A week had passed since the incident with Audrey and it had been a lot more peaceful around Auradon. The country was finally able to truly celebrate the engagement of Mal and Ben in a way only Auradon could. The people gathered around their side of the bridge that led to the Isle as they waited for the King and his future Queen to grace them with their presence.
Rylee was talking to more people than she could count about different events that would be happening in the upcoming months. It wasn't long before she was saved by someone shouting about the arrival of the guests of honor. Everyone quickly turned toward the entrance before a loud applause cut through the air. Cheers continued to fill everyone's ears as Ben and Mal walked through the crowd with large smiles on their faces. Once they finished greeting everyone, the couple made their way up the stairs. The two of them had a quick conversation with Ben's parents and Fairy Godmother before they made their way over to the balcony to address their supporters.
"Lady Mal and I wanna thank you for celebrating our engagement with us today. I couldn't be prouder or happier to call you my queen," Ben said to the people in the square before looking over at the daughter of Maleficent with a huge smile on his face, "so...raise your glasses. To our future Queen of Auradon."
"To our Queen of Auradon!" everyone repeated while raising their cups into the air before taking a sip of their punch.
"Speach, Your Special-ness," Carlos called up to his purple-haired friend with a playful smirk on his lips.
"Speech, Your Fancy One," Jay teased while raising his cup toward Mal, causing a huge smile to appear on her face and the crowd to laugh at their antics.
Rylee found herself looking back up at Mal as the crowd's laughter began to fade, only to find her smile slowly vanishing from her lips. The daughter of Maleficent's attention soon moved to the Isle in the distance. A hint of sadness crossed over her features as everyone began to exchange worried looks with those around them. It wasn't long before all eyes landed back on their future Queen. Silence continued to surround them as they waited for Mal to speak. But instead she simply stared at them with slightly parted lips. Not even a second after that passed when Ben placed his hand on top of hers, pulling her back to reality.
"I can't. I can't be the Queen of Auradon," Mal finally announced, making gasps erupt throughout the crowd. While the couple on the balcony had an inaudible conversation, Rylee exchanged a look with Jay, Carlos, Evie, and Morgan, only to find them looking just as confused about the situation as she was. It wasn't long before their attention was drawn back up to the balcony when Mal and Ben faced them once again.
