::A CHRISTMAS CORONATION::
pov - third
It's now Christmas and Roman was back home. He was heartbroken and couldn't believe he ruined the best thing that ever happened to him. "I wish I could take it all back. I wish I had been honest with her from the beginning." A tear rolled down his face as he thought more about the young princess who's was hurting because of him.
"I wish I could take your pain away, sir, but I'm afraid the only way to get her back is to talk to her." "She won't. I didn't see her face. The tear stains, the red eyes, the crack in her voice, the shaking of her hands. I did that." Roman turned to his older brother, who was also there to cheer him up, "What do I do, Rider?"
Rider sighed; he wasn't sure how to help Roman. He could only have hope. "You have to believe. Believe it'll get better, and once your back on your feet you can talk to her before it's too late." "But she doesn't want to see me." Roman was cut off by Benson, "She wants you to fight sir. To prove that it was all real, but instead here you are crying and weeping over what happened instead of being at her coronation and professing your love to her." "The old man's got a point. Go to her coronation and do a grand gesture of love. Be vulnerable."
And that's how he ended up in one of his nicest suits walking into the coronation ball that he helped decorate. Cora and Apollo saw him and made their way over. "What are you doing here?" "How could you?" Roman sighed, "I came to see Solana. I know my original intentions weren't the best, but I do love her. I want to be with her." Cora and Apollo awed, "That's what we were hoping you would say." "Come on, this way."
The two led him to the Princess' room, "Knock." Apollo whispered before pulling Cora away to hide. After a deep breath, Roman gained the courage to knock on the door. "One second!" Her voice didn't sound as happy as it should. He could tell it was fake and he knew he was the cause of it. "Ye- Why are you here?" Solana felt as if she could break down right now. She had just finished recuperating from yesterday's events.
"I came to see you. I know what I did was wrong, but I never meant to hurt you." Solana scoffed hearing that, she tried to walk away but Roman grabbed her wrist, "Princess. Please. I'm sorry and I was wrong to try and double cross you. But the time I spent with you, I realized that you bring out the best in me. You make me happier than I've ever been. The truth is, I am madly in love with you Solana Reignor of Pandora, and If you'll have me-" Roman got down on one knee and pulled out a ring box, "I'd like to give you this ring as a promise. A promise of my loyalty, my honesty, my vulnerability, and a promise of my truth. Please, forgive me Solana."
She didn't know what to say, the man she loved is on one knee with a ring promising her everything she's longed for. "Yes." She whispered, "Yes?" "Yes!" He slipped the ring on her right hand and kissed her so passionately.

"Solana Reignor, Do you solemnly swear to govern the people of Pandora with and open mind and kind heart? To keep us safe when danger strikes? To lead us with honesty and equality?" The priest spoke loudly so the crowds could hear, "I do solemnly swear." She replied a smile on her face as she looked out towards the people who watched the coronation. "Then it is with great honor and joy, that I present the new QUEEN OF PANDORA!" Placing the crown on her head and the scepter in her hand.
She came down from the stage. Greeting everyone and accepting congratulations. She made her way to her boyfriend. "Roman." "My Queen, care to dance?" They both shared a small laugh before she nodded and followed him to the dance floor. "Have I told you just how stunning you look tonight?" "Maybe once." "Then I'll say it again. You look absolutely radiant." She smiled so brightly at the man before her.
She never believed that she would find love with a man whom she only met a month ago. With hesitation, the two shared another kiss, in front of the kingdom. Cheers erupted throughout the palace.
Maybe Christmas Miracles are true after all, I mean it turned this Christmas Business into a Christmas Pleasure.
