Mia stood in front of the throne, crown on her head and scepter in her hand. She felt like a million dollars. Clarisse was crying but they wernt tears of sadness but tears of joy for her beloved grandaughter. The audience all paid there congratulations to their new queen and adjurned to the room where the dinner was to be held. They were lead into the room by Charlotte and Joe. Clarisse walked over to Mia and threw her arms around her still crying.
"my darling, im so terribly proud of you, im the prudest grandmother in the world"
"thanks grandma, my head feels so light, im queen?"
"yes you are, Queen Amelia"
"you mean Queen Mia"
Mia and Clarisse laughed. Clarisse cupped Mias face in her hands and kissed her cheek.
"I love you so much"
"I love you too grandma, youre the best"
Clarisse linked her arm into Mia's and escorted her into the
dining room.
Mia leaned in and whispered o her grandma.
"hey is there anywhere i can leave the crown and scepter, the crown is kinda heavy and im scared of putting this down and loosing it"
"give the scepter to Joe and he'l put it in the palace safe but im afraid you have to keep the crown on, its your coronation darling"
Mia mumbled in french causing Clarisse to giggle. The two women took their seats at the top of the table and Mia stayed standing to say a speach.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Id like to thank each and everyone of you for attending today to see me being made Queen of this wonderful country, the loving Genovia. I promise all of you I will not let you down throughout my reign, I intend to make a difference to the people of my homeland. Before I finally let you all enjoy the 7 course meal my lovely kitchen staff have provided for you id like to quickly thank my grandmother Clarisse. Grandma, without your love and guidence, I wouldnt be here today as Queen. I love you very much and owe everything to you, thank you"
The dinner guests applauded the former Queen and a tear was shed by a few of the guests.
"I will now shut up so ENJOY!"
The waiters brought in the meal course by course, excited chatter filled the room. Mia finally felt that she was of use to something. Her country. No more was she invisible to the outside world, people depended on her and for the first time in her life Amelia Renaldi felt well and truly loved..
