Second chance at happiness   Coronation-2
Jack and his team made their way to their position in the procession. Everyone was excited. This was their first time participating in the procession. Anne-Marie could help but keep looking at the bear within the sun printed on the smock. This was the only differentiating factor in the smocks. Every smock had the insignia of the duchy printed within the country flag which was painted on the front and back of the smock. Not even Matthew and Harry had attended one of these events.The previous king didnât have a coronation, he upsurged the throne in anger. The coronation before that was more than 50 years ago and the ones who could remember the event could be counted on fingers as the event was not open to everyone. In the past, the coronation was only attended by the nobility. This was one of Corneliusâs reforms even though he never had a coronation; Everyone citizen, noble, freeman or slave could attend the coronation.In line with the past traditions, the bells at the clock tower rang

âBy this holy oil and the power bestowed on me by the ancestors and your Royal father, I anoint you as king of Hal from this moment forthâ The chief of the elder priests poured the holy oil using the ceremonial spoon on Orseusâs head.The elders of each adorned him with golden spurs and armills. The grand dukes along with Knight commander Parker Hemmington knelt on the ground raising the four swords above the heads pledging their allegiance once the Elders finished and stepped aside. Each of the elders, blessed the sword and passed it finally to the chief elder; each time the chief elder would raise the sword and present it to Orseus who was seated on the high throne proclaiming-âWith the swords of righteousness, do justice, protect the faith of the ancestors, help and defend widows and orphans, restore the things that are perishing due to our negligence, maintain that which have been restored by the life force of your ancestors, punish and reform what is unjust all the while upholdi

Similar to the sacred hall, everyone gathered in the grand hall according to their status. However, unlike the ceremony in the sacred hall not everyone attended. It was attended only by those who had an invitation among the freemen and servants.Jack and his entourage walked into the hall under the lead of Harrison and Lazarus to the section reserved for the Southamberston. Joan and Emma watched as they saw their family walking through the crowd unhindered under the protection of the Southamberston guards first with wide open mouths and then slowly gritted their teeth in resentment as they thought of their plight where they were waiting in the crowd.Emma clenched her fists as she threw a resentful glare at Joan whom she decided was the cause of all her misery; if it were not for Joan, she would be the one wearing that beautiful gown and walking through the crowd with her head held high, attracting the envy of the crowd. Joan did not notice the resentment in Emmaâs gaze as she wasnât

In a forsaken corner of the city stood an old forgotten cabin. Inside the wooden cabin that was dark, dingy and stinky, a figure was slouched on the floor like a piece of rag. The wind howled relentlessly protesting the injustice and brutality, but the cloudy sky seemed like heavens closed its eyes.The sound of horse hoofbeats broke the symphony of the lamenting wind. A decent looking carriage moved through the dark night towards the cabin. The horses neighed as they were halted to stop.Inside the cabin, the figure struggled to get up at the sound of a carriage stopping outside the cabin. Hope ignited in her heart; She was unwilling to believe⌠maybe, just maybeâŚ...The door was pushed open, and a well- dressed man and woman entered.âJasonâŚ.â The figure called out in a feeble attempt.âNot dead yet?â A disdainful male voice sounded.âWhy?â Mira raised her head painfully with every ounce of her strength. She had to knowâŚ. She had to know why the man she loved from the age of 10, the

Mira felt a small light lighting her path in the darkness. She wondered if she was being guided on the way to hell for her deeds. She stepped in the path lighted by the small light. She was ready⌠she deserved itâŚ.Her life flashed past as she followed the small light engulfed in the darkness around her⌠Everything made sense to her. The seal that the wicked couple was talking about was not her fatherâs seal of authority as the âHead of Trade and Book of hereditary rightsâ but the seal that belonged to the Zumerong estate. The Zumerong was one of the oldest and most prestigious families in the old world, but due to a political unrest, the family had to leave the city under the cover of the night some 15 years ago and no one had heard about them ever since.The Zumerong seal was given to her father by his best friend who was the heir apparent to the estate for safe keeping until they returned. He didnât want the seal to fall in the wrong hands if they met with trouble on their way. He

