Chapter 369: Baroness
Andy soon agreed to Sasha's question and experienced his life from the beginning.
While experiencing, he also realized his mistakes, decisions, and many more.
He also learned about Sasha's original identity, part of her plan, and his involvement!
A few minutes later, he opened his eyes in the reception hall, knelt on the ground, and bowed his head."What are your orders, Your Grace?" He asked in a trembling tone.
Meanwhile, Sasha wore a pleased smile and waved her hand.
"You don't need to do much. You can continue your work and wait for the head of the Elliott family. He'll bring you some good news in a few days." Saying so, she turned illusionary and disappeared from there.
…
Royal Palace, Royal Street, City of Iron.
It was around 8 A.M.
At that moment, a black-haired young woman sat on the Iron Throne and looked down at the hundreds of people.She wore a one-shouldered pink tulle gown with elaborated flowers embroidery and sequins and appeared charming.
She had pale white skin, unique azure eyes, thin eyebrows, and an oval face.
She was none other than the Queen of Iron Kingdom, Rhea Boneflare!
She calmly looked at her subjects and shifted her gaze towards a particular couple seated in the front row.
One was a brown-haired young man, who appeared to be around 20 to 22 years old, while the other was a silver-haired young woman.
The young man had deep-set brown eyes, shadow nose bridge, fair skin, and a classic handlebar mustache under his nose.
Currently, he wore a double-breasted black coat, high waist pants, black boots, red cravat tie, bowler's hat, and a monocle.
The classic-looking young man was none other than Titus Jones!
Next to him was the silver-haired woman, who appeared to be around 25-years-old, had a pretty smooth face, sharp nose, and wore a floral ruffled gown.
She was Titus's current lover Daisy Elliott!
Although they had long decided on their marriage, they postponed it due to some political problems.
In truth, Daisy still belongs to the Elliott family.
If a woman from a Ruler Caste wants to marry a foreigner or a commoner, she needs to get the approval of three Ruler Caste members!
Not only that, but she also had to get permission from her family head!
What's more unbelievable was that her family head had every right to deny her request or send her off to another family in the name of political marriage!
In the past five years, her half-brother Tyler troubled her with silly reasons and tried his best to force her into political marriages.
If not for the Ancient Mage's protection, he might have captured Daisy and forced her to marry into some noble family.
'It all ends today.' A complicated smile appeared on Daisy's pretty face.
All these years, she worked harder for the kingdom, participated in many royal missions, and finally managed to become one of the seven Royal Mages!
She achieved this with much secrecy, and only a few people knew of this!
"You won, darling." A cold male voice echoed in her ears, causing her to nod subconsciously.
In truth, she didn't care about the Royal Mage job at all.
But what she cared about most were the privileges!
"The show is yet to begin, dear." She spoke as she adjusted her dress and then turned her gaze towards the right side.
At that moment, a blonde-haired man sat on the other side of the aisle and watched them coldly.
Anyone could tell that his almond blue eyes were clouded entirely with hate, anger, jealousy, and loathness with a single look.
The young man appeared to be around 25-years-old, had a square face, fair skin, and wore a single-breasted overcoat.
"Brother Tyler!" Daisy muttered under her breath and then shook her head in disappointment.
After her father's death, Tyler took control over the Elliott family and schemed with Foster Family to overthrow Rhea.
Unfortunately, they failed miserably and were forced into corners by Jessie's slave Nobles.
Then, Rhea also demoted Tyler from Viscount to a mere Baron and seized most of the lands under the Elliott family's control!
Still, he used his noble influence and troubled Daisy using every means.
It was as if Tyler was thinking of her as his mortal enemy!
While she was in muse, Rhea also looked at her and spoke with an authoritative voice.
"Daisy Elliott! Please step forward."
Daisy jerked up a little as she heard those words, stood up from her seat, and moved towards her right side aisle.
Then, she stepped on the red-carpeted floor, arrived near the dais, and then knelt on the floor.
"Daisy of Elliott family greets Her Majesty!" She said in a loud voice.
On the other hand, Rhea smiled charmingly, raised both her hands, and spoke.
"A Royal Mage doesn't need to kneel in front of a Ruler, Daisy. You can greet me with a polite bow from now on."
She paused for a moment, clapped her hands, and added.
"High Priestess, please bring the noble seal and emblem of Shadow Hawk."
A second later, a white-robed lady in her late sixties stood up from the front row and walked towards Daisy.
She had long, deep-blue hair, oceanic eyes, and a heart-shaped face and held a unique black coin-like emblem and golden box in her hand.
Upon seeing this, confusion appeared on many nobles' faces.
Baron Tyler also showed the same clueless look on his face.
Meanwhile, the High Priestess soon arrived near Daisy, gestured her to stand up, and gave her the golden box and emblem.
Then, she placed her hand on Daisy's head and started reciting a chant.
Simultaneously, Rhea stood up from her throne, touched her multi-colored Ruler's Ring, and asked.
"In the name of First King Ledger Boneflare, are you willing to protect the citizens and serve this kingdom for the rest of your life?"
The next instant, an oppressive aura erupted from her body and spread towards all parts of the Throne Hall, causing everyone to stand up in a hurry!
On the other hand, Daisy got stunned for a moment and soon nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Excellent!" A rare smile appeared on Rhea's delicate face as she touched her ring and announced.
"Then, I bestow you the title of 'Baroness' and appoint you as the lord of Eclipse Land."
The next second, the whole hall erupted in shocking gasps, shouts, and cheers!
The ones who showed joyous expressions were the Guards, servants, and commoner guests.
Meanwhile, Tyler's expression went unsightly!
He clenched his fist and slammed it against his thigh in anger.
'Does that mean she gained equal status as me? Royal Mage? How did she do it? NO! She is nothing but filth that was born from a lowly commoner's womb!' His hate towards his half-sister had reached its peak.
He glared at her back for a second and turned his gaze towards Rhea.
But the next instant, he couldn't help but lower his gaze due to the invisible power.
'Damn it! It's all because of this woman!' He cursed at her inwardly.
