The Family Gathering Before The Banquet

(From Blue's Perspective)

"Right, the tiara..."

He took out the tiara's jewel-encrusted box and opened it. The tiara was made of gold, and it was adorned with deep black gemstones. Dem claimed that those stones were extremely valuable and could only be found in Querencia.

He placed the tiara on my head and to be honest, for a moment, I thought I was a different person. 

It was not the first time he did it. When I was crowned the Queen of Querencia, he did it then as well. But I took it off almost right away because Dem said I did not need to wear it all the time since it was just for formality to wear it sometimes.

The king and queen's crowns had always been the same since the beginning. It was amazing how beautiful and new the crowns still looked.

"Ah, you... you truly do look like a queen," he muttered as he rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Yeah... I'm surprised...," I murmured.
