CHAPTER FORTY

"Ready?" Shane asked as we waited outside the doors to the Throne Room.

"Nope." I replied, licking my lips. I was in an ellegant off-white gown with Royal red and blue colors as well, and it took four people just to get it in place so I could down the isle to the Throne. My hair had been pulled and poked and I was sure my scalp bled at one point as they decided on a hairstyle before they finally settled on leaving it down and just having a pair of braids around my head. And the shoes they had me in were painful, tight, and about four inches high so I'm pretty sure Shane was the only thing keeping me upright right now.

"You're going to be amazing." Shane smiled down at me and I couldn't help but smile back; what was it about him that made him always make me feel better.

"Doors in three." The coordinator pointed to us as she listen through an earpiece. "Two. One." She pointed at the doors as they opened and music started, everyone stood and stared at us, the cameras blinked into record and I took a deep breath.

"You look beautiful." Shane leaned down and whispered in my ear and I blushed as we started walking. The Throne suddenly seemed so far away, and I could barely walk. I don't think anyone's ever done a faceplant at their own coronation before. I tightened my grip on Shane's arm and he put his hand over mine reassuringly. I could hear people talking and murmuring, the reporters in languages I couldn't understand, some I couldn't even identify. But, I tried to focus on just walking without falling over, and Shane's even, comforting, soft breathing.

After what felt like a lifetime we reached the platform that the Throne was on and Shane helped me step up before he knelt down on one knee and kissed the back of my hand gently. I smiled and reached out to stroke his cheek; after all the heartbreak and confussion, we'd fought and I was still baffled as to how I got someone as amazing as him. Shane kissed the palm of my hand softly before he stood up and stepped back, leaving me to face the Arch Bishop.

"Miley Alexandra Ray Amelia." The Arch Bishop started and I bowed my head, I'd been coached, first I bowed my head, then I would vow, then I would kneel to be Crowned, then I would rise, take the ceremonial sceptre, orb, and dagger, then I would sit on the Throne. "Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God? Will you to the utmost of your power always make decission in the best interest of Cyrus and its Monarchy? Do you Vow to uphold the integrity of the Cyrus Monarchy? Do you Vow to abide the Sacred laws of the Monarchy until the day you die or are no longer able to do so?" The Arch Bishop asked sollemly and I gulped

"All this I promise to do." I said, my voice much clearer and confident than I felt. A Bible was then brought and the Arch Bishop held and I put my hand on the top with his aged hand on top of mine. "The things which I have here promised, I will perform, and keep. So help me God." I kissed the Bible as I had been instructed. The same Bible that all the former Monarchs - including Grandfather - had sworn to. And old book and a feather quil were brought out; the Oath that I had to sign. My hand was shakey as I carefully signed my name on the line. It felt clumsy and messy, but when I looked at the end result it was ellegant. How had I done that?

"With this Crown as a symbol of your status; the jewels of Gods Grace to bind your Oath." The Crown was placed on my head, it was heavy. Really heavy. I slowly rose, resisting the urge to put my arms out to ballance myself. "I behest you this sceptre, may you weild it with Justice." He handed me a solid gold sceptre that was taller than me and had jewels adorning the cross on the top. "I present you this dagger, to ward off enemies of Cyrus and its realms." The dagger had a solid gold handle with jewels, and a solid silver blade. I took it and slipped it into the hold for it on the dress. "I give this orb, with spirit and courage of your Ancestors, may they guide you in your journey." The orb was place in my hand and the ceremony was almost complete. The Arch Bishop stepped back and I slowly turned, almost tripping in the fabric of the gown, but luckilly it was all that fabric that stopped everyone seeing it.

I took a deep breath; everyone was looking at me, watching, waiting. I bit the inside of my bottom lip nervously and lowered myself into the Throne. Everyone stood and applauded; reporters were speaking excited forieng tones. I didn't feel any different, I didn't feel any more Queenly or anything.

Told you it'd be short. I don't really know how a Coronation goes, so this is the best I could come up with.
After this, I'm gonna wait a few weeks before I start uploading the sequel, Queen Diaries, and I'll focus on Eternity in that time. Don't worry, though, I promise there will be a Queen Diaries, I just want a little break before I jump back into doing 2 at once. So the next few updates I do will all be Eternity.
