Ben and Malia walked up the stairs hand-in-hand. Malia's heart was racing. Ben actually loved her!
They reached the top of the stairs , where King Beast and Queen Belle stood. Malia curtsied to the Queen who smiled at her. Beast smiled at his son and nodded towards Malia.
"About the other day, I just-" Malia started to apologize but King Beast cut her off.
"I told Ben this wasn't going to be easy." King Beast said.
"You also taught me that a king has to believe in himself, even when it isn't easy." Ben reminded his father.
"I did?" The King asked and Queen Belle hit his arm. "I...how very wise of me."
Queen Belle took her son's hands. "Ben, we are very proud of you. You keep listening to your heart."
"Thanks, Mom." Ben said smiling.
King Beast petted Ben's shoulder. "You're going to make a fine king." Ben smiled even wider.
Beast took Belle's hand and together they walked inside.
Ben turned to Malia. "Wish me luck."
Malia nodded and smiled at Ben. The attendant next to her cleared his throat and held out his hand. She took it and laughed happily before she walked away with him and into the hall.
Ben turned towards the main entrance, prepared to enter.
Inside, the children choir sang as sunlight sparkled through the stained glass window of Belle and Beast.
On the balcony, Jay looked to Mal, Mal looked to Evie, and Evie looked to Carlos. They watched as the doors opened and Ben walked in.
On the dais, behind the Bell Jar with the wand, King Beast and Queen Belle rose from their thrones. Everyone in the crowd bowed to Ben when he walked past them.
Malia bowed with a smile as Ben walked past her and only then did he break his composure to look at her with a smile.
The Fairy Godmother approached the Bell Jar. She kissed Queen Belle on the cheek and then bowed to the king. Fairy Godmother removed the kings crown from his head and stood in front of Ben as he knelt down in front of the dais.
Malia stood tensely with her eyes locked on the wand in the Bell Jar.
Fairy Godmother lowered the crown onto Ben's head and he looked up at his parents with a smile when Beast nodded at him.
Malia watched nervously as Beast raised the Bell Jar, leaving the wand unprotected. Malia then looked up at the other four Descendants to find them watching her sadly.
Malia turned back to watch the ceremony as Belle picked up the wand and gave it to the Fairy Godmother.
The Fairy Godmother stood in front of Ben again. "Do you solemnly swear to govern the peoples of Auradon with justice and mercy as long as you shall reign?" Fairy Godmother asked.
Malia watched with conflict in her eyes.
"I do solemnly swear." Ben replied.
"Then it is my honor." Fairy Godmother said as she tapped Ben on one shoulder with the wand. "And my joy." She continued, tapping his other shoulder. "To bless our new king-"
Suddenly, the wand was snatched out of Fairy Godmother's hand causing the crowd to gasp and recoil.
A blast of white energy shot out of the wand, flying through a window and straight into the magic barrier of the Isle of the Lost, destroying it.
