MASSHIAHSAGA - THE RULING OF THE SHADOW QUEEN
THE CORONATION OF QUEEN OF THE ZHOU EMPIRE
Today is an important event for Zhou citizens in general, and the imperial family in particular. All residents of the western part of Runehall were wracked by busyness and pounding waiting for the peak of the event to be held before dhuha time.
Today is the 12th of the Intersect Year 2023 Romulus, the day of Princess Xiao Mei's coronation as Queen of the Zhou Empire, succeeding the elderly Emperor Pu Tuo and intent on relinquishing his power. Dang Dai Chan Palace has been decorated in such a way, as well as the Golden Dragon Hall which became the place of coronation has also been beautified by the palace makeup artist.
In addition, the public relations office of the imperial court had also contacted telecommunications stations to broadcast the coronation procession live so that it could be witnessed by Zhou citizens who were far from Cappadonia.
At the Guest Palace, Sultan Yazid was already wearing his best clothes. A beautiful Najd wardrobe embroidered by Golden threads, a long coat and turban decorated with flaminggo bird tail feathers. Spear Peg Bianglala Nuzlan's legacy draped on his back.
Havard and Do Quo served by the ladies, wearing typical Cappadonian clothing is a high-collared black long shirt with no chest ornaments and wide pants with cloth boots wrapped around a pair of legs. Because the outfit was not wearing an outer belt, Havard was forced to hold his claymore.
Thor himself wore his clothes because there was no fitting size clothes for the 3-meter tall man. The Aesir man wore only sleeveless clothes, a belt of Megingjord, and a loincloth of hairy skin, as well as his two shoes. His coat is draped on his back is also from hairy skin. Her red hair was braided in two. His axe was also on his back.
Nagini refused to wear the typical clothing of the area and chose to keep her own clothes adorned with a long black coat, hiding her Demon Dagger sword. The horned tiara remained perched on its head adorned with hair along its back. Champa also prefers the fashion of palace dancers. Indeed, the silver-white-haired girl mastered some typical Navada and Cappadonian dances. Princess Cin Ling asked her to join the palace's dance troupe that would entertain the country's guests who came to witness the coronation.
"Remember! Do not let Hekate realize that we have escaped Princess Mei Ling from her prison." Sultan Yazid press to his colleagues. The man then looked at Nagini. "I hope you and Thor are watching the situation outside the Golden Dragon Hall. I'm afraid Hekate is deploying his men for sieges and assaults when this coronation fails."
Princess Mei Ling was indeed temporarily hidden in one of the Guest Palace rooms and served by the ladies-in-waiting that Doh Gie had told at the behest of Princess Cin Ling.
Doh Gie himself was now within the Guest Palace, watching over Princess Mei Ling.
"Let me accompany Princess Mei Ling here with Doh Gie." pinta Selena who was then wearing a cheongsam*) without arms with the thigh cleavage opening. The girl's hair was carried and dressed in a phoenix carving. "We must not relax our vigilance until Hekate is arrested and forces him to show the Sinhalese hiding position."
Sultan Yazid nodded. "Well if that's what you want" Sultan Yazid said. "I entrust the security of the Guest Palace to you, Selena."
"Thank you, your Majesty, for trusting me." Selena replied with reverence.
"Then, I'm just as good as Selena as the Guest Palace." Havard offered.
"Selena won't be as easily kidnapped as yesterday, Havard." - Do Quo. "The existence of both of us is important on the side of Paduka Sultan to anticipate Hekate doing bad things to Paduka Sultan and Yahg Mulia Emperor."
Havard only showed a reluctant face to be reprimanded as it made Sultan Yazid smile and Champa laugh. The dancing girl teased.
"Wuih, glad to be noticed like that." he said made Selena's face immediately met red and Havard melengos hide his awkwardness. "When am I being noticed?" he said then acted coquettishly again by pretending to seduce Thor to want to pay attention to him.
"Obviously, I don't want Hekate to successfully carry out his mission" Sultan Yazid said.

Golden Dragon Hall, Zhou Imperial Palace, at 09:00 Western Region Time Runehall.
