Heh. Well, once the soldier presented the evidence to the king and proved his worth to the king too, he got to marry his love and take over the kingdom as the new king. And the first thing he did was give the princesses permission to marry the princes they'd been dancing with all those nights in the secret ballroom. What was he gonna do, judge them for it? He owed them for giving him their blessing to reveal their secret, so the least he could do was help everyone live happily ever after.

. . . The end.

[What other way is there to end a fairy tale? Happily ever after, the end. A satisfying conclusion. Even if the old ones mostly aren't that way. This kind has its place, too.]

. . . Thanks for listening to all that I just made you sit through.
