Chapter 23
The King and Queen
●👑●St. George's Cathedral
Sofia Elena was looking through the window of the car, watching the crowd forming a line on the sidewalk, raising the flags of their country. They were chanting her name and waving at her. She gave the people a tight smile and a little wave before sitting back properly.
Sofia then took a deep breath. She will be the last one to arrive at the cathedral. After her arrival, it will follow the arrival of her husband, Madrid Anselmo, to start his official coronation as the new King. The coronation will be televised live around the country and around some places in the world. There will be cameras inside the cathedral but when during the actual bestowment for the new monarch and the new titles for the family members, the press won't be allowed to take live coverage as it is a solemn ceremony. After the bestowment, the press will then be allowed to take another live coverage.
Later, she will also be crowned official as the Queen Consort beside the King.
After a minutes, her car arrived at the grand entrance of the cathedral, a swarm of reporters and crowd already waiting for her. She composed herself and her lips formed a thin line. She was wearing the Snow tiara and the Snowdon jewels from her own family collection. She was also wearing the rosegold colored gown that she had chosen and a red cape surrounding her shoulders with a two-meter terrain below. Lumabas na rin siya sa kotse. She looked the crowd and gave them a small wave before making her entrance at the cathedral. Nauna ng dumating ang iba mga royal family members kanina. As per practiced, she will be last one among the royal family members to arrive before the King.
On both of her sides, there were four royal guards, with the other one bringing the flag of the sigil of her own family, the Snowdon's coat of arms. With her husband and the Prime Minister's permission, their family's coat of arms will be presented - as she is the Queen consort and also a representation that Snowdon is now part of the current royal family.
The trumpets were heard. A man from the inside loudly announced her arrival.
"Her Royal Majesty, Queen Sofia Elena of House Snowdon."
The violins, cellos and the whole musical orchestra started to play. She was walking in a slow pace, with the guards following her. She even saw at the corner of her eye, Madrid's stepmother, Duchess Merida, giving her a hard look. She also noticed Prince Phaedron smirking like nothing happened with his more than a week absence.
She proceeded to her seat found at the very front. A minute later, the trumpets were played again, signifying the arrival of the King. All of them stood up.
