Nero got up from the bed and looked at naked Leto on the bed.
"You filled sowhere else," Leto muttered as she hugged Nero from behind.
"I couldn't hold myself back after seeing the mischievous smile and imposing glance of yours."
Leto stood up from the bed, and turned Nero to her, then said, "I will miss my ti with you. They are the best monts of my life."
Nero kissed Leto and patted her on the head, saying, "You can talk with whenever you want, so if you ever feel lonely, just whisper my na on the ring, and your voice will reach ."
"But I won't be able to touch you or feel your warmth," Leto replied with a sad look on her face.
"If you miss too much, then I will fly to you. You are as precious to as the rest are."
After hugging Nero for a while, Leto nodded and said with a grin on her face, "Shall we go now. You are getting late, right?"
"Wear your clothes first." Nero sat Leto on the bed and helped her wear clothes.
"I can do it on my—" Nero kissed Leto so she couldn't speak and continued helping her wear clothes.
"You are a Queen, and a Queen deserves to be treated like a Queen."
"I have never heard anyone call Queen as much as you did," Leto remarked.
Nero conjured his clothes and kissed Leto, saying, "You are my Queen, and nothing will change that."
Leto kissed Nero and replied, "And you are my king."
Nero carried Leto in his arms and left the room.
"What are you doing?!" Leto exclaid. "Please let down."
"What's wrong? You don't like your throne?" Nero teased with a grin on his face.
Leto stayed silent and wrapped her arms around Nero: "If you act too sweet with , then it will get hard for to let you go."
"Is that so? Then do you want to act rude to you?"
"No." Leto shook her head violently and hugged Nero.
Nero chuckled and carried Leto to where Asteria and the rest were.
"You can put down now," Leto said in a ek manner.
Emilia stared at Nero and squinted her eyes: "It was a long al," she comnted.
"Yes, and I enjoyed it," Nero replied.
Of course, they both knew what they were talking about.
"Are we leaving now?" Asteria asked with an anxious look on her face.
"Soon, yes. You can pack your stuff if you want, but don't take any valuables or clothes since you won't need them," Nero answered.
Asteria hugged Leto and started crying.
Leto patted Asteria and rubbed her back, saying, "Don't cry, my child. You are going to see the world from the fairy tale with your own eyes."
"But… I don't want to leave you."
Asteria had spent her entire life with Leto, and she was always dependent on Leto for everything. She thought Leto would always stay by her side, but now that she was going to Leave Leto, she realized how hard it was for her to say goodbye to her.
Nero couldn't watch it anymore, so he opened his mouth to say, "If you—"
But before he could say any more words, he saw Leto shaking her head as though she was asking Nero not to say that.
Leto was sacrificing her future for Asteria by staying behind to take care of the kingdom and the continent. She was sacrificing all her suffering and dreams for Asteria, and she wanted Asteria to experience all the happiness she couldn't experience.
No love could surpass a mother's love.
Leto cradled Asteria's face and said, "It's not like we will never see each other again. If you ever feel like talking to , you can ask Zeus, and he will let you talk to . And if you ever feel like seeing or visiting , then you may as well ask Zeus; I am sure he would be happy to bring you to ."
"I understand," Asteria nodded.
"Good girl. Now go take anything you want."
"There is nothing I want. I have no happy mories of this place aside from my ti with you, so all I can take is all those happy mories."
Leto turned to Nero and said, "Can I be a little selfish?"
"Go ahead," Nero nodded.
"I want to do a coronation ceremony— with you as a king and as a Queen. Can we?" Leto asked while fidgeting.
"Sure," Nero instantly agreed.
A wide smile appeared on Leto's face as she turned around and said, "I will be right back."
'I can do anything to protect that smile,' Nero promised to himself.
Sophia nudged Nero with her elbow and uttered, "King Zeus, eh?"
"There is a nice ring to it, no?"
"Indeed." Sophia nodded and glanced at Emilia.
Emilia bit her thumbnail and uttered, "Queen Emilia. It suits , don't you think?"
Nero averted his gaze and decided to ignore Emilia.
After a while, Leto ca back with a dium-sized golden casket in her hands.
They all walked to the balcony and looked down at the demons working on different things.
Nero clapped once, and all the demons stopped working; they kneeled and looked up at Nero.
"Listen, you lambs. Stay quiet, and enjoy the ceremony."
Nero glanced at Leto and Asteria and gestured to them to co forward.
Emilia was standing beside Nero, and Sophia was behind Nero. So Sophia pulled Emilia back and forced her to stand behind Nero.
Leto walked forward and stood on the right side of Nero, and Asteria stood on the left.
"I have already ordered you on what to do and what not to do. And I hope you all understood that. Try to defy , and you shall et a painful end," he said aloud.
He glanced at Leto and nodded.
Leto opened the box and took out a golden crown with beautiful ornates on it.
After looking at the crown, Nero raised his brows and asked, "Is this the crown that shitty king used to wear?"
"No." Leto shook her head and continued, "This crown has been passed on from kings to kings during their coronation. And since there was no coronation during 'his' ti, I had secretly hidden this crown in the hope of the day you would co and save us."
"I see."
Leto held the crown with her hands and raised it to Nero's head: "Can you… bow down a little?"
Nero bowed down a little, and Leto placed the crown on his head.
"It suits you," Leto remarked.
"I bet it does."
Nero looked down at all the demons and wondered, 'I can do better.'
He raised his hand in the air and conjured a crown made of crystal.
It was a multicolored crown and had ornates of flowers, thorns, fangs, and horns on it.
Nero released a little of his raw mana inside it, and the crown started shining.
"It will change color depending on your mood," Nero asserted and placed the crown on Leto's head.
"Does it suit ?" Leto asked with a concerned look on her face.
"You were born to wear this crown."
Nero held Leto's hand and raised it: "I, the demon lord of the first hell and Surtr slayer, hereby announce that—Queen Leto, the first mber of my 'Olympian Sect', shall use my na in her every decision, and every single word that cos out of her mouth is akin to my words, my orders."
"She shall speak on my behalf, and I grant her permission to use my na under any and every circumstance."
