The sound of music filled everywhere as drums were played vigorously by the guards of the great kingdom. The crowd came into the palace, nobles of the land, kings, and queens of neighboring kingdoms who came riding in their horses and carriages. Servants went up and down the court with foods and drinks of different kinds in their hands. Each King stood with their wives as they walked into the large hall, an announcer calling their names as they stepped inside. 

Prince Robert looked out through his window to watch horses and carriages of different kings and nobles walk into the palace. He stood still with his eyes fixed outside as his servants dressed him in royal robes fit for a king. His hair was plaited down beautifully with a taste by his servants that was so attractive. He glanced at his reflection In the mirror; finally, the day his life will take a turn has come. He looked down at his servants, who dressed with thoughts in his mind. Now, his duty as King must set in; he has to remove his mind from any obstacle and perform what he was born for; he's suitable as the king of Linerdo.

The door flew open; Queen Arundel came in with smiles on her face. She wore a long red gown with a sleeveless tunic, which added more to her attractiveness.

She walked up to Robert, who turned to her with a pretend smile on his face.

"Finally, you will be king of this kingdom," she asserted with a smile on her face. 

Robert nodded, "True mother, finally," he replied, trying to hide the tense in his voice.

Queen Arundel came closer to him; the servants who dressed him moved away and bowed slightly before exiting the room. Queen Arundel glanced at him with gladness in her heart, "You look just like a king; I know you will make a great king because you are a good man," she remarked, filled with smiles.

"I will do my best, mother; my kingdom and subjects are important to me," Robert responded, assuring her.

He decides to make up his mind and let things go; he is about to be crown king and should accept this. Smiling, he patted his mother, "We have to go now, my subjects await," Prince Robert acknowledged walking out of the room as his mother walked beside him, filled with pride. Soldiers walked behind them with swords in their hands, their hardened faces which showed nothing but danger. 

They got close to the hall, the guards opened it as Prince Robert, and Queen Arundel walked into the large foyer with pairs of eyes fixed on them. The crowd bowed as they walked through, heading toward the throne. 

Prince Robert walked along the path with his eyes fixed on the throne as he walked further to it. He got close to it; he turned to face the crowd who bowed at him in respect.

Queen Arundel walked aside and stood along with the other queens as they awaited the oath-taking.

An old official of the old king came forward; the crowd watched with outlandish eyes as they stared at the young prince. After a moment of silence as the official gave a long speech to the public, he praised the kingdom, explaining the history and benefits neighboring domains have benefited from the past king's service. Prince Robert glared at him as the crowd listened with keen interest. Afterward, Prince Robert was called forward for oath-taking.  He stood up with dignity and walked closer, filled with sincerity; he took the oath, his voice echoed in the large hall, a warm sentiment filled the guest who stood watching.  

After the oath-taking, Prince Robert became the crown King of Linerdo, the crown of honor was placed on his head, signifying authority. The public and neighboring kings bowed in tribute to the new king. The ceremony continued with drinking and eating; the whole kingdom was in a merry state that day as they celebrated.
