章節 75: Tears

[WARNING: The following chapter may cause discomfort and contains potentially distressing material.]

Three days after the king's announcement, Azalea's wedding and coronation took place. 

In the Magi customs, a queen was regarded of the same rank as the Judges. The Judges and Generals themselves had no issue in the matter since their jurisdictions fell on an entirely different area as the queen.  However, since Azalea was a human, most of the nobles and other high-ranking Magi treated her as mere decoration. 

Due to this, what was supposed to be a joyous wedding and coronation, became a plain and dull celebration. Azalea herself did not enjoy the fake pleasantries she heard from the multitudes of Magi and the other candidates that came to congratulate her. Only the girls from her house, Tétartos, and the wise ladies from Défteros, gave genuine greetings to her. They even brought gifts, which the others didn't bother to do.
