On the day of the coronation, it was difficult to say who was most stressed.  Each of them was nervous about something.  Zee was afraid that there might be an attack that would spoil the ceremony.  The previous night, New dreamed that he forgot the lyrics to a song he was supposed to perform just before the ceremony began.  Gem kept thinking about how he didn't deserve such an honor, and Iris wondered if her children would be well received in the community when she introduced them.  She wasn't planning on talking about it out loud, she would only mention it if someone specifically asked, she wasn't going to lie about it.  These were her, Gemi's and Fourth's children, and since Gem had been elected king democratically, hiding the truth from his subjects could have ended very badly.

Kaownah, Fluke, Turbo, Cooper, Cooheart since the down could be find litteraly everywhere, P'Zee had to calm them down, because each of them was so excited. Kaownah had to take care of Turbo who almost fainted when they were with their make-up artists.  Together, they came up with a surprise performance, which was to consist of the traditional anthem of the Knights of Light, sung by all the guests before the coronation ceremony, and later of a three-act theater play in which they appeared as the main characters. The play was supposed to be about being Shadowhunters, about fighting against dark powers and dark magic, about love and sacrifice.

(And many others...)

He knew that some of them will come very late, on last possible moment. Since the previous day, the Institute of the Knights of Light was slowly filling with distinguished guests, including fairies, wizards, and vampires, although the largest number were Shadowhunters from many countries.  The corridors were full of magical beings hurrying somewhere or gossiping with each other over a cup of coffee or lemonade.

NuNew took Gem to the last rehearsal, the dress rehearsal.  This time it was Zee who approached Norawit to place the real crown on his head.  Gemini didn't expect it to be so heavy.  Fourth watched from behind the blue curtain separating the stage from the dressing room where they were changing.  The crown was beautiful, made of gold and studded with precious stones that sparkled with a colorful glow as soon as the decoration touched the boy's head.  Zee offered Gemini his arm, helping him up from his knees, and NuNew, Phuwin, Pond, Dunk, and Khaotung began to applaud.  Zee led Norawit to a throne made of mahogany wood with burgundy upholstery placed in the center of the stage.

“I have the honor to introduce you to our new king.  Welcome him very warmly and bow before him.  Norawit Titicharoenrak, called in the Non-Magical world: Gemini, Lord Methun, King of the Institute of the Knights of Light in Bangkok and King of our whole Magical World”.

The friends applauded again as Zee finished introducing Gemini in a loud voice.  Norawit sat upright and his eyes were focused on only one person, the boy who had now become a mature, handsome man, who had saved his life twice and whom he loved with all his heart and above all else.  Fourth walked around the entire room and walked with slow, dignified steps to stand by his lover's side as he had been instructed.

Satisfied with the results, Zee thanked them and informed them that it was time to start final preparations for such a great event.  Each participant had to look appropriate.  Ceremonial costumes, mainly expensive suits, tailcoats and dresses for women, were already waiting in the spacious fitting room behind the stage.  Make-up artists, hairdressers and make-up artists had their hands full.

For Tinn it was very difficult to be there without his Gun, but Perth was right next to him, ready do do anything Tinn would ask.

* * *

Finally, after several hours, the preparations were finally over.  Gemini stood in front of the door to the coronation room wearing robes of pink silk trimmed with gold thread.  His hair was slightly cut and bleached, slicked back.  The eyelashes were lengthened and a thin layer of makeup appeared on the face, which was only visible up close.  On the index finger there was the Titicharoenrak family's ancestral signet ring with an engraved eagle against the background of a rose bush.  On his feet he wore black, shiny shoes, which turned out to be surprisingly comfortable, especially while dancing.  A sash sewn in the colors of the Thai flag hung across the middle of his chest from his left shoulder towards his right thigh.  A burgundy velvet pocket square protruded from the suit's chest pocket on the left side.

Before Gem stepped into the middle of the room, Fourth hugged him tightly to encourage him.

“Good luck.  I'm proud of you.  Remember that you deserve this award the most out of all of us and I know you can handle it,” He told him before releasing him from his embrace.

“Thank you, Fourth.  I love you”.

“Yes, I know, I love you too.  Go now, don't keep your subjects waiting”.

