"Where is Taehyung?" The king called loudly.
The coronation was supposed to start in an hour and the soon to be king was no where to be found.
"I'm not sure, I'll look for him, we will meet you there" Jungkook smiled, quickly bowing and ran off to find his husband.
He looked around and even tried mind linking with the alpha but he got nothing. He could feel something was wrong, it was like his heart knew that Tae was is some sort of mental pain. He smelt the air, and the chocolatey smell wasn't very strong, but it was still there. He ran in different rooms looking for the boy but he couldn't find him.

He then thought about the place they always go to. The tree. Jungkook quickly ran outside and ran in the direction of the tree. Till finally he saw his husband with his head in his knees. Jungkook ran over to him and heard his cries. Jungkook rushed over with worry and quickly crouched in front of him. He pulled Taehyung's head out of his knees so he could look at him. When Taehyung saw Jungkook with a worried face, he dove into Jungkook's embrace, making the boy fall backwards onto the grass. It didn't hurt, as the ground was somewhat soft. Jungkook had his arms around the elder who had his head dug into the crook of Jungkook's neck and he laid to the side of Jungkook. The younger held Taehyung tightly, while running his fingers through his fluffy hair.

"It's okay Tae" Jungkook hushed the alpha, calming him down.
Just Jungkook's scent alone calmed the elder down straight away. Taehyung's tears slowly stopped and his sniffs had died down.
"What's wrong hyungie?" Jungkook softly asked not pulling away from their hug.
"I don't think I can do it. How am I supposed to be king? How am I supposed to rule a kingdom? I can't do it. My father was amazing, I can't be the same, I can't live up to him" Taehyung said in a hoarse voice.
Jungkook shuffled slightly and made Tae rest his head on the ground. Jungkook did the same and faced him, looking at the alpha in his eyes.

"Listen to me, you will be an amazing king. You will rule this kingdom with so much power and strength. You care for your people and you make sure that they all live a decent life. It won't be easy, but when has being a royal ever been easy. We will be King and Queen, side by side forever. I'll be here for you, and I'll help you as long as you don't push me away. You are ready for this step, you just need to realise it" Jungkook said caressing his cheek softly, and placing a sweet kiss on the alpha's nose.

Taehyung looked at Jungkook with pure adoration. Jungkook was the best thing that had ever happened to him and he loved him with every fibre of his body. He knew Jungkook would be the perfect Queen for Eunoia. He thought about what the omega said, and he knew he was ready he just didn't want to admit it. He did love his kingdom and he was ready to protect it no matter what.

Taehyung nodded before pressing his lips onto Jungkook's. The kiss was full of love and passion. They pulled away and looked at each other with their eyes glowing the red and blue.
"You're the best wife I could ever ask for" Tae admitted to the younger.
"And you're the best husband I could ever ask for, now go out there and show the kingdom that you are the rightful king" Jungkook hyped the male up making Tae smile. "My handsome prince will turn to my charming king" the omega giggled, chanting King Taehyung over and over again.
"Hm and what about my beautiful prince, he'll turn into my ethereal queen" Taehyung whispered sweetly.

The two stood up from the floor and quickly hugged. Jungkook dried the elders face, and blew on the elders eyes, helping the puffiness to go down. Taehyung took hold of the boys hand and they walked back to the palace with big smiles on their faces.
"Ah prince you're finally here we need to get you to the throne room!" One of the butlers said quickly brushing down the prince's suit jacket, as it had a few pieces of grass attached to it.
A maid did the same with Jungkook suit and they began walking through the long corridors towards the thrown room.

They could hear muttering from the people waiting for the ceremony to start. The king was already in there, sitting on the throne one last time. He looked to the side to see the empty seat next to him. Although the knew the Queen would be sitting there.
"Our son is all grown up" the king whispered under his breath as he still looked at the seat next to him. "He'll be a great king" he then said before smiling slightly and turning his head back, facing everyone who waited patiently.

Until finally the coronation began. The doors opened and in walked the prince, who was soon to be king. Standing just behind Tae was Jungkook. They both had straight backs and were looking powerful and ready to be crowned King and Queen. They walked down to where the throws were and Jungkook stood to the side. Taehyung stood facing the Archbishop.
"We are here today to watch the Prince of Eunoia administer the coronation oath and become king" the Archbishop said with a clear voice.

"Your majesty, are you willing to take the oath?" He asked Taehyung.
"I am willing" Taehyung replied with strength.
Taehyung is given a book as he answers the questions given.
"Will you promise and swear to govern the people of Eunoia, your possessions and the other territories belonging or shared by you?"
"I solemnly promise to do so"
"Will you to your power cause Law and justice, in mercy to be carried out in all your judgments?"
"I will"
After Taehyung had done that, he was given the royal possessions in both his hands and he turned to face the crowd.
"The things which I have here before promised' I will perform and keep"

After that the king takes the crown which was once his and crowns his son king. Everyone cheered loudly.
"All hail the king" Taehyung's father called proudly.
Everyone other than his father and the Archbishop got on their knees. Jungkook wasn't expected to do so, but he wanted to.
"All hail the king" everyone shouted holding a fist to their chest where their heart would sit.
They then all stood up and smiled at their new king.

Next it was Jungkook's turn. The Archbishop copied the same questions and Jungkook answered everything the same as Taehyung, repeating the same promises. Till finally Taehyung took the Queen's crown and brought it up to Jungkook's head. He placed it softly in his hair and smiled at him.
"All hail the Queen" Taehyung shouted facing back to the people in front of him.
They all got back on their knees, as well as Taehyung, who again wasn't supposed to but he wanted to.
"All hail the Queen" everyone yelled back and stood to their feet, cheering the new King and Queen happily.

Taehyung took hold of his Queen's hand and walked them to their thrones's. They sat down and looked at their people proudly.
