Andy (Bella) POV:
Chariot ride to chapel
The day has arrived.
My best friend and newfound brother will be crowned King of Auradon.
I changing into the dress my biological mother made me wear.
I think I look absolutely ridiculous, but then I always say that I look ridiculous in a dress.
The dress I'm wearing is the golden dress my biological mom wore when she first danced with my father. It's a huge gown with it's wide skirt, so I really have to watch out I'm not tripping over it. Luckily, I didn't have to wear gloves. Those things are terribly itchy!
My hair is put up in a yarn ball with golden ribbons, and I look absolutely ridiculous!
"You're all done my dear." Madame Bousseau, my mother's personal designer, said. "Don't make your guy wait to long."
I just smiled to cover up how uncomfortable I felt in this dress before I walked out of the dressing room, watching my steps to prevent that I'd fall over the edges of the skirt.
When I stood outside, I saw Carlos standing there, dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and a red tie. His personal symbol was stitched on the right side of his chest.
His mouth open.
I laughed. "Carlos honey, would you please close your mouth?" I asked.
Carlos abruptly shut his mouth and became as red as a tomato. "Sorry, you're just... absolutely stunning."
"Thank you." I said.
Carlos held out his hand for me to take it.
As I connected my hand with his, I felt at ease again.
We walked out of Beast Castle and stepped in the first open carriage, pulled by 2 white horses.
My parents had left a few minutes before us, and my brother would follow 3 minutes after us.
As the carriage took off, we were greeted by loads of people standing on the side of the road, all civilians of Auradon.
I looked at Carlos. "Are you okay?"
Carlos nodded. "I'm just trying to imagine how my mother is going to react on the thing that I'm dating the Princess of Auradon."
I took his hands. "She can't reach you here hon."
"I know, but still." Carlos said.
"Don't think about it anymore." I said and smiled at him.
Third Person POV:
On the Isle of the Lost
The 4 villain parents were sitting on the couch in Maleficent's house, watching the Coronation.
"Are you still expecting your daughter to steal that wand?" Cruella asked.
"Of course! That on the chat was probably just an act to win over that Prince's heart." Maleficent replied while giving some popcorn to Jafar.
"Hello everybody! I'm Snow White, and I'll give you the reports on Coronation Day." Snow White said on the TV.
Evil Queen started throwing popcorn at the TV. "Of course she's Snow White, all that make-up and fakeness! Can't miss it!"
"And there comes the Princess!" Snow White said.
The camera moved to the moving carriage.
The 4 villain parents saw the camera closing up tot he carriage.
But when they saw the person who was with the Princess, they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Do you see what I see?" Cruella asked.
"We're all seeing the same!" Jafar called.
Snow White appeared back on the TV. "A Prince? Let's see who this daring man is." she said, taking the first golden envelope and opened it up. "Carlos de Vil."
"My son!" Cruella yelled.
"Stop yelling please." Maleficent said.
"It seems like this ex-villain kid won the heart of our tomboy Princess." Snow White said, looking back at the camera in front of her. "Ah, they've reached the entrance. And the Prince is coming!"
The other carriage came in view.
This time, the camera didn't make any close-up.
"That purple hair..." Evil Queen said. "Is that your daughter Maleficent?"
"Still with the Prince. Good, now we've got 2 chances." Maleficent said.
Bella / Andy POV:
First part Coronation
Me and Carlos walked up the stairs towards my parents, who were standing near the doors.
We both bowed and we went to the right side, making place for my brother.
Ben and Mal arrived in the same style as Carlos and I did. Once up the stairs, they bowed to Dad and Mom as well.
Dad placed his left hand firmly on Ben's right shoulder, looking at him with pride. "You'll make a fine King, my son."
"Thanks dad." Ben said with a smile.
Mom laid her right hand on my left shoulder. "Are you in for a surprise?"
"I don't know. The last days up to now have been surprises itself, what else could still be there?" I asked.
"You will see." Mom replied.
