THREE MONTHS LATER Queen Francesca’s POV “For too long the people of this kingdom didn’t have the rights they were entitled to. Our children were forgotten, our vulnerable were pushed aside and all humanity seemed to be lost… but today, I feel nothing but hope in my heart because today signifies the beginning of a new era.” I state turning my head to look at the building behind me. “One that my mom and dad would be proud of.” There is a burst of applause as a pair of scissors are handed to me by one of the guards. “Arthur… please step up here too. This is as much your vision as mine.” I whisper to him softly. He smiles and steps forward to receive another pair of scissors. “Thank you, Your Majesty.” “Again with the ‘Your Majesty’?” I laugh in return. “Always! You know me!”
