in that dark day. misery was put off as the palace was brightened and lit by the echoing sounds of the chants that hailed the queen in her crowning. and slowly.. when the crowning ceremony ended. all the important people from the different segments of soceity left. the grand priest followed by his scholars. the royal general with his officers and workers. the prime minister with his ministers.. and at dawn. where the queen left the palace.. the sun was slowly falling. and night taking over. marking this day the day lohasy sat on the throne her father used to sit on and rule the empire. the queen could be seen on the balcony. staring into the horizon from the same place she used to stand and stare at it with her father.