Their hearts beat quickly and joyfully to the rhythm of solemn music played live by the orchestra placed on the balcony.  Thirty of the best musicians from around the Magic world made sure that the appropriate sounds emphasized the seriousness of the ceremony.  Gemini had a hard time restraining himself from running ahead.  He had to walk calmly, looking into the faces of many people he had never met before and smiling warmly at them.  In this crowd he even spotted Kamil Stoch, Lewis Hamilton, Carlos Sainz and Louis Tomlinson.  Iris and Rose stood next to each other and both waved at him almost simultaneously as he passed by.  Behind them he saw Annie and Didi, both dressed in identical pink and white knee-length dresses, Annie was holding a SLR camera in her hand, filming everything, she wouldn't miss such an opportunity for anything in the world.  His mother, dressed in a beautiful red dress with a neck decorated with pearls, was led to the front row as one of the most honored guests.  The woman cried with emotion, wiping her eyes with a silk scarf.  She never expected her youngest son to achieve something so big and wonderful, all she wanted for him was for him to be happy and have no regrets in life.

Gemini knelt on a gold-covered pillow placed on a kneeler centrally in the great hall and bowed his head modestly while First recited a prayer he already knew, holding his open hands above his head.  First was given the honor of conducting the ceremony at the request of Professor Mixxiw, who considered him his most talented student.  Max Kornthas, P'Zee's most faithful friend, stood nearby, holding the old book open in case Kanaphan forgot the words.

* * *

After the coronation, everyone had little time to dress up and prepare for the double wedding.  The ceremony was to take place in another room, which had already been decorated by women with the help of house elves.  Annie took the greatest pleasure from decorating the room.  The Polish woman loved such activities because they gave her the opportunity to express her imagination.

In the center was a red carpet leading to an altar flanked by two marble statues of angels: one representing a female angel and the other a male.  The man held a sword over his head and the woman held a basket full of fruit in her hand.  In front of the altar were four chairs in a row, each covered with white cloth that reached down to the marble floor.

Rays of sunlight streamed in through large windows magically shaped to resemble those in old European temples, adding even more fanciful charm to the entire room.

Guests, who didn't have to dress up, could spend their free time talking and when the time came, they gathered in the hall, taking their seats at their assigned benches, which also resembled those in European churches, only they were painted white.

From the room where the wedding ceremony was to take place, they were to go through a not too long corridor to another room where they were to celebrate, eating, drinking and dancing to their hearts' content.  Earlier, at the request of Khaotung and First, the room was divided into two separate zones, each of which was decorated slightly differently.  The zone belonging to Khao and First was dominated by orange and white colors in various shades, while the zone belonging to Gemini and Fourth was filled with silver and pink.  There was also a transition area where all the colors met together.

The tables were round, white, placed at appropriate distances from each other.  Balloons in colors corresponding to their assigned zones were floating in the air.  Annie also chose cutlery and dishes in shades that would match each zone.  She looked critically at her work once more, made sure everything was in place, straightened the crooked tablecloth one last time, and left with Rose and Didi.  The young women put their arms around each other.  Annie felt extremely moved, after all, she had been invited to a very unusual event: a double wedding with a coronation.

First and Fourth arrived in the hall first, accompanied by Pond and NuNew.  Each of them looked beautiful, but Fourth and First stole the show.  They both waited with pleasant excitement and slight nervousness for their fiancées to appear.  Fourth held his breath when the door opened and he saw his beloved in the doorway led by Mrs. Titicharoenrak.  Gemini had a tiara on his head.  Khaotung slowly walked behind him, smiling softly.  Khao, who was used to the presence of cameras and crowds of people around him, was not worried about anything, and Gemini, who had already had his coronation behind him, felt calm and happy.  For a moment, Khao was afraid that when he went inside, he wouldn't find First there, but his fears turned out to be unfounded.

Lady Titicharoenrak led her son to Fourth, took Nattawat's hand, and placed her youngest son's hand in his.

“I leave him in your hands, Fourth, I know that you are brave and strong, I know that you will create a beautiful family together and will be wonderful fathers to Aster and Camellia.  I'm proud of you, boys”. And she hugged all four grooms in turn.

The master of the ceremony turned out to be none other than Earth Pirapat, brought especially for this purpose from the planet Gaia II.

Khao and First were the first to make a promise that would bind them for life.

When it was time for Gemini, Norawit stammered with nervousness.  Fourth approached him and whispered in his ear:

“You can do it, my king, I know you can do it”.

And these words were enough.

Fourth's presence at his side, his warm smile, the squeeze of his hand and the awareness of how much they had experienced together were enough.

Looking into each other's eyes, they made an oath, a promise to be together for better and for worse, in sickness and in health, and sat down next to First and Khaotung.

