"Is everything ready?!"

"Yes."

Hearing the response, Mirvana breathed a sigh of relief before telling the other maids to check if there's something missing in the arrangement.

Outside the palace gate, it was full of people.

"I heard there's a big event today but what kind of event will happen isn't known."

Said a guy to the person beside him, the person behind them couldn't help but speak up.

"That's right! That's why all the nobles were invited and the palace was open for us to see with our own eyes."

He just finished his words when another carriage was checked by the Knights before letting it in. It was still an hour before the event started but almost all the space in the palace was taken, if it weren't for the Knights maintaining the order maybe the people already went inside the royal chamber.

Although everyone was invited, it still had a difference between status. For example, the nobles were sitting on the chair prepared for them inside the Royal chamber, those in the lower class nobles or relatives were outside while the people were sitting a little far away from those lower class positions. Some were sitting on the chair while some were sitting on the ground. As long as it wasn't chaotic and they wouldn't start a fight, the Knights won't shoo them away.

Marius was sitting at the throne, leaning at the chair. Didn't care anymore about his image and just let himself be lazy.

Cole was standing at his side, still the same as before.

At this time, Cariell was fixing his sleeve and the cufflinks on his wrist before he fixed and tidied up his clothes. He checked everything on himself before he put the long cape on his shoulder.

The reflection in the mirror revealed a handsome man, the black with a touch of red and gold color clothes on his body making the aura on his body sharpened.

"You Highness, it's about time."

Cariell hummed, after being satisfied with what he saw he then followed De An out of the room.

People inside and outside the Royal chamber were chatting happily with each other when they saw that the event was about to start they immediately shut their mouths and waited quietly.

Sound of beating drums was heard, the nobles inside turned their heads in unison to look back and see the Prince walking towards the throne. Some of them admired the Prince, some looked regretful while others looked with respect.

When Cariell finally reached the throne, he knelt with his right hand on his chest, his eyes looking at the floor then he said.

"The Prince is here."

Marius stood up from his seat, picked up the sword from Cole then stood up in front of Cariell, he first tapped the sword on Cariell's right shoulder then on the left before he put it away.

He gave the sword back to Cole and when Cariell was already standing, he took off the crown on his head and put it on Cariell.

"Stand up."

At this time, Cole's voice resounded in the whole chamber, just like before, when he announced Marius' status, now it was Cariell's turn.

"THE NEW EMPEROR OF EJEN WAS CROWNED, ALL HAIL EMPEROR CARIELL VON EJELLAN!"

"ALL HAIL THE EMPEROR!"

Marius and Cole, together with the people, knelt down and bowed their heads towards the person standing there.

"Rise."

With this, all of them stood up and sat on their own seats, Cole also sat at the prepared chair for him, as for Marius he went to the door.

The Bishop that was waiting since earlier walked towards the throne and stood up behind the Emperor who was looking at the now closed door.

The sound of piano and violin was heard, the closed door opened.

Eugene, wearing the same style of clothes but in a white color. He hooked his arm on Marius' arm and smiled at him before he looked forward. His eyes stared at the figure on the front.

Cariell just stood there, meeting Eugene's eyes. Because Eugene didn't have any parents, Marius was with him to act like one. Well, after this, Marius would already be his parent.

Cariell met the two halfway, he took Eugene's arms away from his Father, held the other's hand before he whispered his thanks to the former Emperor then led Eugene in front of the Bishop.

The Bishop cleared his throat before he spoke.

"Today, we will witness the two people who love each other combine their hearts and promise themselves towards each other. Before that, is there anyone here who would like to stop this oncoming marriage? You won't have a chance again if you miss this."

Cariell coldly swept his gaze at the crowd which made the nobles who still haven't given up yet immediately shut up their mouths and looked away. Not daring to shout and stop it.

"None? Ok then."

Eugene squeezed Cariell's hand to calm him down so Cariell put his threatening gaze away and just looked at him.

The Bishop turned his head towards the Emperor and asked,

"Do you, Cariell Von Ejellan, promise yourself to the person in front of you? Only love him all your life, take care of him and never hurt him physically, mentally and emotionally?"

Cariell stared at those beautiful eyes, the fast turning pages of the book flashed on his mind before it completely stopped at the last page. This scene was the same as what he saw after dying for the first time, everything was written in a book. He was the villain in there, and Sean and Eins were the so-called protagonists.

