Long ago, well not exactly. More like 20 years ago, Belle and Beast got married. Big wedding, big cake. All that jazz. Since Beast was king, he created the Isle of the Lost and booted off anything evil, and made them have nothing. Not very king-ly in my opinion but whatever. My mother did try to kill Sleeping Beauty. Shit sorry, I'm getting off-topic. Anyways, fast forward to today, and Beast's son, Ben has finally chosen his proclamation. Let's see how that went...

UNITED STATES OF AURADON
Prince Ben looked out at the Isle of the Lost while getting tailored for his coronation without noticing his parents coming in with linked arms.
"How is it possible that you're gonna be crowned king next month?" Beast said in a proud voice. "You're just a baby!"
"He's turning 16, dear" Bella smiled.
"Hey, Pops" Ben greeted his father.
"Sixteen? That's far too young to be crowned king. I didn't make a good decision until I was at least 42"
Belle scoffed. "Uh, you decided to marry me at 28"
"It was either you or a teapot" Beast joked as Ben chuckled lightly.
"Mom, Dad. I've chosen my first official proclamation" the young prince said. "I've decided that the children on the Isle of the Lost be given a chance to live here in Auradon"
"Uh" Belle squeaked before dropping one of Ben's shirts on the floor in shock.
"Every time I look out on the island, I feel like they've been abandoned" he explained.
"The children of our sworn enemies? Living among us?" The current king questioned in disbelief.
"We start with a few at first, only the ones who need our help the most. I've already chosen them"
"Have you?" Beast asked as he and his wife walked toward their son.
"I gave you a second chance," Belle said, trying to calm down her husband. "Who are their parents?"
"Cruella De Vil, Jafar, Evil Queen...and Maleficent"
"Maleficent?!" Beast exclaimed in disbelief. "She's the worst villain in the land!"
"Dad, just hear me out here-"
"I won't hear of it. They are guilty of unspeakable crimes"
