the movable and immovable properties in your name?"
"no."
The lawyer breathed a sigh of relief, which startled him. However, before he could completely relax, Evelyn continued, "Lawyer Dalton, I mean everything. Everything."
Including the entire country.
Evelyn didn't say this explicitly, but the lawyer could clearly grasp the implied meaning.
The lawyer's pupils were shaking, and he couldn't control his expression as he looked at the king and queen beside him. This was the first time in his long career that he had encountered such a division of property. Even the little duke who had his own territory was reluctant to give up half of his fiefdom.
Evelyn had already told the king and queen about this matter. According to Evelyn, what Violet gave her was a priceless treasure that could not be measured by the contract. Even half of the country was just a compensation in her words.
The king and queen thought about the half of the authority over the Foto Forest that Violet had handed over, and remained silent. This exchange was indeed a disadvantage for Violet.
Facing the lawyer's shocked expression, the King and Queen nodded calmly, "Thank you for your hard work, Lawyer Dalton."
"It is my honor to work for the royal family." The lawyer quickly stated his attitude and then began to write furiously.
It saved a lot of time in haggling, but it also took a lot of time to list the properties under Evelyn's name. When the last letter fell, the lawyer handed the parchment scroll filled with text to Evelyn for inspection.
After confirming that everything was correct, Evelyn and Violet signed and stamped their fingerprints respectively in the presence of their elders and royal lawyers, and finally sealed it with magic.
A prenuptial contract exclusive to them was thus concluded.
Later, a banquet was prepared at Bavrot Palace, and some nobles were invited. After the contract was signed, the dean of Violet Academy and the royal lawyer who had packed up their things also went there one after another.
This kind of banquet didn't require Evelin and Violet to show up. Evelin smiled and said to the king and queen who were about to go to the banquet to meet guests, "Father, King, and Queen, you have worked hard."
"Your father and I will not worry about the procedures of your wedding," said the queen.
"I won't let anyone else do this kind of thing." Evelyn and Violet smiled at each other.
“Since there’s nothing for us to do later, let’s go first~” Evelyn said, pulling Violet’s hand and leaving.
Before leaving, Violet said goodbye politely to the king and queen.
The king and queen were in no hurry to go to the banquet, as if they went there too early it would be restrictive.
The queen looked at the sealed contract on the table with a melancholy expression. "It seems like it was only yesterday that I was worried about Evelyn turning eighteen, and now she's even signed the prenuptial contract."
This contract will be handed over to the historian by the royal lawyer and placed in the archives to become a part of history.
The king patted the queen's hand. He knew that the queen didn't need much verbal comfort right now.
As expected, the queen sat for a while, then stood up and walked to the window of the council chamber, continuing to gaze into the distance. However, her gaze did not linger on the distance, but suddenly stopped at a certain place.
Through the windows of the Council Hall, you can just see the garden not far away. Various flowers are planted in the garden of the Bavrot Palace, and it is full of flowers even in winter.
"Anna, what do you see?" The king moved closer to the queen and looked down along her line of sight.
Evelyn and Violet appeared side by side, their steps leisurely strolling through the garden. From time to time, the two of them would huddle together to whisper, and Evelyn would gesture to Violet to look at a flower nearby, picking it if she nodded.
Evelyn first took the picked flowers and brought them to Vilt, asking her to smell the fragrance. It was unknown what the two of them said, but Evelyn skillfully weaved the bouquet into a wreath and put it on Vilt's head herself.
I don't know when she learned it.
Violet didn't have this skill, so she looked at the flowers blown down by the wind. She lightly tapped her finger in the air, and the scattered flowers on the ground instantly danced as if they had consciousness. Soon, the names of Evelyn and Violet appeared on the ground, and the two names were connected by a heart.
The queen was overwhelmed by this strong feeling of love. Seeing Evelyn and Violet getting closer and closer face to face, she and the king quickly left the window of the council chamber.
The melancholy that had just filled their hearts disappeared completely. The queen and the king looked at each other helplessly and couldn't help laughing.
After the engagement ceremony, the news of Her Royal Highness the Princess's engagement first spread throughout the royal city, and then became known to everyone in the entire country.
At first, everyone was curious about who Violet, the girl engaged to Her Royal Highness, was. Soon, the news that "Her Royal Highness was rescued from a dragon by Violet, that she was the apprentice of Knight Captain Jack, and that she is now Her Royal Highness's personal knight" spread across the country.
This kind of "rescue" story satisfies almost everyone's fantasy. When people talk about this engagement, they are full of praise for the perfect match and they can't wait to see the wedding scene of this beautiful love.
Evelyn and Violet did not follow the Violet Academy Dean back.
Originally, the King and Queen had hoped that Evelyn and Violet would marry six months after their engagement and before Evelyn ascended the throne, as that was their plan at the time. However, Evelyn insisted on having her wedding and coronation ceremony held together, and her life became even busier than when she first began handling state affairs.
The Queen said they would not help with the wedding matters, and she really meant they would not interfere in any way. So, from big things like the wedding venue decoration to small things like the guests' allergies and dietary restrictions, Evelyn had to worry about everything by herself. Fortunately, Violet was with her.
Although Royal Family member Violet couldn't quite understand it, she could still sort out the rules and regulations if she was given a list of details, which made Evelyn feel a lot more relaxed.
In addition to the wedding arrangements, Princess Evelyn also gradually officially entered the political stage.
She began to accompany the king to royal meetings, write government reports, attend morning court sessions, and go on tours.
Originally, the tour was accompanied by the king and queen, but now everything was handed over to Evelyn, and Evelyn naturally brought Violet along.
This time they left from the Palace of Bavrot and ended up in a city-state in the south.