And because he's the villain, he ended up miserable and dead. He remembered the story he heard from Eugene, and that's when he discovered that Eugene wasn't from this world. At first, he thought Eugene was just an extra, an unknown person that he just didn't notice from before and the courage to command him took his interest.

Then after that story, he suddenly felt panicked. What if....what if he would suddenly disappear? What if he went back from where he came from? But he was still here in front of him, smiling at him, wholeheartedly giving his love to him. How could he, who once wished to get something like this, ignore it? He even chased it himself, and he could say he felt proud.

Today, he wasn't a mere Prince that could be bullied by others because of misunderstanding. He wasn't the coward that would only lock himself in a room and cry because of grievances. He wasn't the villain that was destined to die.

It could be said that since being reborn, he finally freed himself from the shackle of fate, from his destiny. No, since he met Eugene, his fate had changed.

He now could lift his head and shout to the world that he, Cariell, the Emperor of Ejen, loved this person to death.

"I do."

The Bishop then looked at Eugene and asked the same question.

Eugene answered without hesitation.

"I do."

De An strode his way towards them, he was carrying a red pillow with two rings in different sizes on it. He knelt beside the Bishop.

"I bless these two rings, now you two can say your vow and put the rings to each other's fingers and say your vows."

The Bishop smiled and said before he let the Emperor take one.

Cariell took the small one, held Eugene's hand and said with a gentle voice.

"I know you knew when I fell for you and since the day you said yes, at that moment I felt like I found the one and the missing piece on my heart was found. My whole world changed from the moment I met you, I even feel like I already fell from that moment. This love of mine is timeless, endless and with this ring, I tell the world that as long as I live I love you, will have and hold you. And 'til my very last breath and if I ever live again, I will cherish the day I met you, the days I see your smile, the days I wipe your tears away, the days I spend with you, every day, hours, minute and second that had passed and will pass. I'll accompany you and be by your side, will support you behind, stick to you even death can't separate us. In this life, in another life, in another world, I'm yours and will always be. In front of every person sitting down there, every eyes that witness this scene, every words they've heard, with all my heart, I mean it."

After saying this, he put the ring on Eugene's left ring finger. It was Eugene's turn, he took the only ring left and said.

"Since the day we became a couple, you have made me feel special. Every time I see you looking at me, it makes me feel like I'm your world, the very precious treasure you have. I can't believe a person like you could even blush, you even hide your identity just to be with me. With this ring I tell the world that I'll give you every piece of my love, I'll be your strength in weakness, your light in the darkness, your hope in despair. There's so much that happened to us but we've won this battle. On this loving day, this life, another life, in another world, this feeling won't go away. I'm giving you my word and my heart. 'Til the day my life I breath my last breathe, this I promise you."

And with that, he took Cariell's hand and also put the ring on the other left ring finger.

"With the power given to me I pronounce you husband and wife. Now the husband can kiss his wife."

After that, the Bishop walked away from the front and sat down on the chair, De An followed and also sat down.

Cariell pinched his now wife's cheek and chuckled, with a teasing look, he said.

"Did you hear that? He says 'wife'."

Eugene glared at him and retorted.

"You're the wife."

"Then you'll kiss me?"

When Eugene heard this, he subconsciously looked around and saw many people, he suddenly felt nervous and ashamed. He will kiss him in front of them? I...isn't it embarrassing?

The tomato wife looked back at his husband and commanded.

"Then you close your eyes."

Cariell obediently closed his eyes, then he felt a soft thing touch his lips. It was about to turn away when Cariell suddenly held the back of Eugene's head and deepen the kiss, then opened his eyes and stared at Eugene's expression. He only stopped when he felt the other patting his chest.

A round of loud applause almost shook the chamber, the Knights lined up at the way the two would take to go back to the Emperor's place, holding their swords in front of their chest then pointing it upwards.

De An's voice announced.

"CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE EMPERORS WEDDING."

The people immediately echoed and cheered. Cariell led Eugene to walk towards the door, the servants showered them with flowers. Eugene couldn't help but smile, Cariell also smiled after seeing this.

Since then, the Ejen Empire has two Emperors. Sitting on the throne, ruling them.
