The Crown's Seduction

Chapter 494: Epilogue

"I can't believe how fast time flies," Mineah mused as she watched her one-year-old daughter, Alya, play with her cousin, Hope, Niran and Raul's daughter, who was just a month older.

"Indeed," Nikolai hummed in agreement, gently feeding her slices of fruit. They were enjoying a beachfront picnic with her closest friends, her former shadow maidens, who now had families of their own.

Most of them were in the water, playing and laughing, while Dahlia, whom Mineah had grown close to, kept an eye on the little girls.

"A lot has happened, but I'm so glad everything worked out for all of us," Mineah said, her gaze drifting toward Krisha, who was running along the shore with Taro. He had their two-year-old son, Niko, perched on his shoulders as he playfully chased after her. The boy's bright laughter was contagious.

"I can't wait to see Dani's baby. I wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl," she added with excitement, glancing at Dani, who was swimming with Abel.

Nikolai chuckled. "It's still early, my love. Dani just announced her pregnancy yesterday."

"I know," Mineah sighed, smiling. "I'm just too excited, I guess. Seeing everyone so happy after everything we've been through… It makes me grateful. Even though they followed me to a foreign country, they still found happiness in the end."

Even Laura was now married to Lord Fritz, and Mineah could see just how deeply in love the two were. She wouldn't be surprised if news of Laura's pregnancy came soon.

Nikolai reached for her hand, intertwining their fingers as he pressed a gentle kiss against her knuckles. "You have a way of bringing people together, Mineah. They followed you not just out of duty, but because they love you. And in the end, they found their own happiness alongside yours."
