Soon, all the royal families have arrived at the Dark Isles. Queen Lavender of the Radiant Garden, Lady Cassandra and Lord Percival De Rolo of Whitestone, Queen Aja and Prince Krel Tarron of Akridion-5, and of course the hosts of the party Queen Hopelily Casperan, Lord Hisirdoux Casperan, and Lady Hevenora Kurayami. 

So far, everything was going great. The people of the Dark Isle were super excited to meet the other royals, and the other royals were happy to meet the people of this kingdom. The festivities lasted all afternoon and well into the evening, until finally it was almost time for the joining other king kingdoms. 

"Are you nervous, little bro?" Hopelily asked as she helped her twin get ready. 

"What gave it away?" Douxie asked with a worried look on his face. 

"I know this is nerve-racking, but you got this." Hopelily smiled as she fixed Douxie's hair. "You've run this kingdom the longest. Our people trust you."

Douxie took a deep breath and smiled at his sister. "You're right, thanks, twinsie."

"No problem, that's what sisters are for." Hopelily smiled. "Now, you're almost on. Did you get your speech prepared?"

"I sure do." Douxie said confidently. "What about the other leaders? Are they ready? House Tarron?"

"Check." Hopelily said with a confident smile. "Aja is going to do their speech."

"The Radiant Garden?" Douxie asked. 

"We're right here, honey." Lavender suddenly said as she walked in the room. "I have my speech ready."

"Perfect, and finally, Whitestone." Douxie said. "Cassandra and Percival are coming, right?"

"Yeah, I'm sure of it." Lavender said, a little hesitantly. "They're not here yet, but I'm sure they'll be here in time for their speech."

"Bloody hell." Douxie said, now starting to stress out a little. "Well, I guess we should get started without them and trust that they'll make it in time."

Suddenly, Makayla came into the room with an excited look on her face. "Doux, it's time!"

Douxie took a deep breath and started to walk out onto the balcony, but not before looking back at his family and smiled. "Here goes nothing." was all Douxie said before turning back and finally walked out as his sisters fallowed behind and the crowd began to cheer.

"Hello, citizens of the Dark Isles! It's amazing to see you all here today." Douxie greeted, the crowds exciting energy now rubbing off on the royal siblings as they started to feel just as excited. "I'm super excited to announce the official joining of the kingdoms of all the realms." 

The crowd clapped and cheered even more before going silent so that Douxie could continue his speech. "Now, before I introduce the others, I'd like to say a few words. Firstly, this kingdom has endured a lot in the past." Douxie explained. "The curse I accidentally cased on a long time ago, the whole ordeal with the spirits of the Enchanted Wild Wood, Arch Angel's cures and the Master Despair thing, and our more recent encounter. . . "

Before he could finish his statement, Douxie paused as he looked over at his twin sister, unsure if he should bring up the specific topic he wanted to mention. However, Hopelily just smiled and gave a small nod. "The encounter with. . . Shadow, aka your current Queen Hopelily Casperan. Who will introduce the other leaders, now."

Once again, the crowd clapped as Hopelily stepped in front of the mic after giving a curtsy towards Douxie, who gave a small bow in return. "Thanks once again, everyone, for joining us today and for being able to forgive mine and my brothers mistakes towards our people." Hopelily said honestly. "Now, please welcome the kingdom who has already been our ally for a while. Give it up for my favorite sisters in law. . . Lavender Rose!"

Lavender then walked up to Douxie and gave him a quick kiss before heading up to the balcony. 

"Here are special brooches, made from bits of the Heart Of Avalon and embedded with the Dark Isle crest." Nora said as she walked up to her sister-in-law and pinned the jewels on their shirts. "Officially signifying you guys as members of the United Realms!"

The crowd cheered as Lavender stepped up to the mic. "Thank you, Nora. Thank you to the Dark Isles, I'm honored to be allied with such an amazing kingdom." Lavender smiled. "And yes, the kingdom defiantly has its dark history, but you guys are strong. But now, with the Radiant Garden on your side, you'll be even stronger!"

Once she was done, Lavender did a curtsy and walked back into the palace. At that moment, Hopelily once again stepped up to introduce the next royal family. "Now the next family we would like to introduce is. . . House Tarron!"

Aja and Krel then came up to the stage and wasted no time giving their speech. "Hey everybody, there in;t really much I can say that Lavender hasn't said. But I feel like this is a great start, for all good extraterrestrials to feel welcomed and appreciated." Aja said honestly, with a smile. "When my brother and I first came to earth, it didn't seem like humans would be very excepting to us if they knew the truth."   

"That is until we met, well humans our age and it turned out that we weren't the only weirdos in town." Krel added as he stepped up to the mic. "They became our friends and continued to help us even after they knew our secret."

"We are honored to be the first other worldly beings to align with a human kingdom." Aja said. "Thank you once again, Dark Isles for welcoming us into your alliance."

The crowd clapped once more as Nora gave brooches to the Akridions and they walked back into the palace. "And finally, the last member of the Royal Alliance. . . give it up for our friends from a whole other realm, Lady Cassandra and Lord Percival De Rolo!"

With that said, Hopelily waited as the De Rolos were supposed to come up and give a speech like the others. However, they weren't anywhere to be found. "Uh, looks like were having. . . some difficulties at the moment." Hopelily said with a nervous chuckle. "Just hang tight everybody."
