Monoceros passed and every unicorn of note was at the castle before the sun set. It was harsh but the fledgling nation needed a king. One who would channel the power of all unicorns and direct the sun and moon in their course through the sky.

He had no sons, only two daughters. The council deliberated at length but it was clear from the beginning they would choose his brother over his blank-flank eldest daughter. 

The dealings of court were never important to Celestia, she snuck out before the first hour was up. As the empty deliberations dragged on and on no unicorn noticed that the sun had already set without a king. As the sun set in the sky it rose on Celestia’s flank.
