Chapter 20 - Epilogue
The Tragedy of being unwanted, disputed or a troublemaker.
Mark didn't know what he was going through deep down, but the time he began to bully other people in early stage of his teenager life and then slowly adopting worse strategies to end his inner suffering explains that he haven't had a beautiful childhood to begin with.
Adults are just grown-up children. How we become as a person depends on what kind of a childhood we had, and if we had a bad one, we can't do anything about it besides adopting different mechanisms to cope.
Mark's memories were tainted at a very young age, and his child self found him the odd one out.
After some days, everything came back to normal. Mark took, both injured Venezia and Rio to his Kingdom, Milan.
Soon Venezia made Mark understand that creating more death and destruction won't solve his problems, rather even create more.
And after few more days of resting, Venezia soon recovered.
The entire city of Milan waited for Venezia to recover and for their Prince to be crowned King.
The city was jeweled again, showcasing the hope of a new future, a new leader.
Although Mark wasn't sure how he would handle the entire kingdom himself, so he carefully asked Venezia to accompany her on this new journey together.
He proposed to her.
She said, yes.
It felt like two souls reuniting after a long long time, and Venezia was ready to do anything for her country and Mark.
The entire Italy gathered at the ceremony and she was coronated as a Queen of Milan.
The fearsome Cardinal of course , was elected as the new Pope.
Stars shined at night after the coronation, and the entire Castle screamed for new hope.
Mark held his Queen's hand slowly, while watching the other Nobility dance gracefully on front of them.
The evening ended with slow ballroom dances happening in all corners of the ballroom. Everything was shimmering and beautiful.
After somedays passed by, Venezia woke up in the middle of the night and watched Mark having his soundful and sober sleep after a, long time. The view was no more than a dream for her. To watch the love of her life, suffer internally, constantly. "Mark has a long way to heal" she thought to herself.
After taking two constant deep breaths, she slid from her bed and walked slowly to gather a huge black cloak from her wardrobe. She tossed it around her, making it flap and hug her already cold body and clipped it in between her shoulders. She then pulled out her sword , which was resting brilliantly on the side of the bookshelf and held it tight with pride.
Out she was again, on a strange adventure, not known to a single soul.
But maybe, the exception was Mark's curiosity, who thought what is she upto now.
He followed her as secretively as possible.
Except for each other, all the guards in the palace had the knowledge of this occurrence but they obviously didn't question it.
In the misty palace ground, Venezia was held close by Mark after getting pulled suddenly in a dark corner. He held her waist and slowly pulled her towards himself.
"What is my wife upto now?"
"Mark !!?" Venezia gasped in shock . "What are you doing here?"
"What do you think i'm doing here ?" Mark tried to come closer to her with the intention of stealing a kiss.
Venezia pulled back in hesitation and looked sideways, like she knows somebody is watching.
When she finally caught Mark's sight, she took a breath and asked "Do queens get to fight in battles?"
"You can." Mark stared at her with admiration "but i don't want to loose you.."
"Don't worry, you won't" A voice announced from nowhere, making Mark alert and scared all of a sudden.
It was Rio, holding his staff on one hand and his sword on the other. His long and luscious hair smoothly tied in a half bun, made his half naked upper body look submissive.
As soon as he made an entrance , Mark's grip on Venezia loosened.
"You kids should get a break from each other" Rio suggested.
"Dad, the war has just started" Venezia fumbled a lil but winked at Mark after a while and ran across the field in dark and dusky night cloud, ready to live her life to the fullest, finally.
