Chapter 33: New Beginnings

September 14, 1885

It was a Monday morning in the Ever Realm. In the skies above the Ever Realm, Sofia and Lucinda were aboard a flying carriage from the Kingdom of Grudelia. As the carriage flew through the sky on its way to Grudelia, Sofia and Lucinda talked to each other.

"So, Sof?" Lucinda started. "Any idea why Queen Claudette has summoned us?"

"I'm as much in the dark as you are, Lucy," Sofia responded. "Queen Claudette is a powerful queen, and she wouldn't just summon anybody without good reason."

"My Queens," the male carriage driver called out. "We're approaching Grudelia. We'll be landing at Grudelia Palace in a short while."

"Thank you, driver," Sofia acknowledged on behalf of herself and Lucinda.

"Well, we'll find out what's going on soon enough," Lucinda said to Sofia.

In a short while, the flying carriage approached Grudelia Palace. It was a huge palace with a large plot of land around it. Surrounding the palace was a huge wall. As Sofia and Lucinda looked at the palace, the carriage landed in the palace courtyard. A male servant walked up to the carriage and opened the carriage door.

"Sultana Sofia, Queen Lucinda," the servant greeted. "If you'll follow me, I'll take you to Queen Claudette."

Sofia and Lucinda followed the servant into the palace. In a few minutes, the three arrived at the door of Queen Claudette's study. The servant then knocked at the door.

"Enter," a woman's voice invited.

The servant opened the door, and he, Sofia, and Lucinda walked into the study. Sitting at a grand desk was Queen Claudette, a white-skinned woman in her mid-50s with dark brown hair.

"You may leave," Claudette directed the servant.

"Yes, my Queen," the servant acknowledged as he walked out of the study and closed the door behind him.

"Sultana Sofia, Queen Lucinda," Claudette started, "thank you for accepting my summons."

"Our pleasure, Queen Claudette," Sofia acknowledged.

"What is this about, Queen Claudette?" Lucinda wanted to know, curious.

"I'd rather discuss that in a more secure area," Claudette answered. "Please follow me, ladies."

Claudette led Sofia and Lucinda from the study. The three then walked down the hall and entered a room with a double set of doors near the rear of the room. Claudette then turned to Sofia and Lucinda.

"This room is considered to be beyond top secret," Claudette informed Sofia and Lucinda. "Only authorized personnel, and a small group of highly trusted servants, are allowed to come in here. Any information I share with you stays here while you are at the palace."

"Yes, Queen Claudette," Sofia and Lucinda acknowledged.

Claudette opened the double doors and revealed a small area with a sliding door. Claudette opened the sliding door which revealed ... a turbo lift which was technology far beyond that of 1885.

"We're going beneath the palace," Claudette announced. "Step inside, please."

Claudette, Sofia, and Lucinda stepped into the turbo lift. The sliding door closed, and the turbo lift started downward.

"This is a rare honor," Sofia said to Claudette.

"A very rare honor," Lucinda added. "Not just any Voyager is allowed to enter the Voyager Ever Realm Observation Post."

"I think you'll find it quite impressive," Claudette proudly acknowledged as the turbo lift continued its trip downward. In a few moments, the turbo lift stopped, and the sliding door opened. "Follow me, ladies."

Claudette, Sofia, and Lucinda walked out of the turbo lift and entered a large underground room with a dozen men manning monitoring stations.

"This is the day shift," Claudette explained. "They keep watch over various parts of the Ever Realm, making sure that the timeline stays on track. There is also a night watch that does the same thing. They all live in an annex connected to the castle. As far as the castle staff knows, these men are involved in top-secret kingdom work, and no questions are asked. If the two of you will follow me, we'll go to my office over there."

Sofia and Lucinda followed Claudette into her office. Claudette then closed the door and the three sat down.

"I imagine the two of you are wondering why I wanted to see you," Claudette theorized.

"The thought had crossed my mind," Sofia responded.

"Same here," Lucinda added.

"I'm Queen of Grudelia, and I'm in charge of this observation station," Claudette started. "The problem is that I have nobody to replace me on the royal front or, for that matter, the Voyager front. I was hoping you could help me."

"In what way, Queen Claudette?" Lucinda asked, curious.

"I'm looking for one or two young people who are Auxiliary Voyagers and non-royals," Claudette answered. "According to Grudelia law, I'm allowed to appoint young people to act as my eventual successors. They would be officially considered administrative princes or princesses, with all the benefits that come with royalty. I was wondering if the two of you would know any Auxiliary Voyagers who might fit the bill?"