Jackson pursed his lips. He didnât know whether to believe or not. He had also read about rebirth and reincarnation in ancient textsâŚ. But they were all mythsâŚ. No one had ever reported or seen anyone proof.âI donât want you to make a hasty decision.â Mira smiled. âI will give you a small proof.âJackson raised his eyebrows skeptically; it would be a lie to say that his interest was not aroused.âGive me the parchments, unlock the door and hide behind the curtain. Donât make a sound.â Miraâs lips hooked up with a knowing smile âIf I am not mistaken, Jason should be coming in anytime. He will come in apologizing for all the pain he put me through.âJackson felt that her smile was becoming brighter and more charming. He stared half dazed in her smile.âHe will pretend to be very happy when I tell him about you agreeing to null the marriage but then become sorrowful as he tells me that this was not right time and that he finally has a chance to be appointed as one of the advisors at the

On the way back, Mira told Jackson that she wanted to stop by the village supply shop and buy something for his aunt and family. She had borrowed some money from her father but didnât tell him.âLetâs do it another day.â Jackson couldnât wait to get home and be alone with his wife. The other reason was, he didnât have enough money in his pocket. Everything he had saved up for the month was used up for her at the healerâs place.âThatâs okayâŚ. Just a quick lookâŚ. PleaseâŚ. pleaseâŚ.â Mira blinked pitifully.âAlright.â Jackson couldnât bear to refuse. He planned to ask the shop keeper to open a borrowerâs account for him. This was common in this era. Most people would have this sort of borrowerâs account against their household with the supply shop, the butcher, the milkman and so on⌠There were only few individuals who could pay as soon as they bought something, others would pay it off slowly or when they got their wages or sold their harvest.Mira also wanted to look at the items in the

Jackson went to the nearby woods to get some wood as soon as they got home. He had to solve the problem to the henâs cage since they had already bought the hen.Mira started to prepare supper. It was nothing special. Just some roasted vegetables and porridge. That was all they had.Mira sat thinking about how she could make money while the porridge cooked. She remembered how she had learned to sew in her past life after she divorced Jackson and had gotten married to Jason. At that time, it was more a passing fancy for her to kill time as Jason was never home; he was always meeting up with people in the big city and at the kingâs court.Heh! She was too naĂŻve⌠he must have been holed up with Alina. Mira shook her head to free herself of the thoughts of the vicious couple. Thinking back to the sewing lessons she learnt, she didnât know if she had really learnt anything worthwhile. She had to try to see if it was any good.She was very good at embroidery⌠Ursula had taught her well since

The arrangement for the coronation ceremony was slightly different from previous years to increase efficiency. In the previous years, the elite of the society met in the palace hall and joined the procession after breakfast. This year, the palace guards formed 20 parking stations and associated tents for the nobility and 20 parking stations with tents for commoners although the facilities in the tent were not comparable to that of nobility; Each carriage that would park at any one of these stations where the palace guards would provide the smocks in the color identifying their social status.The concept of wearing this head-to-toe smock was to represent the flag which was the rising sun. The royal family and their household would be wearing golden smocks; similarly, the grand dukes and their household would be wearing orange, the dukes and their household would be amber, the lords would be yellow mixed with amber, nobles, scholars, merchants of high status in bright yellow, commoners i
Second chance at happiness   Who stole my husbandâs soul?
âI am afraid I have to disappoint you.â Thomasâs lips curled up as he remembered his banter with Mira. âYour Grace is being modest.â Ecky shook his head in denial as he thought âNo one would be able to match his masterâ. Thomas chuckled as he let Ecky help him dress. Although he was no longer in a panic to rush to Almeraâs side, he still got ready hurriedly. He had figured out the reason for her scream, now it was more out of curiosity⌠curious what shock Mira had given his wife. Almera had just finished dressing and walked into the main lounge when she saw Thomas staring at her in a daze like a fool. âWho stole my husbandâs soul?â Almera giggled as she walked up to him. Who didnât like to see undisguised admiration and infatuation in their loverâs eye? âThe enchantress is before meâŚâ Thomas whispered as he hugged Almeraâs waist claiming sovereignty âBut I will be gladly held captive by her for all eternity.â âSomeoneâs got their mouth in the honey jar... TskâŚ. tskâŚâ Almera feign
Second chance at happiness   Everyone looks handsome, but no one looks better than my beautiful wife
âEveryone looks âŚâ Mira clasped her hands feeling overwhelmingly happy. She never thought that her dream of freeing Jackâs family would come true so soon even though she arrogantly declared that she would free them. She never thought that she would have a chance to celebrate so handsomely; all she wanted and was working hard for was to keep everyone safeâŚeveryone she failed to protect in her miserable past life. âYes, everyone looks handsome, but no one looks better than my beautiful wife.â Jack laughed lightly to lighten the mood while he gently massaged her back to calm her emotions. He knew what was on her mind⌠she had told him of the miserable past life. âCousinâs wife, who among us the most handsome?â Martin took the bat from Jack and made handsome pose. He realized something was wrong with Miraâs mood; not because he knew Mira⌠but he knew his cousin. âOf course, my husband.â Mira laughed as she raised her chin like a proud peacock, forgetting her previous guilt. Everyone lau

