Epilogue: Happy Family

Narrator's POV

When Queen Beatrice and King Alaric woke up, they discussed something.

"Good morning, my queen,"

"Good morning, my king,"

"What if we go and have a picnic with the twins. Besides, I don't have much work to do today,"

"Sure, let's inform the twins,"

They got ready and went to the twin's room. When they entered their room, the twins are awake and are done getting ready.

"Good morning, Endymion and Serenity,"

"Mother, father. Good morning"

"Glad you are done getting ready,"

"Why?"

"Because we are going to have a picnic outside. Your father suggested it"

"Yehey!"

"Let's go,"

They went to the kitchen and said to the chef that they would be having a picnic outside. The chef prepared the food, and when the chef is done preparing the food, he put the foods and a blanket inside a basket, and they are ready to go.

Queen Beatrice's POV

We are now in the garden and setting the blanket and foods. After setting the foods, we are happily eating.

"So delicious," the twins said.

"It sure is,"

"I want to do this every day," Serenity said.

"Me too, eating outside is the best," Endymion said.

"I agree with you two, right, Alaric?"

"Uhum, the ambiance and surroundings here is nice,"

"Can we play now, mother and father?"

"Sure"

Endymion and Beatrice are happily playing around the garden watching the twins from afar make me happy and satisfied with how my life turns out like this.

I'm thinking about how I unexpectedly became Alaric's fiancé. At first, we hated each other, but we learned to fall in love in just three months. You cannot underestimate the power of love because it will come to you unexpectedly. You can indeed learn to love a person in a short time. I'm thankful to meet Alaric, we have six years age gap, but it's ok. I don't care about our age gap. I'm glad that I married Alaric. I have no regrets. I know that Alaric forced me to marry him, but we learned to love each other and re-marry. Now, we have our little blessings, which are the twins. That's the sign of our love. Time flies fast. I remember the twins are just babies, and they are already five years old. They grew up so fast, not to mention they are smart and independent at that age.

I didn't know that I am now crying.

King Alaric's POV

We are having a picnic outside. The twins are now playing because they are done eating their food. When I turn to Beatrice, she is crying. I went near her and wipe those tears and back hugged her.

"Why is my queen crying?"

"Nothing, I'm just reminiscing about how my life turned out like this. I'm thinking about how we first met, and all, and we have our blessings, which are the twins. Thinking about it, makes me want to cry. Thank you, Alaric that I met you,"

"That's why you are crying. I agree with you. I cannot thank you enough, Beatrice. Just like what I said in my vow to you, you gave light to my dark world, and you taught me how to appreciate small things. Thank you for staying by my side, and thank you also that you gave birth to the twins. That's the best thing that happened to me. Having a family with you is the best thing that happened to me. You, Endymion, and Serenity is all I need to keep going,"

"You are right, Alaric. You are sweet. I'm touched. Alaric, do you still remember my promise to you back then?"

"Yup. You will always be by my side, to protect me, and this is our fight because I am not alone now,"

"Uhum, that's it, and I fulfilled it all Alaric,"

"You are right, Beatrice. Now, I will also make a promise to be by your side always. I'm going to protect you and the twins now, and we will overcome this together,"

"I will keep that in mind. You're a grown man now, Alaric. That's my king. I love you,"

"I love you too, my queen,"

After our sweet and emotional conversation, we kissed passionately. Suddenly the twins called us.

"Mother, father. Let's play,"

"Sure"

We played with the twins.

I'm thankful that my life turns out like this. Me loving Beatrice and our twins.

We have flaws, and we may have misunderstandings sometimes, but we choose to have a happy and perfect life.

I'm glad that I met and married Beatrice. She tamed the arrogant, rude, and childish me. I forced her to marry me, but we learned to love each other and re-marry. It's not a forced marriage anymore because our love is real.

I love you, Beatrice. My wife, queen, and everything.
