The sun had come up on the day which was to be the king's installation or inauguration ceremony. Lots of people were out in the street and it was expected that the new king would travel in a carriage to wave at the people and perform tradition has had been done in centuries past.

Once more the installation ceremony was a pompous affair,  with music, elaborate carriages karma and a marching army accompanied by a band which was a brass band that was already established in the city. Inside the king's carriage were his national chief of security, Bonnar Oberon, and his two personal bodyguards, Tarn Oberon and Ross Hegden. At this point Fillun began to realize that Bonnar and Tarn had the same family name.

"Are you related?" he asked, looking at both of them. Tarn didn't answer, looking a bit embarrassed. Bonner just smiled and said,  "Yes, he's a cousin on my father's side."

"Well that's great," said the new king "I now have security detail who are related to each other.  I'm certainly going to be protected now". They all laughed and made their way to the banquet where they could be relaxed and enjoy. It was a great banquet with members of the government, Fillun's extended family, and some generals from the new National Velastrian Army, representing the new troops that had been trained in the Knights' Temple.

There was a question over the perception of the people staying in his personal apartment with Fillun, who normally would have to be his immediate family members. What was given as an explanation for now was that his chief of security and personal bodyguards were needed to protect him since they had been doing so for years, protecting him against Cavonian soldiers and army, and making sure he was safe.

The new king cried when the crown was placed on his head inside the cathedral. He was very happy, but more than this, at last, he had people around him who loved him, and who protected him and would protect him into the future.

That night, back in the King's apartment,
Bonnar and Fillun had been practising some aerobic exercises in their bedroom.
"Is that to your majesty's liking?" asked Bonnar.
"Methinks you might need to do it again to check and make sure," replied Fillun.  In the bedroom next door, something similar was going on between Ross and Tarn.

"Do you need anything else, Your Majesty?"
"Love me forever..."
