Love in the Flower Archipelago: Rosie's Love Life

Written by the Sapphire Prince

The Epilogue

It has been a long journey for Rosamunde Fierra to truly discover how she felt about love, life, and most importantly Skyler. In the beginning, she refused to be courted by anyone, refusing to believe the gossip that surrounded she and Skyler. She falsely considered the Prince as a possible suitor, as did Rochelle, who, once she met Holden, completely dropped the entire idea. And finally, trying to decipher the weird feelings that she had when sometimes around Mr. Skyler and accepting his proposal, not caring about the consequences. It has been a harrowing journey to self-realization indeed.

So, in this epilogue, I would like to further evaluate each character's life after the last chapter, for I am afraid that I did not write more to explain every new situation that I introduced.

Firstly, I will start with the royalty.

The sovereign, Queen Grace, soon after met a Duke, the Duke of Hawthorne and fell deeply in love with him. She did not abdicate her thrown to marry him, after all, she was the queen and had long since decided that one should marry who one pleases. She had one child, Princess Bethany, who became queen, once the queen died of a bout of pneumonia, at the young age of sixteen. She reigned for a long time, about twenty years, being called the Chastity Queen, having never married. She decided that her uncle had better have a chance.

Prince Burke had long since married an opera sing name, Florence Camden and had one boy and one girl, Prince Harold and Princess Valerie, who each ruled for ten years after his death. He still held a soft for Rosamunde Fierra, and sent her a bouquet of golden roses to her door every day that that party took place on.

The monarchy itself has not vanished, it has simply had some power taken out of it. Flora, most frequently just referred to as the Flower Archipelago nowadays, is presently a constitutional monarchy, run in much the same way as the United Kingdom.

I will now go on to the Fierra clan.

Mr. and Mrs. Fierra lived long, dutiful lives. They had long since begat Rosie, and at a time when they thought Mrs. Fierra would not give birth again, gave birth to the triplets, Evan, Julian, and Rosalynne. They donated money to charities and organizations and did their best as parents, encouraging each child to do as he/she pleased.

Mr. and Mrs. Fierra did not agree with the way Rosie ran away with Skyler and got married and did not tell her until a week afterwards, but they did not mind at all. They considered Skyler to be an honorable man and was sure that his intentions were pure. And Mrs. Fierra was overjoyed at the fact that she would soon be a grandmother.

Evan and Julian and their sister decided, once they were older of course, to run a pokemon vacationland or daycare. It was highly successful and people from all over Flora and neighboring countries dropped their pokemon off there.

Hannah and Joshua Fairfield lived good lives, cherishing their children, Melody, Harmony, and the youngest, Brian, who really wanted to be a pokemon watcher.

Rochelle and Holden were very happy with one another. Each day was just as amusing as the next, and even more so once she started having children. A baby per year for six years is how went, and they all came out happy and healthy. There were three boys, Holden Jr., Laurence, and Devon, and three girls, Christine, Cassandra, and Charlize.

Chadwick and Charlene had a wonderful life. especially once they focused on composing, with a random concert here or there. They had one child, a boy named Chadwick Jr., who they adored. He became a pianist and a violinist.

Peony and her husband had one more child, a boy name Robert, many years after Phoebe (A/N: Sorry for calling her Penelope, I was thinking about the heroine of a Julia Quinn novel called Romancing Mr. Bridgerton) was born.

She thought that Rosie's marriage was very romantic and did not dare hinder her progress. However, she did receive the brunt of Rose's yelling, for allowing her to do so. They made up immediately.

All of the women stayed in contact with one another by frequent visits, correspondence, and meeting at gatherings, as did the children who were practically inseparable.

Skyler, once aboard his ship with Rosie, while docked at Olivine City, received an urgent letter from some long lost uncle of his, who was very elderly and dying, that told him and his wife to immediately come to Hydrangea Island to Briarcliffe Castle.

The man was the Duke of Briarcliffe, Skyler's father's eldest brother. He told him what really happened to his parents and announced that Skyler, since he had no sons, was the Marquis of Ashbrooke, a village nearby, and that upon his death he would be the new Duke of Briarcliffe.

Skyler was shocked, not only by his grand title but by the fact that his aunt and uncle were not really his parents. Rosamunde did her best to comfort him at this time, and acted as surprised as he was, to ease the pain. He confronted his foster parents soon after and demanded why they did not tell him. They told him that they could not muster up enough courage to face him. He quickly cut them off that they would always be his mother and father, because they fulfilled all the requirements except the whole biological situation. A heartfelt moment was shared.

Freddie and Rosie got off well in marriage, their love was true and they were good friends also. They might have argued, but when you live with someone and love someone, you will not agree on everything. They adopted the surname of Briarcliffe, and mainly spent their time at Ashbrooke Park, a nice country home.

I will not mention how many children they had, for you will find out in another installment...

In conclusion, this is what happened to the characters in the 19th century. I had fun writing this, strictly for enjoyment purposes and not for reviews; I am a devout fan of 19th century literature. I hope that the fiction did not appear contrived in any way and I hope that you will like the next installment.

Signing off, etc.—The Sapphire Prince
