The next morning when most everyone had left, Jack went to the palace. The guards had been notified about his coming and they took him to where many people gathered. He waited with the other people there for almost an hour before royal advisor Mason showed up.
Everyone came to attention and Mason started to describe the rite of the coronation ceremony. The ceremony would take place in the throne room. Everyone would gather first before prince Alonzo made his entrance. A head priest from the Church of Creation would then utter prayers to bless this future king. Afterward, Royal Advisor Mason would read the vows of kingship, which Alonzo would swear to uphold. Mason would then present Alonzo with the royal regalia. Alonzo would then sit on the thrown before Mason put the crown on his head and affirmed Alonzo's status as the new king of Themisphere.
