When The Gold Is Gone ✔ ~ trixya

Epilogue

A young girl ran out of her carriage and into the arms of Queen Beatrice of Midrosen. The child was no more than 9 years of age, but spoke eloquently and behaved well, her manners befitting a true princess. Of course, that was also what she would soon become.

The girl was of noble blood, the daughter of one of Trixie's distant cousins, but both her parents had tragically died, and so the girl had lived in a convent for a couple years. Trixie and Katya had not considered the question of having children at first, simply thinking that someone further out in the bloodline would inherit the throne once they passed away, but all that had changed once they heard of the girl's tragic fate. 

"Alice!" Trixie exclaimed happily as she lifted the girl up and spun her around in the air before pulling her in for a hug. "Oh, how you have grown since I last saw you."

"I know, I grew a whole inch!" Alice replied happily.

"So, what do you think?" Trixie asked as she pulled away from their embrace and gestured towards the Resvyan castle behind her.

"It is larger than I expected, even bigger than the one in Midrosen." The girl replied.

They were to all move in together, but they had decided to spend some time in Resvya first before going back to Midrosen. Spending their summers in Resvya had been their tradition after all, and Trixie and Katya could not quite seem to break with it. It was also a nice chance to see the Kingdom and meet it's people, even if they did not rule it yet. 

"Is that our darling girl I see?" Katya said as she walked out into the courtyard. It only took seconds before Alice was in her arms, the girl having already settled into the idea that the two queens were to be her new mothers. "I have missed you so much."

"Well, now I shall never be away. You shall be quite bored of me." Alice replied with a wide smile and a cute giggle.

"Never." Katya responded, kissing the girl on the head.

"Well that is good for I will never grow bored of you." The child told both her mothers, reaching out a hand for Trixie to take, which the woman immediately did. "I am so grateful that I shall have you two as my mothers, and of course that I am becoming a princess, it is a great honor."

"We are so grateful that we will get to call ourselves your mothers, Alice. Truly, we are. I hope you will be very happy with us, and that you will always be certain that you are Alice first and a princess second. I do not want you to feel that you ever have to be anyone but yourself, okay?" Trixie said.

"Alice first, princess second, I will remember that." Alice promised.

"Good." Trixie replied with a warm smile.

"Being yourself, whatever that means to you, that is the most important thing." Katya said.

Their little family was the source of their happiness. Trixie and Katya had already been endlessly happy just as the two of them, but raising Alice brought a whole new joy and adventure. She became the light of their lives, and as they raised her they did their best not to repeat the mistakes of their own parents. It seemed Katya's parents thought the same way as they put their heart and soul into supporting Alice to the best of their ability as her grandparents. The girl grew into a beautiful and kindhearted princess who was as loved by the people as her mothers were.

Trixie and Katya's reign was long and their love for each other eternal. The history books remembered it as the greatest love story amongst Resvyan and Midrosen Royals, so great in fact that it was often compared to a fairy tale. And so, it seems only fitting for me to tell you that Trixie and Katya indeed did live happily ever after. 

A/N: And so the fairy tale ends. Thank you so much for supporting this book and following this story! I've got a new trixya story called "Smile For The Camera" coming out soon so please consider checking that out. I've also got an on-going story called "The Top Of The Mountain" and a ton of other finished stories. 
Thank you again for reading this story and for all the lovely comments <3
