Chapter 9: Crowned Queen
It's been a year since Emma started learning magic. She's now engaged to Killian Jones, pirate slash soon to be prince. She's mastered her magic and has finally finished learning it, a mixture of light and dark magic. Emma was to be crowned Queen of the East after her little ride in the Jolly Roger with Hook and the whole family of course. Someone unexpected then arrives after Emma's coronation.
Killian/Hook
"You have to feel the breeze and guide her to where you want to go." I whispered guiding Emma's hands to stir the Jolly Roger. "Sir, the men are an-" I cut Mr. Smiee off. "Calm down, Mr. Smith. My fiancé has the ability to stir her." I continued as Emma chuckled. "Sorry, sir. Just worried." He replied walking away. "You're quite the sweet talker." She commented as she stirred the ship. "Quite right." I stated kissing her cheek. "Take care of her." Charming stated behind us. "Aren't I doing just that?" I asked as Emma chuckled silently. "You-" Snow cut him off. "James, let them be. It's nice of Hook to invite us out here before Emma's coronation tomorrow." Snow commented smiling. We heard him sigh as we saw Roland and Seraphina smirking at us. "I really don't like not having alone time, love." I whispered nuzzling her neck. "I know, but we have to until my coronation at least." She whispered back as we were sailing back to shore.
"Seeing you as you is already enough for me." I whispered as her whole family looked at the sea. "Mom! Look! Mermaids!" Celeste exclaimed as a familiar red head swam towards the Jolly Roger. "Ariel!" Sera exclaimed waving. "Do you want to see her?" I asked as Emma gripped the wheel. "May I?" She asked hopeful. "Go, I'll get her to shore." I whispered giving her a kiss on the cheek. She smiled brightly and quickly walked towards her family. She looked so beautiful today with brown leather pants, a white polo, a long red coat, and a pair of boots. She always looks so stunning... I always ask myself how I got to be with her when I was so evil. I had desires I shouldn't have about riches, even women... But when I saw her that in the forest... I knew she was the one I loved. I always told her that though I don't hear it from her often, but she shows it through her actions. The day she said yes was the happiest day of my life.
Flashback
Last week
Mid-afternoon
Garden
I paced around the garden waiting for Emma to finish her training today. I know she's been working so hard because she's the key to beating Peter Pan. That wretched man... I sighed leaning on the tree with my right arm. I closed my eyes and pictured Emma in a white wedding dress and smiled chuckling. "What are you smiling about?" Emma's voice asked as I opened my eyes and turned to see her in a purple dress that fit her just right. "You look stunning, love." I complimented walking towards her. "Flattery won't get you anywhere, Killian." She replied smirking. "Quite right, but you really do look stunning." I replied smirking. She smiled hugging me tightly. I smiled kissing her head and smelling her scent. "Are you smelling me?" She asked. "Maybe." I replied smoothening her hair. "I missed you." She mumbled as I pulled away a bit to cup her cheek. "And I, you." I replied capturing her sweet, soft lips. She smiled wrapping her arms around my neck to pull me closer as my own travelled down and wrapped around her waist.
I smiled pulling her closer and we pulled away slowly. "I can never get enough of your lips." I whispered kissing her nose. She blushed hiding her face on the crook of my neck. I smiled and gently pulled her towards the tree. "Do you trust me?" I asked smirking. "Yes... Killian, what are you planning?" She asked raising a brow. "You'll see in a while, but I need to cover your eyes for now." I replied wrapping a strip of cloth around her head. "Where are you taking me?" I asked as I lead her behind the tree that revealed a gate. "You'll see in awhile, love." I replied helping her through the gate and we ended up at the beach where we shared our first date.
"Are we there?" Emma asked as we stopped just in front of the setting sun. "Yes, love. You can remove the cloth." I whispered as she slowly removed the cloth and I kneeled taking her left hand in mine. She gasped blushing. "Emma Charming Swan, everyone sees me only as a cunning, handsome devil who doesn't care about anyone, but himself... You changed that as soon as I got to know you more over the past year. You've showed me emotion I didn't know I still had after Milla.... I want to ask your hand in marriage." I stated smiling. "Killian..." She trailed off covering her mouth. I bit my cheek ready for rejection. "Yes! I will marry you!" She exclaimed pulling me up and crashing her lips with mine. I smiled hugging her closer. "I love you so much." I said against her lips. "And I, you." She whispered back as we pulled away so our foreheads touched. "When do we tell them?" Emma asked as we looked into each other's eyes. "You don't need to tell us anything, deary." Crocodile's voice rang as we looked up to see him, Regina, Snow, and Charming standing 5 feet from us.
