(King of Ev)

*October 30th, 1905*

*Ev Kingdom*

One week had passed since the royal family was saved as it was now officially time for Evardo's coronation for the next ruler of Ev as everyone was getting ready for the big day.

"Can't believe Evardo is gonna be crowned today, I bet the event is gonna be huge since plenty of people are coming" Dorothy had spoken out to Ozma while she was brushing her hair while Ozma nodded her head in agreement.

"I agree, it's gonna be awhile before Evardo marries since he's not interested in marriage right now so there's not gonna be a Queen or anything for the time being but regardless, things are looking pretty bright for the Land of Ev." Ozma had spoken back to Dorothy as this made the girl smile.

"I'm glad, I know that Evadne is gonna be happy to see her son fulfill his father's footsteps but what about her? Does she still plan on becoming involved in the political affairs of this country?" Dorothy had asked her friend in a tone of curiosity while putting on one of the finest dresses which Evanna had given her the other day.

"Nope, she plans on stepping down and leaving everything to Evardo and whoever becomes Queen of this land and it's quite a wise choice considering that Evoldo wasn't really a just and fair ruler.." Ozma had responded back as this made Dorothy nod her head in undersandment.

"That's true, Evoldo wasn't really a good ruler and he had no regard for his family nor the people who was meant to look out for due to his cruel nature; however, I'm very certain that Evardo will be a kind, gentle, and just ruler" Dorothy had spoken back to her friend as the two girls were officially done getting ready for the big day as the pair walked out of their rooms which was noticed by Evanna.

"Good Morning, how did you two sleep? Are you guys excited for my big brother's big day?" Evanna had spoken out in a very polite tone of voice as this made Dorothy and Ozma smile back at their new friend as one of them began to speak.

"Good Morning to you as well, Evanna and we're doing quite well today and yes, we're definitely excited for Evardo's coronation later today and how's Evardo been holding up anyways?" Dorothy had spoken back to her friend in a curious tone of voice as this made Evanna think for a moment before responding to the question.

"He's been holding pretty okay but he's pretty nervous since he's gonna be king of this entire land but if you guys wanna talk to him then he's still preparing for his big day" Evanna had responded back to the girls as this made them smile.

"I'm glad to hear that and we'll be on our way since I know your mother is probably expecting you but we'll see you later" Ozma had spoken out while she and Dorothy waved their hands to their friend while Evanna waved back.

"I'll be seeing you guys at the coronation and don't be afraid to ask me, my mother, or my siblings for anything, okay?" Evanna had advised her friends with a smile on her face as she saw the pair exiting the room.

"Of course, we'll keep that in mind!" Dorothy had responded back to her friend while she and Ozma continued to make their way towards the main garden of the palace.

The main garden was very beautiful as it was filled with plenty of sunflowers, red roses, and other such beautiful flowers and there, Princess Langwidere was admiring them all as she was wearing a rather beautiful head filled with red hair.

"Hey, it's you guys! It's been awhile, how has things been" Langwidere had spoken out to her two allies while giving them hugs as Ozma began to speak.

"It's been quite some time and we're doing quite good, I see you've chosen a rather beautiful head for the occasion, it looks very beautiful on you" Ozma had responded back to Langwidere as this made her smile warmly.

"Why thank you, it's actually my original head and don't I look beautiful or what? Come on, you don't have to lie '' Langwidere had spoken back in a haughty tone of voice while showing off her original head as this surprised Dorothy and Ozma greatly.

"It rather looks beautiful and what do you plan on doing once Evardo becomes King? I bet you are gonna take a rather long vacation if I'm not mistaken" Dorothy had asked her friend in a tone of curiosity as the young woman began to respond back.

"Of course! You honestly think I'm gonna intend to do any royal duties from this point on? I shall visit many places in Oz and Ev that's my goal but I hope that we can also get to know each other more" Langwidere had responded back in a very confident tone of voice as this made both girls smile back.

"That's wonderful, and I hope that your trip goes well for you and I wish we could hang out more but I gotta get back to my Aunt Em and Uncle Henry once once everything is finished" Dorothy had spoken back to Langwidere in a polite tone of voice while she began to speak once more.

"Well, we'll be seeing you and we gotta see if Tin Woodman and Scarecrow need any help with setting up the festival stuff but I hope that you have a wonderful day" Dorothy had spoken out to Langwidere once more as this made the young woman nod her head in understandment.

