The Peasant Princess (Nalu)

Chapter 25- From a Bride to a Queen

Once they all returned they got a break for touch ups until it was time to go in front of cameras again.

Then the next event started, Natsu and Lucy separated into different rooms on the opposite sides of the throne room.

Lucy had to have her veil removed and had a bit of time to feed Ryu until she was needed again.

Finally the alert was said from the messenger.

Lucy was to have her arms by her side and her gown was flared before she was presented before the party in the throne room.

The doors opened and now all cameras were on her and Natsu as he was also revealed at the same time as her, he wore his prince crown but no cape just like her.

The both slowly walked out continuing to face each other then just before bumping each other they both turned to face the inner throne room where the thrones stood at attention.

They walked in pace with each other with grace and confidence, they stood before both of the thrones then gently turned to face out among the people in the room to watch.

Aries came out and gracefully placed the baby on the velvet baby throne in between the royal thrones she then removed herself.

The priest came out along with page boys ceremoniously carrying 3 pillows with 3 royal crowns, 2 big red velvet ones and a small one with an elastic band and more page boys followed with more pillows with royal balls, scepters, and capes.

The Priest first did the capes, natsu got a long red cape with gorgeous gold embroidery covering it that matched his suit, then Lucy got her own red cape with white gold embroidery to match her gown, then a small red cape with both gold and white gold embroidery to match his christening gown.

Then came the jeweled balls, natsu got a large gold ball with a small cross on top, Lucy got a smaller white gold ball, next came the scepters, Natsu got a long gold one, Lucy got a white gold one and Ryu got a tiny silver rattle that was designed like a scepter with a jeweled ball on top which he gladly popped in his mouth.

Finally came the Crowns, Natsu's prince crown was removed then got a large red velvet and gold King crown and it sat snugly on his head, Lucy's princess tiara was removed then got her large red velvet Queen crown placed on her head with grace, finally Ryu got his small prince crown placed on his head and it was comfortable enough that he didnt bother with it.

The priest moved out of the way as Natsu and Lucy both sat down on the thrones.

"Do you solemnly swear to uphold the laws and regulations of being rulers of our great Kingdom?" He asked as he stood down below with everyone else.

"We solemnly swear so to do." They said in unison.

"Then I now pronounce you King Natsu Dragneel, Queen Lucy Dragneel, and Prince Ryu Dragneel of Fiore. May you all rule justly and graciously." The priest said bowing low making everyone else bow as well.

They both stood and easily placed the balls and scepters back on the ceremonial pillows then walked up the opposite stairs up to the balcony where their Kingdom awaited all bowing low in loyalty to their new royalty.

"Rise my people. May a new era begin a new and let us all praise our new Queen for her forgiveness and love to her Kingdom." Natsu said. The Kingdom began to clap and cheer in happiness while Lucy and Natsu waved as they stand before the Kingdom and in front of all lacrima visions Natsu and Lucy came together for the kiss making everything from their marriage to their titles as royal official.

Lucy took hold of her son and continued to wave to her people happy in her new life and looked forward to the adventures of the future.