Some guests furtively wiped away tears as the music video featuring the four was shown.  The music video recreated the most important events from their lives, showing paintings with Fourth's likenesses painted by Gemini, First recreated himself sitting in a dark room in front of an open laptop and watching Formula 1. Khaotung used a photo from his father's magical funeral.  First's scars were not hidden either.  Ciize recorded Gemini and Fourth's first meeting with their newborn daughters.  Behind the creation of this recording was a specialist in technique, technology and color, Sea Tawinan, in his private life, Dr. Jimmy's partner.  The recording was accompanied by NuNew and Pond's voice, not too loud, but perfectly matched sounds of guitar and piano.

First wrapped his arms around Khaotung's waist, and Gem and Fourth held hands.  Khao rested his head on First's shoulder.

“Thank you for being my fan”. He smiled at him.

“Thank you for being my idol”. He replied in a similar tone.  “It was for you that I wanted to live, I wanted to see your life even from a distance, I wanted to watch you achieve further successes, I thought that watching from afar would be enough for me”.

“Now you don't have to look from afar, I'm right next to you”.

“I know”.

Maybe the didn't say word „love”, but their actions spoke volumes and they felt it by a heart.

Gemini made a funny face when he heard this conversation.  Fourth looked at him as if he had completely forgotten about the existence of any other people or magical beings around them.

* * *

Some time later, the long-awaited moment of the first dance came.  Khaotung with First and Fourth with Gemini lined up in the middle of the room as they had practiced before.  Bright played the guitar and Phuwin played the piano while NuNew and Zee sang a song to them as a gift for the newlyweds.

First was trying to remember his steps and not step too far on his husband's heels, while Gemini and Fourth were in their element.  At the end of the dance, both couples raised their hands with wedding rings up, Lewis Hamilton conjured up fiery balls of light in appropriate colors that surrounded them and highlighted the beauty of their wedding rings, mainly illuminating them.

And then more couples joined them, including Rose and Annie.  Annie laughed happily while Rose wrapped her arms around her waist and told her how happy she was to be here.  Gemini found Iris and Fourth's mother, who were taking care of their daughters, and took his daughter, Aster, out of the stroller.  The little one looked at him with wide, dark eyes.  He loved her and her little sister and promised himself that he would do everything to make the girls' childhood beautiful and happy, so that they would know that they were loved.

“Congratulations, little brother,” Phuwin walked up to them, accompanied by Dunk.  Gemini gave his daughter to Fourth and hugged both brothers.  Sometimes there were fights between them, like siblings do, but today he was glad that they were both here with him. In his life he knew he was lucky to have them as brothers, he knew that each of them would sacrifice their life if necessary.

Didi, as usual, was talking to Pierre Gasly in French when Kamil Stoch approached them, accompanied by his Non-Magical wife, Ewa, and his friend Peter Prevc and his younger brother, Domen.

“Oh, Pierre, that's right, we wanted to introduce you to someone”. Didi smiled, patting Domen familiarly on the shoulder and tactfully changing the language to English, which was understandable to everyone.

“Yes?”

„Yup, this is Domen Prevc, Kamil Stoch's successor as the leader of the Night Hunters taking care of the ski jumping world.  Domen, this is Pierre Gasly, commander of the Shadowhunters unit dealing with Formula 1”.

Domen and Pierre shook hands, although Didi didn't miss the strange way Domen looked at Pierre.  Didi was sure that there would definitely be no friendship between these two.  They both loved competition too much, both wanted to be the best too much, both had sport in their blood as well as the desire to win, to overcome further barriers and boundaries, pushing them far beyond the horizon of possibilities of ordinary people.

Later, more toasts began to be made, and two large and drastically different wedding cakes appeared.

There were lots of colorful balloons floating in the air, with photos of each of the four grooms attached to them on silver ribbons, including those they had taken as couples.  Zee suggested placing quotes about life, love and friendship on the walls.  A whole group of friends have been collecting these quotes for the last week, of course without the participation or knowledge of the grooms, because it was supposed to be a surprise for them.  The quotes were placed on the walls on white pieces of paper, each of which was decorated with two red hearts connected together, made of red thread.  Each piece of paper was illuminated from underneath.

The guests had a great time.

It turned out that inviting Toto Wolff, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton together for one event was not a good idea.  Max said something about Lewis' world titles that enraged Toto.

Toto Christian Wolff was the boss of the Mercedes team, for which Lewis was still driving, although he was slowly fed up with it, and this particular quarrel was the last resort.  Hamilton ignored Verstappen's words, but Wolff became furious.  He grabbed Max's shirt and said in a threatening voice.

“How dare you remind us of our titles?  All were acquired honestly”.

“In an honest way?  So why does Massa want to regain his title?”

“How should I know?  I'm not in his head.  But you won one of your titles by almost killing Lewis”.

