A few hours after her talk with Josh, Bella's mind is still reeling. Between what Josh told her and the letter Henry left for her, there's a lot of decisions she needs to make.

She sits by the window and looks out onto the lake, a small figure standing near it and Bella knows exactly who that is, making her smile. There's a knock on her door and Bella turns to see who is coming to visit.

-"How are you?" - Bella signals at Amara and Ethan to sit across from her, a smile on all their faces, as they walk closer to her.

-"We should be the ones asking you." - Amara smiles softly.

-"Still sore and my wound is still closing but, hey, at least I'm still alive so I can't really complain. How have you been?"

-"Good. Everyone here as been kind to us and even helped us go back home after the battle, to secure the throne and make sure that no one tried to stage a coup. Once that was handled, we came back in the hope we could see you."

-"I'm happy you're both okay."

-"I will forever be grateful to you and Josh for protecting Ethan."

-"You don't need to thank us. Ethan is my brother and I will always protect him, no matter what." - Bella sees the boy stand up and walk over to her, hugging her, mindful of her injury.

-"Thank you for helping me and my mother."

-"We're blood, Ethan, and blood protects blood. Not matter what the future brings, I'll always be there for you, one way or another." - She smiles softly at him.

-"I actually have a question for you." - Amara wipes a tear, as her son sits back next to her.

-"Ask away."

-"Was it your idea?"

-"What was?"

-"The alliance. Was it your idea?"

-"What alliance?"

-"King Cavill approached me and Ethan with an offer to have an alliance between both Kingdoms, something he would've never offered your father, but he was offering it to Ethan because he believed Ethan would be a better King than Logan ever was."

-"I had no idea. Does Josh know about this?"

-"He knows. He offered the same thing. We have accepted, since we want to make sure that Ethan's reign is different from Logan's."

-"I'm happy to hear that."

-"We didn't want to see you just so we could thank you and ask you about the alliances."

-"Oh?" - Bella looks between Amara and Ethan.

-"Go ahead." - Amara nods at Ethan.

-"I have written a Royal Decree declaring that, if you want, you'll be given your title back, making you a Princess again, and Alexis as well."

-"I will be honored to be a Princess in your Court. However, I will need to discuss this with Josh before I can accept."

-"I already have. King Josh and I, with the help of my mother, decided that you and Alexis will receive the title, but will still remain in Tidaholm as an envoy, or in any other Kingdom you wish to live in."

-"Is that what the two of you decided?" - She smirks at her brother.

-"Ethan will only make the decree public if you agree to it."

-"I will be honored and I know Alexis will be as well."

-"I will make it official once we return to Ethil."

Bella smiles at her little brother, thinking that maybe now her old Kingdom might actually stand a chance at becoming a happier place to live.
