I had to watch Anna leave, and my home no longer has any family members. Even the old butler had to bid farewell, not because he wanted to find another place to work, but because my family wanted him to rest after working so hard for many years. We officially have nothing left, except for hearts ready to beat strongly for each other. The estate has been sold to pay the wages of all the servants, and the castle had to be sold to pay off debts. We only have a small amount left and have moved to a wooden house by the riverbank. It is not even a house that we bought or rebuilt. It is the old house of the butler, and he gave it to us as a gift to show his gratitude. We just have to clean and decorate it to make it look more beautiful. Enzo has officially moved in with us, as the future son-in-law. We all agreed to hold the wedding when everything is back on track. A fairytale wedding is what we are aiming for, as my love story with him is no different from the stories people tell.

Without Anna, I have to rely on the help of Thena and Diana to do my makeup for the engagement. Thena is lively but clumsy, and Diana, though skilled in drawing, is not good at makeup. However, they try their best to make me the most beautiful woman. I trust these responsibilities in their hands, and I trust my own beauty even more.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

I wear my mother's old dress and use my grandmother's jewellery. We even sold all unnecessary jewellery, leaving only the family heirlooms. Each daughter in the family kept a set as her own asset. She also gave me her ring. I do not know how to describe my emotions today. I am a person who easily sheds tears, but on this happy day, I do notwant to shed any tears, even tears of happiness. Crying has been enough for me!

----------------------------------------

On the bank of the river, in the twilight, we become engaged. My father hands Enzo his ring, and now we will continue with that ring as husband and wife. We exchange rings. The evening ends with a kiss between him and me. My life has many regrets, but they have led to the ending of this tale. One day, the church bells will ring with a veil over my head fluttering in the wind. That day will not be so far away.

"Fiona, I promise to love you, cherish you, and support you on every path in this life."

"Enzo, I promise to love you, respect you, and support you on every step of this journey."
