The Forest Queen

Carlos helping again

Mina and everyone else went to the castle and then the castle door opened up and Carlos came out with a guilty look on his face. Mina gave him a relieved look because at first she thought it was Renaldo. She hugged Carlos in a bone crushing hug. Carlos then secretly sneaked Mina,Gilbert, and Felix into the castle. While they were hiding in a part of the castle where nobody went they were talking about how Mina can defeat Renaldo.

Mina said that their best chance was to destroy that staff and then everyone would be saved but how to get it would be a problem. Mina was telling Carlos about how she didn't understand how he could have such a cruel father but Carlos could be so nice. Carlos said that ,unlike his father, he saw all the miserable faces of the townsfolk who were suffering under his father's rule, so Carlos decided he would do what he could to help them. But he also explained that his mother had abandoned him and his father when he was only 3 years old and he didn't want to be as cold and cruel as his father,But just then the door burst open and Renaldo stepped in he had seen everything through his crystal ball. Renaldo scanned the room and saw Mina and all her friends around her but Carlos went back and stood behind his father.

"A wise decision Carlos." Renaldo said with a smirk.
"Tell me heir to the Throne,do you think you can run this kingdom on your own?"

Mina looked up at him dead in the face," Maybe not alone,"She said calmly," but with a little help from my friends-" She stated glancing at Carlos.

Just then Carlos yelled out to Mina,"Mina!" He screamed as he grabbed his father's staff. "Catch!" Carlos tossed the staff passed his father and Mina caught it.

"- I can do anything." Mina continued.

Renaldo looked angrily at his son," Carlos! What do you think you're doing?!" He shouted.

Carlos looked calmly at his father," something I should've done ages ago."

Suddenly Mina snapped the staff in two and Renaldo was looking at his hands as he was starting to fade away. All that they could hear was Renaldo screaming and frantically running around the room before he disappeared forever.

"I'll remember this Mina! Just wait and see! I'll be back someday!" Were his last words.

Everyone was stood there in shock and horror except Carlos who looked down in sadness. But everyone realized that with Renaldo gone, they could crown the real ruler of Crismania.

Gilbert wiped the tears away from his eyes," well why are we just standing here? We have a Coronation to plan for the new Queen!"

"But father—" Mina started.

Gilbert stopped her," No Buts! You need to go get ready for your big day as a Queen should now go! Go! Go!" Gilbert pushed her upstairs and into the Queen's Room.

Mina was looking around the luxurious room and was looking with astonishment. The bed was trimmed with gold and had light blue sheets and blankets, there was a jewel studded jewelry box on the white shelf. Mina opened the jewelry box and she couldn't believe her eyes ,when she looked inside there was magnificent jewels inside. They glistened and shined bright. Then Mina went to the closet and she was mesmerized. It was filled with beautiful dresses, shoes, and tiaras. Mina recovered from her amazement and dressed for the coronation ceremony and when she looked in the huge mirror, she hardly recognized herself. Then there was a knock at the door.

"Mina!" Felix called out from behind the door." Hurry your coronation is about to start!"

"I'm coming!" Mina called back to him as she opened the door and went downstairs with him.

When they came to the Doors to the grand Ballroom , Felix went to hold her Queen robe asking her," are you ready?"

Mina took a deep breath and answered,"Yes."

Just then the guards opened the doors and everyone turned around to see Mina ,she looked so dazzling as she walked calmly down to the priest who was holding the Queen crown. The Coronation had begun.
