The wedding was held at the temple. While his father was leading Hanaya, his heartbeat rang out. At the end of the red silk carpet, Javier's figure stood dashingly in his father's black tuxedo, under the stairs waiting for him with a gentle gaze and smile.
This was the day that the turning point of his life began.
After holding Javier's hand, after the sacred promise was said, and after the ring was pinned, Hanaya's hardship would slowly disappear in the contents of Javier's love.
He made the right decision. The gods gave him a gift.
Viscount Lances handed over his daughter's hand while hoping, hopefully this is the best option. May Viviana's life be better. May the doubts that still whack, deviate.
The two climbed the stairs, heading towards the Pope at the altar.
The oath of allegiance is made in front of the holy altar with witnesses of all Utopians. That both Viviana and Javier will accompany each other in joy and sorrow, carrying out duties and responsibilities and complement each other until the end of life.
The ring embedded in his ring finger became a sign of their official status.
"Please kiss the bride" Hanaya's heart was pounding while her breath was restrained as Javier gently rubbed her cheek sending a strange gelay all over her body.
Then the soft kiss landed.
And boisterous applause resuscitated Hanaya. This crowd sees her as Queen, as a companion to the man she loves, Javier.
With Javier's guidance they rode a golden horse carriage designed to open the sign. This is another passage to show the image of the emperor and his wife.
Parade in the title along the great path of Utopia. It starts from the main temple and ends at the palace.
From behind the curtains and with her wedding dress Hanaya saw how the cheers and the sound of blessings were uttered. Stomping, adding to the eurofia, makes the atmosphere more than alive.
"May the emperor and the queen live long."
"May the leader of Utopia shine."
"God blessed Utopia with another light other than the previous emperor."
"The empire will be blessed with a pair of god's hands."
"How much they're doing."
"May your love be eternal."
White roses are thrown as a sign and representation of true love. Meet streets.
Hanaya has really been accepted. Viviana's whereabouts have been acknowledged. Look at these happy faces, who cheerfully flattered her.
He managed to get love in exchange for the hatred directed at him all this time.
"You hear? They say how perfect are we?"
Hanaya nodded with a big smile. So this is how it feels to be loved by many people ?
Compared to life in its past. Not loved and appreciated. But here ? In this artificial world, Hanaya is loved. The struggle did not end in vain.
And his fear will not be realized. Javier loves her and always will be.
Why should he always be worried?
"What are you thinking?" Javier's voice drew Hanaya's consciousness.
The woman smiled slightly, then shook her head.
"none. Just a little unexpected, that there will be a day when everyone sees me like this"
Javier slowly kisses Viviana's hand "Sure. A queen deserves to be loved."

After that, the royal feast took place. Now Hanaya is sitting here, sitting next to Javier. The chair, which was usually empty, was now filled with it.
The royal hall is filled with guests of honor, while in the royal hall banquets for the people are available.
"Thank you for coming to our wedding. As emperor, I rejoice in this coming. Several performances have been made available to everyone" Hanaya was surprised, turning to look at Javier.
He didn't prepare for the show.
Understand that, Javier gripped Viviana's hand "Consider, this is a gift for all your hard work."
Then the dancers started to take place. The female dancer began to curl her body as the drum rang. The sound of foot beats and gurgling jewelry in the form of gold bracelets on the feet and hands rang.
The dance is beautiful, but intense.
A few minutes later, they were done. Both in the royal hall and hall rumbled by applause. At least this did not have a bad influence on the empire.
Javier and Viviana as the axis of attention goes down in general. Engage in the conversation.
This is Marquis George, the owner of the gem mine and his wife who may be 10 years younger than him.
Apparently different age marriages have existed in this period. A little astounding indeed.
"The royal party this time is great. Even the people are allowed to enter and join together, what a glory. The queen must have worked hard."
"thank you. I'm glad everyone took part in the celebration" Hanaya replied with a formal smile.
"I heard the Queen even used personal funds let alone dowry from the emperor. There has never been a queen as loyal and kind as you. The people of Utopia feel very appreciated."
"Thank you Madam is glad to hear that."
"Ah, and this is a congratulatory gift for Your Majesty's marriage. Please accept."
Surprised, Hanaya politely declined. "I am very grateful for the goodwill of the Marquis and the madam but your presence is a great gift to us."
The marquis and his wife laughed
"What if the Emperor's wife pleases people"
"No. The queen is indeed very much looking forward to the invited presence compared to the prize." sidelines Javier.
"But I would be very sad if the Queen refused. I have been preparing for this prize since hearing of your incredible victory. Please accept."
This time, there was no reason to refuse. So Hanaya was forced to accept "Thank you for the gift."
"certain. Thank you again Her Majesty the Queen" Hanaya next introduced to the important people of the empire. There was Countess Alexa as the royal treasurer, the owner of legal auctions even up to the leader of the group.
And one of the groups that Hanaya is interested in is Rhetoris. A group of nobles with fluency in language. Where all of them are the authors of popular stories circulating in Utopia.
Good storyteller. A group of people who turn the script of someone's life into a story that is in the interest of many people. Poems, poems, rhymes, love stories, and illustrations in dreams, stories that even the truth can be faked. A place where the truth can be buried, or lies can be beautified. A place where even illusions can become truth. Or the truth can be a lie. Rhetorists create all of that with just writing.
How life can be made into a joke or an inspiring story depends on the way the author looks.
Rhetorists are viewed poorly because of this, even so their stories circulated widely. Reaching the entire Utopia. The various covers sold quickly and made a profit.
The origin of this group is not even known and who the leader is still a mystery. The Rhetorists are not factions with strong political aims but rather a group of people with freedom of will whose identities are hidden.
But this is what makes them a threat. Like poison that doesn't stop its spread. It could be that some history is written and faked and then circulated.
"Among all these nobles, there were those involved but were too cleverly hiding identities. Parliament makes rules banning Rhetorists. If you find them or evidence of their latest publication spread, destroy them."
Yeah, Hanaya knows that.
One head costs 50,000 ruths.
They are fugitives of the state.
"You have a suspect?" No need to ask Hanaya knows the answer.
"People with basic skills are language and authorship"
Too rash to take a step . But the nobility of authorship and language were the ones who fit the Rhetorical description.
That means Rozetta, get inside this.
List of people suspected.
"Daughter of Baron Arches, lady Rozetta your best friend is one of the people you should beware of"
Hanaya's heart suddenly slipped. Hopefully not.not Rozetta.
Their friendship is new but solidly formed. Hanaya won't be able to kill him.
And then their gazes met.
Rozetta, it wasn't you, was it ?
