"Magnu--"
"It's okay. If you don't feel the same way. I understand." Magnus said with a sad smile on his face.
"No! I-it's not like that. I-I.. I like you too." I said and looked at him. His face became surprised and enlightened. He held my hand and kissed it. I felt relieved to say what I really feel.
He suddenly wrapped his arms around me and I felt the comfort and safeness in it. I hugged him back. I feel like my mind is overflowing with happiness. I am hoping that this would last for long. I really do.
I heard someone screamed and saw Breath behind me. She clapped her hands and ran towards us. I let go of Magnus arm's and faced Breath.
"Finally your majesty!" she said and hugged me. "When's the wedding? How many kids will you have? I am really excited!" she said, both I and Magnus laughed.
"Relax Breath, you are way much more excited than the both of us." I said and Breath giggled. I felt Magnus' hand held mine again.
"The heart has spoken and the love began. I will make sure to love Chrysanthemum and take care of her. For the wedding, that'll be decided by the two of us so are the kids." Magnus said and looked at me with excitement.
We both went to Anahaw and Paula and told them about our relationship. They were very happy about it and that's when we talked and Magnus learned about the resignation of my brother and me as the queen. Magnus was happy about it and said that he'll support me all the way. Breath was delighted by it and so are Esmeraldo and Guidon. It was a dream come true that I've got my brother, Paula, my friends and especially my lover by my side to support me.
Esmeraldo and Guidon seemed to be more open about their relationship now and finally, they got the courage to tell Guidon's parents and Paula.
Anahaw and Paula decided to marry each other the day after the effectivity of his resignation and that will be a double celebration because the day before it will be my coronation day.
Oh and Louie, the weird doctor, or so I mean the magic doctor finally got to be believed by many of the villagers after Anahaw regained his health.
CORONATION DAY
Breath waked up me up so early and gave me the most gorgeous gown I've ever seen in my life. It's dazzling with our kingdom's color and pride.
I took a bath and ate my breakfast then looked at the gown.
"Finally." I muttered to myself. I called Breath for help and she was very happy.
"It suits you very well, your majesty... I mean .. Queen Chrysanthemum." she said and giggled. I smiled back and took a deep breath before stepping out of my room.
We walked to the behind the door of the terrace and saw the townspeople. I looked at their expressions and they seemed surprised and happy. Magnus held my hand and smiled then said "We'll be right beside you." I looked at my brother and Paula both smiling at me same as Esmeraldo and Guidon. I again, took a deep breath and they opened the door.
The replacement of the crown happened and I gave a hopeful and straight from my heart speech. They all cheered and shouted "Queen" before my name.
"All hail Queen Chrysanthemum!"
"Woohh!"
ANAHAW AND PAULA'S WEDDING DAY
"I do." They both said and kissed. We cheered and the bells rang loudly. The doves flew and the petals of the flowers were thrown everywhere.
During the night, there came a feast. We all ate and drank a lot. I felt a bit drunk so I went to the terrace, where my coronation happened. I felt so happy inside, it feels surreal. The night breeze touched my skin and I sipped the last liquid inside my cup.
"Hi gorgeous." I looked behind me and saw Magnus. He looks so dazzling in the night view. His eyes sparkled and his smile looked lovely.
"Magnus." I said and smiled back then he wrapped his arms around me from behind.
"You're drunk already?" he asked and I glanced at him. I smirked and we both laughed.
"I'm not a hard drinker you know." I replied and he nodded.
"Chrysanthemum, the lovely queen of this lovely kingdom. You have taught me to be stronger than I ever be and take more risks. You are the love of my life forever. I swear to take care of you and support you. To be there every time you need me beside you." he said as he slowly unwrapped his arms around me and I faced him then he kneeled down.
"Will you marry me?" he asked and I was very surprised. My heart raced so fast and I nodded.
"Yes!" I said and he slipped the ring on my finger. We both hugged each other again.
Wow. This feels so good. I hope that every girl in the universe feels the same way that I do tonight. That they're appreciated, supported and special. Not just girls to be exact but also all the people in the universe. May everyone feel free and genuine inside their hearts. Do you feel that too?