Sofia and Lucinda whispered to each other for a few moments, then turned back to Claudette.

"Ma'am," Sofia started. "We have an idea. There are two Auxiliary Voyagers who also have a foot in the Ever Realm, and have an established cover story for being here in the Ever Realm."

"And who might they be?" Claudette wanted to know, interested.

"Angela and May Turner," Lucinda answered.

"I know of them," Claudette acknowledged. "Princess Rachel's friends. But would they be interested?"

"Well, we could bring it up to them and their family," Sofia suggested.

"Pave the way as it were," Lucinda added.

Meanwhile, in her office at Voyager Command, Commissioner Spencer was watching on a viewscreen the conversation between Claudette, Sofia, and Lucinda. As she watched, Commissioner Spencer sat back in her chair.

"And, so it begins," Commissioner Spencer thought to herself, pleased. "Angela and May's ascension to royalty. Everything is proceeding as planned."

Meanwhile, at Ornburgh Castle, Candice was relaxing in the castle's sitting room when Everett walked in.

"Candice," Everett smiled. "Cedric's family are expected this afternoon."

"Excellent," Candice smiled back. "This reunion will do a lot to bring Cedric back into the fold as it were."

"I'm glad Cedric's family agreed to this reunion," Everett remarked. "I've seen him progress as our new royal sorcerer. He's doing a fine job."

"I know that Goodwyn and Winifred will be especially pleased to hear that," Candice said with a smile, before turning serious. "Goodwyn has always blamed himself for Cedric turning out the way he did. And Winifred has been sad over the loss of a son."

"I think we can both agree that this opens up a new chapter," Everett said with hope.

"I know of somebody who is going to be pleased to see Cedric," Candice remarked. "Calista. I know she's missed Cedric so."

"Yes," Everett agreed.

That afternoon

Rachel arrived home from school. As Rachel stepped down from her flying carriage, Violet walked up to greet her.

"Good afternoon, Rachel," Violet smiled. "Have a good day at school?"

"Yes, Grandmother," Rachel smiled back as she looked around. "Where is everybody?"

"Your father is taking care of some royal business, and your mother is taking care of some Ornburgh Intelligence business," Violet answered. "Some of the servants are busy with Cedric's family reunion."

"Ah, yes," Rachel remembered. "It will be nice for Cedric to be reconnected with his family. He wouldn't say so, but I've gotten the impression he has missed them."

"Yes," Violet agreed. "Meanwhile, you have visitors waiting for you."

"Visitors?" Rachel asked, curious. "Who?"

"Geoffrey and Lottie," Violet informed Rachel.

"From Voyager Command's Protocol Division?" Rachel wondered out loud. "I didn't realize I had done anything to warrant such a visit."

"You haven't done anything wrong," Violet announced in a reassuring voice. "Geoffrey and Lottie are here to discuss a matter that will involve the Ever Realm ... and you."

"Now my interest is peaked," Rachel winked. "Where are they?"

"In the castle sitting room," Violet answered.

"Then I've better get in there," Rachel said as she walked into Ornburgh Castle.

In a few minutes, Rachel arrived at the door of the sitting room. Rachel then knocked on the door and walked in. Sitting on a couch was a white-skinned man with short brown hair and a white-skinned woman with short blonde hair. The man and woman were Geoffrey Franklin and Charlotte "Lottie" LaBouff. As Rachel entered the sitting room, she closed the door behind her.

"Rachel," Geoffrey smiled as Rachel walked up.

"Oh, Rachel," Lottie smiled as she got up and hugged Rachel. "What a fine young woman you've grown into."

"Voyager Command is quite pleased with your progress," Geoffrey praised Rachel. "Come, sit down. We have things to discuss."

Lottie sat down next to Geoffrey as Rachel sat down on a couch facing Geoffrey and Lottie.

"There is a part of Ever Realm history coming up where your help will be needed," Geoffrey explained. "It involves Angela and May."

"I think you've better explain," Rachel requested.

"Angela and May are going to become royalty," Lottie beamed in happiness. "Queen Claudette of Grudelia is looking for heirs as well as people to eventually replace her as head of the Voyager Ever Realm Observation Post."

