Ch. 12 - "Finale"

Ahiru could never truly recall the chaos of the aftermath of the king and his adviser's deaths. All she really could recount was when Mytho solemnly became king and slowly began to rebuild his kingdom after the devastating rule of his mad father. After many months, it seemed as if the kingdom was slowly recovering from the maniacal rule of Drosselmeyer and so Mytho and Ahiru mutually agreed to forgo their arranged marriage, for it appeared that their kingdoms would be allies without the need of a political marriage to seal the deal. Ahiru agreed to spend another year in Kinkan in support of the new king as the kingdom slowly tried to heal itself from Drosselmeyer's mad ruling and within that year one memory more than others crossed her mind as one of the happiest. For when Lady Rue and King Mytho finally confessed their love for one another and married, it was on their joyous wedding day that Fakir proposed to Ahiru.

Ahiru smiled as she remembered that happy night as she happily fed ducks in their small lake. She slowly turned to gaze warmly at her new husband as he was doing one of his favorite hobbies, writing. She never would have believed that her life would lead her to this small cottage away from the hustle and bustle of royal life, happily married to a gruff knight. But she was glad that it did.
