Moments later, Finn, Rose, Poe and Luke returned.
"They've surrendered," Poe announced.
"Most of them didn't want to be a part of this to begin with," Finn pointed out, speaking from experience.
Ben nodded, knowing all too well how Snoke used fear to control his men.
Luke patted Ben on the shoulder. "Don't worry kid, it's all over now," he went over to hug his sister. "The war is over."
Leia smiled at him. "After so many years, we finally have peace."
"And on that note," the doctor interrupted. "I hate to pull you from the celebration, but I need to get Lady Rey somewhere so that I can stitch her wound. You too, your highness," he gestured to Ben. "Since you've ripped the last ones that I gave you."
Rey and Ben both sighed, in defeat. They had almost hoped that he would forget, but it had to be done.
"Come with me your majesties," the doctor ordered.
Rey nodded and wrapped her arm around Ben's waist to help him walk. She decided that she needed to ask the doctor to look at his legs, it was the only thing he hadn't checked when he healed Ben and she was beginning to worry that something was broken. Of course she knew that it could just be because he was badly bruised, he had been badly beaten by Snoke and his knights. His whole body was covered in bruises.
"Finn, and Poe search Snoke's men and put them in the dungeons until they can be tried and prove their loyalty," said King Han.
"Yes, your majesty," they replied, leaving to see it done.
"Rose, please get all of the staff back to their stations. You're in charge," Han said with a smile.
"Thank you, your highness," she answered, curtsying. Then she turned to do as she had been told.
"Kid," Han said gesturing to Christopher. "Take your fellow knights and search the castle grounds, make sure none of Snoke's army have slipped through."
Christopher bowed. "Yes, your highness." He turned to look for the rest of Ben's knights.
"Luke, we need you to get Alderaan's army back into the castle walls and get everyone to their posts as soon as possible. We're still vulnerable for another attack," Han said.
Luke nodded and turned to leave skipping all formalities, as the rightful heir to the throne they didn't apply to him.
King Han and Queen Leia then turned to follow Rey and Ben.

The doctor led Rey and Ben to their own room so that they could rest comfortably when he was done treating them.
The doctor opened the door. "You should be a lot more comfortable this time," he said, stepping inside.
"Can we speak to Rey alone for a moment?" Han asked.
"Of course, your majesty," the doctor gestured for Ben to follow him. "Prince Ben, help me get everything ready please."
Reluctantly Rey released her hold on him. "Be careful," she whispered, kissing his cheek. She didn't want him to fall.
"I will," he answered, following the doctor slowly so that she would see that he was doing what she said.
Once he went into their room, the doctor closed the door so that the king and queen could speak to Rey privately.
"Rey, we're sorry about your father," Leia said gently. "We didn't know that Ben..." she trailed off, shaking her head.
"If we had known we wouldn't have arranged your marriage. We were selfish Rey, Ben was lost and we loved you so much we hoped that you could bring back the boy that we had once known. We knew that our son would love you, but we didn't think about rather or not you would be happy. We thought that you would be, becoming a member of our family, getting to marry a prince; but we should have asked you how you felt about it," said Han.