“Toto, calm down”.  Lewis tried to stop his boss, but the strong, magically spiced alcohol revealed the worst features of both opponents.  Max wasn't any better.

“Come on, hit me, my father isn't here, he won't help me”.  The Dutchman mocked, fully aware of how weak Wolff was at the moment.

“Max, please, come on, don't irritate him even more”.  Now, for a change, Lewis was tugging on Max's sleeve, wanting to pull him aside before a fight broke out.

Pond, who was dancing nearby with Joong, stopped mid-beat.  He saw Toto's hand raised dangerously in the air.

“Shit,” he cursed under his breath.

Joong followed him.  At the same moment Max said something else, Toto couldn't stand it and threw a strong punch at the driver.  Max fell to the floor, pushed by Pond, who positioned himself exactly in the line of impact and was hit straight in the jaw.

Khaotung had already been alerted to the commotion and ran towards them.  He was furious.  He had seen Toto pushed to his limits more than once.  Max wasn't a saint either, and everyone knew that he could evoke extreme feelings in people.  With the help of Pond, Joong and Lewis, he led them both to the gardens, the only exit from which was through the Institute, which Lewis blocked with a spell at his request.

“You will sit here until the morning and think about your behavior.  I won't let anyone ruin my wedding, the most beautiful day of my life.  I'll send you elves with food, and don't count on anything else”.

Lewis high-fived Joong, apologized to Khaotung, and took Pond to the doctor's room to have his injured jaw checked.  It turned out that Toto was wearing a wedding ring, which accidentally caught Pond's lower lip, cutting it and causing it to bleed.

“I'm sorry about Max and my boss.  I added truth serum to their drinks, I wanted them to finally talk honestly to each other, Toto mentioned so many times that he would like to have Max on the team, but his father never wanted to agree to it.  I don't know what happened to them”.

“It's okay, I understand they got carried away, but... What did Max say to your boss?”

“He said I didn't win my world titles in a fair fight,” Lewis shrugged as if it didn't really matter.  Pond smiled.  Ciize used a healing rune and after a while there was no trace of pain.  They could return to the room.

Pond sensed he shouldn't ask about it, so he dropped the topic and instead offered Lewis a dance challenge.

“I heard you're a great dancer, Pond, so how could I possibly beat you?”

“That's the thing, our friends will judge us.  Come on, let's gather everyone, find a quiet corner and have a great time”.

“Ok, good idea, and who do you want as judges?”

“Our grooms, of course!”

Pond and Lewis split up and began picking out their friends from the crowd of fey.  They couldn't find Yuki and Pierre anywhere, but Annie quickly explained the mystery to them.

“Oh, it's better not to disturb them, they seem to have already gone to their assigned room, at least I saw them coming up the stairs”.

“OK let it be”.

Lewis and First magically enlarged the space around them.  There are additional comfortable sofas, armchairs and chairs.  They took a seat in front of a large TV where they could choose the songs they wanted to dance to.  The other guests quickly became interested in their fun and became their audience.  Chairs from the tables were removed and placed wherever possible around the improvised stage.  Pond and Lewis selected four team leaders who could select their players.  The judge's table for the four grooms was placed so that all four could clearly see the dancers.  Lewis conjured up sheets of paper for them to take notes on, colored pens and highlighters.

The six teams included all their friends, and the pairs were split up.  Each of the four grooms wrote down their nicknames or names on pieces of paper.

Team Lewis:
*Cooheart
*Kaownah
*Phuwin

Pond's team:
* Mix Sahaphap
*Bright
*Dunk

Team Lando:
* Dr. Jimmy
*Perth
*Gun

Carlos's team:
*Sea
* Tinn
*Off

NuNew's team:
* Fluke Natouch
*Cooper
*Tay

Joong's team:
* Zee Pruk
*Turbo
* Newwie

Each dancer gave their all and in the end, Lewis' team won.  As a reward, they could assign one task to be completed by each of the losers.  It was a special evening and an even more special night.

At one point, Gemini, who had gotten rid of the diadem and left it in the care of Phuwin, who put it on his head and started dancing in it with Pond, slipped away with Fourth to the balcony and they looked at the sky together.  Behind them you could hear laughter, loud conversations and music.  Fourth hugged Gemini from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder.

“I'm glad I found you, my stranger,” he said sleepily.

It had been a long day for them, which started early in the morning and now both of them only wanted to go to sleep.  Their legs hurt and their heads were buzzing from drinking too much alcohol.

“It was NuNew who found us for each other,” Gemini reminded him, nostalgically remembering the day NuNew discovered his sketches of Fourth, who was NuNew's boyfriend at the time.
