**** 34 ****
The ascension of Serenity as queen of Rosaria was scheduled for July
5th and her coronation was scheduled for September 28th. The kingdom
was all the buzz about Serenity becoming queen. The day came for Serenity's
ascension and Serenity wore the expensive gown that she was given by Maggie.
The dress was pink and white and Serenity's hair seemed to blend in with the colors
of her gown. Her slippers were made of glass and were pink. On her chest was her
Rosendorf Family Heirloom that she was given and was now a necklace. The chain
was pure silver with diamonds on it.
Serenity, Queen Renee, King William, the whole Rosendorf family, and all of Serenity's
friends were escorted to the Rosarian Administrative headquarters where Serenity
would become queen. Once there, Serenity was briefed on what would happen during
her ascension to the throne. She was told that this is just the ceremony for her to
becoming queen and she would be crowned queen. Prime Minister Henry Williamson
welcomed her.
"Good morning your highness princess Serenity, Queen Renee, and King William.
This will be a day long remembered. Today, you will be queen. I bet you are nervous."
Prime Minister greeted Princess Serenity and her parents. She was asked if she was
nervous. If she was nervous, she wouldn't show it.
"Good morning Mr. Williamson, I am just fine. I am not nervous."
Serenity answered him and Mr. Williamson smiled her and bowed. They brought
the highest judge in the land of Rosaria. Her name was Leah. Leah approached
princess Serenity and spoke to her.
"At twelve noon, you will be sworn in as queen of Rosaria and at that time, your
parents will be Duke and Duchess of Rosedain and you my dear will be queen
Serenity II. You will be the youngest woman ever to become queen of this fine
land. Mister Prime Minister Henry Williamson will bring the old Rosarian Rose,
an heirloom of the Kingdom of Rosaria that is claimed to belong to the first
Monarch of Rosaria way back when the country was first unified. It was dipped
in liquid gold and has been in the possession of the kingdom of Rosaria. That
Golden Rose where you will place your right hand on the rose and you will
raise your left hand and take the following oath as queen:
'I Serenity Renee Rosendorf, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of
Queen of Rosaria, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the Kingdom of Rosaria, to do Justice and Rule Wisely in all matters of the
Kingdom until death do I part or I am unfit to rule. So help me God.'
That is the oath of the office of the king or queen of Rosaria. I hope you approve of it?"
Leah explained to Princess Serenity and she was amazed by the size of the oath of
office.
"Wow, that's a lot of words in that oath."
Serenity spoke in a surprised tone of her voice.
"Indeed, the king or queen of Rosaria is a big thing here and everyone will rely on
your wisdom and judgement in all matters. I know you will do well."
Leah explained that the oath of office of the Monarch of Rosaria was a big thing.
Twelve noon came and the swear in ceremony was covered live on television.
Henry Williamson stood next to Leah. She was the highest judge of the land.
She was a middle aged woman who had been supreme judge for five years
and was appointed by Queen Renee II herself. She handed the Golden Rose
to the Prime Minister and she spoke to Princess Serenity.
"Princess Serenity, could you please place your right hand on the Golden
Rose and raise your left hand?"
Leah asked and Princess Serenity did as instructed. Henry Williamson held the
Golden Rose and Leah spoke again.
"I Serenity Renee Rosendorf..."
Leah started and Princess Serenity repeated what she had said and Leah continued.
"do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute..."
Leah continued once again and Princess Serenity repeated once again what Leah had
said.
"the Office of Queen of Rosaria."
Once again Leah repeated and Princess Serenity followed Leah's lead and repeated
what Leah had spoken.
"and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the
Kingdom of Rosaria..."
Leah continued and Princess Serenity repeated what Leah had said.
"to do Justice and Rule Wisely in all matters of the Kingdom until death do I part or I am
unfit to rule..."
Leah continued and Princess Serenity repeated once again.
"So help me God."
Leah spoken once again as she concluded the oath.
"So help me God!"
Princess Serenity finished the oath and Leah shook Princess Serenity's hand
and spoke to the new monarch.
"Congratulations your majesty!" Leah spoke to Queen Serenity II and then spoken
to the crowd, "Today Rosaria has a new queen! May I present to you, her majesty
Queen Serenity II!"
