The World Is Ours:Chapter 6
(PART I of II)

ARTHUR

Arthur glanced at his reflection in the mirror.

After months of training and studying, it was finally his and Alfred's coronation day.

He was anxious, well anyone would be. It's not everyday that you'll be crowned Queen of the most powerful nation on the face of the planet.

The door opened and his Jack, Yao Wang entered the room.

"Your Highness," Yao started. "Your presence is needed in the hall in three minutes. His Excellency, King Alfred, is already waiting."

"No need to be so formal Yao." Arthur smiled, which earned a warm smile from Yao in return.

"If you insist, Arthur." Yao said before leaving.

There was a knock on the door and America entered. Arthur was sure it was America since the man wore his beloved bomber jacket over his suit.

"My, my, Artie. Aren't ya' a doll?" America said as he checked Arthur out.

Arthur blushed and walked towards America.

"I'm nervous." Arthur said.

"It's okay. It will all be okay." Alfred reassured and kissed Arthur.

"Now then, shall we go my Queen?" America said as he offered a hand.

Arthur hit his arm lightly before taking America's hand and squeezed it.

They walked through the hall and stopped in front a large door where Alfred and England stood.

"America, remember,we must not expose ourselves." England reminded and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, he and America wore silver armour and a banner in each of their hands. The banner is royal blue in colour and the Spades' crest was woven in middle using precious metals.

"Cool!" America exclaimed, making Arthur chuckle and England hit him.

Arthur hesitantly linked his right arm to Alfred's left, which made Alfred smile and kiss him just before America and England open the door.

In the throne room, thousands of people are present on both sides, cheering and clapping. Most of the people present are wearing blue, to honour the flag of Spades.

A priest was infront and in between the two silver thrones.

As soon as Alfred and Arthur reached the steps, a few feet away from the priest, America and England moved to the side.

The priest began to speak:

"Today we have these two fine persons that the immortal beings choose for us to be the rulers of our ever great nation of Spades for eternity. May the Lord grant them both peace of mind and critical thinking; Bless them with kindness and a  merciful spirit, so that our land will ever remain plenty and people happy."

The Priest turn to Alfred.

"Alfred Fredrick Jones, you have been chosen as King of our wonderful nation, a great responsibility. By accepting this vial of immortality and the crown of Spades, you accept that you're the King of the most powerful nation, the King of Spades!"

"I do accept." Alfred said as he bowed a bit so that the Priest can place the crown on him. He then took the vial, opened it and drank all the liquid down his throat.

The priest turn to Arthur who was slightly fidgeting.

"Arthur James Kirkland Jones, you have been chosen as Queen of our great nation of Spades! You are the pride of our kingdom, the beautiful flower of our land! By accepting the vial of immortality, the holy grimore, and the crown of Spades, you accept that you're the Kingdom's treasure, the Queen of Spades!"

"I do accept." Arthur smiled. Out of the corner of his eye, he swear he saw the crowd looking flustered.

The priest placed a smaller crown on his head and Arthur drank the vial before taking the holy grimore.

Alfred and Arthur faced the crowd and they were met by cheers.

"BEHOLD! THE KING AND QUEEN OF SPADES!" Bellowed the priest.

While Alfred was busy entertaining the guests, Arthur rushed off with America to the garden.

America began to hum as he placed his hand beside Arthur's waist and his other intertwined with Arthur's.

Arthur placed his free hand on America's shoulder and they began to sway.

As Arthur listened to America he realized what the other was humming.

"Carpenters?" Arthur snorted.

"What?" America smiled. "Such a feeling is coming over me," America guided Arthur to dance along with him.

"There is wonder in most everything I see, not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes. And I won't be surprised if it's a dream." Arthur sang.

"Everything I want the world to be, is now coming true especially for me. And the reason is clear, because you are here. You're the nearest thing to heaven I've seen."

They continued to sing and dance in the garden. Unknown to them that the party is already finished. And also, unknown to them, they were watched.
