THIS CHAPTER IS DEDICATED TO THE LOVELY READERS.
IT WOULD CREATE AN INCITE INTO THE LIVES OF THE CHARACTERS AFTER THE INCIDENT IN 1504.
QUESTION: DID HARVEY AND ALVIN EVER GET MARRIED?
For a nobleman, it was rather obligatory to get married to continue the bloodline. Harvey was finally able to settle down a decade after the incident occurred. He married a noble lady of the court. Whispers did circulate regarding his prior feelings for the late Princess Amber as the reason he refused marriage for years, yet this remained a delicate subject.
Alvin, on the other hand, did not. Marriage has never been important to him, and all he used to care about was protecting Prince Harold. It wasn't until Susan passed that he realized he felt differently towards her than was normal. Perhaps, if she had lived a little longer, he would have realized that. All he had now was a portrait of her from Paulina, which he carried with him all through his lifetime and was also buried with him.
QUESTION: WHAT ABOUT LANCE?
He did get married. Although Susan's death had really hit him far more than he could imagine. Not only Susan but seeing how Princess Amber also died, he had vowed not to fall in love with any woman or get married since he couldn't bear the pain of losing his loved one. But after a few years passed, he met a weird thief who had run into his carriage to hide when she was being chased by some men she had stolen from. He eventually let her hide there out of pity and even talked to her against such an act. Seeing her cry in remorse, he felt proud of himself for changing her life until she left and he realized she had stolen his gold pouch. The fact that she had made a fool out of him was something he could not accept, and he spent weeks hunting after her. Well, that was how he met his future wifey. His parents and even the court had been against it. But Lance was Lance.
QUESTION: WHAT HAPPENED TO BENEDICTA?
For years, she tried to elevate her status to queen. Seeing how Amber was gone, she thought it was a good chance to take over and be the one to mend Harold's broken heart. She kept trying for years, discarding her parents' efforts to marry her off since she was already approaching 25 and no one would be willing to marry an old spinster.
She tried to get closer to TAM, but TAM, even at 6, was a nasty brat who had her banned from visiting the palace.
She had no choice but to finally get married at 27 to a widower since all the younger noblemen men were taken or didn't want her because she was either too old or too bratty.
QUESTION: WHAT HAPPENED TO TYRA?
Tyra was never seen again after that incident. No one knew how long she lived, when she died, or whether or not she regretted all she did. She was simply cut off from the world until her shrivelled bones were found in the present day.
QUESTION: WHAT HAPPENED TO KING CEDRIC?
According to what Amber had said before her soul left, Cedric was taken back to his kingdom with his family, except for his wife, whose body had rotted on the grounds of the Moon Kingdom. The one who had been in charge of it was Harvey. When there was no single good act by Cedric that could save him from facing public execution, he was subjected to one. It was even crazier because his subjects all rejoiced at his demise, believing this was retribution for what he had done to their beloved queen Anne. Unfortunately, the kingdom was plunged into anarchy after his death, with no one willing to let someone of Cedric's blood rule them again, especially as Cedric's father and grandfather had been like that too. And that was how a new reign started with another bloodline, who was a tyrant even worse than Cedric. This was until TAM cleared up the mess. She was a descendant of the throne after all.
QUESTION: WHAT HAPPENED TO KING ELI?
Eli, burdened by personal grief, reluctantly embraced leadership after Harold's tragedy, understanding the kingdom's fate rested on his shoulders. He persevered for several years, his love for his crazy granddaughter ever so obvious. He guided the kingdom through turbulent times until his health declined when TAM was 6, marking the end of an era.
His greatest joy was Harold and TAM, who refused to come out for 2 months after his passing, grieving.
QUESTION: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE THRONE AFTER THAT?
Trusted noblemen shouldered the kingdom's responsibilities during TAM's upbringing, nurturing her multifaceted talents despite her fiery temperament. The lack of repercussions for her actions, however, led to an untouchable aura. At just 15, TAM's unique blend of witchcraft and Alpha heritage paved the way for her ascension to the throne, marking a new era of rule characterized by both capability and unpredictability.
QUESTION: WHAT WAS TAM LIKE?
Physically, TAM was the epitome of beauty. Most of her features were from her father, except for her hair colour. She was taller than the average woman and even towered over some men. She mainly dressed in men's clothing, courtesy of Lance, who owned several businesses, one of which was tailoring clothes in men's fashion specially for women. But whenever there was a special occasion in the palace, he never missed sending her dresses with a reminder that she was a princess, and Tam always hated it. Not only because of how heavy and complicated the clothes were, but because of how he always sent her dresses that always sparkled with gold. She didn't want to talk about the extravagant jewellery he always added to them.
As for her abilities: From the moment TAM was born, magic radiated all around her, breaking every kind of curse on her kind without even trying. They all felt the impact as soon as she was born. Her birth brought freedom to both werewolves and witches.
It would have been difficult for any of them to handle her if they didn't already have a witch in the palace who had been imprisoned the entire time while also getting treated for her madness from Beta's nightmare. She seemed to have been better when the first Blood Moon happened, and when TAM was born, it was felt everywhere that it even had her madness cured, surrendering it to an even greater force.
Harold did not care about getting revenge for the curse she had placed on him. All he wanted was for someone with experience to guide his daughter and for more people like her to be welcomed into the Moon Kingdom.
TAM could read minds, get into people's heads, and sometimes mind control also works, but it took a great deal of her powers.
She inherited everything that belonged to her mother. Whether it was her books, her daggers, Hellion, or the men's clothing she usually wore outside the palace.
Her father hadn't kept anything from her. Letting her know all about her mother and the dynamics that surrounded her.
When TAM was younger, she carelessly read her father's thoughts a couple of times, but as she grew older, she was always careful and tried not to pry into his privacy, even by mistake. He was always thinking about the same thing. And his present look was nothing compared to the older portraits of him or whenever she glimpsed into his past.
His hair was now overgrown, as were his beards and all facial and body hairs. His eyes were always soulless, too. However, they lit up whenever he saw her. Although she would have loved it if they were always lit.
But know this: TAM was surrounded by a loving support network, including her father, grandfather, a maternal figure, Paulina, uncle Alvin, Harvey, Lance, Williams, her grand uncle and aunt Evan and Victoria, and even a witch nanny. Alexander, 4 years her junior and admirer, eventually became her husband and partner in governance, assisting in temper management and ruling by her side. As she embarked on her reign, TAM's complex nature, inherited powers, and influential relationships shaped her journey as the ruler of the Moon Kingdom.
