My eyes were pasted to the screen, up to the last. A masterful wrap around for this wonderful series.
Lots of teasing to boot!

Can't believe I got distracted and missed this. Well done, slyc. Action packed. Full of twists and turns. A truly epic conclusion to the battle we all knew was to come. Love the way you handled Guy. Very much true to my vision of him.
I have loved this story! You could publish a book! Does Cedric live? What of Bennedict and Muriel? Does Evelyn marry Drest?? Awesome cliff hanger!
The knight chuckled. "Correct me if I am wrong, but seeing as how we have the same grandfather, and I am older . . . technically, I suppose, that would make me the rightful regent of Vix." He finished his statement with a wink.
Okay, he was joking, laws of succession can be different in a fictional universe, and also he may not have been familiar with thelaws of succession, but in English law at least he would have been wrong in several ways:
1) She's the legitimate offspring of the King - succession by direct descent.
2) John's mother was illegitimate, whereas Evelyn's father was legitimate.
3) Even if John's mother had been legitimate, being female would still have given Evelyn's father the throne, pushing John out of the direct line of succession.
The story implies that reason 3 at least still applies in the fictional universe.
OOPS, I gave that point a much bigger write-up than it deserves, although some may find it interesting.
