[Bonus chapter] Preparing the Attack

The coronation of Ileus and Anastasia was one of the most anticipated moments. It was the formal investiture of the prince and princess to show their regal powers. As soon as the crowns were placed on their heads, Isidorus came forward and asked them to take formal vows to the noble court as well as the subjects. It was a long ceremony whereby after the vows the ministers were formally introduced. 

Anastasia's gaze swept over the nobles and she could feel the crazed excitement in the eyes of Circe. Her instincts flared and she knew that beneath the calm demeanor, the Minister of Education was pure evil. 

Once the vows were over, the Shaman offered them sacred water of the deities, which the two took a sip of. 

Now that they were the official monarchs, they were supposed to show their faces to all the netizens of Draoidh as well as Silver Vales. However, Adrianna had instructed them they would be meeting the elders first.
