The Crown's Entrapment

Chapter 811 Epilogue (1)

Time flew by quickly, and a lot of things happened in Xenia's life throughout all of it. There were many ups and downs, but she was very grateful for everything that happened. After all, she wouldn't be where she was right now if not for the challenges she had faced in her life.

Currently, she was standing on the upstairs balcony where she had a proper view of their inner courtyard. Already, she could see the hustle and bustle happening where they were hosting their twins' first birthday party. She felt content looking at everyone there, and how happy they all were with the events.

Letting her gaze linger in the direction of her mother-in-law, Queen Mother Savannah, she watched her holding her daughter Dinara, and looked so happy talking to her new husband Elder Handi who held little Arden.

"Look at you grinning like a sly cat," Darius teased as he hugged her from behind. "Are you so proud of playing cupid for those two?"

"Xenia giggled. "Don't they look good together?"

"Indeed, they do. I'm just grateful that Mother finally accepted Elder Handi. I can't picture her with another man except for him," Darius praised while burying his face into the crook of her neck. "He's a great man who is always there for us. A true father figure who has been looking after us ever since we were young. You and Freya did a great job having those two finally tie the knot."

He then gave her a sniff and murmured into her neck, "You smell so good, my love. Are you already aware that I can smell another distinct scent from your body?"

Xenia pouted as she clicked her tongue and mumbled, "I can't believe that I can't even surprise you with things like this!"

"Well, I can't believe that we'll have another baby again," Darius chuckled as he hugged her tightly. "Oh, I'm so happy now, my love!"

Xenia turned around to face her husband. With curiosity in her mind, she asked, "Tell me, how many scents this time?"

"Oh, just one, my love," Darius replied with a wide smile. "Why? Were you expecting quadruplets like Bella and Amon?"

Xenia's eyes widened as she snorted, "I don't think I'll be able to carry four. Goodness, but then again, it would be nice to have another set of twins or triplets."

"Maybe we'll have triplets next?" Darius excitedly hummed.

Xenia chuckled as she turned to face the crowd below them. Beside her, Darius pulled her closer to him, and she instinctively hugged his waist while gently resting her head on his chest. Her eyes then landed on her close friends who were also there to celebrate with them. The couples were sitting at the table with the rest of their friends. Notably, Gilas and Clara, Gideon and Freya, and Calypso and Aurelia were all there to celebrate.

"It's so nice to see all of them having their own families and living a good life. And now, Jayra is also pregnant," Xenia hummed in satisfaction. "In a few months, her belly will become big too, and I can't wait to see and tease her for it."

While she would've wanted to do so now, Jayra and Bartos were currently having her vacation at Helion to spend more time there with her newfound sister and family. Still, they managed to confirm their attendance today, so she was sure that her friend would arrive shortly together with King Amon and their growing family.

"Shall we go down and announce the good news to those who are present now?" Darius asked.

Xenia nodded, and Darius smiled back before holding her hand as they promptly went down to join the others. There, they passed by Lena and Seth, who were also holding hands like them.

"Your Majesties," the two greeted them with a curt bow.

Seeing her friends, Xenia's smile widened as she teased, "You two look really good together."

Lena's face reddened while Seth had a wide smile as he said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Indeed," Darius chuckled. "Now, you two can go on your way."

The couple then promptly left, and Darius pulled on Xenia for them to continue walking. Still, Xenia couldn't help but smile at what she just saw. She was so happy that Lena had found the right man for her.

"She and Osman as a couple didn't happen despite her sacrifices for him, but it turned out that fate had someone else who was destined for her," Xenia happily spoke. "Look at how radiant she is because of the second love she is experiencing right now."

"She's not as radiant and glowing as you, however, my love," Darius grinned while kissing her knuckles. "In my eyes, you're simply unbeatable!"

Xenia chuckled at her husband's antics, and she was about to tease him for it when she caught Jayra arriving with Bartos, her sister Lera, and King Amon and his family.

"Look who's here!"

Darius was quick to greet Amon with his brotherly hug. Likewise, Xenia also greeted everyone including Bella.

"How are you, Your Highness?" Xenia asked Queen Mother Mona. Her complexion had truly improved now compared to the last time she saw her during Amon and Bella's wedding ceremony at Helion.

"I'm feeling better now, and I owe everything to your sister, Queen Mineah, and Lena," the Queen Mother said with teary eyes and a genuine smile. " I'm grateful to have a few more years added to my life to spend with my son and his family."

Xenia simply smiled back, and it widened even further upon seeing how her sister Mineah was being recognized not just for her capabilities, but also for her heart in helping others. Amon's mother had only a year to live back then, and during Amon's wedding, she became so sick that it almost looked like it was her end. It was only fortunate that Mineah was there and saw how Jayra was trying to heal the Queen Mother of Helion at that time.

Who would've thought that Mineah could see someone's life essence and that she saw the remnants of life essence stored inside Amon's body that came from a fairy? Even more, her sister thought of the possibility of transferring that stored life essence to Amon's mother. It was Lena's life essence while she was still Helena, the Fairy Queen however, they had to ask Lena first about it. Once again, they were lucky that Lena quickly agreed, and they promptly gave it to Amon's mother once the transfer was possible.

And, as always, Mineah succeeded in transferring those remnants of fairy life essence to Queen Mother Mona, giving her a few more years to live.

"I'm very much indebted to Lena and Queen Mineah," Amon hummed with a timid smile.

"And we'll try making it up by other means, my husband, so don't worry. We'll always have their back in everything," Bella butted in with a grin. She then turned to Xenia and said, "We're truly grateful to you and your family, Your Majesty. We are fortunate to have great friends!"

Xeniah smiled because it was the same for her and Darius. They were also fortunate to have great friends like them…
