"Let's slowly walk Hime!" (Merry)

Merry hold my hand and we walk slowly towards the door that was heading outside.

"I'm kinda embarrassed though Merry!"

"Don't be, your beautiful Hime! Wearing the royal dress of the clan makes me proud." (Merry)

"Yeah but, I'm not used to wear this kind of dress."

I'm currently wearing a light indigo colored dress, decorated with many frills and ribbons. And when I looked into the mirror, it almost look like a wedding dress. My hair is designed with violet roses and a white veil. Also, I'm wearing a gray skirt paired with a black stockings and a white heels with rose on it.

Today is actually the Royal coronation.

I'm being crowned today as the ruler of the clan, you could say, the queen of the undead clan.

And Merry is beside me holding my hand.

As the door opened, the red carpet with violet rose petals scattered. This really looks like a wedding.

At the end of the carpet, standing there are seven people.

Vox-sensei, Seleca-sensei, Velvet-sensei, Gunther-sensei, Gill-san, Vera-san, and Felt-san.

At the right and left side standing there are the whole undead clan members.

""HAPPY CORONATION DAY VELVET-HIME""

They all greeted me warmly.

"Thank everyone!"

I was moved that a little tear appeared on my eyes.

"Now, let's head there!" (Merry)

"Yes Merry!"

We walk slowly on the red carpet, swaying all the petals on the floor.

As we reach the destination, Merry let go of my hand and stand on the center of the seven people.

"Let's begin Hime." (Merry)

I nod in response.

All of them stand straight and look me in the eye.

"Hime, kneel before us." (Merry)

I kneel and look at them.

"The undead crown that has been passed to many generations will be handed down to you, are you ready to bear all the responsibility to carry the whole clan?" (Merry)

"Yes! I am ready!"

"Well then, Hime, we will start the ritual." (Merry)

Ritual?

All of them started to chant in chorus then a magic circle appeared below me bearing the crest of our clan.

Then a small pain attack my chest. The magic circle rise and stop on top of my head, appeared then slowly, a black stone in the shape of a diamond that illuminates a dark violet light, then small ones appeared encircling my head. After it encircled my head, the clan crest shine on the giant stone then gradually disappear.

The magic circle them form an orb and enlarge to fit my size till I was enclosed on this small place where various magic circles create a dome.

《 Hello? 》

"Kami-sama?"

《 It’s been a while, and from the looks of it, you've gained the crown of your clan! Congratulations, 》

"Thank you kami-sama."

《 also there are one person here with me, not actually a person though.》

《 Hello young empress! 》 (Meeod)

"Meeod-sama!"

《 Indeed, I am here to also congratulate you. And for that I have a blessing to you. Last undead empress.》 (Meeod)

【 Acquired origin art: Mokushiroku no kāten (curtain of the apocalypse) 】

"Origin art!"

《 Lucky you, origin arts are hard to obtain since it required determination and the willpower of the wielder. Meeod think highly of you.》

"Thank you Meeod-sama."

《 Your welcome young undead empress. Now I will take my leave, foster and rise the undead clan.》 (Meeod)

《 my time is also up, bye-bye! 》

"Thank you kami-sama."

《 Oh, I never tell you my name didn't I! It's Aion.》

"Thank you, Aion-sama!"

I was release then from the circle of magic circles.

I saw the faces of everyone, and a bright smile appeared on everyone's faces.

"Hime, this will be your followers starting today!" (Merry)

Merry presented me the 16 people most of them are children on the age of five or six and the rest of them are teenagers, when I look at the very back I can see three people carrying a baby.

""We will serve Vetys-hime for the rest of our life""

"Then from today onwards, you 16 children, will accompany me and serve me, your lives will be on my hands. Serve me with loyalty and your utmost allegiance."

""Yes""

Even though the others stutter, their will and their determination can be admired despite their age.

Now, Merry said I have to gain each of them with my blessing by sharing my mana with them.

So is it like this?

I hold my hand together and focus pouring my mana creating a small orb.

Then I held my hand to them spreading my mana to them.

I look to Merry if I did it right, since she just look at me normally, it seems its okay.

Somehow, nothing seemed to change.

So the end of the coronation is declared.

"Hime lets dance!" (Lucas)

"No, I don't know how!"

"Don't worry, you will get the hang of it." (Lucas)

Lucas, one of the oldest of my followers.

He seems to be a person that can fit in anywhere, also he has been gifted with a good face.

Lucas pulled my hand and we started to dance on this dark night.

The flickering embers from the campfire and the laugh of the surrounding people while their beloved Hime is dancing.

After a while, I get accustomed to this kind of dance.

Soon after, others also joined and we happily dance around the big campfire.

This reminds me of when I was in school, after the big event we get to enjoy the rest of the day celebrating and enjoying the day.

I'm glad to feel this moment again.

And with that, I smiled as wide as I can, this happiness is something I should enjoy.

"Are the preparation complete?" (Army general)

"Yes sir! We are awaiting your orders!" (Soldier 1)

"Excellent, we will trample those undead!" (Army general)

The sound of marching thousand people is resounding in the city of Calcus.

"Based on the information, Freed-San gave, the undead village is beyond that mountains." (Soldier 2)

"That far mountain?" (Army general)

"Yes sir, but base on our stamina and magic, we can arrive there in just 30 minutes." (Soldier 1)
