Bonus: King Alaric and Queen Beatrice's Message

And that is the story of Beatrice and me. It's not the end of our story because we need to face another challenge, and it's only the beginning. My life turns out to be what I want it to be. I thank Beatrice for that. If I didn't meet her and force her to marry me, I can see myself still in darkness. Still the rude, arrogant, and childish me. Beatrice brings meaning to my life. I hate her at first, but I learned to love her. We re-marry because it was a forced marriage at first. We want it to be real and to prove that our feelings are mutual and real. We have the twins now, and we want to focus on them. Having a family is one of the best things that happened to me.

Thank you for telling our story, Ms. Author. It means a lot to us. Beatrice and I wanted our story to be read by everyone. We will take care of Utopia because we want it to be a prosperous place. Thank you.

-King Alaric

Just like what Alaric said, it’s not the end of our journey because it’s only the beginning. I am satisfied with my life with Alaric and the twins by my side. Thank you, Alaric, for loving me. I admit that I hate you at first because you are rude and arrogant to me, but I learned to love you. I remember I told myself that I saw you as my little brother because I wanted one, but you don't want me to be your big sister. I always wanted to marry a king that is matured, tall, and older than me, but when I saw you, I was shocked because it's not what I was expecting. It's not a fairy-tale love story for us because we started hating each other, and all the fairy-tale stories that I read started falling in love at first sight. Our fairy-tale love story has a twist. Our feelings are real now, and it's not forced anymore. No more pretending. I will always be by your side Alaric. You are not alone anymore. You have me and the twins now. Staying by your side is the best choice that I made. Thank you, Alaric, for everything.

Thank you also, Ms. Author, for telling our story. Alaric and I are happy that you wrote our story. Right now, we want Utopia to prosper. That is our main goal. And we are also focusing on taking care of the twins because they are the next in line to take the throne. Thank you. I hope you like our story.