"According to Grudelia law, Queen Claudette is allowed to appoint young people to act as her eventual royal successors," Geoffrey announced. "Angela and May will be informed tonight at Voyager Command. Meanwhile, we'll need somebody to acquaint Angela and May with what to expect as royals."

"And you're the perfect choice," Lottie smiled at Rachel. "You know what it's like to become royalty overnight. You'll be the perfect teacher."

In another part of the castle, in the royal dining hall, Cedric and his family were having a reunion.

"I'm really quite proud of you, Cedric," Goodwyn praised.

"You really mean that, father?" Cedric asked, taken off guard.

"You've become a man of character," Goodwyn started. "And, I've been rough on you in the past. A bit too rough. I've had years to think about that. The simple fact is that I was wrong. I freely admit that. I can only hope you'll see fit to forgive me."

"All I've ever wanted is your approval," Cedric revealed as a tear formed in his eye. "If you can be big enough to ask for my forgiveness, I can be big enough to grant it. I forgive you, Father. And I hope you can forgive me for my past sins."

"I forgive you, Cedric," Goodwyn said as he stood up and gently put his hand on Cedric's shoulder. "And, at Corbett's suggestion, all of us have something for you."

"Cedric," Corbett started as he walked up, "we've all agreed that the family wand is rightfully yours."

"But, the wand is your property, brother," Cedric pointed out.

"And it has served me well," Corbett smiled. "And now it is time for you to take possession of it."

"I don't know what to say," Cedric responded, touched.

"Please say you'll accept it, Uncle Ceddy," twenty-eight-year-old Calista urged. "We'd all love you to have it."

Cedric thought about it for a few moments, then responded. "Then I accept," Cedric said as everybody clapped in happiness.

"I'm ever so happy for you, Uncle Ceddy," Calista smiled as she hugged Cedric. "I'm so proud of the man you've become."

"And I'm proud of the woman you've become," Cedric smiled back. "You're a royal sorceress of Enchancia, along with Queen Vivian. It's everything I could have ever wanted for you ... and more."

Everybody smiled at the touching scene as Winifred walked up. "It's wonderful to have our family as one, again," Winifred smiled as she hugged Cedric. "I've missed you, Ceddykins."

"And I've missed you, mummy," Cedric smiled back.

"Cordelia and Constance have a gift for you," Winifred announced as Cedric's sisters walked up.

"Cedric," Cordelia greeted as Constance brought up a male gray Maine Coon cat.

"This is for you, brother," Constance smiled as she handed the cat to Cedric. "His name is Oscar."

"We thought you'd like to have a new animal companion," Cordelia revealed.

"Thank you, Cordelia, and Constance," Cedric smiled. "There are other cats here - Queen Candice's male white cat Creamy is still alive, and Princess Rachel's female black cat Lunette has been here for a few years. I'm sure Oscar will get along perfectly with Creamy and Lunette."

"We never did find out what happened to Wormwood," Cordelia said. "He disappeared shortly after you were taken to Azkaban."

"I would like to think he found himself a new home," Cedric hoped. "I hope he had a good life. But now I have a new friend to know. How does that sound to you, Oscar?"

Oscar happily meowed, then licked Cedric's face as everybody smiled at the touching scene.

That night at Voyager Command

In a private dining room, the Turner family was gathered (Patrick and Shelagh along with their eldest son Timothy, as well as Angela and May, and their younger brother Teddy).

"Well, I wonder what this is about?" Shelagh wondered, curious.

"All I know is that Queen Claudette of Grudelia wanted to talk to us," Patrick responded.

"The same Queen Claudette who is in charge of the Voyager Ever Realm Observation Post?" Timothy wanted to know.

"Yes," Patrick acknowledged as the door to the dining room opened. Everybody looked to see Rachel standing there.

"Geoffrey and Lottie wanted me to attend," Rachel announced.

"Interesting," Patrick pointed out. "They are the ones who wanted all of us to meet here. Do you have any idea what is going on?"

"I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to say until the details have been worked out," Rachel confessed. "All I can tell you is that something exciting is about to take place."

At that moment, the door opened again, and in walked Geoffrey and Lottie.

"Hello, everybody," Geoffrey greeted on behalf of himself and Lottie. "Everything will be explained once Queen Claudette arrives."

In a few moments, Queen Claudette arrived with Commissioner Spencer.

"I've had a fine meal prepared for all of us," Claudette happily announced. "Let's say we sit down and we can get started."

As everybody ate, Claudette explained what she wanted with Angela and May, and what would be involved.

