Ja Lia's Coronation: Day 1

The coronation. Havila.

"I'm not ready for this."

Ja whispered into Lailah's ear. He wished he could whisper into her mind and heart and every other parts of her body that would make her take him seriously. She's just too playful and daring. Those should be cute and sweet qualities, but not at that moment. Not on a day, which was called his coronation day.

"Are you really sure about this?"

She asked to his dismay. He looked at her. He wanted to dismiss the urge to listen to her but he was moved instead. Was she really being considerate? Unusual as it seemed.

He stuttered,

"Yes. I'm not ready for it. Not today, maybe some other day. I appreciate your effort but I don't have the resources from their tests. Even though I'm yet to know what they are."

She smiled and replied, peace splattered on her face instead of concern or determination,

"Very well then, I'll just stand up and tell all of them to go home. How about that?"