Leah spoke to Queen Serenity II and then spoken to the crowd. The crowd cheered.
Serenity felt a little strange. She never been a queen before. But she thought it would
be a good experience for her. Queen Serenity II gave a small speech that was prepared
for her. Henry Williamson bowed to the new queen and then spoke.
"Your majesty, I have selected a secretary that will help you in all matters of the kingdom.
She will meet you after your coronation."
Henry Williamson had told her.
"Thank you mister Prime Minister."
The queen thanked him. Time had passed and it was time for the coronation. The
queen and all the royal family had all practiced the coronation. Then the day of the
Coronation came and the procession started with Serenity II in a stagecoach where
it headed to the Rosarian Administrative Headquarters where she would be crowned
queen of Rosaria. Then they arrived and got out of the stagecoach and made their
way inside. Inside, the Archbishop of the Rosarian Church was waiting. The queen made
her way inside the building to the place where she would be crowned. There was
a chair covered with gold that had golden roses all over it. The Archbishop motioned for
her to sit. Before she sat, they placed a heavy red coat that had wool on the inside.
This royal robe was only given to a monarch after he or she became king or queen.
Serenity never felt anything so soft and heavy at the same time.
The Archbishop handed her a Golden Orb that had a small golden rose on top. Serenity
took it and held it in her right hand. The Archbishop spoke.
"Your majesty, Queen Serenity, welcome to your coronation. This will be a day
you will remember. I pray that you will have grace, judgement and wisdom for
the days, months, and wisdom to come."
The Archbishop told her and Serenity acknowledged him. Time passed and the Archbishop
handed her the Golden Scepter had a golden rose entwined all over it. Serenity took
the scepter and held it in her left hand. The Archbishop spoke again.
"Your majesty, this Golden Scepter has been in the royal kingdom of Rosaria since the
first king ruled here. May you live a long time and rule wisely."
The Archbishop spoke again and Serenity acknowledged him again but remained silent.
Then the Archbishop took the Rosarian Royal Crown. The Crown was very heavy and
weighed at least five pounds. It had gems and jewels all over it. Whenever a new monarch
was to be crowned, the previous monarchs would place jewels representing them. On this
day, Serenity decided against having her hair up in Odangos so she could wear the royal
crown. The Archbishop then carried the crown in his hands and brought it down to Serenity's
head. The queen was officially crowned. He spoke again.
"Your majesty, Queen Serenity II, may your reign be long and prosperous from this day forward."
The Archbishop told her and as before, Serenity remained silent. The ceremony was complete.
Then Serenity's mother and father joined her on either side of the throne and official picture was
taken for the occasion. Nearby stood Celestria, Countess Victoria, Princess Sarah and all her siblings,
Hector, Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Mamoru, Luna, Artemis, Naru, Umino, and also the two birds Pyra and
Athena. It was a new beginning for the Kingdom of Rosaria.
The next day, the queen met her new secretary. Her name was Leanne.
"Greetings, your majesty! My name is Leanne! I am your personal secretary! I will help you with all
your business related dealings with you being queen."
Leanne told her. Leanne curtsied to the queen and the queen spoke.
"Glad to meet you Leanne. You will do fine I am sure. Don't you think so Athena?"
Queen Serenity answered Leanne and then turned to Athena which sat nearby and
Athena made a screech of approval.
"Thank you your majesty."
Leanne thanked her. Leanne had shoulder length hair that was brown. She had blue
eyes. She stood about five feet three inches tall. She wore a white blouse with a pink
suit jacket and a matching pink skirt with pink high heeled shoes. Leanne was around
the age of twenty five and was very bright person.
A few days later, Hector escorted Queen Serenity II and Celestria to the Rosarian Administrative
Headquarters which new enemies appeared and cut off their way to the Rosarian Administrative
Headquarters. The queen and Celestria stepped out of the limo and transformed into Sailor Moon
and Sailor Sun. Pyra and Athena also transformed into Battle Phoenix and Battle Falcon. Sailor
Moon spoke.
"Time to call the troops! Sailor Senshi Assemble!"
Sailor Moon yelled releasing the gems to the edge of her fingers and the Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo
Mask appeared to battle these new enemies, however, this is a story for another time!
THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES!