The Golden Dragon Hall had been overcrowded by guests who were ambassadors from cities like Navada, Kaipang, Deiria and officials of different ranks. Among the guests, there was Sultan Yazid flanked by Havard and Do Quo. Nagini and Thor stand by the door, watching over guests or anyone they find suspicious.
Declared Golden Dragon, sat Emperor Pu Tuo in his great clothes. The dancers are dancing a typical traditional dance called Odval, which is the name of a type of flower that became the official symbol of the imperial family. Champa became the star of the show and the guests praised his performance. The dance was performed for half an hour until the ladies finally finished the dance and bowed in reverence to Emperor Zhou Pu Tuo and went to leave the spacious room.
Shortly thereafter the palace protocol began to make a loud noise. "Brothers to the invited guests. Today we will witness the coronation procession of Princess Xiao Mei Ling as the Queen of the Zhou Empire. With this coronation, His Majesty the Emperor will end his term." exclaimed the protocol.
The door of the hall opened and entered Princess Mei Ling dressed in an imperial oversized outfit accompanied by Princess Cin Ling wearing the same type of clothing, she said, accompanying her brother from behind then successively the palace maids and servants appeared to enter the spacious room.
Guests praised the beauty of the future ruler. Princess Mei Ling then stood before the steps of the throne. Princess Cin Ling stood some distance behind Princess Mei Ling. Emperor Pu Tuo then rose.
"The kawula, from among my guests and officials. Today, I decided to stop being emperor and hand over my power to my first daughter, Xiao Mei who will become the next ruler of the Zhou dynasty." Emperor Zhou said in a haru tone. "I hope my daughter's leadership is fully supported by all of you. May the glory of our country be seen even more with the leadership of Xiao Mei."
Emperor Zhou then went down the stairs and stood in front of Princess Mei Ling, who immediately rested with the ladies and gentlemen, as well as Princess Cin Ling. The man then took out a mirror attached to the gold metal engraving. He showed the mirror to the guests.
"I hereby hand over the Mirror of Hearts, the coat of arms of the Zhou Empire to Princess Mei Ling, as a sign of her becoming a queen. And with this, I bestow her the proper name as the Queen of the Zhou Empire. Greet the new ruler of the Zhou Kingdom, Queen Narangerel Chinua!" emperor Pu Tuo.
Emperor Pu Tuo was about to hand over the Heart Mirror to Princess Mei Ling who had raised her hand, when a cry sounded.
"Wait!!!" exclaim Sultan Yazid then stepped into the middle of the hall.
Queen Naranggerel Chinua stood up and turned to look at Sultan Yazid with a sharp gaze. "Why did you block my coronation? What do you mean?!" he shouted while pointing his index finger at Sultan Yazid. Princess Cin Ling got up and retorted her index finger.
"Give me my brother, you copycat!!!" exclaim Princess Cin Ling.
Emperor Pu Tuo raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What does that mean? Tell my son."
Suddenly Queen Naranggerel Chinua rushed towards Emperor Pu Tuo without being prevented. He seized the Mirror of Hearts and took Emperor Pu Tuo hostage.
"Don't come any closer!!!" the thrill!
"Why this?!" emperor Pu Tuo exclaimed in confusion.
"hekate! Give me back the mirror!!" exclaimed Sultan Yazid took his spear from his back and pointed the tip towards the woman who was holding Emperor Pu Tuo hostage.
Queen Naranggerel Chinua laughed out loud and slowly her face turned into the figure of a cold-faced woman with white hair like silver.
"Their disguise has been uncovered!" exciting Hekate. "You'll feel the consequences later."
"Say! Where's Sinhala?!" todong Sultan Yazid.
Suddenly Hekate pushed Emperor Pu Tuo to his knees in front of Princess Cin Ling. After that from the back of Hekate, appeared a pair of wings whose ends had clawed fingers.
Hekate flapped his wings and the lady flew high almost touching the ceiling of the Golden Dragon Hall. Laughing, Hekate said.
"Sinhala is waiting for you in the Hydra Cave!!!" the thrill then flew back to escape through the ventilation of the roof of the hall.
The atmosphere was in an uproar and guests were gossiping about the event all day. []
