EPILOGUE TWO: BLOODSPATTER IN THE HALLWAYS
----------------------------------------
Alcandor walks down the blood-soaked hallway to his sister’s dust-covered nursery with his new Queen and Ace. He hadn’t allowed them to clean or remove the furniture in there. He stops at the entrance to the room and gazes through the entire room. Before he can physically walk into the room, his hands clench and in a rage, he destroys the entirety of Alanni’s nursery. He shakes his head when he realizes what he’s done and runs to his study to hide from what he has done.
When Killigan realizes that Alcandor would not be coming back, they sigh before leaning back on their old friend. “Have the maids clean up the nursery.” Killigan sighs again before turning around to look at Krymsen. “We may not ever use it as a nursery for our own babes, but it being clean (as well as being gone) may help him get the closure he has been wanting.” The new Queen cuddles with their Ace before kissing him on the lips and walking away to go do the work required for keeping their new throne.
----------------------------------------
Several hours later, when it is almost time to go to bed, Alcandor stays in his study. He looks at the large custom-made painting of his sister and realizes that it will never replace her, even with how detailed it is. King Alcandor takes the last sip in his glass, throws the glass at the wall next to the painting, and yells in pain. His new Submissive, Queen Killigan, and his new Gheyo Ace run into the room. “Oh, Alcandor,” Queen Killigan says sadly before walking over to him. “Let’s go to bed, hmm?” They try to pull him out of the chair but cannot force him out of it.

Krymsen shakes his head and pulls the King’s drunk body out of the chair. “Let’s get you to bed then.” He pulls Alcandor to the bedroom and forces him into the bed after taking off his clothes.
Killigan turns off the lights before walking to the bed. “Sleep now, darling. Tomorrow will be another day. Hopefully, the scouts that you put out for Alanni finally report back to her location.” They kiss Alcandor on the head before climbing into bed and falling asleep.
King Alcandor breathes out before a tear rolls down his face. Krymsen wipes it away before forcing the man to lie down and attempt to sleep. Minutes later, nothing is heard from the chamber but silence.
