Chapter 2: Coronation
May 1, 2019 brought a special day for Emperor Hirohito, who had been in heaven since January 7, 1989.
"My grandson is going to become emperor today," Hirohito told Louis and Anne. "Won't you join me?"
They nodded and arrived in the Tokyo Imperial Palace to watch the coronation of Akihito's son, Naruhito. Hirohito had tears in his eyes.
"My son has been a fine emperor," he said. "I'm so proud of him."
Hirohito introduced Louis and Anne to his father Taisho and his grandfather Meiji.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Taisho said. "I'm glad my son made some friends."
The five went for a walk in the woods where they found King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. They were introduced to Hirohito.
"It's nice to meet new people," said Louis as he gave Anne a kiss on the cheek.
"Yes it is," replied Anne. She put an arm around Louis' waist.
