The night was full of of life. The Palace was light up brighter then the night sky itself, citizens of Narina far and near entered dressed at there finest. Tonight the Kingdom will introduce the Prince and Princess of Narina the future rulers . Everyone was excited and waited calmly to see the Royal Family in the grand ball room. 

Ella was in her room as always with Reepichip in a red and gold gown with her hair down a curled looking at herself in the larger mirror in front of her

"I'm not so sure about this" she says and begins to turn sideways to see if there is anything else on the gown

"You look beautiful Ella" he says and she sighs 

"What if I mess up or the people end up not liking me after all" she continues and then There is a knock at the door

"Come in" Ella says and Julian walks into the room with a dark blue and gold tunic

"Hey" he says and takes a good look at his sister

"You look Beautiful sis" he says and Reepichip nods

"That's what I told her but she is nervous about the ball" he says and Julian walks up to her and takes her hands

"Hey I'm nervous two but you know something" he says and she looks at him

"What"She asks and he chuckles

"When we are together we can face anything" he says and she smiles bigger and they hug. There is another knock on the door and a servant walks in

"Its time" he says and Julian nods

"Thank you" he says and looks back at Ella taking her hands again

"Ready" he asks and she takes a deep breath

"Yeah" she says and the walk out together hand in hand with Reepichip behind them

They walk to the door of the ball room and hear people talking in the inside and Julian gives Ella a small squeeze and the music stops and the trumps start and they can hear their father begin to talk

"My People of Narnia tonight I am proud to announce the great joy that has been brought to me by the great Aslan himself. This joy that I have is one that I would like to share with you and hope that you will love them as much as I do. They have come a long way and tonight they will be forever apart of us and our Kingdom" he says and the people cheer and clap then go silent

"Now may I introduce my children, Princess Ella and Prince Julian Caspian our pride an joy" he says and the doors open. Julian and Ella walk side by side through the crowed and as the do the audience begins to bow. They both smile and look at their father who has two dwarfs holding crowns at his side. The stop and the stairs and kneel down waiting for the crowed to settle down. The King walks up to them and begins to talk again looking happily down at his children

"As Prince and Princess you do not just carry this title but you carry our people along with you. Will you swear to protect them and to honor them as you have honored me?" he asks and the children speak together

"I swear" And he continues

"Will you lead into the goodness of your hearts and hold not evil" he asks and again the speak together

"I swear" and then he smiles and they look up at him ans he turns and takes a small crown and hovers it over Julian

"Then by the power in trusted in me........" he says and puts the crown on Julian and takes the next one and hovers it over Ella

"I with a sound heart and mind......." he says and puts the crown on Ella

"Crown you Prince and Princess of Narina" he says and then looks at the crowed

"Rise and face your new kingdom" he says and the children get up and turn to face the crowed and bow to them and they cheer

"Long live the Prince and Princess Caspian!" Reepichip shots and then everyone else does that and Ella giggles and looks at Julian who smiles. The King goes between them and takes their hands

"Well done" he says and they hug him

"Now let the feast begin" he says and they turn and the music begins again

"Ella come on" Julian tells his sister and grabs her hand

"Lets have some fun" he tells her and the rush through the crowd and The King smiles and laughs as he watches them dance and spin, making each other laugh

"You have done well" a familiar voice says and the King was taken a little back

"Aslan" he says and the lion sits next to him and looks back at the children

"I knew this was what you wanted" he says and the King nods

"Yes, I cannot imagine any other life without them" he says and Aslan nods

"They will make great rulers just like you" He says and the King looks at him

"I think you might be right"

"Dad come on" Ella shouts looking at the King with I smile beautiful smile. He smiles back and turns to see Aslan gone and he sighs

"I hate it when he does that" he says and goes to join his children and all three of them dance and laugh as if nothing else in the world didn't matter and it was just them having fun