End of Flashback
"What are you smiling about?" Emma asked as she wrapped her arms around my torso. "You." I replied kissing her cheek. She blushed as I continued to sail the Jolly Roger to shore. "You breathing down my neck is making me uncomfortable." I whispered as I gently tilted the wheel so the Jolly Roger would face sideways, allowing us to go to shore. "Shut up." She whispered burying her head behind my back. "Mr. Smiee, tell the crew to close the ." I ordered as I felt Emma chuckle behind me. "Emma, come on. You need to practice your side-saddle." Snow ordered smiling. Emma sighed pulling away from me. "Watch me?" She asked smiling. I smiled and kissed her cheek. "Gladly." I replied capturing her soft sweet lips in mine. We heard giggling as we pulled away slowly. We looked up to see Seraphina and Celeste walking towards the steps below us. "What are you both still doing up there!?" David hollered as I held Emma's hand in mine and we walked down the Jolly Roger. "Hook, mind teaching Emma side-saddle?" Regina asked as I raised a brow. "Sure... Why exactly?" I asked as Emma giggled beside me. "Becuase I sent Graham off to secure the Kingdom for any threat and you are the only available man who can teach her since Charming needs to help us plan Emma's Coronation tomorrw." Regina replied smiling.
"Really!?" Emma asked excited. I smirked as Snow elbowed Charming to keep him quite. "Yes, Emma. Run along lovebirds, Emma, you need to master that side-saddle of yours." Robin said smirking as well. "Raise you to the stables!" Emma exclaimed starting to run. "Take care of her." James ordered as I chuckled and looked at the direction Emma went. "I heard you the first time." I replied starting to run after her. She was nearing the stables and I quickly ran faster and reached her in time for us to collide in the stable; Emma on top of me. "You cheated." She commented frowning. "I did no such thing, love. I just have fast legs." I replied kissing her red nose. She smiled getting off me. "Are you going to teach me then?" She asked as I smiled and lead her to her horse, Christine. She looked between me and Christine as I offered my hand for her to take. "Up you go, love." I said smiling. She said and took my hand as I helped her up as she sat sideways. "So how does this work?" She asked as she made an adorable uncomfortable face. "I'll get a horse and we'll start our lesson." I replied getting my horse, Max. "Let's go, I'll catch you." I replied as we started to ride.
Night Time
"It's getting dark, we should get back." I stated huffing. "But I just started enjoying side-saddle." Emma said sadly. "I know and you did great, love. Come 'ere." I said as she came near and I carried her to my horse. "Hold on." I whispered as she wrapped her arms around my torso and we rode back to the castle.
Emma fell asleep halfway to the castle and I smiled at how adorable that was. We got to the stables and I shook Emma lightly. "Hmm?" She asked yawning and rubbing her eye. "Are we here?" She asked leaning her head on my back. "Yes, love. We're here." I whispered as she pulled away and I helped her down. She watched me as I brought Christine and Max back in their cages. "You're a pirate, but you know how to handle horses, who are you really?" She asked as she hugged me from behind. I chuckled taking her hands in mine and kissed them both. "I was serving a queen before I became a pirate." I replied as I turned and cupped her face in my hands. "Really?!" She asked amazed. "Yes, love. I did. I had a brother as well, but Pan... He tricked him into drinking something from the falls. He died when we came back from Neverland." I replied smiling sadly. She sighed hugging me tightly. "Let's head to the castle before your dad castrates me." I teased as she hit my chest. "Ack!" I hissed falling back. "What was that for?" I asked smirking. She smiled taking my hand in hers and we walked back to the castle. "Don't say things like that." She replied as she wrapped her arm around mine. We neared the gate and Uriel opened it immediately as we walked in. "Emma! Killian! Goodness we were so worried! Where have you two been!?" Snow asked as she came rushing towards us. Emma let me go for her mother to hug her. "Had a run in with some kind of woodland creature I'm not sure of the name." I replied grinning. "Forest Fairies." Emma corrected as she pulled away from Snow and smiled.
"I'm just happy you're both safe. Come on, let's get you fitted for tomorrow's dresses." Snow said leading Emma to her room and I followed. "Red, she's here!" Snow announced as we got in to see Red, Grandma, Regina, Belle, Seraphina, and Celeste grinning at Emma. "Killian, go to the library all the men are there." Regina ordered as I nodded and kissed Emma's cheek. "See you later, love." I whispered before heading for the door. I sighed walking towards the library as I heard Robin.