"Sounds wonderful and I wish you and Princess Ozma the best of luck in your assistance and let me know when the coronation starts, okay?" Langwidere had spoken back to her friends for the final time as she saw them walking over towards their destination.

"Don't worry, we will and thanks for the wishes as well, and we'll be seeing you" Ozma had spoken back to Langwidere in a happy tone of voice while she and Dorothy continued to walk around the beautiful Ev palace and doing the process, a rather familiar voice had spoken out towards the girls.

"So, you must be this Dorothy girl that everyone has been talking about and Ozma, your majesty, it's great seeing you.." The voice called out to the girls and it was none other than Jinjur, the former general of the all girls army as this had surprised Ozma.

"J-Jinjur?! It's you! It's really been awhile and I see you've arrived to witness Evardo's coronation, right?" Ozma had spoken out to Jinjur in a surprised yet happy tone of voice as this made Jinjur nod her head in confirmation.

"Of course, I've heard news that Evardo and his family has been freed from the Nome King and it was all thanks to you guys" Jinjur had spoken back as she looked over at Dorothy and began to introduce herself.

"And you, you are Dorothy, right? I'm Jinjur, it's a pleasure meeting you" Jinjur had spoken out to Dorothy in introduction while she had shook hands with the girl.

"That's me and it's nice meeting you as well and I'm assuming you are friends with Ozma, right?" Dorothy had spoken back to Jinjur as this made the young woman nod her head in confirmation.

"Correct but we had quite a rocky history five years ago but it's all been resolved thanks to her" Jinjur had spoken back to Dorothy while Ozma watched the girl's interaction with a smile on her face.

"She's right about that, I do remember Jinjur and her army invading the Emerald City and taking it over with the help of Mombi but I'm glad that she was able to see the light" Ozma had thought to herself as she began to chime into the conversation.

"It's definitely been sometime and are Rosy and Flora coming as well? I don't see them anywhere" Ozma had asked Jinjur while looking around in hopes of seeing them while Jinjur answered her question.

"They're coming and It seems they're just trying to bring some extra stuff to the occasion" Jinjur had answered back this made Ozma sign with relief as she smiled.

"I'm glad to hear that and we'll be seeing you and tell Rosy and Flora I said hello as well" Ozma had spoken back to Jinjur for the final time as she and Dorothy waved Jinjur farewell as they resumed walking to their destination.

"Alright, and I'll be seeing you two then and it was nice meeting you as well, Dorothy" Jinjur had spoken out to the two girls for the final time while waving them goodbye.

"It was wonderful meeting you as well and the next time I'll visit than I'll definitely get to know you more" Dorothy had spoken back to Jinjur for the final time as both girls continued their walk until finally coming across Tin Woodman and Scarecrow who was just finished setting up the final coronation stuff which was noticed by Scarecrow.

"Oh, yeah guys! You both are a bit late since we've just got done setting up things but we could still sit and talk since we have time" Scarecrow had spoken out while sitting down on a bench alongside Tin Woodman.

"But it's still great to have you two here and the coronation could start at any minute so we gotta be ready" Tin Woodman had chimed into the conversation while he saw Dorothy sitting in between them while Ozma sat on the bench to their right.

"I see, and we got caught up in talking to Evanna and even Jinjur since she's here as well" Ozma had spoken back to her friends as this surprised Scarecrow and Tin Woodman as they pair let out gasps of surprise.

"Jinjur?! I hope she isn't up to no good and we went through so much trouble just to ensure that she won't plunge the Emerald City into chaos" Scarecrow had spoken out in a tone of worry while Ozma quickly ensured that everything was gonna be okay.

"It's okay, Jinjur has changed her ways and of course, she would not want to push Glinda, The Good Witch's buttons so I think she'll be okay" Ozma had spoken back as this made Scarecrow sigh with relief while Dorothy was listening to the conversation going on as most of this was new to her.

"Wow, that sure must have been quite the adventure and I bet Mombi was behind everything, right? I had a feeling she was up to no good" Dorothy had spoken out while Ozma and the others nodded their heads in confirmation.

"Yes, and in fact, Mombi used to be the Wicked Witch of the North; however, she was defeated by Locasta and she became the Good Witch of the North but I'm assuming Tik-Tok has told you this, right?" Tin Woodman had spoken out while Dorothy nodded her head.

