"This world is beautiful, isn't it?" Gunnar looked at Enma who was shocked and amazed by the Aersland World and their civilization. "But it was different back then. Everything you see right now is all new," Gunnar explained.
"Yeah, I saw it from Lillith's memories. You guys fought the demon princesses here, right?" Enma looked at the ground under her feet and then turned around to look at the damage on the Lucifer Tower's walls.
"It was hellish, but we managed to hold them off until the boss came," Gunnar said as he fixed his suit that looked so tight on his body.
Enma chuckled because it was cute to see Gunnar so nervous that she wanted to tease him. She then gently fixed the collar and tightened his tie. She then looked at the familiar faces and new faces behind her. Nexus, Lexus, Euros, Manna, Shelly, and the rest were there as well since Mykel wanted them to come.
Jeanne wasn't with them since she stayed in Aersland a day before the coronation day. She had to be there for Brynhilde and since she was also the princess of Aersland World, she had to be by Brynhilde's side.
"No matter how I try to look good in a suit, I can't be compared to him. I bought this suit for a million Zeny and it looked ugly!" Sven said as he looked at the sleeves and the bottom part of the suit that seemed too long.
"Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it will look good on your body. A suit is better to be custom made, and that's exactly what Mykel said to you boys," Lillith said in a dark green dress.
"You look good in that though," Sven said as he looked at Lillith's dress.
"Of course. Because Miss Lyneth personally helped me choose this dress. Nagy and Agnez's dresses were picked by her as well," Nagy answered.
Manna was in her full-plate armor with a dark blue fur coat that covered the left side of her body and a sword that was sheathed on her right waist. She wore a crystal crown with sapphires that decorated the crown since she was known as the Empress from another world.
"That's a really tight dress, Agnez," Manna said as she could look at the curves of Agnez's back and butt. She wore a black dress that revealed her back and left shoulder.
"Just feel like it," Agnez answered as she looked at Manna from over her shoulder. "Don't touch, this body belongs to someone," Agnez smirked and then looked to the front again.
Mykel and Lyneth walked to the front, and he was showing the city to her. The people of Aersland lowered their heads at him, and it made Lyneth feel a bit uncomfortable. She had never been treated like a God before, and it was because she wasn't one, so that was why she felt that way.
"Do I really have to come?" Lyneth felt restless.
"I told them that I had someone special. Of course, they're all curious who that person might be, and that's why you're here right now," Mykel replied with a smile. "If the Gods respect you, then mortals should respect you as well," Mykel continued.
Lyneth looked Mykel in the eye and felt joy in her heart as she started to fluster.
Gaswin waited for them near the sky station where the blimps were. A special blimp that was meant only to be used by royalty. A blimp with gold as its decoration.
They all entered the blimp and went to the sky station in the Aersland capital city. They could hear the people cheering and waving their hands at them even though they hadn't landed yet. They all waited for their arrival since the Emperor and the Empress had informed them that Mykel and the heroes were coming to attend the coronation day.
All the way to the cathedral where the coronation took place, they saw people crying and cheering to show their gratitude through the windows of their carriage. Gunnar, Rozan, and Sven were waving their hands at them with huge grins on their faces since they saw familiar faces who were there to rebuild the city with them.
They entered the cathedral and immediately could feel how sacred the place was because nobody was speaking and it was so quiet. Everyone stood up and bowed their heads at Mykel to show him respect as he walked toward the altar.
Jeanne wore a gold dress and tied her hair with an accessory on her forehead and around her head. Her dress was specifically made for her by the famous dresser in Aersland. She looked like a princess, and how dignified she looked compared to Agnez and the other ladies.
They all went to the side as the Empress showed them. Mykel walked up to the altar and stood right next to Jeanne. They all waited for the woman of the day since Brynhilde was still on their way to the cathedral from the palace.
"Nervous?" Jeanne asked since Mykel would be the one who gave the crown to Brynhilde.
"No. This isn't the first time. I gave Manna the crown a while back," Mykel answered as he pointed at the crown that Manna wore.
Jeanne hummed as she looked at Manna who was admired because of how tall she was. Suddenly they heard the trumpets being sounded, and everyone immediately stood up and looked at the entrance.
Two royal knights were slowly opening the door, and Brynhilde in her all-white gown stood at the door and stared at the altar. She looked so nervous, but she started walking so slowly as the people watched her from the sides.
Brynhilde held her composure and didn't show any expression as she stood in front of the altar. Hildegarde looked at Mykel and slowly nodded her head to give him the signal to approach Brynhilde.
Mykel walked down the steps as Alberta followed him from behind with the pillow with a crown on it. Mykel activated [True Daemon] and showed off his six wide white feather wings on his back.
The wings kept expanding so that everyone looked at them in awe and disbelief. Their eyes and mouths were wide open, and they immediately covered their mouths as the wind hit their faces from Mykel flapping his wings.
"I'm not the only one that will witness your coronation today, Brynhilde," Mykel said.
Suddenly portals were opening up right behind Mykel. Loki, Freyja, Hera, and the other Gods appeared right behind him and stood tall on the first step to the altar. All of them went down to their knees and pressed their hands together because of the divine aura that those Gods and Goddesses oozed.
Mykel grabbed the crown and then Manna went down on her knees while everyone silently watched her from the sides. He then looked at Alberta and nodded his head.
"In the presence of the Gods and Goddesses, we ask for your grace and blessing upon this person, Brynhilde, daughter of Bryndel that as by the imposition of our hands, she is this day crowned Empress," Alberta said with her trembling voice because of the presence of the Gods behind her.
Mykel slowly put the golden crown on top of Brynhilde's head and removed his hands.
"I solemnly promise and swear to govern the People of the Aersland Empire as the Gods as my witness," Brynhilde replied as she kept lowering her head.
"Brynhilde, daughter of Bryndel. Rise," Mykel said as he folded his wings. Brynhilde was trembling as she slowly stood up, and then she looked Mykel in the eye. "We the gods acknowledge you as the ruler of Aersland," Mykel smiled gently as he nodded his head.
Everyone was cheering for her as they clapped their hands with excitement.
Jeanne looked at Mykel being surrounded by Gods, and they all stood equally as him. It reminded her of the talk she had with Mykel in the Babel Tower. She imagined herself standing amongst them, and was curious as to how it felt to be a part of them.
Loki and the other Gods were invited by Brynhilde to join the feast, and they didn't decline the offer. The reason why Mykel brought them all there was to show Jeanne and to give her a new goal. He could tell that Jeanne was staring at him, and was eager to talk about it.
"It's time for a feast. Why don't we continue the conversation we had?" Mykel asked as he offered his hand.
Jeanne smiled and nodded.
