EPILOGUE
Are you coming home?
Dante
Ahh, define home
Cheshire Shore
Dante
Ahh, that’s going to be a bit difficult
Define difficult
Dante
It seems I am set to become king consort to Queen Anastasia of Kadelburg
…WTF?
Dante
WTF indeed, brother
I show Flo the message from my brother and she just shrugs. “As they say, once they go Venuccio, they don’t go back. How can Queen Anastasia of Kadelburg be any different.”
“I sent him to get a port through parliament,” I repeat.
“And it seems he has not only achieved that, but also found himself a wife. And a queen no less.” She knocks my shoulders.
“I’m thinking double wedding.”
I veto it. The only person who will be the center of attention on our wedding day is my wife.
“I don’t even know the first thing about royal court etiquette.” I shake my head, staring at my computer.
“I always knew you Venuccios were high achievers, but I think Dante takes the prize here.”
“Hate to break it to you, lollipop, but I’ve won the prize.” I wrap my arm around her waist, pulling her closer to me. I whisper in her ear, “And I get to hold her and wake up to her and tell her I love her every single day.”
I can’t wait to start eternity with her, because I know it will never be enough.
The End.
