Epilogue

A Journey of True Love Under a Cherry Tree


Three years have passed since the events of the capital and things begin to slowly return to normal. Before returning back to their normal lives, Silva and her friends said their final goodbyes and promised to keep in touch.

Silva at one point returns to the capital to check up on her friend who is now King Dina of the Guild League, after arresting the Guild King Julian placed. Order to the guilds returned back to normal and everything is at peace. Before Silva returns home, Guild King Dina offers her the position of Deputy King, but Silva does not accept it. Guild King Dina, understands Silva’s decision, but promises to keep the position open in case she changes her mind. A few days later, Silva says goodbye to her dear friend, and takes her daughters home with Rajah.

When Silva returned to Earthnia, she immediately got to work. It seems all those months she left, nothing has changed. It was a giant mess and her family has not done anything to fix the kingdom. As punishment, she spoke to the council to remove her mother and father of their titles to make her queen to restore order which they agreed. She spared her brothers and kept them as princes that will do her bidding for her.

Having her daughters back with her, she crowns Greer and Grace as princesses and the next rulers of the kingdom. The girls did not care about being princesses because they finally got to be with their mother again. Lastly, for a final gift to the kingdom, Silva returns a small portion of magic to the people she thinks deserve to have it back.

Now the next task she has to face is the kingdom of Falara. Silva visits the kingdom to speak to their rulers to negotiate peace. It was a hard task to deal with since they are a bunch of hotheads with huge egos. It took two days for her to come up with a peace treaty to end this feud between the kingdoms. As an act of good measure, Silva granted magic to them yet again only if they live up to the terms of the treaty after three years.They agreed and signed the contract. Falara and Earthnia are finally at peace and the war is officially over.

A year later, on the day of her birthday, Silva goes to Cherry Apple Forest to the same spot where she first met Terrance hoping he will be there. She has been doing it ever since she got back.

“Your Majesty, shouldn’t you be attending your birthday celebration or spending time with your daughters?” Rajah asks to sit next to her.

“Yes, but no one is going to miss me for long. Besides, you know why I am here and I am not leaving until I see him again,” Silva replies a bit annoyed.

“Very well, I will stay with you,” Rajah agrees.

“Thank you. You are always so loyal. I love you,” Silva says, kissing his head.

“Ok, but have you thought about Guild King’s Dina’s offer yet even further?” Rajah asks to change the subject.

“Yes, I thought about it and I think I will take her offer. I will send her my answer tomorrow. At least it will distract me from thinking about Terrance,” Silva says about crying.

“Silva, please do not cry. I am sure one day he will come back and be with you,” Rajah says, trying to cheer her up.

“I know, it's been months and we have been waiting here ever since we got back, but…” Silva starts by breaking down.

“Hello, beautiful,” a voice whispers.

Silva, hearing a voice, looks up and is surprised to see Terrance standing in front of her.

“Terrance, is that really you? How are you here? I have missed you so much.”

“I believe the goddess thought of granting a thank you gift to you, so they brought me back here to be with you. I have missed you so much.”

“Terrance, I love you,” Silva says as she runs into his arms with so much joy.

The two love birds kissed as they never kissed before, hoping this moment lasts forever.

The love Terrance and Silva shared proved that true love never dies and it will always find each other under the cherry tree.