"I believe he did but either way, that's really wonderful to hear that Mombi will never harm anyone again" Dorothy had spoken out to her friends as suddenly, huge bells had rung from the castle indicating that it was nearly time for Evardo's coronation as this had caught their attention.

"It's almost the coronation, I hope Rosy and Flora will make it in time, It would…wait! I can just use my silver shoes to quickly grab them!" Ozma had spoken out in surprise as this made Dorothy and the others smile.

"That's not a bad idea! We'll save you and Dorothy seats while you guys get the girls, okay?" Scarecrow had spoken out while he and Tin Woodman had quickly gotten up in order to head to the main coronation quad while both girls were ready to grab Rosy and Flora.

"Alright, silver shoes! Take us to Munchkin Country!" Ozma had commanded her silver shows a she and Dorothy felt a dash of light consume them as the girls were quickly transported to their destination.

*Munchkin Country*

Dorothy and Ozma had landed on the beautiful farmlands of the area which they found to be quite pleasant as their only mission was to find Rosy and Flora.

"Okay, the girls should be around here somewhere and if they decide to walk or take a carriage than it's gonna take them at least an hour or so so we gotta be quick" Ozma had spoken out to her friend while Dorothy nodded her head in understandment.

"Got it, and it's been quite some time since I've been to Munchkin Country.." Dorothy had spoken back while the girls had begun to search for Rosy and Flor and after some time, the girls had finally found the girls.

"Is that them? They seem to be packing their food" Dorothy had spoken out to Ozma as she was met with her friend nodding her head in confirmation.

"Correct, let's head to them, the coronation could start at anytime.." Ozma had answered back as she and Dorothy began to walk towards Rosy and Flora.

"Flora! We're gonna be late! How much food are you gonna take for the people of Ev! We've packed enough!" Rosy had spoken to her friend in a tone of annoyance while she tapped her foot impatiently as she seen Flora packing more food such as bread, meat and other things.

"Come on! I want to impress King Evardo and his family and I just don't wanna come empty handed!" Flora had responded back while making a pouty face as this seemed to have captured Ozma's attention.

"Rosy, Flora? It's good to see you both, me and Dorothy have arrived to take you two to the Land of Ev" Ozma had spoken to the two girls as her presence seemed to have surprised them greatly.

"P-Princess Ozma?! It's you?! How's things been" Rosy had spoken out in relief while waiting for her answer as Ozma began to speak.

"Things have been going well and we have no time for chatter, we must get back to Ev since the coronation could be starting at any moment" Ozma had responded back as Rosy and Flora both nodded their heads while grabbing the bags of food and getting closer to Ozma and Dorothy.

"Alright! Let's head back to Ev!" Dorothy had cried out in joy as a brilliant flash of light had consumed the group as everyone was transported back to Ev.

*Land of Ev*

It was officially time for Evardo's coronation as everyone had appeared in the main plaza of the kingdom to celebrate this glorious day while back in the palace, Evardo was sitting in the dressing room, dressed in fine clothing.

"I can't believe today is the day…I've never imagined I'll be King.." Evardo had thought to himself as he heard knocking on the door which prompted him to answer the door and it was Evanna.

"Brother, may I come in? I wanna talk to you real quick.." Evanna had politely asked her brother in hopes of him saying yes and to her surprise, he accepted her offer.

"Of course, you can talk to me about anything…" Evardo had spoken back to his sister as he allowed her to come into the room as she had sat down on the chair.

"Evardo, I just wanna say that I'm proud of you and that you are gonna be a kind, just, and polite ruler, more so than our father but despite everything, I truly believe that he regretted selling us to Nome King and that guilt consumed him until the end.." Evanna had spoken out to her brother as this made him smile warmly at her.

"Thank you, my sister, I think our father had a heart in the end as well but it came at such a terrible price…" Evardo had spoken back in a tone of sadness while he saw Evanna getting up to hug him as he hugged back.

"But now, you can change what our father built and turn it into something positive so you go out there and become king, okay?" Evanna had spoken out to her brother for the final time as she released herself from the hug and made her way towards the exit.

"I will.." Evardo had uttered back as he was now ready to officially become King of Ev as he stepped outside for his coronation.

In the end, Evardo knew that he must become a kind, just, and very gentle ruler if he ever wanted to make the Ev Kingdom a better place and with the help of his siblings, mother, and even his new friends such as Dorothy, Ozma, and Tik-Tok, Evardo was certain that things was just gonna get better for him and his people…
