Large droplets of tears fell from the royal family's eyes one after another.

Nothing could begin to describe the deep yearning they had for each other.

For it was deeper than the deepest ocean, and more vast than the endless sky.

But with each falling tear drop was a healing to their hearts.

Slowly, it filled up the emptiness—the void brought by the years of longing.

And slowly, it returned that precious smile to their faces

Yes, that smile that comes from the heart and soul.

Just as the people we loved could be the cause of our greatest suffering,

They, too, could be the source of our greatest joy.

And what greater joy was there than finding what you have lost?