"So, tell me, Rachel," Shelagh started. "Since you're Ever Realm royalty, what are your feelings about Queen Claudette's proposal?"

"I had time to think about it before attending tonight's dinner," Rachel responded. "I would say accept Queen Claudette's proposal. There are advantages connected to being royal. And, it is my understanding that Angela and May would only be part-time royalty until they come of age. Correct me if I'm wrong, Queen Claudette."

"You have that correct, Rachel," Claudette answered. "Until they come of age, Angela and May would be known as administrative princesses, but princesses all the same. They would be free to come and go as they please, although it would be required that they attend occasional royal events such as state dinners."

"I can assure you that these royal events are quite straightforward, and Ever Realm royalty from other kingdoms are quite friendly," Rachel said to the Turner family in a reassuring voice.

"In the end, the choice is up to you, Angela, and May," Claudette pointed out to the Turner family.

"I have a question, Commissioner," Angela spoke up.

"Of course, Angela," Commissioner Spencer approved.

"May and I have been Auxiliary Voyagers for a while now, and we know that Voyagers aren't allowed to know about their futures," Angela started. "But, in this case, I have to ask. Is this our future?"

"Angela and I wouldn't want to upset the timeline as it were," May added.

"The two of you are wise beyond your years," Commissioner Spencer praised. "You asked me a direct question, and in this case, I feel you deserve a direct answer. Yes, this is your future."

"It would seem that is that, then," Steven relented. "Of course, Shelagh and I, and all of us want what is best for our girls."

"Yes, what is best," Shelagh agreed, before turning to Angela and May. "There will, of course, need to be an official decision from the two of you."

Angela and May whispered to each other for a few moments, then turned to Claudette. "We accept your proposal, Queen Claudette," Angela announced on behalf of herself and May.

Everybody in the room smiled at Angela and May's decision. The meal then continued with everybody having a pleasant time. After the meal, the Turners returned home for the night, Claudette returned to Grudelia, and Rachel returned to Ornburgh. In Commissioner Spencer's office at Voyager Command, Commissioner Spencer, Geoffrey, and Lottie sat down and talked.

"Well, I think that went quite well," Commissioner Spencer remarked, pleased.

"Indeed, Commissioner," Lottie agreed.

"It would appear everything is going according to plan," Geoffrey said, relieved. "It's the future that needs to take place now."

"Yes, indeed," Commissioner Spencer started. "In a short while, the Ever Realm will see the formation of Princess Force to fight the Witch Revolutionary Front. Not only will Princess Force be made up of Rachel, Kendra, Holly, Ying, and Cassie, but Angela and May will be part of it as well."

"They will be a part of living history," Lottie smiled. "Forging the future of the Ever Realm."

"Of course, that information has to be kept from them," Commissioner Spencer urged. "History must unfold without any interference."

Geoffrey and Lottie nodded their heads in agreement.

November 7, 1885

In a room at Grudelia Palace, Angela and May were being dressed for their official introduction as administrative princesses of Grudelia. Between September and November, Angela and May had been instructed in the ways of being princesses. As maids were getting the two ready for their official introduction, a knock came at the door. One of the maids went over and opened the door.

"Princess Rachel," the maid greeted. "Please, come in."

"Thank you," Rachel acknowledged as she entered the room and turned to Angela and May. "Looking good, ladies."

"Thank you, Rachel," Angela responded.

"I hope we're up to this," May added, a bit nervous.

"The two of you will be fine," Rachel said in a reassuring voice. "An introduction ceremony is very straightforward. Follow the procedure you've been taught and everything will go according to plan."

The maids finished dressing Angela and May, then the maids left the room. As Rachel, Angela, and May talked, a knock came at the door. Rachel went over and opened the door.

"Ma'am," Rachel greeted, "Please, come in."

"Thank you," the woman smiled as she entered the room. "You've done a wonderful job preparing Angela and May for their new role as princesses."

"I thank you for your praise, ma'am," Rachel said, grateful.

Angela and May looked at the woman standing there. The woman was ... Princess Isabel of Avalor. Isabel was also the specialty Voyager in charge of maintaining royal history.

"It's an honor having you here, ma'am," May said as she and Angela curtsied.

"You don't have to curtsy in my presence," Isabel smiled. "We're all Voyagers here. And just call me Isa. Everybody else does."

"Yes, Princess ... I mean, Isa," Angela responded.

