Adeline's heart skipped a beat when she felt the crown lightly touching her head. She parted her lips slightly and let out the breath that she had been holding in before the crown was placed on her head.
The moment the crown touched her head, a beautiful and short celebratory tune of music filled that quiet hall.
And Adeline's heart was filled with a sense of empowerment.
The corner of her lips curved up to form a soft smile and she thought to herself, "Whoa! I never thought that my confidence level would shoot up just by putting on a symbolic crown. I guess it does make a difference in the wearer's self-esteem."
She didn't hear what the Priest said to those who were present in the hall. Her mind was focused on the ticklish feeling that she was getting on the top of her head. The crown didn't feel like a burden unlike what she had thought.
