"Her Highness, Keliyah Eisa Anselm!"
Strange.
In front of her were the same doors she'd entered hundreds of times.
And two guards announcing her arrival to those inside.
But this time, it felt completely different.
Perhaps it was because guards hadn't called out 'Crown Princess Adriell' or 'Keliyah of the Guards'.
Instead, they'd shouted a name she'd never heard herself called before.
She'd already learned that sons being given two names--one of their own along with their father's--had become popular in the Serin Empire. And that women commonly adopted their husband's second name as a sort of identifier when they were married.
So it made sense for Kel to receive the name 'Anselm', Calix's father.
But what in the world did 'Eisa' mean?
And why had it suddenly become part of her name?
"All hail, Queen Eisa!"