"The two of you look fantastic," Isa praised. "And Rachel has taught you well. I'm very grateful Rachel was available to do so. It freed me up to take care of a royal mission of my own - teaching a new princess the ropes."

"So, how did it go in 1988?" Rachel wanted to know.

"Everything went well," Isa reported. "Lisa is going to make a fine Princess of Zamunda."

At that moment, a knock came at the door. Isa walked over and opened the door. Standing there were Sofia and Lucinda.

"Sofia!" Isa exclaimed in joy.

"Isa!" Sofia responded in joy as the two hugged. "It's nice to see you old friend."

"And it's nice to see you, Sofia and Lucinda," Isa smiled.

"It's nice to see you, Isa," Lucinda happily said as she and Sofia walked in.

"Everybody is ready for you," Sofia announced to Angela and May. "Lucinda will take you down."

As Lucinda led Angela and May out of the room, Sofia returned her attention to Isa.

"I just thought I'd drop by and thank Rachel for preparing Angela and May for their new role as princesses," Isa reported.

"From what I've heard, Rachel has done an excellent job," Sofia acknowledged as Rachel smiled at the praise.

"She has," Isa approved. "Meanwhile, I hear you've been teaching Rachel about becoming an Auror."

"Yes," Sofia happily answered. "Rachel is an excellent student. The three of us should get down there. The ceremony will be starting soon,"

In the grand hall of Grudelia Palace, guests were gathered. Standing up front were Angela and May's family, along with Candice, Everett, Dorrie, and Frederick. As Sofia and Isa took their place with other guests, Rachel stood with Candice and Everett.

"Isa!" a woman's voice happily called out.

Isa looked to see her big sister, Elena, standing there.

"Nice to see you made it," Elena smiled as the two hugged. "I take it your mission was a success?"

"Completely," Isa winked.

"You make me so proud," Elena praised. "You're a fine Voyager. Commissioner Spencer has nothing but praise for you."

"I was very happy when you accepted her invitation to become one of us," Isa smiled.

"Well, of course," Elena cheerfully responded. "I wasn't about to let you have all the fun."

The two chuckled at Elena's joke as Queen Claudette stepped forward.

"If I may have your attention," Queen Claudette requested of those gathered. "It is time for the ceremony. Angela and May, please follow me to the stage."

Claudette, Angela, and May stepped up onto the stage where a male royal priest was waiting.

"Angela Turner, please step forward," the royal priest requested as Angela stepped forward. "Do you, Angela Turner, having been chosen to be an eventual successor to Queen Claudette, promise to uphold the laws of Grudelia and to be available to rule Grudelia when the time comes?"

"I so promise," Angela pledged.

"Then, with the power invested to me by the Kingdom of Grudelia, I hereby declare you to be a princess of Grudelia with all the rights and responsibilities that come with that rank," the royal priest announced as he placed a tiara on Angela's head.

"May Turner, please step forward," the royal priest requested as May stepped forward. "Do you, May Turner, having been chosen to be an eventual successor to Queen Claudette and to your sister, promise to uphold the laws of Grudelia and to be available to rule Grudelia when the time comes?"

"I so promise," May pledged.

The royal priest then turned to those gathered. "I now present to you Princess Angela and Princess May of Grudelia. Long may they serve."

Everybody gathered clapped in honor of the new princesses. After a celebration banquet, a meet and greet took place where those invited officially welcomed Angela and May into the royal community. As the meet and greet took place, Rachel, Kendra, Holly, Ying, and Cassie looked upon the scene and smiled. Waiting their turn to officially greet Angela and May, the five talked among themselves.

"So, how is your Voyager schooling going?" Rachel asked her friends.

"It's going well," Holly reported.

"We're scheduled to graduate in a few months," Ying smiled.

"Then it's on to their Auxiliary Voyager training," Kendra mentioned.

"Commissioner Spencer says we'll each be paired with a full Voyager when that time comes," Cassie revealed. "Since Kendra came before us, graduation-wise, she's already pared with Miss Lovegood."

The five were then waved over to officially greet Angela and May. As the celebration continued, two witches very far from Grudelia watched the celebration through a crystal ball. The two witches were Rerana Sharpe (the current head of the Witch Revolutionary Front) and Elisena Frost (the current second in command of the Witch Revolutionary Front).

"A grand celebration," Rerana sneered. "You would think that the Witch Revolutionary Front didn't exist."