Dad held out his hand for Mom to take it, and when she did, they walked to the side entrance of the church.
I turned to Ben. "Good luck brother, I have faith in you." Then I left the scene to enter the church via the left side entrance.
We would stand both on the right side of the main entrance, Mal on the left side and Mom, Dad and Fairy Godmother upon the platform.
As we took our positions, the bells started to ring, signing the beginning of the Coronation.
"Silence!" A Guard said, who was dressed in a golden coloured suit.
Then the doors opened up, revealing Ben.
Ben slowly walked down the aisle.
The people he passed bowed for him.
Carlos, I and Mal did it too just before he passed us.
When Ben reached the stairs, he kneeled down on the 3rd step.
F.G. took the crown from Dad's head, walked over to Ben, and put it gently on his. Then she revealed her wand, Dad picked up the glass protection case and Mom picked the wand out of it's magic container (the reason the wand floated inside the glass protective case) and gave it to F.G. F.G. took her wand and took a few steps towards Ben. Then she started speaking. "Do you, Prince Benjamin Florian Devereux, promise to be good to your Kingdom and swear to protect it with all your might?"
"I swear, I'll promise." Ben vowed.
"Then I bless you with my magic," F.G. said, touching his right shoulder first with the side of her wand, then moved over his head to the other shoulder. "that will keep the barrier strong."
Magic from the wand shot up in the sky, activating some fireworks outside the church as well.
Ben got back on his feet.
Mom, Dad and F.G. now bowed for Ben before he turned around.
All the other attendants now bowed too, rising again after 5 seconds.
Dad stepped forward. "I will make my last proclamation, before my son will take over."
Everyone was quite surprised, except for Mom, Ben and F.G.
Ben smiled at me before he took his place beside Mal, letting me know it was about me.
I thought back about what mom said, just before Ben arrived. What could be the surprise dad had on his sleeve?
"I declare, that my daughter, Princess Andromeda, shall be the next ruler of Ulstead!"
"What?!" Queen Leah shouted, gaining all the attention. "You can't do that!"
"That's unfair!" Audrey yelled.
"Queen Leah, if you had wanted to keep the crown in your own line, you had kept your granddaughter in tone." Mom said. "Cause I believe you knew it that your daughter was cheating on my son."
Everybody gasped and looked at Mom before looking at a stunned Queen Leah.
"You don't have any proof of that!" Queen Leah said.
"I do have proof." Mom said. "An actual witness and it has been caught on camera. I am willingly to show it to the rest of the world if you don't want to give up your crown willingly."
Queen Leah had big eyes for a moment before she narrowed them. "Fine!" she called.
One of the Guards in a golden suit held a red pillow in front of her.
Queen Leah mocked some ugly words when she picked the silver-diamond crown off her head and laid it on the pillow. Then she crossed her arms.
The Guard with the pillow walked up to the front, laying the pillow down on the pillar where the wand had hovered before.
Mom nodded at me.
I slowly removed Carlos's hands from mine and kneeled down on the stairs.
F.G. laid her wand on the pillow, picked the crown from the pillow and placed it upon my head. She took her wand back and asked the same question to me. "Do you, Princess Andromeda Belle Devereux, promise to be good to your Kingdom and swear to protect it with all your might?"
"I swear, I'll promise." I vowed, just like my brother did.
F.G. placed her wand gently on my right shoulder. "Then I bless you with my magic." then she touched my right shoulder with the wand's side. "Rule well, and have faith in the decisions you make."
Magic left the wand again, shooting up into the sky.
I stood up and turned around.
Carlos offered his hand for me, and I took it.
We walked out of the church behind Ben, people bowing and rising again.
Once I stood outside, I reflected on my new position as Queen of Ulstead.
I know I won't be the perfect ruler, because I wasn't raised to inherit the throne since I was a second born child. But I do know, that with my friends by my side, everything will be alright. Ulstead will know who and what their new ruler is, cause I will show everybody my magic powers.
I am not afraid, anymore.
I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter.
