With the Evil Queen dead, the Charmings were second in line to rule the kingdom and now had full reign. The king and queen were growing old. After they died, Snow White and Prince Casper Charming would be heir to the throne.

Anastasia was allowed to keep Wilbert, and the seven dwarves, who claimed they hated living alone in the woods anyway, opened a diamond mine just outside Lohr am Main and lived inside Snow White's old house. Anastasia and her father moved into the palace, though Anastasia visited Dopey often.

Ehrhart, on the other hand, had an entirely separate story. As he had earlier told Anastasia, he had been cursed by the Evil Queen three times. So it took three antidotes to life the spell: the first was when Snow White woke Anastasia with a true love's kiss, the second when Casper kissed Snow White, and the third when Anastasia kissed Snow. The three true love's kisses combined created the perfect antidote, and Ehrhart was freed from the mirror. He left the palace without the Evil Queen knowing (as she had been sleeping at the time), and walked the long journey to Lohr am Main, which was the village he'd grown up in. So when the Evil Queen shattered the Magic Mirror, she hadn't known that it no longer possessed power.

Ehrhart and Anastasia married, had children, and grew old together. Dopey became the palace jester, and he became the first to discover the land of elves- unintentionally, of course, living up to his name until the end. He ended up marrying an elf named Clara.

The king and queen passed on harmlessly; Casper and Snow White became the king and queen. As long as they lived, the kingdom burgeoned in peace and happiness, producing a surplus of crops, diamonds, and weapons each year. No kingdom wanted to confront them, for they had the best military in all the lands.

So now you know the story of what really happened- how I, Ehrhart, met a beautiful girl who promised to release me and then did so without meaning to. And how Snow White was a hero, but the real hero was the girl who no one remembered: the huntsman's daughter. I've written this document so that everyone involved in the story known throughout the lands as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs may be remembered as they were- not as they were made up to be. So now I shall say the timeless words to end the tale:

And they all lived happily ever after.
