FADE IN
INT. CHURCH OF THE ROYAL PALACE - DAY
A medieval church with brown wooden walls and yellowish details. Beams of light filter through stained glass windows, illuminating the altar.
On the altar, the new king of Nevergolden, TYBALT STAFFORD, is kneeling. He's a sixteen-year-old skinny teenager with brown hair. He still has a kid's voice. He's wearing a blue imperial robe. Standing before him is an elderly BISHOP (70), wearing a red cassock and holding a golden crown.
Behind them, the altar is gray, made of stone, and covered by a white tablecloth. Two white candles are placed on it.
Many subjects are standing behind the wooden church benches as they attend the ceremony, but we can only see a lot of indistinct silhouettes.
BISHOP (solemnly): As the sovereign of Nevergolden, do you solemnly swear to respect the church and its institutions, to punish offenses and iniquities, and to rule righteously and mercifully?
TYBALT (falsely): I do.
