(Hattie P.O.V)

Sitting next to Ethan, the cameras flashed throughout the whole ride. Ethan was used to this but I wasn't so I held his hand for each flash that there was. He smiled and waved with one hand and rubbed his thumb over my hand in a calming motion which made me smile brightly. "It'll be alright, all you have to do is stand on the side and look like the Goddess that you are." Ethan told me and I nodded and sighed. "It's going to be interesting to see former King Adam and Queen Belle after what happened on Family Day, but I don't regret what I said that day. I've been raised to be honest even if it hurts, and I'm not changing who I am for someone who can't handle the truth." I stated and Ethan hummed and I looked at him and he had this look in his eyes that I liked, like I was the only one in his vicinity and there wasn't any press or media around us.

The rest of the ride was quiet between us, the loudness from the crowds took over the need to talk. Once our carriage stops, Ethan gets off and helps me down like the gentleman and Prince he is. Ben and Mal were ahead of us and I was quiet, Mom warned me about pushing my magic too far with my emotions, hence I turned red when I was very angered. Dad did it and was able to control his energy output and able to calm himself down, I didn't have that level of control yet, not until later. When we went to greet Queen Belle and King Adam, I gave the male a hardened look in my eyes but a smile on my face. "I don't regret what I said the other day, as a child I was taught to say the honest truth, and sometimes the truth hurts more than a lie." I told him and after giving Ethan a squeeze on his hands, I walked with the usher and the boys stood in their rightful places while I stood next to Mal. "Are you going to go through with the plan Mal?" I whispered to her ear and before she could answer, the ceremony began.

The King and Queen were standing up as the two boys walked down the aisle and neared the throne. I curtsied when they came towards us and Ben had a smirk while Ethan wore a smile which in turn made me smile. Fairy Godmother then took King Adam's crown from his head and placed it on Ben's head. She carefully held her wand, and I looked over at Mal and I saw the conflict on her face and I had a smug look. "Do swear to govern the peple of Auradon, with justice and mercy, as long as you shall reign?" Fairy Godmother asked Ben who looked at he with determined eyes that weren't afraid of the future of the free world. "I do, solemly swear." Ben declared and I smiled at that motion. "And do you swear to aid our King, with wisdom and patience, as long as the King shall reign?" Fairy Godmother asked Ethan and I thought he wouldn't be able to accept the duty but he had this bright look in his eyes. "I do, solemly swear." Ethan told her and she had this proud smile on her face. "Then it is my honor, and my duty, to pronounce you-" Fairy Godmother said but was stopped when the wand was snatched from her hands.
