42. Int. Throne Room - Next Day - Noon
Camera cuts to the throne room with an overhead shot showing chairs and people sitting.
The following day, the mess from the hectic castle fight having been cleared and a small congregation of requested individuals that River herself allowed or wanted are gathered, seats having been put out to watch the coronation.
Sitting beside one another, Stace and Elias are present. But so are the new captain of the guard, Sheena, and other influential figures scattered about.
Stace
(Quiet)
I'm excited to see her walk out in her queenly attire.
Elias
(Quiet)
As am I.
Before long, the priest, an elderly gentleman wearing fine religious robes, stands and walks up to the throne, looking out over the room.
Priest
(Loud)
Attention all wonderful individuals here this fine day, you have been brought here to witness the birth of this kingdom's new ruler.
He proclaims loudly to the audience.
Priest
It is no secret that King Phosphorus, god rest his soul, was slain a mere two days ago. It saddened me as it did many others. And I am proud to welcome to the throne room, Princess River Lucrece, second ruler of the Lucrece lineage.
With this, the large doors open and River walks into the throne room in a fancy poofy dress that is purple with similarly colored ruffles. She walks down the aisle between the seating arrangements and up the steps to the throne, standing before the priest.
By the priest, a pedestal sits where the crown lies.
Priest
Princess River, do you promise to always put your people first and to do everything with the aim of bettering the lives of those living within the kingdom?
River
I do.
Priest
Then by my power as head of the church, I hereby name you-
The priest grabs the crown from the pedestal. He lowers it onto her head gently.
Priest
(Proclamation)
Queen River Lucrece!
The audience erupts into cheers as the lot stand, clapping loudly.
River turns to face the crowd with the crown now firmly on her head.
Looking at her old friend and new friend, Stace and Elias, cheering for her so happily brings her joy. She knows it will be a hard job and she'll need to learn as she goes, but to her, anything is possible and the sky's the limit.
Camera pans out as it steadily fades to white, once fully white, showing the title and panning up as credits begin rolling.
The End?
