𝐱𝐯𝐢. coronation day

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

THE HORNS WERE BLOWN. Thousands of people were gathered. The castle was shining in all its glory and a delicious feast was prepared for the coronation of the Pevensie siblings.

Aslan strutted in the center of the long hall that led to the five thrones with Peter and Edmund on his left side, both dressed up in beautiful and delicate silks, one in dark blue with a yellow cape and the other with a lighter tone of blue for both.

Diana and Susan walked on his other side as Lucy was climbed on top of the lion's back to shorten the walk for the young one. Diana's hair was fixed up in elegant curls that were cascading down the back of her breathtaking light yellow dress. If you took a closer look to it, you might notice the faint designs that flowed down and into her light orange silk cape.

The centaurs dressed in full armor were the ones that protected their path as they walked, lifting up the pointed swords as they continued on getting closer to the thrones.

Lucy carefully got down from Aslan's back and joined her siblings by the end of the steps and followed behind them, all walking up to their respective thrones.

Lucy and Edmund were standing on the ends of line with bright smiles shining in their faces while Peter and Susan stood beside them and Diana settled herself on the middle throne.

"To the glistening Eastern Sea," Aslan announced. "I give you Queen Lucy, the Valiant."

Lucy gasped at her new title and caught the eye of Tumnus and the beavers, who were making their way up to her to place the crown on her head. Tumnus held back his tears as he held the silver crown with detailed flowers over the girl's head and placed it with care, smiling up at her.

"To the greatest Western Wood," Aslan continued. "King Edmund, the Just."

Tumnus held the silver crown over Edmund's head and placed it the same way he did before, and Diana's eyes were filled with pride.

"To the radiant Southern Sun," declared Aslan. "Queen Susan, the Gentle."

The crown was placed over Susan's head and it was designed with golden flowers and beautiful details all over it and the brunette smiled softly.

"To the clear Northern Sky," Aslan spoke. "King Peter, the Magnificent."

Peter rose from his kneeling position and glowed with prideful eyes when the crown was over his head and smiled to himself.

"And to the sturdy Winds that cover all our world," Aslan finished. "I give you Queen Diana, the Mighty."

Tumnus placed the golden crown on Diana's head and she could see the faint tears covering his eyes as he stepped back and she stood from her knees, feeling everyone's eyes on her and her siblings as they sat back on the thrones.

"Once a King or Queen of Narnia, always a King or Queen. May your wisdom grace us until the stars rain down from the heavens."

Aslan turned over to look at the crowd and they all yelled in unison, "Long live King Peter!"

"Long live King Edmund!"

"Long live Queen Diana!"

She smiled and shared a glance with Susan as her face was growing hot and red from all the attention the people were giving her, she felt proud of herself and her brothers and sisters.

"Long live Queen Susan!"

"Long live Queen Lucy!"

The crowd cheered and it broke into yells of celebration, even some centaurs cried out of emotion since everyone's attention on the newest rulers of the kingdom, who will do their best to protect their new world.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

THE FEAST WAS delicious to Diana's opinion. She hadn't been able to truly enjoy the delicious meals that were made in this world, but she was more than happy to try them out. After a long time of chatting with the centaurs and fauns, she felt exhausted, but she couldn't leave the place.

In the center of the ballroom roof stood a glowing chandelier, to which it was brightening the atmosphere even more than before when the sun changed position, aiming perfectly at the castle.

Diana frowned in confusion when she noticed that there weren't any people in the middle of the ballroom dancing, and she decided it was something that needed to be changed, since this wasn't what she imagined in her fantasy books.

As she tried hard to avoid getting distracted by some of the creatures, Diana made her way towards Peter and Edmund, who were too busy to notice her approaching.

"Would you like to dance?" Diana offered to her brothers once she got close enough.

"What?" both of them asked incredulously as they frowned.

"You heard me. Would you like to dance?" Diana extended her hand. "No one is dancing and I want to change that, come on!"

Edmund rolled his eyes playfully. "Find a faun. They like to dance."

Peter tried to cover his laugh when he was silenced by Diana's glare. He sighed and shook his head as he opened his mouth to reply.

"Fine," Peter said. "But only if Edmund comes too."

"Wha — " Edmund didn't get to finish his sentence since Diana grabbed him and Peter by the arm and pulled them into the middle of the ballroom.

The crowd had stopped to get a better look at what their new kings and queen were doing, and Diana didn't pay them any mind and convinced a faun to play some music from their pipes.

The music echoed through the walls of the castle and Diana tried to get her brothers into dancing or even moving, swaying their arms dramatically when the beavers, fauns and even centaurs followed their lead.

Susan and Lucy , who were distracted by taking a walk outside, stepped into the room to see thousands of people dancing around the ballroom with their siblings in the middle.

Diana's smile was bright and it was enough to get both Peter and Edmund smiling, already showing true joy at dancing to the pipe music. They were too focused on who was doing the best movements to see Susan and Lucy coming up to them, laughing at their silly moves.

They all shared smiles, laughs and even some complains of the boy stepping into the girls' feet, but other than that, they had a time filled with memories. Diana didn't want this to change.
