YM778.TV Chapter 963: LUCKY CHARM
The moment the sky bled, she already knew that it was enough to frighten the people.
She could even hear the panic in the commoners\' voices as they talked among themselves quite loudly.
[That and because I have sharp senses.]
"I knew it was a bad idea to watch His Imperial Majesty\'s coronation day!"
"The rumors are true– the new emperor is cursed!"
"We\'re all going to die!"
Hanna was about to say something to calm them down, when…
"No one is going to die!"
It was Princess Monik.
The young princess stood out because she was floating in the air.
[Queen Brigitte and King Glenn look very worried.]
Prince Claude, on the other hand, was clapping his hands while cheering on his big sister.
[What a nice family.]
More importantly, the young princess was working hard.
Aside from that, Princess Monik also used some kind of spell that allowed her voice to reach the people all the way in the back.
Moreover…
[Princess Monik\'s voice is enchanted– it allows her to capture the attention of people hearing her voice.]
Thanks to that, the people who were panicking a moment ago calmed down instantly.
[It must be her power as a future saintess.]
"Emperor Nero must have been cursed with terrible luck, but it wasn\'t His Imperial Majesty\'s fault!" Princess Monik said in a loud and clear voice. Although her words were a bit worrying, the enchantment in her voice kept the people calm. "The one who cursed the new emperor is the bad guy, and bad guys don\'t win!"
Ah, adorable.
[Princess Monik is bright and brave– she\'s really Queen Brigitte and King Glenn\'s daughter.]
Hanna wasn\'t the only one who thought that way.
"It\'s the young princess from the Hazelden Kingdom…"
"The young princess speaks well…"
"Her Highness is right, though– the one who cursed our new emperor was the bad guy…"
Princess Monik\'s words seemed to have reached the people.
But the young princess wasn\'t done yet.
"And it doesn\'t matter even if His Imperial Majesty is cursed with bad luck!" Princess Monik said, giggling. "Our emperor has a lucky charm that can drive away the bad energy here!"
Then the young princess pointed a finger at the bleeding sky.
"Everyone, have you seen a beautiful princess riding on a big dragon before?"
Of course, everyone looked up automatically.
Princess Monik then giggled while looking up at the sky as well. "Now we all have!"
Ah.
Hanna laughed softly when she saw Neoma riding on her Soul Beast\'s dragon form.
The Imperial Princess was yelling, but she was too far to hear it or read her lips.
[But I bet Neoma is cursing.]
***
[THESE fucking bitches.]
Neoma saw Helstor and the Goddess of Misfortune whose name she had already forgotten suspended in the air, looking down at Nero.
[I wanna drag those two to the ground, but…]
She endured for now.
Crimson was still kind of rebelling against her.
In fact, she could barely control him.
Neoma\'s words worked on Crimson, so she was able to order him to transform into his dragon form and bring her to the People\'s Palace where the ceremony was taking place.
However, she could tell that Crimson was fighting hard against her \'mind control.\'
[I must hurry.]
Hence, Neoma flew past Helstor and the Goddess of Misfortune. "Crimson, we\'re landing on the balcony– now!"
Crimson, in his dragon form, roared loudly– causing a skyquake.
[Gosh, so nasty-tempered.]
Fortunately, the dragon didn\'t breathe fire.
Neoma stood up properly when she was near the balcony, and then she jumped and landed on the railing gracefully.
Crimson, still in his dragon form, suddenly stopped flying mid-air.
The Soul Beast couldn\'t move because Neoma trapped him inside a huge Sphere large enough to contain the adult dragon inside.
Yeah, she could do that.
[Sometimes, my own OP-ness scares me.]
"Neoma, why do you have that?"
"That\'s the first thing you say to me?" Neoma asked, smiling at her twin brother. And then she glanced at the beautiful sword in her hand– it was none other than Calypso, the sword that Nero used to pierce her heart in the first timeline. "This is the symbol of a de Moonasterion emperor\'s power– so I want my baby brother to have it."
***
["NERO, it was supposed to my duty as the emperor to pass down Calypso to you as soon as you were declared the Crown Prince, but I didn\'t. Do you resent me?"]
["No, Father. I wouldn\'t have accepted Calypso had you given it to me."]
["Why? Calypso is a part of your inheritance as the next emperor. Moreover, it\'s THE Holy Sword that everyone in the empire– including little kids– recognizes. It\'s the symbol of the Imperial Family\'s power. Don\'t you think it will help you establish yourself as the new emperor if you have Calypso in your hand?"]
["That\'s true, Father. Even so, I wouldn\'t want to wield the same weapon that I used to kill Neoma in the past. Although I would rather stab myself than stab Neoma again with that cursed sword, I couldn\'t be too complacent. Hence, it would be better for me not to get my hands on Calypso– no matter the consequences."]
That was the last conversation Nikolai had with Nero regarding Calypso.
He respected his son\'s decision because even he himself didn\'t want to pass down the weapon that killed his daughter in the past.
But said daughter asked for Calypso herself.
Nikolai sent Calypso to Neoma by using his Soul Beasts as \'deliverymen.\'
[Haaah.]
"It will be alright, Nikolai," Mona said while patting his back. "Neoma probably has a plan. She wouldn\'t ask for Calypso for nothing."
"You really think so, my love?"
"…"
"…"
"Can I be honest?"
"Of course."
Mona sighed while shaking her head. "Neoma probably only asked for Calypso for her grand entrance."
Pfft.
Nikolai laughed softly while nodding. "I had the same thought, my love."
***
"TAKE the Holy Sword, Nero."
Right.
Calypso was the Holy Sword.
Nero extended his hand, reaching for the sword that Neoma was giving him.
And when the Imperial Twins\' fingers touched…
… Neoma and Nero fainted at the same time.
[Here comes the grand entrance...!]
