I don't own anything in this chapter at all, Shezzaloo does.


When I woke up in the morning, I saw Jaron's leg was wrapped up. I gave him a questioning look, he told me he was going to play a prank on them. I rolled my eyes; same old Jaron.

I noticed Jaron looked over at Roden, like he wanted to tell him something but couldn't. I wondered how much I'd missed.

Jaron told me and Roden the plan, Roden and Jaron were meant to create a big fuss, then I was supposed to sneak out. I watched as the vigils came and got the boys.

I heard someone asking about Jaron's ankle. Suddenly he and Roden started screaming and shouting, I waited then snuck out hiding in the shadows. I turned right and looked out the door, seeing a big crowd. I went out to join them, and stood a bit further away again hiding myself. I saw gallows standing on a big stage.

The doors opened and I watched with horror as Jaron and Roden were brought out and a noose tied around their necks. Jaron said something and Conner punched him. Jaron doubled over with pain. He stood up.

The stools were kicked out from beneath them.

Suddenly, Jaron had a knife in his hand and he cut his rope and Roden's then fell to the ground. Jaron ran as vigils and King Vargan followed him. I discreetly followed, using the secret passages.

I watched as he tries to kill Jaron, but Conner stands in the way and dies. Then he tries again, but is intercepted by Kippenger and ends up dying himself.

I step out of the passageway and saw Jaron, Kippenger, King Humfrey, Lord Kerwyn, and the dead bodies of Conner and Vargan. I saw a piece of paper and picked it up. It said in Jaron's writing 'I wouldn't sign over my toenail to you.'

Jaron saw me and rushed over, and we kissed.


Jaron and I got married in the castle and we have lived a happy life since. Tobias and Amarinda are happily married.

We all remembered Roden and Harlowe's tearful embrace as Roden admitted that he was Harlowe's long lost son.

Jaron and I will live a long and healthy life together.
