It had been a whirlwind of emotions for Y/N ever since the letter arrived. The words burned in her mind: "Your coronation will take place in two days. You are to return to Elldora immediately to assume your role as queen." The pressure was mounting, the weight of a crown, of expectations, pressing down on her shoulders.

The ball had come and gone, and Y/N had spent the night with her closest friends, unsure how to navigate the new reality she had just stepped into. But the next day, things took an unexpected turn.

The boys—Mattheo, Theo, Blaise, Draco, and Enzo—had gathered in the Slytherin common room to keep her company, as always. Y/N had been distant, her thoughts racing. The idea of returning to Elldora, of being crowned queen, was both exhilarating and terrifying. She hadn't yet told them everything—at least, not the full scope of what it meant. And now, she wasn't sure how they would take it when the world found out.

A knock at the door interrupted her spiraling thoughts, and the boys turned to face it. The house elf who had been carrying messages handed over a large, sealed envelope. The seal was unmistakable—the Elldoran royal crest. Y/N took the envelope, her fingers trembling slightly, and ripped it open. As she read aloud, the room fell eerily silent.

"A royal broadcast will be made today, revealing Princess Y/N's return to Elldora and her forthcoming coronation. It is time for the kingdom to know their true queen, and for the world to witness the future of Elldora."

Y/N dropped the letter, her eyes wide. "It's happening sooner than I thought. The whole world will know today."

"Wait a second," Enzo said, his voice filled with disbelief. "You're telling me the whole world is going to know who you are now? What's the plan?"

Y/N's expression hardened as she looked down at her hands, gripping her necklace tightly. "The truth has to come out. I can't keep hiding it anymore."

Theo, usually calm and collected, looked at Y/N with concern. "But what does that mean for us? For your friends here? You've been keeping this secret for so long."

Y/N stood, feeling the weight of their gazes on her. "It means that I need to return to Elldora. I'm not just Y/N Kane anymore. I'm Princess Y/N of Elldora, soon to be crowned Queen. And I can't do it alone."

There was a long silence, but then Mattheo, who had been leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, straightened. "So... what does that mean for me?"

Y/N took a deep breath. She had been dreading this moment, but she knew it was the only way forward. "Mattheo, you're already 'engaged' to me."

His eyebrows shot up. "What? I—I'm not—"

"Listen to me," Y/N interrupted, her tone more urgent than before. "You're already 'engaged' to me. It makes it easier for both of us, especially with the political landscape in Elldora. It's expected that the queen will marry someone who will be by her side—someone who is fit to rule, and you are a future king. I need someone who can help me navigate all of this."

Mattheo stood there, utterly speechless, the realization dawning on him as her words sank in.

"You're... what? Engaged to me?" Mattheo repeated, his voice a mix of confusion and disbelief. "But we've never—"

Y/N cut him off, her voice firm. "We don't need to be in love for it to make sense, Mattheo. This isn't about love; it's about what's best for Elldora and for both of us. You're going to be a king someday, and the public needs to see that we're united. It's the only way to solidify my claim to the throne and ensure stability."

He stared at her for a long moment, his gaze shifting from confusion to something unreadable. "You want me to pretend we're engaged?"

Y/N nodded. "For now. When we get back to Elldora, the world will expect it. But I promise you, I won't force you into anything you're not ready for. This is just for appearances."

Draco let out a low whistle from across the room, clearly stunned by the turn of events. "Well, this is... unexpected. So, what now? Are we supposed to just let you walk off to Elldora and let the world know we've all been in on this secret the entire time?"

"I'm not going alone," Y/N said firmly, her voice carrying a sense of finality. "I can't. I need all of you with me. You're my family, and Elldora's royal court won't accept me unless they see that I have the loyalty of those who truly care about me."

Blaise, who had been silently observing, finally spoke up. "So, we're all coming with you, then?"

Y/N nodded. "Yes. I need all of you. Mattheo will be at my side as my 'fiancé,' and the rest of you... you're my council, my closest allies. I can't do this alone."

The boys stood in silence, processing the gravity of the situation. They had all known Y/N as their friend, their equal, and now, the reality of her royal identity was undeniable. But as they looked at her, they saw something more than the princess or future queen—this was still their friend, Y/N, the one they had laughed with, fought with, and stood beside through thick and thin.

Finally, Mattheo broke the silence, his voice a bit more composed now. "Alright, princess. If this is what you need, then I'll be your 'fiancé.' But don't think I'm doing this for the crown. I'm doing this because you need me, and I'll stand by you, no matter what."

Y/N smiled, a mixture of relief and gratitude flooding her chest. "Thank you, Mattheo. You don't know how much that means to me."

"Alright, alright," Enzo chimed in, grinning. "I guess we better start practicing how to act like royals, huh? Gotta make sure we look good on the TV screen."

Just as he said that, the sound of a magical broadcast began to echo through the room. The television, a rare magical device, flickered to life, displaying the royal emblem of Elldora.

The broadcast began, and Y/N's face appeared on the screen, surrounded by regal imagery. The voice of the announcer boomed through the room.

