Elisa couldn't believe she was here now. She was sitting in a carriage with Ben on the way to the castle. People were cheering and waving at them as they went by. Elisa was all dressed up for the special occasion just like Ben was. She wore a blue sparkly dress that was long and flowed beautifully. She wore matching blue flats and her makeup was simple yet elegant. Her blonde hair was curly, part of it was pulled back and braided. She wore some blue rings that matched her outfit and her nails were painted to match the dress.

Ben was dressed in a fancy tuxedo and looked very handsome. He smiles at Elisa, taking her hand in his. "I'm glad you're here with me."

"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else," Elisa admits, smiling shyly and tries to forget about her and her friend's plan. She just wanted to focus on just them right now. She can worry about that later. She couldn't help but admire how good Ben looked in his tux. He was handsome, there was no denying that, and he looked even more handsome tonight. "I'm glad we get to share this moment together."

"So am I." Ben grins, lifting her hand and kissing her knuckles gently. Elisa blushes, her heart racing at the gesture. She can't believe how romantic Ben is, and how sweet he is. She's never met a guy like him before, and she's glad she gets to experience this moment with him. "You look stunning, by the way. If I hadn't said that yet."

"You've said it a few times already, but thank you," Elisa giggles, her cheeks flushed. "You're very handsome, too." She smiled at him, feeling a rush of happiness and excitement. She couldn't believe she was here, sitting next to Ben, on their way to the castle for the coronation. It felt like a dream come true.

As the carriage continues on its way, Elisa's mind wanders to the task ahead. She couldn't shake off the nerves and anxiety that were building up inside her. The mission was risky, and the outcome uncertain. But she knew she had to stay strong, for herself and for her friends. They had come too far to give up now.

Ben notices the shift in Elisa's demeanor and squeezes her hand gently, bringing her back to the present. "Hey, are you okay?" He asks, concern evident in his voice. "You seem a little tense."

Elisa takes a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. She looks at Ben, his eyes filled with worry and warmth, and she finds herself relaxing a little. "I'm just nervous about this...Being up front and all. In front of the crowd." She mumbled, her gaze falling to her lap. She knew that wasn't the only reason, but she wasn't sure if Ben could handle hearing the full truth.

Ben frowns, moving closer to her. He cups her face gently, making her look up at him. "Hey, it's okay. You don't have to be nervous. I'm here, and I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."

His words soothe her, and she leans into his touch, her heart skipping a beat. She knows she can trust him, and that makes her feel a little less scared. She smiles softly at him, grateful for his presence and support. "Thank you, Ben. That means a lot."
