Naboo, Theed Palace Plaza
1654 local time
The roar of the crowd could be heard even through the thick walls of the palace, and it brought a grin to Kai's face as he peered out the window at the masses that had gathered. The thought that they were here for them, for his sister--for HouseVeruna--filled him with overwhelming pride. Decades of machinations and a never-ending determination to put their family name back on the map all culminated on this day, the coronation of Queen Réillata of Naboo, the first monarch from House Veruna in far longer than anyone could even consider.
Kai was dressed in a dark suit, his hair prepared to perfection, the lightest tinge of eyeliner under his eyelid for a trendy look that the make up artist had claimed the people would love. He was sitting in the chambers he'd been lead to, waiting for Sandé to finish being prepared for showtime by her handmaidens, which should not be taking much longer considering the ceremony was about to begin. As the door swung open and she stepped inside, he stood up and bowed.
"My Lady," he greeted nobly, then looked up at her and grinned. "Ready to become a part of history?"
Outside, thousands had gathered to watch the coronation of their new monarch, a Queen to follow another, though their reigns would be wildly different. The entire event was being broadcasted on the holonet, droids zooming by above snapping photographs and recording the proceedings, the people of Naboo raving on social media already. Political commentators discussed the transition of power and speculated on what it may mean for the future of the planet and the sector. Celebrity news channels oohhd and aahhd as they analyzed the outfits of every significant figure visible, from their hair to their shoes to the pins they wore on their clothes.
Kai and Sandé would exit the room together and head toward the side exit that lead to the massive balcony where, in view of the crowd, the ceremony would begin.
