Chapter 25: Bonus - (Scarlette’s Voice): Bedtime Stories
I couldn’t believe this was really my life now.
Queen of the United Fairy Kingdom—ruling over the Love Fairies, the Light Fairies, and the Dark Fairies—beside their King, Veravos.
It’s complicated work, but I enjoy it. Nothing we can’t handle.
More importantly, I have a job I absolutely cannot fail.Yes—motherhood.
I sat at the edge of the bed, tucking in my two boys under soft covers, their eyes already sparkling with mischief and dreams.
"Mommy, can you tell us a bedtime story?" Azendian asked, cross-legged and eager. His eyes were bright, already swept up in whatever world I was about to spin.
Gacanagh was quieter, as usual. He sat beside his brother, hands pressed together in that familiar, thoughtful way. Still, he looked at me with the same unspoken hope. I couldn’t disappoint them—not tonight.
Just then, Veravos strolled in, his signature smirk on full display.
"Tell them about the Tree of Regrets," he teased.
I laughed, tossing a fist in the air like I was about to start a battle.
"What’s the Tree of Regrets?" Azendian asked, leaning forward with delight.
"Tell us, please!" Gacanagh chimed in, a rare grin tugging at his lips.
