4 days later Historia was in front of a massive and jubilant crowd in front of the royal palace within wall Sina. She was on an elevated stage that draped the flag of the walls and their symbols. On the stage with her were the highest ranking officers of each regiment as well as the head of the head of all forces Dhalis Zachary. And Ari himself, she said that she wanted him up there by her side. All of them were dressed in their formal military attire, Ari included, he had on his red bolo and still had on the ring Historia had given him, it wasn't something he ever planned to take off.
Historia meanwhile was dressed in a beautiful white silk dress and a red cape. When the ceremony reached the part where Zachary was supposed to take the crown from its pillow and then place it on top of her head Historia stood up.
Historia: Zachary?
Dhalis: Huh, yes, your grace?
Historia: Please excuse me, you're in the way.
Zachary stepped aside and Historia walked over and took the crown. She walked back to the crowd, then she took the crown and placed it on top of her own head. Historia then saluted them and the top brass behind her did the same. The crowd burst with excitement, cheers, and praise, this was not something Historia was going to do originally. But Ari had encouraged her to place the crown on her own head to clearly demonstrate to the people that she did not draw her power from the military, the church, god, that there was no circular power division, she drew her power from herself and herself alone.
Crowd: Long live the queen! Long live the queen! Long live the queen! Long live the queen! Long live the queen!

Later on in the palace Historia was walking with Ari and the rest of her friends.
Connie: Wow I can't believe you did that. Just wow, you're the only one who could just push past Zachary like that.
Ari: I'm glad you did, it sent a clear message.
Sasha: Ah so it WAS you who told her to, you're the only one who could recommend something like that.
Ari: I may have recommended it but she did it all on her own.
Historia: I'm glad I did, hey, now that I'm queen are you sure you don't want a better ring? I mean...
Ari: Yes, I'm sure, Historia, I really do love this thing. I'll never take it off.
Mikasa: You're still gonna punch him, right?
Katelynn: Yeah, I've been dying to see it.
Historia: I am!
She had a determined look on her face and clenched her fists.
Jean: W-Wait hang on, you're gonna punch Levi?
Historia: How can I call myself queen if I'm afraid?
Andrew: I don't know...are you sure it's a good idea?
Eren: Andrew's right, I mean...
Then right in front of them walked Captain Levi himself, the one Historia had been waiting for. Historia took a few deep breaths and then clenched her fist and let out a small warcry and charged. She punched him right in his side, everyone behind her let out stunned gasps and yells. They could not believe she punched Levi.
Historia: Hahahaha, you like that, Captain? I'm queen now-
They were interrupted by something far crazier than Historia punching Levi, Levi laughing and smiling about it.
Levi: Thank you, all of you.
Commander Erwin then walked in and chuckled at the situation before saulting. Everyone saluted him back including Historia out of instinct. Ari reached over and gently placed her arms back at her side.
