After experiencing a unique coronation ceremony, Nona excitedly remarked, “My, Miss Vera, I mean, Queen Vera is so bold . ”

Nona was the type who enjoyed seeing things she defined as entertaining and didn’t complain about things being excessive or exaggerated . She was impressed with Queen Vera’s confidence and pride .

Queen Vera’s cool and suave demeanour won Daisy’s envy . Daisy genuinely thought Queen Vera was awesome .

Vera sighed; Queen Vera’s composed, elegant smile and voluptuous b.r.e.a.s.t.s concerned her . She then checked herself and grievously sighed: “On that topic, we’ll also have to graduate to monarchs in the future . I’ll become the Elven Queen in the future, while Daisy will become the Empress of humanity . The throne in the North will be Liu Yue’s, so we’ll be the same as Queen Vera in the future . ”

“Please stop . I can’t even imagine myself, like that . That’s a nightmare to me . I’d rather attend a banquet with nothing but fish dishes than rule the North . It’d be best if Nona is willing to take my place,” opined Liu Yue .

“Don’t say that out loud; that’s depressing to hear here . On one hand, it’s because we can’t be as composed and confident as Queen Vera . On the other hand, we’ll be separated when we rule, won’t we? When I watch Queen Vera, I feel as though that future is coming closer,” Daisy protested .

The four sisters fell into a silence; even the joyous Nona placed her cake down and fell into a silence . Daisy was correct . As children, the three were still allowed to have their way . The reality, however, was the time for them to succeed the thrones wasn’t too far away anymore . Nier raised Daisy, but starting from next year, Daisy had to go to Hilles City with her Grandmother Elizabeth to begin making appearances at events . Elizabeth would teach her everything she needed to do . Favoured va.s.sal, Castell, would a.s.sist her in office .

Vera already began receiving special training from her Grandmother Vyvyan . She had acquired a grasp and command over mana, earning herself the nickname “Vyvyan Junior” . All elves praised her . Though Liu Yue hadn’t done anything yet, Troy wanted to hand the reins to the North, which originally belonged to the anthropoids, to the descendant of the Moon Fox Tribe, Liu Yue . Ling Yue didn’t want to let her daughter succeed the throne, though . The first reason was that not many people knew Liu Yue’s true ident.i.ty . Further, being the daughter of a mistress, those who supported Nona would leverage that against her daughter .

Troy didn’t plan to pa.s.s the throne to Nona due to her casual, naïve and bright nature . Liu Yue, who grew up among the commoners, was the best candidate for the throne . He wanted Nona to stick with Vera and lead a peaceful life in the elven lands .

The four sisters would have to separate in the end just as Vyvyan and Elizabeth were separated . In saying that, their circ.u.mstance was different . Vyvyan and Elizabeth had a poor relations.h.i.+p, thereby making it better for them not to be together . The four sisters, on the other hand, were always around each other but were going to have part ways . Furthermore, as monarchs, they wouldn’t be able to see each other whenever they pleased . As a matter of fact, they could very well be at logger heads with each other over national affairs . Thus, the future was a taboo among the sisters that none of them wanted to speak about .

The fault wasn’t their father’s . It was their obligation as his children as well as their obligation as descendants of the Galadriel and Rosvenor families . They had hundreds of reasons to not want to be separated . They were proud of being their dad’s child, nevertheless . They were proud of their background as members of the imperial family, meaning they’d have to eventually shoulder the responsibilities that came with it . Therefore, the sisters continued advancing despite the torment . They resolved to be the motivation and reason for becoming outstanding monarchs .

Queen Vera approached the four sister’s table when they were in their silence . Smiling, she queried, “What’s the matter, girls? You don’t look too happy . Did this morning’s ceremony frighten you?”

Queen Vera was in a fantastic mood, presumably . Vera picked up a cup of fruit juice and carefully clinked her cup with Queen Vera’s then offered a few words of good wishes . After Vera finished her drink in one go, her three sisters gave their blessings . With a smile, Queen Vera drank her wine the sisters blessed . She then caressed their heads: “You will become monarchs in the future, won’t you? Regardless of which of you manages to become a monarch, I’m sure you’ll all be excellent monarchs . Having said that, you also need power in addition to your kindness . You still need to be refined further . Of course, what’s most vital is determination . It’s not easy to be a monarch . After becoming a monarch, you’ll have to abandon lots of things . You’ll always be faced with choices requiring you to abandon that which you once cherished . The road to kinghood isn’t a joyous one . The path is not a straight and level path . After you acquire power, however, you’ll be able to do some things, which you couldn’t have done before . ”

Curious, Liu Yue inquired, “Queen Vera, why did you want to become Queen? It is clear that this nation does not support you . You do not seem to have any reason to become Queen . Not to mention the dangers that are part of the parcel . ”

Queen Vera pursed her lips into a smile: “Liu Yue, didn’t you just tell me the reason? This nation doesn’t support female rulers, and lots of people want to kill me . That is why I want to become the ruler . I want to change this nation . I want to defeat those who want to kill me . I want to prove to someone that I’m not inferior to her, and I want to tell her I never gave up . Perhaps you could say I want revenge, though I must admit I want to prove myself to her more than I want revenge . Her journey has been too smooth sailing . I need to throw her some curve b.a.l.l.s . ”

Queen Vera’s response was clear, yet vague, leaving Liu Yue still confused . Liu Yue nodded, albeit understanding only part of the answer . She sighed, thinking the adults’ world was so complicated .

Queen Vera left their table . Vera blankly turned her head to look at Liu Yue . Puzzled, she questioned, “Is it really that complicated to become a monarch? W-We don’t seem to have any reason, right…?”

“Yeah, we don’t . We need to succeed the thrones solely because we’re Dad’s children… And… truthfully, it has to do with the fact that our father refused to succeed the elves and humanity’s throne . We, therefore, have to succeed them in his place… Now that I think about, we don’t even have goals . How do we become excellent monarchs?”

Nona was the only one among the four who had nothing to worry about and could freely run around . With a smile, she expressed, “I don’t think that matters . I think being Dad’s children is a good reason in itself . After all, not everyone has the right to be Dad’s child!”
