The King of Auradon, Adam Florian, and his wife, Queen Belle, begin the ceremony by acknowledging their people's presence before hugging their son, Benjamin "Ben" Florian.

Inside the throne room and outside the castle's quad-center, two crowds begin their cheerful greeting as the royal family "welcomes" their future daughter-in-law, Maleficent "Mal" Bertha, into their loving family.

Seeing the wholesome acceptance from previous King Adam and Queen Belle makes the people scream louder.

Except for one, the daughter of Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip, Princess Audrey.

For everyone around the entitled princess, this royal marriage is a celebration. But for her, the marriage ceremony is a nightmare.

As an observer, you may think you know the whole story, but you don't. You only know that dragon's point of view.

That will all change today.

Let me make it sweet and simple.

Audrey was eight when she met Ben. They became best friends, and when she turned ten, her grandmother, Queen Leah, advised her to wait for Ben's interest to bloom, and she obeyed.

For three years, Aubrey waited patiently for the future King to take notice, and when he finally did, Ben became her everything.

Sure, she was shallow around his friends, but Ben always made her feel wanted.

Of course that all changed when the daughter of Maleficent came to Auradon Pep.

The petite princess keeps her emotions at bay as she goes through her previous memories and the aftermath of being the Queen of Mean.

For a day, Aurdry removed the chains of her royal responsibilities and allowed herself to grieve. The pain of Ben's betrayal was too much for her heart to handle.

Still, she was relieved to have Ben in her life. That is until today.

Audrey shoves away her next two thoughts to find King Ben looking towards his Queen's direction with a dopey grin behind his smile while saying, "I do."

Audrey stands still as her mind takes her into another memory.

This time, it is the night of their apology.

After being awakened from her deep slumber as the Queen Mean, King Ben and future Princess Mal apologized to her for their actions. She was so embarrassed about turning evil in front of her true love, but that is all in the past.

For the sake of her family, Princess Audrey had to accept their late apology. But she didn't know how to forgive Mal for seducing Ben with forbidden magic.

Still, she had to do what was best for her kingdom.

Audrey's wandering mind stops as the loud cheering from the crowd brings back to her reality.

With pain and fury behind in her brown eyes, she keeps her eyes on Mal before hearing the people of Auradon applauding for their Queen!

The soon-to-be exiled princess poses for the nearest camera as the King and his bride take several pictures with their friends.

The newlyweds then approached Jane, the daughter of Fairy Godmother, before greeting the rest of Ben's friends.

Prince Chad Charming Jr., the son of Cinderella and Prince Charming was by Audrey's side as her mind takes her back to last night's meeting with her grandmother.

August 3, at 8.00 pm, Auroria Castle.

Princess Audrey enters the headquarters of Queen Leah with fear behind her distressed eyes.