"Today, the Kingdom of Elldora welcomes its true heir, Princess Y/N, who is now preparing to take the throne and become its queen. Alongside her, the future king, Mattheo Riddle, is officially announced as her royal fiancé."

The boys stood, watching in awe as the screen showed Y/N's regal appearance, her sapphire necklace gleaming under the lights. The words "Royal Engagement" flashed across the screen, sealing their roles in Elldora's destiny.

Y/N took a deep breath, turning to her friends. "This is it," she said quietly. "The world will know now. Let's face it together."

With that, the Slytherins stood beside her, ready for whatever challenges Elldora would throw their way. As the future queen and her loyal council, they would navigate the treacherous waters of politics, love, and power—together.

It was a grand, unforgettable day in Elldora. The capital city buzzed with excitement as preparations for Y/N's coronation were underway. The entire kingdom had been waiting for this moment—her official ascension to the throne, a moment she had never imagined would come so soon. The streets were lined with banners bearing the royal crest, and the air was thick with anticipation. The whole kingdom was watching, waiting to see the crown placed upon the young princess's head.

Y/N stood at the edge of the royal balcony, overlooking the bustling crowd below. The weight of the situation, the expectations, and the responsibility seemed heavier now than ever before. Beside her stood Mattheo, his tall form radiating quiet strength. He had been by her side through everything—her secret life at Hogwarts, the unspoken engagement, and now the coronation that would change everything.

The crowd below cheered as the royal procession began to move forward, with nobles and dignitaries lining the streets, all gathered to witness the event. But for Y/N, it felt almost unreal. The soft rustle of her royal gown and the glint of the sapphire pendant around her neck made her feel like a different person. She wasn't just Y/N Kane anymore; she was now Queen Y/N of Elldora.

"You okay?" Mattheo's voice cut through her thoughts, soft and reassuring. He stood close to her, his hand lightly resting on the small of her back. His presence was a grounding force for her, something she hadn't realized she needed so desperately until this very moment.

Y/N nodded, though she felt a flutter in her chest. "I don't think I'll ever be ready for this. But I don't have a choice, do I?"

"No," Mattheo replied with a wry smile. "But you're not doing it alone. I'm with you."

She turned to face him, a soft smile tugging at her lips. His words gave her a sense of peace, something she hadn't realized she was craving.

The doors of the royal hall opened, signaling the beginning of the ceremony. The grand hall was filled with towering marble pillars and golden chandeliers. The soft murmur of the crowd was drowned out by the heavy sound of footsteps as the royal court, including Y/N's closest friends, lined up on either side. The nobles and dignitaries watched eagerly, their eyes trained on the young princess who was about to be crowned.

Y/N took a deep breath and stepped forward, her heart pounding in her chest. Mattheo walked beside her, their hands brushing lightly. He squeezed her hand just as they reached the altar, where the high priest stood, ready to perform the ancient coronation rites.

The high priest raised a golden crown, the jewels sparkling in the light. "By the power vested in me, I crown you Queen Y/N of Elldora, ruler of the realm, protector of the people, and heir to the throne. May your reign bring prosperity and peace to this land."

The crown was lowered onto Y/N's head, the weight of it symbolic of the duty now thrust upon her. The entire hall erupted in applause, and Y/N felt the gravity of her new role settle over her. But through it all, one thing remained clear: she had Mattheo by her side.

As the applause died down, Y/N turned to face him, their eyes locking. She had always known that the engagement, the marriage, the public image—it was all about politics. But in this moment, standing before an entire kingdom, she realized that Mattheo wasn't just a pawn in her political game. He was the person she trusted more than anyone else. And maybe, just maybe, she could let herself feel something more than just duty.

She didn't think, she just acted. She took a step toward Mattheo and, without warning, kissed him—softly, slowly, and with a tenderness that surprised both of them.

The hall fell silent for a split second, the unexpected gesture catching everyone off guard. Y/N pulled back slightly, her cheeks flushed, but her gaze remained steady on Mattheo's.

"You're not just my fiancé," she whispered, her voice barely audible but full of emotion. "You're my partner in this, Mattheo. I need you, now more than ever."

Mattheo stood still for a moment, his hand gently cupping her face. His eyes softened, his lips curling into a small but genuine smile. "I'll always be here, Y/N. You're not alone in this."

The crowd, who had been stunned by the public display of affection, erupted into applause. The kingdom was watching, and they were beginning to see the unity between their future queen and the man who would stand by her side as king. The moment had solidified their bond, both politically and emotionally.

As the coronation ceremony came to a close, Y/N turned to face her people, her gaze sweeping over the crowd. For the first time, she felt a sense of clarity. The crown may have been heavy, but with Mattheo by her side and the support of her friends, she could face whatever came next. She wasn't just Queen Y/N of Elldora. She was Y/N Kane, a girl who had been loved and supported by her friends, and now, by the kingdom.

And in that moment, she knew she could rule—not alone, but with the strength of those who mattered most. Together, they would face the challenges ahead.
