Chapter 102: "To Battle, Again"

…

A week had passed, and the news about the princess of the Leon Clan spread all over the Nation. But to let Marvella be free to roam around, she used the onyx ring when she dealt with matters about the Primus classic wines, and removed it when she showed herself in assemblies. The coronation ceremony was kept private, but paintings of her became the latest trend in the capital as wall displays in family dining rooms. They said that her beauty alone could clench one's thirst.

One noon, Ezekiel, Ely, and Marvella had lunch together in the dining hall.

"Physician Solomon suggested it would be bad for Adam to move too much," Ely told them, "I will just bring him a tray of food later."

"Okay, mother... I hope you get closer to father. That would make me very happy."

But Ely only gave a lonesome smile.
