**(warning: so much lore text).** The royal chambers of Auradon buzzed with the weight of impending coronation. A modist meticulously pinned fabric against Ben’s slender frame, capturing the essence of his soon-to-be-royal suit. Belle and Adam stood nearby, their voices a warm hum of pride, celebrating their son’s readiness to assume the throne. The atmosphere was thick with anticipation and tradition.

Light spilled in from the hallway, silhouetting a new presence as Ben turned, his green eyes shifting from the fabric to the entrance, unaware of the storm of emotions waiting just beyond the threshold for you.
