A/N: So this is the epilogue/teaser for my next story, Love Hurts. Real original, right? Anyway, thanks to all my readers and 4-eyedDragon. Please enjoy this ending to a, in my opinion, good story and read my next installment in the Royal Love series, Love Hurts, when it is posted. Thanks!

*************************************************************

Alanna, Jon, Maude, Raoul, Gary, and Alianne returned home to a joyous welcome. Alianne was born on May 8 and her birth was celebrated a week after her return. June 8, Alanna and Jon were wed in the palace gardens. On July 1 Roald died in his sleep, leaving the world to join Lianne. Jon and Alanna were the first royal couple to be crowned King and Queen of Tortall side-by-side.

Three years later, Alianne had grown into a beautiful and intelligent child. She had pale skin, which set off her black hair and violet eyes. Myles his granddaughter an advanced education while her father managed the kingdom and her mother taught the pages and squires fencing. When all their work was done, Myles, Jon, Alanna, and Alianne, gathered together and ate their evening meal. Every night after the meal, Alanna, Jon, and Alianne walked in the palace gardens. When they returned to their chambers, Alanna and Jon would play with Alianne in her nursery until it was her bedtime. Then they both tucked her in and said goodnight.

Sounds perfect right? Just you wait!
