Here it is, the epilogue! This is the end, it's been fun.
Chapter 13 - Epilogue
The church bells rang throughout the whole kingdom. All the townspeople came to see the wedding of the century. Prince Alfred and Prince Arthur were finally married. Their kingdoms were united and they would soon be moving into their own castle. The castle of Swan Lake, a wedding gift from its former owner Lord Francis Bonnefoy. Of course it would need a little fixing up, but it would be beautiful again once it was finished.
The newly wed couple came out of the church hand in hand, both wearing white and the crowns of a king and queen. As they descended the stairs, Feliks and Toris followed behind them lifting Alfred's cape and Arthur's veil off the ground. (Alfred insisted Arthur wore a veil even though he refused to wear a dress.) They decided to take Toris in as a servant, knowing that he was sorry and wouldn't have had anything to do with Ivan's plan if his life wasn't at risk. As they followed the couple, Toris glanced to his right at the Polish boy next to him. With a blush dusting his cheeks, he leaned over and kissed Feliks' cheek. Said boy's face turned red.
On the sidelines, Lovino stood by Roderich with his arms crossed and a smug expression. "Looks like you owe me an apology for calling me a coward all these years. If it weren't for me, the Great Animal would still be alive."
Roderich wasn't about to stand there and listen to the Italian's boasting. The musician looked over Lovino's shoulder and put on a fearful expression. "Th-the Great Animal..." he stuttered out, pointing behind Lovino with a shaking finger. "It's alive!" Lovino let out a less than manly shriek before looking behind himself, only to see Roderich was pointing at Elizaveta. "What's alive?" she questioned. Roderich just smiled and took the queen's hand, leading her off to join the festivities. Lovino was left alone to try to catch his breath and calm his heartbeat. It didn't help when a certain Spaniard snuck up behind him and threw an arm around his shoulders. The Italian yelped again and elbowed whoever was behind him. Antonio bent over holding his stomach and groaning in pain. He looked up with one eye open, cracking a smile. "Heh...sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"I wasn't scared, idiota!" Lovino blushed.
"You look like a cute tomato~"
"CHIGI!"
While the kingdom was celebrating, Gilbert was with his new 'soldiers'. He had been appointed head of security by Alfred. "Alright maggots," he always wanted to be a drill sergeant, "I know you would much rather be having a good time, partying and drinking. I know I would. But then who would be on duty to protect the new king and..." The albino had to stifle a laugh. "...queen?" It was then he saw a cute and slightly familiar little Italian boy. Though this one was different from the one he had seen before. This one was smiling. "Never mind boys, you're dismissed!" And Gilbert was gone.
Later that night at the ball being held in Elizaveta's castle, Francis approached Arthur who since after the marriage didn't have a certain someone right by his side. "Congratulations, Arthur."
"Thank you, Francis. Now if I remember right, I owe you a kiss."
"Oh really?~ Honestly, I had forgotten all about it."
"I wouldn't bet on that." Arthur leaned over and kissed the Frenchman on the cheek. "Hmm...it didn't work."
"What?"
"My kiss didn't work. You're still a frog."
Before Francis could voice how insulted he was, Arthur's new husband came over and wrapped an arm around his queen's waist. "Did I just see you kissing another man?"
"According to Arthur here, I'm just a frog."
Alfred laughed at that. "Then I guess there's no harm done. If you'll excuse us, Francis."
Alfred led Arthur out to the garden and onto a small bridge over the pond. The moon was full and shining down on them. Arthur couldn't help but think about how beautiful it was reflected in Alfred's blue eyes. "Alfred...will you love me until the day I die?"
"No." Before Arthur could say anything, Alfred continued. "I'll love you much longer than that. Much much longer." To seal the promise they shared a passionate kiss wrapped up in each other's arms.
The end! Thank you all so much for reading this, especially those of you who have stuck with me since the beginning. Thank you for all the support and reviews.
I do plan on writing the sequel to this, but I have no idea when I'm going to start on that since I wanna take a break from the Swan Princess thing and I have some other stuff I've been wanting to write first. Maybe 50 First Dates, maybe Mamma Mia, maybe Wizard of Oz, I dunno. There are also a couple oneshots I wanna write. But I will write the sequel at some point, it was the whole reason I wrote this one in the first place.
See you again!
