SWNOVELS Chapter 494
Chapter 494 – The People's Princess Ella
The crowd goes absolutely crazy as we walk into the sunlight and a
big smile appears on my face. Honestly, it was a bit of a back-and-forth for a few
months there, with the media continually debating whether I was a good or bad Queen
after the murder on the front steps. But I kept myself under control and carried on
doing the best I could, and things have continually come back to people
seeing that I only have your best interests in mind and that I really want to fight for
the small.
Also, I don't think it hurts to be the mother of a super adorable little prince and that
I just gave our nation its first princess.
The crowd says his name and I smile at them, pleased and bewildered by how he already said it.

Together, my little family and I move to the edge of the terrace and I lift a little

moment when his princess's face appears, shouting that she is beautiful and how happy he is.

“And you thought Ariel wasn't going to have as much scandal as Rafe,” Cora murmurs with a
smile, coming to my side. The crowd shouts as they see Jesse approaching as well; he
Little Duke is also a favorite.
“I know,” I laugh, turning to smile at my sister. “Poor Rafe did not understand
nothing of this".
“But look at him now,” Cora says, leaning forward and pointing at my son. I turn
and I see my partner smiling at Rafe, who is actually greeting people. I
I started laughing because it's very Rafe. He loves to greet and greet; he just has no idea
that he is greeting the thousands of people gathered in the streets.
Sinclair raises his hand and waves too, but I just smile and hold my baby close,
looking at her face. She wrinkles and frowns for a moment before opening a little
eyes and turn towards the noise of his people.
I laugh with joy, because even though I know she can't see anything, she looks for all things
as if she was trying to look at them and see them as much as they are hers. The

with his head, leaning forward to kiss me on the forehead, and then we said hello
one last time to the people before entering.
“Come on, Roger,” Cora laughs, and I look over my shoulder to see her pulling him toward her.

“No, this is fun,” he responds in a cheerful voice. "Give me Jesse, we'll stay
outside…"
“Ridiculous,” she sighs, but I can tell she thinks he’s funny. “Did you not receive

“Not at all,” Roger sighs dramatically, “Dominic took everything from me when

I smile and look at Sinclair's face in time to see him roll his eyes, but he doesn't.
he replies, and Henry just laughs behind us.
“You have a lot of attention, Roger,” Henry sighs as we return to our home.
“Your mother couldn't get enough of you; she thought you were very funny.”
“Just like I can't get enough of you,” I murmur to our sweet little Ariel,
“Or you!” I say, reaching out to ruffle Rafe's hair.
"What about me?" Sinclair asks when we reach our door, smiling at me.
while opening it.
“Oh, now that you've given me two children, I'm done with you,” I say, looking at him with wide eyes.
very open and serious, but not completely able to keep a straight face.
“Liar,” he laughs, pulling me closer to his side with his free hand.
“It's okay, Ells,” Cora says, coming to my side and kissing my cheek. “We will be at
end of the hallway, right? In case you need me?
“Thank you, Cora,” I say, leaving Sinclair's side as he greets them.

It's good to know that I have a doctor and a sister nearby.
She gives me an extra squeeze as I say goodbye to the rest of the Sinclairs and enter the
room with my partner and my children. My children. Plural! I laugh in wonder at the joy of

"Happy?" Sinclair asks, smiling at me as he closes the door.
“Elated,” he sighed, smiling at her before looking at the children. “But also exhausted. AND

to feed Ariel?
My partner smiles at me, takes a step closer and takes my chin in his hand. “Did he find out
that?" he asks.
"That?" I ask, confused.
“You just said the most beautiful sentence in the world,” he laughs, shaking his head at me.
“Asking me to take care of our son while you prepared to feed
our daughter. Our family, Ella, not that it wasn't before. But it's growing, which is
what we have always wanted.”
“I know,” I coo, leaning closer to him and biting my lip as I look at his beautiful
face, my eyes shine. " You're right. It is perfect."
And my perfect partner smiles at me before bending down and placing a kiss on my mouth, so long
that I sink into it, losing myself a little. So long that Rafe screams in protest,
giving a playful punch to Sinclair's chest because he's bored.
I laughed again and walked away, mumbling my apologies to Rafe as I asked him.
I snatch the crown from the head. “I'm so sorry, prince,” I say, wrinkling my nose.
as he laughs and reaches for the small hoop. “But you will have to get used to sharing
to mom and dad.”
I go into the closet and take out some newborn pajamas and a sleeping bag for Ariel,
who I know will want to take a nap very soon. She now gives some little screams
restless, clearly hungry and still not knowing how to communicate that desire throughout
of the link.
“Poor daughter,” I sigh, changing her as quickly as I can and then laying her down on the
Rafe's old bassinet on wheels while I quickly put on something a little more
comfortable and convenient for breastfeeding. “Just a minute, then we'll get you set up.”
I do everything I can to keep my word and come out in record time.
I smile when I see that Sinclair is thanking one of the kitchen workers
as they walk out the door, having delivered a cart full of food.
“Ah, Rafe's favorite distraction,” I say, smiling at my partner and son as I
I move towards my nest and sit on it, with Ariel snuggled comfortably in my arms.
" Food!"
“He's a hungry boy,” Sinclair says, smiling when Rafe does indeed reach the
tray, almost moving out of his father's arms as he does so. "But the
Half of this is for you!”
“Oh!” —I say really surprised, and then I laugh and shake my head because, of course,
Of course, I would forget to eat, I am so distracted by the love for my family. But I
I lay back on the pillows and lift up my shirt, preparing a restless Ariel to
her second feeding before I think about feeding myself.
“Yeah,” Sinclair murmurs, handing Rafe, his favorite, a slice of apple and
bringing the cart closer to me. “I thought you would forget to eat.”
“I'm going to forget a lot of things in the next week,” I murmur, relaxing.
while Ariel lights up and smiles at him. “You're going to be in full gear, monitoring the nation
and me.”
“The best duty I've ever had,” he sighs, placing Rafe in the small high chair.

some snacks in front of him. I turn my head to smile at my son, I'm glad he
He is also close.
“Do you think Ariel will keep Rafe up all night?” I ask, suddenly with
curiosity. “She will get up every two hours…”
“She,” Sinclair says, interrupting my train of thought as he sits on the
edge of the bed and places a hand on my knee. “I want to talk about all that, for
supposed. But you really need to tell me more about what happened when you went
visited by the Dark God.”
“Oh,” I say, looking at him with a little sadness on my face. Because it's not that it came out of
my mind precisely – I was just… I was really enjoying ignoring that and
enjoying the happiness of this moment.
“I know,” he sighs, leaning forward to caress my face with his palm. "But
It's been killing me, my love. Please."
“Okay,” I respond, nodding, knowing he needs to hear it all. So
I take a deep breath and launch into the story.
