Chapter 6

Hey, picture of Ayla (Auburn hair) and Elsa (Platinum hair) on the right hand side in their coronation dresses.  Enjoy

Hours passed but neither Elsa nor Ayla had slept a wink all night and although neither of them were in the right frame of mind to go through the coronation ceremony they both knew that they had to be strong for their kingdom. One of them would be crowned Queen in a matter of hours and it would be their responsibility to inform the kingdom of the loss of their mother.

Both girls admitted defeat and climbed out of bed to get dressed for the coronation, their dresses had already been laid out for them both but only one of them had the royal coronation gown whereas the other had a different formal gown although neither knew which was which since neither had been to a coronation ceremony before.

Meanwhile King Enver paced his bedchamber wondering if the daughter he’d chosen had been the right choice after all but he knew that it was too late to back out now since the gates were just about to open for the guests to come into and wait for the ceremony to begin. He decided to go into the garden to overlook the shimmering lake that he and his Queen Reva had gazed upon numerous times before, he looked over at the old weeping willow tree and couldn’t faintly remember carving their initials in the bark on glorious summer’s day shortly after they had been crowned King and Queen of Erendelle.

He remembered that day as if it were only yesterday, seeing his dear wife in the most beautiful turquoise dress with the golden crown resting upon her brunette hair that she always wore in a braided up do that he loved. ‘Oh Reva, why did you have to leave so soon’ King Enver whispered as he ran his hand over the bark of the weeping willow. But his thought were quickly dashed when a servant hurried over to him ‘your highness, the ceremony will be starting soon’ ‘thank you’ King Enver tried to smile but it was as though he’d forgotten how. The servant gently placed his arm over the King’s shoulders and led him inside the castle, ‘thank you, I will be fine from here I must speak with my daughter’ King Enver explained once he was near to his daughters’ room. He knocked on the door and when she answered the door he explained very simply that ‘I have chosen you to be the new Queen of Erendelle’ ‘thank you father’ she replied smiling. He returned the smile and walked away back down the corridor.
