Evelyn Wesley stood in behind he niece eying an annoying tangle of bright red hair that just didn't want to cooperate. She had arrived three days earlier to offer Serenity support through this whole affair. While she was proud of the young princess, the circumstances saddened her given Peter was like a second father to her. She had spent the las few days helping Serenity with anything she needed, sure she had everyone else at the Marble Palace for that but they had the bigger stuff to worry about, Evelyn could handle the little stuff. This included doing the young Princess Astrid's hair for the ceremony. Astrid flinched as the tangle finally came free and Evelyn began twisting the braids, doing a style she was quite proud of, a mix of traditional Achkaerin and Revanan styles that flowed quite well together.
"So have you ever done a coronoation before?" Astrid asked, fiddling with a hair tie that Evelyn had given her.
"Yes, four actually. One for my father, one for your father when he became Emperor, Your mother's when she became Queen of Revana, and mine just last year when I became Regent. Each one is different and unique, and always complicated." Evelyn said, deftly twisting a braid and securing it with a pin.
"When will I have to do it?" Astrid asked nervously.
"For Achkaerin, hopefully not for a very long time. Your coronation as Empress of Revana will be in 8 years on your 16th birthday, where you will take over for your mom and me. Don't worry we'll still be there to help you."
"8 years? That's forever away, I'll basically be an adult by then" Astrid laughed and went back to playing with the tie, her young mind not comprehending that her turn to take charge will be here faster than she thinks.
"There, now let's go find your mother and make sure she's happy with it." Evelyn smiled down at her, as she finished the hair. Astrid jumped up and ran out of the room, trailed by Evelyn as they went towards the source of the Piano.