"What do we do about it, Rerana?" Elisena wanted to know.

"Not to worry, Elisena," Rerana responded in a reassuring voice. "I have a plan, and the perfect puppet to carry it out."

December 22, 1885

Aboard a flying carriage flying over the Ever Realm, 32-year-old Makayla Anderson was flying from Ornburgh to Enchancia to spend the Wassailia holiday with her aunt and uncle. Makayla had been a teacher and assistant librarian at the Wendarby Institute. During that past summer, the royal librarian at Ornburgh Castle had retired. Candice reached out to Makayla about becoming the new royal librarian at Ornburgh Castle. Makayla happily accepted Candice's offer. The pay was a small fortune, and it gave Makayla a very relaxing job among friends.

In a little while, the flying carriage arrived in Enchancia at the Village of Dunwiddie. The male carriage driver unloaded Makayla's suitcase and then helped Makayla step down from the carriage.

"Thank you, John," Makayla acknowledged.

"You're welcome, Makayla," John smiled. "I'll be back for you on the 27th. Have a fine Wassailia with your aunt and uncle."

"I will, John," Makayla smiled back. "Thank you. A Happy Wassailia to you and yours."

As the flying carriage flew off, Makayla picked up her suitcase and started walking through Dunwiddie. In a few minutes, Makayla came across an alley which was a shortcut to her aunt and uncle's house. As Makayla walked through the alley, she heard something behind her.

"Hello," Makayla called out. "Anybody there?"

Makayla didn't see anybody, so she turned around and started walking again. As Makayla walked, she suddenly felt a hand across her mouth as a group of witches dragged her into a nearby building. Another witch picked up Makayla's suitcase and followed the group into the building.

(To be continued in Chapter 34).

Behind the scenes

Just a reminder that the United States, for the tenth year in a row, is doing its own Red Nose Day on Thursday, May 23rd of 2024 which will include special American Red Nose Day programming on NBC-TV starting at 8 pm Eastern Time.

Author's notes

Angela, May, Teddy, Timothy, Patrick, and Shelagh Turner, as well as Geoffrey Franklin, are slightly older versions of the same characters from "Call the Midwife". Yes, I took artistic license regarding Angela and May having magical powers, but considering we don't really know much about Angela and May's birth families, it's not outside the realm of possibility.

Auror and Azkaban are from "Harry Potter".

Charlotte "Lottie" LaBouff is from "The Princess and the Frog".

Creamy is an original character created by jolly roger brat and is used in my stories with the permission of jolly roger brat.

Commissioner Diana Spencer originally appeared in Chapter 49 of my story "Dorrie". See that chapter for her origins as a Voyager.

Elena and Isabel are from "Elena of Avalor".

"Everything went well," Isa reported. "Lisa is going to make a fine Princess of Zamunda." - This is a reference to events seen in the 1988 movie "Coming to America".

For those who want to know what happened to Wormwood, please see Chapter 4 of my story "The Newest Princess".

Geoffrey and Lottie: We've been given the impression that Geoffrey in "Call the Midwife" is gay, so the relationship between Geoffrey and Lottie would be as good friends.

Having Cedric and his family get together for a reunion was the idea of Gabriel Snyder.

Having Cedric get a new animal companion was the idea of CarlaSwenKnight108. I then came up with the idea of it being a male Maine Coon cat.

Having Makayla appear in this chapter was based on an idea by ciaramaglianina11.

Makayla and her aunt and uncle are characters created by Going on and on and on, and are used in my stories with the permission of Going on and on and on.

Miss Gayle Lovegood is originally from my stories "Dorrie", "Dorrie: Book Two", and "Once Upon a Time in Enchancia", and is an ancestor of Luna Lovegood from "Harry Potter".

Protocol: a system of rules that explain the correct conduct and procedures to be followed in official situations.

The Kingdom of Avalor is from "Elena of Avalor".

The Kingdom of Enchancia is from "Sofia the First".

The Kingdom of Grudelia is a kingdom I created for this story.

The Kingdom of Ornburgh is where Prince Frederick and his family lived in "Sofia the First", and where Candice, Everett, and Rachel live now. The kingdom was never given a name in "Sofia the First", so I named it Ornburgh.

The Kingdom of Zamunda is from the 1988 movie "Coming to America" and the 2021 movie "Coming 2 America".

Voyager Command and Voyagers are from the "Voyagers!" TV series.
