She had done it. She had gotten everyone on her side and as they rode to the castle, she couldn't help but feel two things:

Powerful but afraid.

Jace was being the same self-sacrificing Jace by riding as the front and telling Clary that he was the only one that could kill him. Clary hated him for that, but Clary could never hate him. No matter how hard she tried.

The horse were riding quickly, but not quietly. They were waiting until they got close enough for them to leave the horse and go by foot. People were angry, everyone in the camp who grew to love Sage were confused but willing to fight. "What are you thinking about?" Izzy rode up behind her and Clary jumped for a moment.

"Well what's going on now, what's going to happen." Clary stated and glanced back at Izzy. Izzy looked sick.

"Clary, there's something I have to tell you." Izzy forced out and CLary furrowed her brows.

"What is it, Izzy?" Clary asked but then they heard Jace come up to them, suggesting they go by foot now. Clary and Izzy dropped from their horses and Jace grabbed Clary's hand tugging her up to the front. Clary gave Izzy a look that said "tell me later"

Izzy sighed and continued walking with her head elsewhere.

Clary tightened her hand around Jace's and brought it up to her lips to kiss. Jace smiled down at her. "You know, Queen Jocelyn, your mom said that I could only be king by marrying you." Clary smiled.

"So you only want me for the crown, eh?" Clary teased and Jace nodded while laughing.

"There are other perks." Jace answered and Clary's eyes squinted a bit before going back to their doe-size. "There's this pretty gorgeous princess who I get to marry. Oh and the food. I'll order mangoes everyday. Now back to the princess, she'll be my wife. That means staying in the same bed." Clary gasped.

"Jace!" Clary whisper-shouted.

"Hey, I just wanted to cuddle, you're the one who thought that way." Jace defended himself with a little smirk that seemed to turn into a smile the longer it stayed.

"I love you, just so you know." Clary glanced at him and noticed him staring at her.

"The way I feel about you is unexplainable, Clary. Actually, no. I can explain it. I'll love you until I die and if there is a life after that," Jace paused and stopped, facing Clary. "I'll love you then." Clary smiled, then looked down and dragged Jace behind her.

"We have a king to get rid of,"

"Queen Tessa, what a wonderful surprise!" Queen Jocelyn greeted her. Tessa enveloped Jocelyn in a hug. Only when she pulled back did she realize how tense she was. "This is a really awkward time." Jocelyn answered Tessa's confused look.

Tessa glanced back at the fighting behind her, now seeing it. The knights were fighting people with broad swords. A few people lie dead on the ground, but Tessa's main focus was on the King. The king was battling one person, all she could tell about him was there was golden mop on his head. He seemed to be losing, until a loud voice brought everyone to a stop. "Enough!" Princess Clarissa stood in the back of the room, somehow unnoticed by everyone. She had a sword in her hand and she moved to the King, who was astonished. "I said enough." Clary stood in front of Jace, who moved at the king.

"Clarissa?" Valentine asked. "Am I dead?"

"No father. You're not dead, but I'm not Clarissa either." Clary paused and looked at Jace behind her. "My name is Clary, and you have stolen something from me." She looked up at his face, which was darker. The circles beneath his eyes sunken in.

"I have n-" Valentine began.

"You've stolen everything from me! You've took my freedom, my right as a human, my love! You've even stole the truth from me!" Clary shouted over him and moved closer. She moved her weight from one foot to the other and focused on Valentine.

"Clary-" Jace tried but Clary shook her head.

"You aren't human. You're better. You're a little bit everything. A bit of demon blood, a bit of angelic, even downworlder blood. You are everything and nothing at the same time." Valentine challenged. Anger rose up in Clary and she charged at her father, watching as his face turned from one of confidence to utter defeat. "You're my daughter."

"No. I haven't been your daughter since you changed who I am and will always be."

To say Tessa was confused was an understatement but she just watched as they carried Valentine's lifeless body away.

So this last chapter wasn't long, but I decided to end on that note would be amazing. You want to know why?

Because there'll be a sequel.

Let's just say it's a little different than this medieval romeo and juliet stories.
