[The morning of the Coronation Day…]
NEOMA was glad that Ruto and the others forced her to sleep.
Thanks to that, she felt refreshed and didn't throw a tantrum that busy morning.
Her day started with Stephanie and the other maids (because she was yet to choose her own ladies-in-waiting) giving her a long and very thorough bath.
Then they spent hours choosing the right clothes for her.
In the end, Neoma chose to wear trousers so that Nero would be able to move easily after their switch later.
"Will this be alright, Your Imperial Highness?" Stephanie, the head maid of her palace and her nanny since she was a toddler, asked worriedly. "I know Your Imperial Highness will still look good in a knight's uniform, but it's a shame that people won't see how beautiful Your Imperial Highness looks in a dress…"
And then her nanny glanced at the dresses she tried on with sad eyes.
