Scarlett's POV
"You look beautiful Scarlett"Autumn smiles from behind me. Both her and Lucy were seated on my bed as I got tied up into my coronation dress. It was a simple light blue dress that mother had ordered to be made the second she became ill. It looked different from the dresses we were use to, she said that it was to welcome a new era in the commonwealth considering that we haven't had a queen in over a century.

Yes mother was considered a queen but it was father who ruled the commonwealth and wore the crown

I smile at my sisters through the mirror as Lola works on tightening my dress up.

"You look beautiful too"I tell them.

"Oh don't flatter yourself sister. We all know you'll be the best looking person in there"I laugh and smile at Lucy.

"I like the details. It's quite fitting for our new queen"Lola says and steps back.

It was beautiful and I knew mother had put a lot of effort into it.

A knock on my closed door brings me back to reality "Ladies, ten minutes"I hear Cole say before his boots echo down the corridor.

"Ugh he's so dreamy"Lucy sighs.

"Lucy!" I laugh "he's half your age"

"Uh not really and your point is?" I roll my eyes at my sister and turn around.

"I think you and Cole will look very well together"Autumn smiles at me. I turn to Lola.

"I do not gossip your highness you know that"I nod.

"This is so weird"

"What is?" Autumn asks standing from my bed.

"I'm gonna be Queen"I sigh and look to my fingers.

"And you will make a great queen"Lucy says. I smile at them. A knock was heard again and the door opens.

"Ready princess?" Jefferson smiles at me. I look at the three women around me, each giving me a smile.

"Oui"he nods his head to the corridor and we all follow out. I follow Jefferson towards the grand stair case and towards the carriage where we would be heading to the church.

"Sparrow is flying"Jefferson says as he opens the door and reveals the carriage, Cole was standing by it talking to another solider.

I watch my sisters as they climb into the carriage "ready princess?" Cole asks as he helps me into the carriage and closes the door.

"No, but I have to be"He squeezes my hand with a smile before stepping back. He nods to the carriage driver before stepping on to the back. Civilians lined up on the streets, waving to me as I passed, some kids even ran with the carriage.

We soon arrived at the church and my hands begin to shake as my door was opened and my sisters slide it before me, they each give my clamped hands on my lap a squeeze before following Jefferson into the church.
