Chapter 11: EPILOGUE: The happy ending

Several years have passed, and I still prefer to be a normal citizen. My grandfather passed the throne to me, and I fulfill my duty as a Queen, but I still prefer to reside in a peaceful and simple place.

Years have gone by, and Prince and I are now married with four children. Our eldest takes the role of leading the palace, and soon I will pass on the throne to him. I am certain that he will value and cherish being a King.

Our eldest is Julius, followed by Jeremiah, Jasmine, and our youngest, James.

From our terrace, I can see the sunrise. As I enjoy a cup of hot coffee, Prince stands beside me and kisses me on the lips.

"Morning love."

"Morning!"

We greet each other happily.

We looked at the ocean together from the terrace. Prince holds my hand, so I turn to look at him.

Our eyes met. He smiles at me, and I return the gesture.

"I love you," he says affectionately.

And I know my husband well, so I approach him and sit on his lap. He loves it when we're in this position.

"You know me," he says happily.

"Of course! Besides being shy, you're also clingy," I teased him.

"I'm only like this with you, my love. It's just like you have the power to make me feel like this."

"Is it my fault?"

"Yes, it's your fault that I love you so much."

I smile broadly.

"You! You haven't changed at all. Maybe that's why I fell in love with you—because of those things you used to do. YOU'RE SO CORNY."

"Wahoo! You're just getting all giddy," he says.

"No. I'm not," I deny, though it's obvious.

"You're pretending. I can see it in your eyes. They sparkled like the stars. Who wouldn't be thrilled by Prince Yuahn Lee? Of course! No one else but my incredibly beautiful wife."

"You're so shameless. Maybe it's you who's getting all giddy because every time I smile and flirt with you, you blush." I teased him again.

He suddenly blushes, so I poke him even more.

"Oh, look at you! You're blushing again, getting all giddy." I playfully point at his face.

"N-no way! It's just my natural complexion."

"You seems like a gay,"

"Love, I wouldn't impregnate you and marry you if I were gay. Do you want us to have another child?" he jokingly asks with a smile.

I playfully tug at him, but I don't put much strength into it.

"Shut up, Prince Yuahn Lee!"

"Yieee! That means you agreed!" he pokes the side of my waist and I tickle.

"Prince, Stop it!"

"Just agree for now," he used his charm.

"Prince, it's too early in the morning!"

"Then at night!"

"You have no limits, do you? Just whatever you want."

"Of course, our lineage will be huge. My lineage is already beautiful and plus yours lineage. So, we should have a dozen children."

"Stop it, Prince."

"No! I would never stop, if you do not agree with me."

I took a deep breath. So, I agreed and gave up.

And because I agreed, his mood became extremely pleasant. Sometimes he would smile for no reason, as if he were getting all giddy. I just shake my head at my husband.

As the years passed, I loved him more and more. He always made me feel how important I am to him and how much he loves me, just like our children.

I couldn't help but smile as he cleaned the entire house, cooked, and did the laundry himself.

We didn't hire any household or maid because we preferred a simple way of life. We left everything in the palace, but when we visited, we resumed our roles as leaders.

I am happy that I met Prince, and I have no regrets about loving someone like him.

I watched him. He danced with our James until he fell asleep, and then he gently placed our child in the crib before approaching me.

"Julius took his siblings to the palace, so it's just the two of us in the entire house," he explained. "Love? I feel a bit sore all over," he said with a grimace.

I felt sorry for him because he did everything himself while I just watched him, and he didn't want me to help. He probably wanted to impress me so that I wouldn't take back my agreement.

I gently massaged him to help alleviate his discomfort until he fell asleep. I stroked his hair while he leaned against my thigh.

He slept peacefully, worn out from exhaustion. The night came, and that's when we fulfilled his desire.

He showered me with kisses all over my face before smiling at me. I can truly say that Prince loves me deeply. Every passing day, he never fails to show me how much he loves me and how much he values us. He loves our children genuinely, and I also feel the same way about them.

I don't need anything else because I have them. I am happy because Prince loves me, and I am happy because he became my husband.

He never let me down.

He never abandoned me.

He never hurt me; instead, he cherished me.

I can only see Prince Yuahn Lee as my one and only husband.

If it were possible, I would want it to be forever. If there's a reincarnation, I would want Prince to be my partner again. And I want to love him again.

I will never get tired of loving Prince because he never cheated on me, no matter how beautiful, sexy, intelligent, or fair-skinned they may be. He always preferred to look at me, which is probably why he always gets giddy around me.

"My wife smells so good; she's clearly prepared," he teased.

"Of course, because you did the housework. You have a reward, and the reward is . . . me!"

In a burst of joy, he triumphantly threw a punch into the air.

"Yes!"

"You look so happy, huh?"

"Of course! Love, what do you think? I'll clean the house every day so that I always have a reward and you are my reward! What do you think wifey?"

"You're such a naughty boy!"

"Yes I am, especially when you are the reward!"

I shook my head at his antics.

"I love you, wifey."

"I love you, too."

"Let's go! Our child is asleep. Let's go on a trip! I'm so excited! Where do you want to go first, using our magical bed?"

I punched him on the arm while laughing as I reluctantly followed him up to the bedroom. Because he was supposed to be excited about our trip. He lifted me, that's why I screamed in surprise before he quickly entered the room and he locked the door.
