Prince Kyle and Princess Stella married with the blessings of both families. It was a joyous occasion, and the two of them went on to become some of the most beloved monarchs Larnion ever had. The story they told everyone was that Prince Stan of Zaron went on a journey and emerged magically transformed into the woman she was always meant to be. The fact that she retained her male genitalia was an open secret among the court. The official story was that the magics that transformed her left her barren. They eventually adopted a son together, a rather rambunctious young prince who was an absolute handful to raise.
It couldn't be denied that the two of them were completely and utterly in love. Stella stayed by his side while they attended matters of state, and they played jokes on the court. Stella kept practicing swordsmanship and was fiercely protective of her husband, fighting duels in his honor.
As promised, Kyle and Stella allowed women to join the military and pardoned Wendy for her desertion. Wendy returned to her family. She married Sir Gregory and took up the role as Countess Testaburger, guarding the land in her own right. She brought her very abrasive and obese handmaiden, with whom she was rarely seen without. However, when Lady Wendy would go off to war, her handmaiden would not ride off with her, instead, she would stay behind and look after their daughter.
Months after Stella married Kyle, Prince Stuart McCormick perished, leaving his daughter, Karen, to take the throne. Her first order as princess was to issue a decree allowing the reigning monarch to choose the title of prince or princess, regardless of gender, and accept the rights and responsibilities as they saw fit. Kenny returned home for his father's funeral. He reunited with his beloved sister, who stepped down, allowing him to reign as Princess McCormick. He hired the perfect attendant: the ever loyal and proper Butters Stotch.
The tale of the Singing Lord persisted throughout the kingdom of Zaron. She sang her song from privy to privy, confusing many people and leaving behind nasty shits wherever she went. Some would say that the Singing Lord took occasional trips to Larnion. It was rumored that Princess Stella communicated to her father this way, and that she took quiet trips to the privy at night, catching up on things while standing a good distance away from the door.
No one knew what became of Garrison. However, some colorful rumors had swept up across the lands. Some noted that they saw him on a slave ship, "forced" to give oral pleasure for his livelihood. Others claimed they saw him in a brothel of ill repute, working as a dominatrix. Some odd reports said that a woman who looked just like him was seen in a sultan's harem. The strangest tale of them all had him settle down in a backwater town in Zaron, working as a teacher.
New Kid kept her house open for any person who struggled with keeping in touch with their femininity. She spent many years shepherding those who were lost and dissatisfied with their place in the world and helped them go back into society as the people they were meant to be. She still kept in touch with the original crew, and they invited her to stay with them on multiple occasions. Many long years helping others helped her find the courage to return to her parents, who had been utterly distraught and guilty after having lost their daughter once and promised never to lose her again.
Princess Shelly made no more attempts to kill her sister for a very long time. The king and queen kept a very close watch on her and reminded her time and time again that attacking the wife of the heir of their closest ally would be a terrible idea. However, nothing seemed to calm her down since she had first heard the prophecy. She still remained convinced that her sister was going to kill her and became increasingly paranoid.
This all came to a head when King Gerald of Larnion perished, leaving Kyle to take the throne and, in turn, making Stella Queen of Larnion. Seeing Stella become queen before she did caused Shelly to panic. She attempted to assassinate her sister at the coronation, only for the attempt to misfire and kill a very important duke of Larnion. Stella did her best to calm things down, even going so far as to offer to leave Larnion so that no one else would get hurt, but the lords demanded justice, and King Kyle had little choice but to threaten war with Zaron. To prevent the bloodshed, King Randy and Queen Sharon tearfully turned Shelly over to the monarchs of Larnion for justice on the condition that she be left alive. Shelly spent the rest of her life in a tower prison, locked down by powerful magics designed to contain magical threats to the kingdom.
Without any other heirs to the throne of Zaron, Stella became next in line for the crown. As she was married to the king of Larnion, the two countries were to unite once the throne passed on to her. King Randy and Queen Sharon spent the rest of their reign preparing for the eventual transition. Stella was happy with her life, but she would forever lament a fate that both she and Shelly had worked so hard to avoid.
Kyle and Stella's reign as King and Queen was a hard but happy one as they had to contend with the responsibility of keeping a newly united kingdom stable. However, with hard work, they were able to keep the country prosperous, and they lived happily until the end of their days.
