A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

she remained calm on the exterior, it was obvious that her inner self wasn’t calm at all.

“The transfer of power is usually bloody.
If you want to gain the respect and support of those elves down there, you have to show them enough will and guts for them to stand on your side,” Helena said to Sally in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Sally looked at her and said nothing.

Helena didn’t care in the least.
She raised her right hand, and a beam of silver light slowly converged in her palm.
A silver crown emerged on her palm, giving off glowing silver beams.

The music stopped suddenly, and the square fell into silence instantly too.
The elves looked up at that silver crown with an increasingly respectful gaze.

The queen wore the golden crown, while the silver crown belonged to the princess.

Wearing the silver crown would mean that Sally was the new elven princess, and had a noble status that was just below the queen.

“Sally, come forward,” Helena said to Sally.

Sally looked at that hovering silver crown, and hesitated for a brief moment.
Eventually, she still slowly moved in front of Helena.

“Sally, are you willing to become the princess of the elves, and protect the Wind Forest and all our people?” Helena asked loudly, looking into Sally’s eyes.

Her voice reverberated throughout the interior and exterior of Life Square.
Even those elves watching at the periphery could hear her clearly.

All the elves held their breaths as they watched Sally, waiting for the historical moment to come.

Sally looked at Helena and hesitated for some time before her gaze became resolute, and she nodded gravely.
“I am willing to protect the Wind Forest and all our people.”

Her voice, too, reverberated throughout the Wind Forest, and she specially emphasized the last three words.

“Very good.
Then, I shall declare you the princess of the elves on behalf of the queen.
You will take important responsibility to protect the elven race.” Helena nodded slightly as she placed the silver crown on Sally’s slightly lowered head with a solemn expression.

The silver crown was glistening under the sunlight.

Sally—standing on the platform in a long silvery dress—suddenly gained some noble queenly presence.
In a trance, all the elves seemed to have seen the image of Irina.

“Princess Sally!”

“Your Highness, Princess Sally!”

The elves in the square were kneeling as they paid their respects to Sally.
Next, cheers erupted everywhere.

They had just witnessed an historical moment.
They finally had a new princess after Irina deserted the Wind Forest.
A princess who would stand with them.

Most of the elves had a relieved smile on their faces.
It was very much in line with their expected development.
Many years down in the future, they and their descendents would continue to rule this forest and enjoy a high status.

Helena raised her hand, and the square slowly quieted down again.
The elves slowly stood up, and looked at the Tree of Life with a fervent gaze.

Every elven princess would receive the blessing and protection from the holy Tree of Life and an enhancement of strength.

“The great Tree of Life, your sincere believer and servant prays for your testimony.
Please acknowledge Sally’s identity and become her guardian tree.” Helena knelt in front of the Tree of Life and prayed sincerely.

“Are you worthy of it?”

A sarcastic voice appeared above the Tree of Life.
