Dear Readers,



First of all—congratulations! You actually finished this nonsense. I'm impressed. Truly. Your patience, endurance, and ability to tolerate Thalia's antics (and mine) deserve a round of applause. 👏👏👏



Now, if you happened to notice wrong spellings, weird grammar, or sentences that made absolutely no sense, just know that I, too, saw them. And then I chose violence by ignoring them. Editing? Proofreading? Who has time for that? Trust the universe to fix it.



If there were things you didn't understand, don't worry. I didn't understand them either. Some parts of this story happened because I was bored. Some parts happened because Thalia possessed me mid-writing. And the rest? It was fate.



Loopholes? Oh, they're there for a reason.

What reason, you ask? Only the universe knows. The answers will come to you in your dreams. Or not. Who knows?



But let's get to the real question: What was your favorite scene? Was it Thalia's many failed escape attempts? The King's overprotective madness? Or the moment she realized she was doomed to be his forever? (RIP, Thalia.)



Thank you for reading, laughing, suffering, and staying until the end. Whether you loved this story, tolerated it, or questioned your life choices while reading it, I appreciate you.



Hopefully, I'll see you in my other stories! Who knows what chaotic nonsense I'll write next?



With love (and a slightly unhinged laugh),
