CHAPTER 452
"As of this day, young one, your actions are no longer your own. Any decision you make, affects the lives of all those present here today and more. Your life indeed changes today when you are announced princess and crowned as one."
"Crowned?"
"Yes, soon you will be crowned Princess of Fortland."
No sooner had the voice finished speaking in her head than she heard…
"Presenting to you, her highness, Princess Astrid…"
The big door pulled open as the hall suddenly went silent and all heads turned in direction of the staircase from whence the high Lords, dukes, duchesses and King emerged from.
Taking in a deep breath once again, Astrid took the first step forward, walking into the dazzling lights as she came to stand face to face with the great big hall and a number of people she could never count all staring right at how.