Princess Evelyn has just gotten engaged, and everyone is curious about what her significant other looks like.
Violet did not dodge. She wore knight's clothes and rode a horse to accompany Evelyn's carriage. Because Violet was not in the carriage to accompany her, Evelyn often abandoned the carriage and rode side by side with Violet. This scene was unprecedented.
Not far from the royal city, they also captured a group of thieves who were causing trouble in the town.
The gang of thieves were all ordinary people, so there was no need for any magic. Vilt drew the sword from her waist, raised her hand and threw it, nailing the leader of the bandits to the tree with his hat.
Because of this incident, the reputation of Princess Evelyn and her fiancée rose steadily among the people. Wherever they went, the streets were crowded with people. Violet could no longer ride a horse as boldly as before, so she sat in the carriage with Evelyn and waved to the people along the way.
Later, more and more people gathered to watch. There weren't even so many people when the king ascended the throne. Evelyn whispered to Vilt, "We feel like rare animals in a zoo."
"Her Royal Highness is quite reputable," Velvet said with a smile. Then she glanced through the window and said, "It's unsafe with so many people jostling around. We need to expedite the process."
“Well, what you said makes sense.” Evelin followed Vilt’s gaze outside, and suddenly she saw something, “Vilt, look.”
There was a little girl in front of the crowd wearing a homemade knight's costume. The workmanship of the knight's costume was not delicate and was very rough, but the shape was obviously a copy of the one worn by Velvet.
Imitating the royal family and aristocrats in their clothing is a trend. Many aristocrats not only do not feel offended but also feel complacent that they are loved. However, not many people wear knight costumes. Knights are just children in the folk who use wooden sticks to play when playing house.
Evelin asked the driver to stop the carriage and said, "I'll go and take a look."
"Evelyn!" Violet didn't hold on to anyone and quickly got off the carriage. Following Evelyn's action, the knights and magicians who were originally following on both sides of the carriage immediately tightened their ranks and looked around vigilantly.
Evelyn had a clear goal. She stopped in front of the girl in knight's uniform and bent down with some curiosity. "Is this outfit based on what Violet wore before?"
The girl didn't expect that the legendary princess would appear in front of her and talk to her. Her face turned red instantly, and she opened her mouth but forgot to answer.
The girl's mother tried to remain calm and replied, "Yes, Iris was very fond of the knight's uniform when she saw it. She even made the sword she was wearing herself."
The girl had a wooden sword on her waist, which was slightly tilted due to her nervous fiddling.
"Do you like Violet very much?" Evelyn asked with a smile. She hoped that Violet could wear all the glory with her.
The girl nodded and said nervously, "I want to be like Knight Violet, so I can protect whoever I want to protect."
The knight and dragon lady and her princess smiled at each other. Violet helped the girl put her wooden sword back on and said, "You will do it."
The story of Princess Evelyn and Knight Violet getting off the carriage to encourage the people during the tour was reported in the newspapers the next day, which further boosted public sentiment, but this also forced Evelyn to end the tour early.
But although the tour was over, Evelyn and Violet's reputation continued to rise among the people. The king was pleased with this result. He relaxed his power step by step with peace of mind, and Evelyn began to rule the country.
During Evelyn's term as governor, Jack gradually handed over the affairs of the Knight Commander to Vilt and retired with peace of mind.
*
A year later, with Evelyn signing the latest charter, the power of the previous king became history, and Evelyn was about to ascend the throne.
The enthronement date is May 1st.
The king will be paraded through the royal city during his coronation ceremony.
Half a year earlier, craftsmen had begun constructing the king's carriages and planning the layout of the city's interior for the parade. This was originally overseen by etiquette officials, but Evelyn requested the list and began making changes.
The tulips lining the streets where successive kings ascended the throne were replaced with red roses, the initials of the king's name on the flag were added with Violet's, and the king's parade carriage was changed into a wedding car - Evelyn even included a blueprint.
Although the etiquette officials were surprised by Evelyn's arrangement, the king was the most important person in the world, and all they needed to do was to meet all the king's requirements.
May 1st arrived as expected, with bright sunshine and gentle breezes.
Pigeons flew over the highest spire of the Bavrot Palace. Evelyn and Violet walked out of the Princess Castle wearing the same red dress, identical crowns and jewelry. From today on, they would move into the main hall of the Bavrot Palace and would not return to the Princess Castle easily.
Evelyn held Violet's hand in one hand and held the ruby scepter that symbolized the king's power in the other, and they got into the wedding car side by side.
Six pure white horses pulled the golden wedding carriage out of Bavrot Palace and ran slowly along the main road of the royal city. The wedding carriage was installed with transparent glass on both sides, allowing everyone to see the faces of the future king and queen clearly. Evelyn held Violet's hand tightly all the way, and even after she put down the scepter in her hand, she did not let go of Violet at all.
Two hours later, the wedding car parade was over.
The nobles and ministers had been waiting in the throne room for a long time. The king and queen also stood in front of the throne, watching Evelyn and Violet walk up the steps to the high seat together.
There was a small square table in front of the throne, with two agreements on it. Evelyn had already signed the agreement on the transfer of power to the king. One of the agreements in front of her was for Evelyn and Violet's marriage; the other was a letter of consent for the issuance of new currency in the year when the new king ascended the throne, and Evelyn also wanted to highlight Violet's presence on this small coin.
In an era when magic prevails, religion has long since withdrawn from the historical stage, but the oath of loyalty remains immortal.
later,
Violet rose from a knight commander to an earl, then from an earl to a landed duke, and finally to a prince.
The prince not only had a fiefdom but also a mansion, but Violet never left Evelyn's side from beginning to end.
In this way, the princess and the dragon lived happily together.
