As Anastacius was taken away, both brothers made a slight eye contact before leaving. Claude placed his hand on Angelina's shoulder and gave a small smile to his children. It was over, they felt ... nothing.

They felt empty. Should've they be happy? It didn't seem like the end to them that's for sure. Just because they defeated ONE bad guy doesn't mean they'll get their happily ever after. No.

A trial was held for Anastacius's crimes. The trio were there. All of them throwing worried glances at Jeanette who was oddly quiet. Arthur could tell she was bottling up her feelings and soon enough they'll break free. It was only for a matter of time before the bottle breaks.

And it did.

Jeanette begged on her knees for forgiveness of her father, tears running down her face as she didn't budge from the floor when Arthur and Athanasia held her. Angelina glanced at her father. He asked if they wanted Anastacius to be saved.

They said yes. However, Arthur had to be sure of something first.

Anastacius stared at her window of his prison, moon light beaming from it and giving light. Might be the last time he'd see it. A shadowy figure appeared before the prison door, a cape and hoodie covering him.

"An assassination attempt before my execution? How ironic." Anastacius said in irony.

"Now why would I waste my time on that?" Arthur scoffed, taking off his hoodie. Anastacius eyed him up and down before saying.

"Well it it isn't my one and only nephew. Come here to gloat?"

"I would but I'd upset Jeanette so no."

Anastacius narrowed his eyes. "Then why are you here?"

"To ask a question."

"Have nothing better to do so ask me, dear nephew."

Arthur walked closer.

"If you had a chance. To live peacefully outside of the castle and away form the nobles. With Jeanette. Would you take it?"

"... define 'peacefully'."

"No nobles, no black magic, no possession, no mind control. Just a mansion to raise your daughter that you never had the chance to know."

Anastacius stared at him before looking up back to the moon. A few moments passed, Arthur waited patiently without any rush, letting him think thoroughly.

"I'd take it."

Short and simple. Arthur then smiled.

"Good to know." He then brought back his hoodie then left without another word.

Before he left, he whispered but it was loud and clear to Anastacius.

"Jeanette wants to live beside the coast in west Obelia. Hope you like the humidity."

A smile formed on his lips.

Later that night...

"Arthur put the sword back."

"They look like they're about to kill each other."

"That's just every other sibling."

"Well we didn't succeed to kill the other, did we?"

"The fuck is that supposed to mean?"

Claude and Anastacius spoke about how they'd try to reconcile together as how their children said the same. Before the carriage left. Arthur tapped the window.

"Take care of yourself Jeanette, and write me anything you need okay?"

"Okay." Jeanette smiled.

"Oi, uncle. Hurt Jeanette and you'll wish you got hanged-"

SMACK

"OW!"

"Have fun by the beach!" Angelina smiled brightly. Behind her Arthur rubbing his back.

Fuck you, Angelina.

(I won't be continuing like the manwha because it went down hill after Jeanette and Anastacius left)

Waving at them from the tower, needless to say, Claude laughing sounded nice to them. The next few days Claude was busy assigning and going through what he had missed. Having a fake Body to have a burial for the 'execution' of the previous emperor. Athanasia had documents written down when she was a temporary queen so she was busy as well. Arthur had given the authority to find and arrest the rebellions of Claude. With the help of Angelina by scenting the black magic left by Aeterintas. Those affected and brain washed were hospitalised till the black magic was out of their system.

Those who willingly wanted to get Claude off the throne were arrested and sentenced to 10 years of prison time. The brain that got his body used by Aeterintas was locked up in a safe place outside of the palace because he was extremely violet and still had no consciousness to understand what had happened.

"I'm sorry. I think I heard that wrong. Repeat that again please?" Arthur asked.

"I want to officially crown Athanasia as crown princess."

"The empire is doomed." Arthur wiped a fake tear.

"I hate you."

"When will we start?" Angelina asked.

"It'll be held a year from now. We'll take it slow as I want all of us to rest from what happened."

"Sounds good to me."

-I'm back bitches.
