Victory Square, Norvale
Victory Square was decorated for celebration—banners, flowers, stages set up for performances. Today was the one-year anniversary of Emily's return to Norvale. The day Marcus had been arrested. The day freedom had returned.
Emily stood on the same platform where she'd addressed thirty thousand people a year ago. But today, the crowd was even larger—fifty thousand people, maybe more, filling the square and surrounding streets.
But today, she wasn't alone on the platform.
Timothy stood beside her, wearing formal attire befitting his new title: Prince Timothy of Norvale, Prince Consort to the Queen. They'd married again six months ago—a proper royal wedding this time, with international guests and massive celebration.
