Epilogue

We were married a month later. I was wearing a simple white gown because I couldn't stand the others that Mother brought.

Count V was taken to prison; his trial would decide his fate. He would likely be beheaded, as that was the punishment for treason.

John became horse trainer, the job he always wanted, as well as a prince. I often helped him breaking young horses. John continued to teach me swordplay. Although I could have a professional teacher, I insisted that John taught me. I swore that if we were to have kids, I would let them learn whatever they wanted, it wouldn't matter whether it was proper or not.

So with joy, sadness, and other feelings, we lived normally ever after.

*sniff* it's over!!! thank you all for taking the time to read and review my story!!! this is the longest story that i've ever completed, i have some stories left unfinished. thank you for nagging me to continue writing and thank you for putting up with me and my cliffs and bad grammar at the beginning.

p.s. i started on a sequel to my other finished story "white as snow? not really!". it's called "to tame a prince".

i dunno if i'll write another EE fic 'cause i haven't got any ideas yet.