âGood heavensâ Beth, Ursula and Agnes shrieked at the same time as they saw their jewelry sets. They had opened theirs in curiosity as they saw Anne-Marieâs set but never in their wildest dream did any of them expect this.âDo you like it?â Mira raised her eyebrows playfully feeling pleased inside as she saw their joy.âThisâŚ. this ⌠this is more expensive than anything I have ever touched.â Bethâs eyes were wide in shock âMy dear girlâŚ. This⌠this I canât âŚ. You keep it.â She anxiously tried to push the set back to Mira.âAunt, this is what we bought for you.â Mira pouted feigning a wronged expression âYou canât despise us.ââDespise??? Good lordâŚ.â Beth shook her head frantically âThis is like the stars in heavens⌠how can I despise it?â She stuttered âItâsâŚ. itâs just âŚ. Just that I am not worthy.ââNot worthy?â Mira made a furious expression âSays who?â She looked at Oden, Martin and Anne-Marie with a menacing eye daring them to speak.None of the had recovered from the shock of th

Jack and Mira set off early in the morning along with Lazarus and two of men. She made Almera promise that she wouldnât look at the dress before it was time for her to wear it tomorrow and handed the basket that was tightly wrapped.She collected the completed suits for the men before settling into gossip. Jack sat by without interrupting as Thomas couldnât make it to give him company. With just one day to the coronation and being sworn brothers with the crown prince, Thomas would be lucky if he had time to relieve himself.Almera told Mira all about Lottaâs fate. Mira couldnât help but sigh with sympathy although she would never forgive her for putting Jack in such a miserable state. Along with all the gossip, she also told Mira how well-behaved Danielle had been since the competition.Hats for men were bought from menâs fashion emporium that Almera had recommended. They were the latest in-fashion for court wear; Navy blue felt in cavalier style with embroidery in golden threads and a

Oden never knew that a man of businessâs life was so busy. The pace at Sleghâs that he was used to, was relaxed and leisurely in a polite languageâŚ. if one was perfectly honest, then they would call it sloppy. His admiration for Carl grew as he watched and learned. Even though he was swept off his feet, Oden didnât slack even for a second. He knew his cousin was destined for bigger things and he couldnât drag him down. Even with the limited resources he had, his cousin and wife managed to build what they had today, what would happen in future now that they had the resources of dukedom? He was their big cousin; he had to shield them in his own way⌠and the only way was to grow stronger.Martin was busy with winding up all his tasks at the smithery and also his new hobby that he hadnât disclosed to anyoneâŚ. this was his little secret. Luckily, everyone was run of their feet, and no one noticed. Beth wasnât idle either. She was busy supervising the maids with the meals for everyone. It wa
