A/N: Here it is! The last installment. Thanks for all the kind reviews.
The Epilogue
One week after Alanna killed Uncle Bumpo...er, Duke Roger, the Royal Guard discovered the house he had been plotting in. Papers revealed that he was planning to marry a Tortallan close to Alanna, (it turned out to be Kel), procreate, and take over the realm with the help of his children.
Duke Roger had cast a very complex piece of magic on everyone to keep them under his control. Though many mages were consulted, no one knew why Alanna had not been affected. Numair Salamin theorized that her immunity to Roger's magic had something to do with the fact that she had killed him so many times.
Either way, they burned the papers and Roger's body, just to be really safe. The search for the mage who brought him back from the dead continued. However, Alanna decided not to worry about such things. Everyone would just have to be more careful next time.
After everyone had been given a while to recuperate, the household returned to normal. That is, as normal as it can be with babies who act like birds, two spies, a crow man, and a lady knight. Alanna didn't care, though. She had actually grown to like it. But not TOO much.