"Graham, what do you mean there's a barrier broken? Isn't it suposed to be made of strong light magic?
It did, but something or someone destroyed it.
Rumple?
There are several, but I'll have to check the place where the barrier broke.
Can you do it now?"
I came through the door to see Graham, Roland, Neil, David, and Baelfire around the round-table.
"You're late.
What took you so long?
Nothing that concerns you, crocodile.
Stop it. Dad, come on! For fuck's sake he's your daughter's and my sister's fiance!"
We all fell silent as Neil scolded us. "Watch your language, young man, or you're grounded for a week." David retorted as I chuckled shaking my head. "I overheard you talking about a part of the barrier broke... How big is it?" I asked to cut through the silence. "At least one human can go in." Graham replied. "And it's said that the barrier can not be broken from the outside, yes?" I asked as Crocodile nodded. "Are you implying that someone from the Enchanted Forest opened that small part of the barrier with help from the outside?" David asked frowning. "Yes." I replied as everyone frowned, but Baelfire had a glint of fear in his eyes. "Is there something wrong, Baelfire?" I asked as I remembered what I did to him. He glared at me. I sighed softening my features. "Nothing that concerns you." He replied coldly as Crocodile frowned at him. "I'll head to the barrier right now. James and Hook, check on the ladies; Graham go infrom the guards of the situation and assign them to guard every inch of the Enchanted Forest. Neil and Roland you're on Watch Tower duty. Baelfire, go wait for Belle." Rumple ordered disappearing. "Alright, let's move!" James exclaimed as we walked back to Emma's room. Tomorrow is going to be a big day for the Kingdoms as Emma becomes queen.
NEXT DAY
Emma
"Mom! I'm nervous!" I exclaimed as Regina and Mom helped me get changed. "Honey, you'll be fine. We'll be there. When Regina crowned me queen of our Kingdom, I was terrified I'd get everything wrong, but I promise, though there are so much resposibilites to do, seeing your Kingdom prosper is accomplishment enough." Mom cooed smiling. "I didn't expect my mother to let me marry a King and I was overwhelmed because she killed my true love as well, but when Robin came and changed my view. I could've forgave Snow earlier and avoided so much mistakes I could've avoided... All I'm saying is that Emma, being Queen will give you power that is overwhelming at first, but with the right guidance of people around you, you will become the best queen there is." Regina said as both women gave my cheeks a kiss. I smiled and hugged them both tightly. "We love you so much Emma." Snow whispered as the big doors of my room opened. "Is she ready?" Dad asked smiling proudly at me. "She's ready." Regina replied as they helped me up. He smiled proudly as I slowly walked towards him and he gave me a kiss on the head. "I'm so proud of you." He whispered as I hugged him tightly.
"Thanks, dad. I love you." I whisperedpulling away. "I love you too, go and be fantastic." He whispered as all three watched me walked down the halls. They followed until the big doors to the castle balcony. "Ready?" Hook asked taking my arm in his. "When did you get here!? I thought you said your had an errand to do!" I scolded hitting his arm. He chuckled rubbing his arm. "I wouldn't miss the coronation of the woman I loved." He whispered caressing my cheek. I smiled feeling tears threatening to fall. "Shhh, Don't cry. You're about to be called for your pledge." He whispered kissing my cheek. He smiled as I got called.
"People of the Kingdom of the South, you will have a new Queen. Presenting to you, Emma Sharming Swan, Princess of the East and daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming!" Rumple announced as the doors opened and Hook helped me walk forward, but stayed behind when I reached the middle of the balcony. I took in a deep breath and nodded my head as Rumple opened a scroll. "Repeat after me," Rumple whispered as he started to read from the scroll and I recited everything he was saying.
"I, Emma Charming Swan, promise to uphold the rules and boundaries of my Kingdom. I promise to protect and provide for the people of South and at all cpst prevent war from happening between the people and other kingdoms. To help every person of my Kingdom in need; to collect the right and proper census to better the Kingdom. I promise to keep my alliances to other Kingdoms as sacred bonds that should not be broken. I will listen to my people, but maintain order. Treat every citizen equally nothing more, nothing less. And to stay true and noble in all my decisions."
I sighed finishing the oath. "King of the South, I present to you your new Queen of the East!" Rumple announced as the people roared with joy. I smiled as I kneeled and Regina put the crown on me, but a dark cloud surround the Kingdom. I frowned as lightning hit the middle of the people making us cover our eyes. I uncovered my eyes and saw Amelia smiling up at me as the sky turned back to normal, but there was someone beside her smirking. A boy we were all terrified of. Why is he here!?
