Eyra and Luke walk down the hall, still holding hands, since the door opened all eyes are fixed on the two; in the room there are many people and as many are out waiting for the ceremony is over, the families of the two are right in front, in the front row and have a proud smile on their faces.

The throne room is beautiful: on the ground is a long red carpet with gold trim that reaches the two thrones, made of white marble and covered with red fabric, are located at the end of a long staircase, behind them are large windows that give light to the room.

As soon as the two reach the thrones they find Melesy waiting for them:

-Issi ao mazilībagon? (Are you ready?) - asks the elderly woman

-Kessa (Yes) - both respond

That said the ceremony begins and is held by Melesy herself as the legitimate authority of Meridian, the two guys take an oath to protect Arcadia even at the cost of their lives. After the ceremony came the moment of the actual coronation:

-Kneel down - Melesy says in a gentle tone, and Eyra and Luke do what the old woman had said, while she turned to get the crowns.

Needless to say, the two crowns are one more beautiful than the other, the one of Eyra is gold and in the shape of a crown of flowers in which blue diamonds are set, Luke's, however, is always simpler than gold with blue stones embedded in it.

-Long live the king and queen-

The two new rulers bow down to their people and, after several congratulations, they head to the reception and dance hall, with its magnificent dimensions where an immense banquet has been set up to feed all the guests; many of the products present are farmers who brought them as gifts to the new rulers, talking about them, they have just sat at the table starting the banquet that is punctuated by a sweet music played by minstrels.

-Do you believe that we now rule a kingdom? - question Eyra still incredulous

- Yes, I believe, at the end of the day you and I have always been different- replies Luke kissing his wife's cheek
