The Second Life's

『S2』 Prologue

The first Emperor of the Vanhoiren Empire, Charlotte Mikaela Vanhoiren.

That's my.

***

The Imperial Palace has been rebuilt. Now, the Imperial Palace will be my new residence due to my changed status.

I know a lot of worries that are on the minds of many parties including my own father. He had a little objection to my coronation. However, I tried hard not to make it as a stressful thing.

With Idris gone, I immediately stopped taking the headache painkillers given by Ava. It makes me feel a little healthy. I wish if I was healthy— psychologically.

There have been so many horrible things that I have been through. I learned a lot and met new people. Through my old life, I came to know that what I saw was good, not necessarily good. The person I thought was on my side, yet it was indeed on my side.

I experience shock in every sad event I experience. I felt lost, and then loved.

The Goddess of Virtue is mysterious. I cannot guess the true purpose of the Goddess. However, I am very grateful for all that the Goddess has given me.

Now, after all that I've achieved up to this point, I'm going to start making major changes for the sake of the entire welfare of Vanhoiren.

“Your Majesty, what are you writing?” chloe asked, she came over with tea and snacks for me who is now in the study.

I closed my notebook and smiled at Chloe. “Nothing. Have you started packing your things?”

“Ah, yes, Your Majesty. I've been packing since last night,” Chloe replied.

Me and my ladies and gentlemen will be on their way to the Imperial Palace before the first snow falls on Vanhoiren. Some servants would be transferred also to the Imperial Palace to replace some of the maids who were still in medical treatment.

“Dayang Jasmine and Dayang Matilda have also finished packing, Your Majesty. We are ready.”

I got out of my chair and moved on the couch. I started sipping my tea which was a bit hot. After that, I took my snack and ate it. It always feels consistent, I love Chloe's cake and all the food she's served me.

Chloe remained standing in her place, she looked at me eating snacks while smiling. I let it go and stayed focused on the banquet that Chloe gave me.

“Will Your Majesty immediately bring down the Expeditionary Team for hunting this time?”

Expedition Team, huh?

I don't really know them much but Hendery. Even the eldest son of the Franklin family had never seen his form openly. The Expedition Team was actually a group of young knights who were the best graduates of the Academy. The Empire indiscriminately put them all into this team with the supervision of the senior knights from the knight special camp.

Maybe I should get along with them all. Given later in the future, they can all help me in the face of some difficulties.

“Yes, Chloe.” I'm asserting. “After we move to the Imperial Palace, I will directly order the Expeditionary Team to begin a massive hunt together with all the knights who are under the auspices of the Empire.”

“But before that, I had to give knight Franklin a reward for the actions he had done to help me in danger back then,”.

Chloe's surprised. It's possible that he could immediately guess what I'd give Hendery a gift.

“Your Highness, don't-don't you will ...” Chloe was unable to continue her words.

I finally smiled. “Yes, Chloe. I'll give knight Franklin a peerage.”

As a Duke— like my promise to him first.
