JkotoanT Event: Crowning Lucinda. 

King Philip walked through the halls of the palace and down towards the chambers of his daughter Lucinda. While he and his wife had other children, none had embraced and defended the kingdom and culture of Japan in all of its times and periods more than Lucinda. The first in the temp'elar family line to be born a pure blood Dragon, Philip had long considered it an omen that she was destined for great things and so when his beloved wife Kaya had needed to step down Lucinda was the only one he truly considered to be the Queen in Kaya's absence. Opening the door to Lucinda's chambers he coughed lightly, getting her attention "my dear. It is time".

The Japanese kingdom of old and new times had always been ruled by a female. A male had usually ruled alongside from when Queen Kury had founded it and then passed on the role to Queen Kaya with Kury becoming General of the kingdoms armies. Now a new Queen would continue that fine tradition. Philip moved out before her into the hall where special guests from all across Japan and further around Free World came to show there respects. Among the most honoured of guests were royalty from Camelot and it's surrounding kingdoms. Queen Morgan and Queen Regina were flanked by a selection of Camelot's knights, including Seven and Calcifer Temp'elar of Philips own family, and Jake and Lane, two of the younger knights. 

Across the room in another honoured guest section sat Lady Ambrosia of Dragonia along with her guard Dagger and Daggers sister, Jacinda. Jacinda had arrived sought out her long time friend Lucinda earlier on and wished her well in the event, hugging her and even now uttering a silent prayer to bless her in this special day.The Temp'elar family were of course present to witness there youngest member become a Queen and all of Japan's Lords and Ladies were present, including the unusual Lord Darwin and the new General of the kingdoms armies, Kitana. Both had arrived early bringing gifts from there own parts of Japan keen to add a special touch to the event. The other children of Philip and Kaya, Kim and Sarina Lee sat among the people keen to mingle with them. 

Guests from Blackthorn Town, the home of Lucinda, Philip and kaya's family sat among the crowd if friendly faces adding to the joy. Among the first to arrive had been River, the mermaid from the waters near Bkackthorn who had brought a selection of sea food as a tribute to the new Queen. Ruby, Cinder and the Hattress arrived a little later sitting among the people of blackthorn but not before they had made a good impression on the people of Japan with there charm, wit and beauty. Seven, though sat with the Camelot contingent as a knight had been so proud to see so many of his town represent it at this event. He cast a glance over and noted Heather sat towards the front a long time friend if his giving her a nod. Other members of the to be Queens family sat looking on in anticipation, with mizzy, Brianna, Luna, Sera and even the feline Mittens anxiously awaiting the party to come. 

Finally the crowd were gently encouraged into silence as subtle music introduced the King, Philip Temp'elar. "Special honoured guests. Family, friends. Today we gather for a special event. As you know my beloved wife and our friend and Queen, Kaya is currently away from the kingdom. In her absence we wish to continue the traditions if her kingdom and have a Queen rule our land. Please stand, for my Daughter, Lucinda". As one the guests rose as the beautiful Lucinda graced the room. But nobody was filled with more pride than her father. He leant in and whispered with a smile "don't worry I'll make this quick" he gave her a playful wink. Philip walked to a cushion were a small crown and small stone were placed. " this stone is a piece of the first rock that was broken to build this very temple. The core of our kingdom. From this day, until your mother sees fit to return home, you hold it and our kingdoms future..." He placed it in her hand "... In your palm". He turned lifting the crown and slowly lowered it to her head. Before turning to the crowd and giving a stern nod. All stood as one before Philip turned and knelt before His daughter and called out:

"Long live a Queen Lucinda, Queen of Japan!"

In unison they cried out "long live Queen Lucinda!" And threw hand fully of toes petals towards her as the music played and the crowd cheered. Standing at the back of the crowd until now unseen stood Eve of blackthorn. The moment the crowd cheered she cast an explosive selection of fireworks into the sky commemorating the special event. 

Even more guests from all across free world arrived that evening for the festivities with celebrations going out long into the night. King Philip watched on as the whole world embraced the new Queen and felt special pride in what his daughter had, and would continue to achieve.
