"But... But Samantha Allport, who is here, I hereby declare her to be my third queen!"
"「「「「What!?"」」」」
With King Aivar's shocking declaration, the atmosphere in the venue froze.
Wow... It's a relief that it wasn't the line from "Engage Hazard," but this is just as insane.
In the midst of the New Year's celebration, where all the nobles of the kingdom have gathered, and with the two queens standing behind, to declare a mere mistress as a queen... It's beyond belief.
"Well! Your Majesty, I am truly delighted!"
"Yes, indeed!"
The only ones rejoicing are King Aivar and Samantha, while Margaret looks furious, and Rosemary seems resigned.
As for the nobles, they couldn't look more dismayed.
...No, there's someone else who's rejoicing.
"Mother...!"
It's Vikir, Samantha's son, with a face full of emotion.
