Brittany stood by his side, her regal presence captivating. Dressed in a gown that shimmered like starlight, she was the embodiment of grace and power, every bit the queen Cymeria needed. She looked out at the people, then at Alex, her expression filled with love and determination.
"Are you ready?" Brittany asked, her voice soft but steady.
Alex smiled, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "Always."
As they prepared to walk down the grand path toward the raised platform where the ceremony would take place, Alex couldn't help but glance up at the interface that only he could see. The quest was still active, and he knew the mercenaries were likely nearby. But for now, he pushed that thought aside. Today was about Brittany.
And when the moment came, he would be ready.
With a deep breath, they stepped forward, and the crowd erupted in cheers. The kingdom was ready to witness the dawn of a new era.
