Peace and Hapiness

The world that once raged in war now breathed peace. I, Araya , was no longer just the hero of the copy; I became king of Argarill , alongside my three queens: Margarida, Ayano , and Yukiko . Under our reign, the divisions between nobles and commoners were broken down. The palace was opened to the people, and the ancient separation of territories became nothing more than a bitter memory of a bygone past.

Margarida, the former princess who once tried to destroy me, was now my inseparable partner. Intelligent and firm, she wielded diplomacy with a skillful hand.

Our son Edrian , with golden hair like hers, was already training to inherit the throne.

Our daughter Selene, with curious eyes, dreamed of becoming a great scholar of ancient magic.

Ayano , intense and passionate, still carried with her an adventurous spirit. She was the freest of the three, but also the most protective of her children.

The eldest, Kageyama , had become a skilled swordsman.

The second, Rakushi , had inherited the gift with bows and arrows, training daily.

The youngest, Lyra, was bold and stubborn, but had a kindness that reminded me of when I was younger.

Yukiko , sweet and dedicated, kept the flame of compassion alive in the hearts of the people. Her church had become a space of free healing for all.

Our daughter Amaya , serene and wise, excelled in healing magic.

Her younger sister, Noelle , was more rebellious, but had natural gifts for negotiating and leading people.

Windy Stone, now 27, was the throne's trusted advisor. Intelligent and agile, she had become the link between people and royalty. She married Darius , a warrior of noble stature, and together they had a son named Erik, who was already running through the castle corridors.

Clementine and Daphnmon visited frequently. Clementine , ever wise, shared ancient teachings with our children. Daphnmon , majestic and imposing, surprised the children by interacting with her, who saw her more as an exotic aunt than the legendary demon queen.

That day, everyone was gathered in the castle's grand garden. Margarida  was arguing with Ayano about how to teach Edrian and Kageyama discipline without stifling their freedom. Yukiko was giggling softly, while Noelle and Selene were chasing Windy 's son, Erik .

I watched Clementine tell old stories to Amaya and Lyra, while Daphnmon , in his human form, left Rakushi and other young people astonished with the imposing presence of his presence.

Windy , as always, was attentive to everything, maintaining the balance of the court and showing that even a commoner could be at the heart of the kingdom's politics.

I sat on the stone bench in the center of the garden. Around me were my queens, my sons, my daughters, and the allies who had become family. Laughter filled the air, mingling with the gentle breeze that blew over Argarill .

I smiled. And with a calm but truthful voice, I said:

—This world has taught me many things… I've fought enemies, faced betrayal, broken chains, and almost lost everything. But in the end, I learned the greatest lesson of all: I learned to be happy.

The sun set slowly, painting the sky gold and purple, as if the world itself recognized that the cycle of pain had finally ended.
