Chapter 16
I walked hand in hand with Maeve through the heart of the kingdom, where history had been rewritten, and the scars of war were being healed by unity and determination. The streets, once marked by chaos and destruction, now bustled with life and vibrancy. Houses stood tall, rebuilt with care and resilience. People from both kingdoms worked side by side, sharing stories, laughter, and forging bonds that transcended the ashes of the past.
"Look around you," I spoke softly, my voice a gentle breeze in the air. "This is the result of our love, our sacrifice, and the strength of these people."
Maeve's eyes wandered, taking in the sights and sounds of a kingdom that had found its second chance. There were children playing in the streets, their laughter a testament to the newfound peace. Merchants peddled their wares in colorful stalls, and the scent of freshly baked bread wafted from a nearby bakery.
