章 60: Chapter 60 - Coronation (1)

  Esme stood in the hall, looking perplexed. "What do they mean by all hail the future Queen of the Dragon kingdom? 

She look to her side thinking that they are probably referring to one of the other ladies. She was even clapping for the supposed Queen until Ryan came to her and held her hand saying "My Queen, Let's go."

 "Huh? Esme stood looking Surprised. 

"The Contest is over My Queen" Ryan repeated.

"Oh..the contest is over?"

 "Yes.  Let's go" Ryan stretched out his hand again.

 "That's good" Esme sighed in relief.  She took Ryan's hand and they walked out of the banquet hall hand in hand. 

 Ryan led Esme to the Royal Garden to talk to her. He was feeling very happy and he thinks he should tell her his feelings even though he knew she would reject him. Which is why he is grateful that she won the contest. Because whoever wins the contest automatically becomes his Queen.
